How Promiscuous Are You? Take The Test

Maybe we need to know if you've ever had sex then?
Interesting thread.
Apparently, promiscuity, for most, is more of a mental exercise than a fait accompli, despite living in a generally permissive time, albeit with perhaps greater physical risk from STD's if proper precaution is not observed.
What I'm really picking up on is that some of you who might care to have a significant other in your lives, are very vulnerable and uncertain of how or even if you should pursue such a course of action. Your candor is very much appreciated fellows. Hopefully more women are reading and appreciating your dilemma.

Wow...you really need to get out more.
I understand senior housing has a plethora of opportunities for the older single gentleman.
Remember, wives do tend to outlive their husbands.
Also remember, we've got new and improved VD now

Hey that test is meant for women too. I think more women are more promiscuous than they are willing to admit to. At least the under 30 year old's, no wait they don't seem to care who knows do they? Only the over 30 crowd cares about hiding their carnal activities. But guys are sexually peaking going into their 20's while women tend to wait until after 30 to start having more satisfying sex. No wonder there are so many problems. Why can't we all be friends with benefits and see how that sorts out. But you did mention something about appreciating a mans dilemma. Thank you for small favors, they are appreciated by men.
So do I win if I beat Finland? Or is that a loss? I scored a 52.
I was trying to remember what year the challenger blew up. It was like, 3 years before that....
If it wasn't for the question on fantasizing I'd barely have a score. Of course I don't fantasize about my most recent partner, what good would that do? Surely promiscuity is acting on it though?
I'm also a tad confused why the scales don't start on 0, I mean you disagree with a statement but still score points.

So let me guess, your in your 20's, maybe the 30's and doing well with the women?
There's probably a good reason for that, maybe you can find out with a little research. I think they should break the responses down by age group by the decade, so countries that have a large aging population don't think their not promiscuous or something like that.

Why??? People are generally attracted to people with whom they have quite a bit in common, so most of the time someone you find attractive will find you at least acceptable. It sounds like you're just making an excuse to avoid looking, perhaps because you had three bad experiences in a row or something like that. (In which case it's time to go back and re-read that Demotivator slogan about failed relationships and do some work on your side of the potential relationships.)
Don't be so quick to judge. A lot of women are interested in older men for a variety of reasons. A woman who takes life seriously and wants a good future, perhaps to avoid the life her parents had or the one she almost ended up with in her previous relationship, might want a man who's more mature, serious and reliable--not to mention established in his profession, making a decent income, if he's got children they're already grown up, and thrilled at the concept of a younger woman actually liking him. One of my best friends was engaged to a man who was 45 when she was 25, and the breakup was his doing, not hers.
A guy I used to know had worked for the American