Well this seems like a topic people can have some fun with. Please take a few minutes to read the article and if your up to it, take the test at the end and see how you compare with the 48 countries represented in the article.

I wouldn't score very high myself at this time in my life, I'm your basic single hermit. Even those of you in long term relationships will score higher than me.

Bad link.
 
33. That's probably a very low score, since the only questions I got high numbers on were about my imagination rather than reality. (Monogamous for 34 years.)

Some of those need to be updated for the HIV era. It takes more than a healthy sex drive (and the opportunity and morality to express it) to be promiscuous. You almost have to have a death wish!

As I've posted elsewhere, one music reviewer called the Pussycat Dolls' hit, "Don'cha," "the funeral march for erotic love in the era of AIDS."

"Don'cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? . . . . Maybe next lifetime, possibly."

Fortunately, even though my wife doesn't look exactly like Nicole Scherzinger, she's pretty hot.

Yeah! I still remember my 20's. I do think there's a difference between wanting to be promiscuous and actually being promiscuous. I was a bit picky to be very promiscuous, however I had a very active imagination.

Do you think there's any possibility this could be because I'm 67 and have been happily married since 1977 ??? Some of those answers are clearly heavily influenced by age. Younger people think about sex more and have it more often, and they're far more likely to have multiple partners. Even if I were single I'd do my damnedest to find a monogamous relationship; I'm too terrified of AIDS! Younger people have raging hormones and are more likely to seek and enjoy sex without love. And they're positive they're immortal so they don't worry as much about STD's.

So I put myself in a time warp.

It's 1969. I'm 26, freshly divorced from a dysfunctional marriage, starting a great career, living in Hollywood, a guitar-pickin' folksinger armed with the entire repertoire of both Kris Kristofferson and John Prine, ridin' a 650cc Triumph and also competing in enduros on a dirt bike. It's the heyday of the Sexual Revolution, there are about ten of us sittin' around gettin' high, playin' go, talkin' earnestly about what the fuck is wrong with this country (some things never change :)), and listenin' to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." Far out, man!

Four of the ten are girls. Any one of them would happily have sex with me if I came on to them in a civilized manner. I do and a couple of them do. One of them comes on to me and we do it. (Not right there and not all in one night!) Some of these people (including a couple of those same girls) do three-ways and four-ways, but I've never been into that. One lady, about ten years older than me, showed up at my front door one evening with an overnight bag. I was musing about taking a trip to Hawaii and three of them wanted to go with me. (Not together although come to think of it I never asked.)

I take your little test tonight and my score is 73.

So I've lost 40 points in about 40 years. About the same as my IQ, but that's due to too many years working for the government. :)

If I wanted to get laid, right now in 2011 at age 67, I can scroll down my contact list and find two numbers. The odds are about 20:1 that one would come through with a real hot date for tomorrow night. Real friends I've known for years. The Sexual Revolution is not over!

But I won't. I'm monogamous because I like it, not because I have no choice. Mrs. Fraggle is the most wonderful woman I've ever met. Funny, I didn't even think to mention the STD risk because that didn't figure in my reasoning.

Oh yeah, and because of a very sad thing I've learned over the years: Having sex with a friend very often changes the relationship and you don't have a friend anymore. I don't want to lose any friends.

Although I spent most of my life in the Southwest I never once dated a Latina. If I were single I would finally get around to that. And damn, they sure age well, they look way better than I do!
 
My last girlfriend dumped me in 1989. I haven't even kissed a woman since 1993. Yay for zero risk of STDs I guess. Too bad about the yearning for the sweet release of death that comes along with being such a complete failure with women.

Always remember no relationship is way better than a bad relationship. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe computer dating will work out better than death, I mean what have you got to lose. Find a selection of willing females that want to hook up with you and pick one and give it a shot.

Yeah, I thought about that age thing and I'm betting those countries with high ratings don't have a large population of aging baby boomers. I'm willing to bet if they tested with an age limit of 30 they would get a much more even spread across all the countries at many points higher than the current chart.

I got to know a half Latina. That's an experience I wouldn't care to repeat. I think sociopath females are not as common as in men, but when you meat one it's all downhill for you and there is nothing fun about the results.

Yes, but if you have a bad relationship it will eventually end, and the odds are that the next one will be okay. If you make up your mind to be a loner, then you'll never have a good relationship.

Once you've had one bad relationship, if it happens again you see the signs much sooner so you can end it more easily.

But if you have a series of bad relationships, it's time to remember that Demotivator slogan: "The only thing all your failed relationships had in common was YOU!" Get some help. Find out what you're doing wrong. Why do you attract these people and, just as importantly, why do you find them attractive?

Otherwise, it's just one of life's little risks. It happens to all of us. We pick ourselves up and move on. To love someone is to trust them. To avoid love is to avoid trust. To spend the rest of your life never trusting anyone is a piss-poor way to waste a perfectly good life!

Love is a mandatory requirement for a good life. Without it you're only half a person. It is far better to suffer the occasional betrayal, than never to trust.

I have a female friend who found several really nice compatible guys that way. She is a textbook illustration of that slogan: The one thing those relationships all had in common was her, and she sabotaged them all.

But if you're just looking to pick somebody up for sex on the internet, I have no idea who you're going to end up with. Sounds kinda scary to me.

I always found that the best way to find somebody was not to go out looking. Just go to the places you like to go to and do the things you like to do, and you'll meet women who like those same places and those same activities. You start right off with something important in common!

Be friends first. A friend and a girlfriend/spouse have the same requirements:
  • Honesty
  • Loyalty
  • Generosity
  • Fun
  • Intellectual companionship
Sure, for a girlfriend/spouse you also want romance and sex, but you don't have to list those because you'll be sure not to forget them! Besides, romance springs more easily between two people who are comfortable with each other, e.g., friends, and sex springs pretty naturally from romance.

The only one I have any info about is Japan, and it's rapidly becoming a nation of old people. Their young women don't want to marry Japanese men and have lives like their mothers had, so their birthrate is way below replacement level. They're seriously xenophobic so unlike the rest of us they're not bringing in immigrants to grease the economy and prop up their social security Ponzi scheme.

I'll bet the stats for Japan include all those businessmen who routinely hire hookers. This is one of the many reasons the women are fed up with them.

I think everybody believes that. But it could just be that they're better at concealing it. After all, they are generally more skillful communicators.

I don't think female sociopaths express it in the way that male ones do. Instead of becoming serial killers, they become trophy wives. I've often wondered if the female character Steinbeck portrayed in East of Eden (who I would consider a textbook sociopath) was based on someone he had met in his life.

Yes, I'm reminded of that every time I get cat food at Wal Mart, and see some of the frightening looking women with children. At least I don't come home to that.

My second wife was a Japanese born in Japan woman, so I did learn a little bit about their problems and you are pretty much right on. About 30 years ago I had a friend who worked for Standard Oil and they sent him and his family, wife and 2 boys over to live in Japan for 18 months. After they were there for about 8 months they asked me if I could take a vacation and come visit. So I did for two weeks. What an experience that was.

Even way back then with the conversion rate of 230 yen per dollar it was expensive, gas was about $5.50 per Gal at that time and you seemed to spend 20,000 yen notes like $5.00 bills. But most of the companies subsidized there workers by paying part of their gas and living expenses more or less depending on their rank and how long they were employed in the companies. If they wanted to change companies they lost all those subsidies. So they had lots of incentive to stay with the same company for life. The next problem is the workers were all expected to go out after work with the boss. Not going was bad for any advancement hopes. So if you had a party boss you were expected to drink with him however many nights he did.

About there xenophobic tendencies, each one of their cities has a foreign section for the guygenes (non Japanese). They like and treat foreigners good but race mixing is a big taboo. Any Japanese woman that dates a non Japanese will never get married to a Japanese man. Any Japanese woman that divorces a Japanese man will only get the clothes on her back and no company will hire her. Her only option is to try and leave the country if she wants any kind of normal life. When it comes to a woman’s rights they are about as backward as anyplace you can think of.

About narcissistic sociopath women you are probably right, it took me years to figure it out. I needed thinking time away from her to work it out. Having the Internet to do research really helped out. Everybody who knows her hurts because of her, her parents, her 5 kids and any men in her life have all suffered a great deal, and nobody ever brought up that she was a sociopath. I told her she was a text book sociopath and sent her the documentation to prove what I told her. But I'm not sure she evens cares or believes it. She really doesn't think there is anything wrong with her being the way she is. But she is aware that she doesn't have the best life she could have.

Ok...I heard this, so it's apocryphal... A friend of mine had a fellow shipman and Navy buddy who always managed to have sex when he was in any port.
Free (have to add that part).

His technique was blatant. He would walk up to any girl he found even remotely attractive and said "Hi, I think you're pretty. Would you like to have sex with me?"
It supposedly took him about an average of 20 women or so before he'd find one to say yes on the spot.

Your mileage may vary, but it really is like sales.
14 no/1 yes ratio is considered the average for sales.

So the best way to look at approaching women and asking them out is to figure if one says no...then that is one less you no you have to hear on the way to yes.

And so the ego ouchness of getting a turndown stings a lot less when you look at it like that.
That's what worked for me:D.

If you aren't all that to look at, it just ups your numbers, is all.
But whatever you do, if you're miserable, continuing in the same pattern will produce the same miserable result.

Might as well find a new way of being miserable;).

That may very well be true, but you don't really know that. The fact is that anyone looking to meet someone, is ready and looking for a relationship. So right away you've filtered out all the not interested females and that's a big relief and a lot wasted time you won't have to worry about. Also the more you work whatever service you choose the better you will get at screaning out the bad choices. But what do I know, for the time being I'm happy not being involved.
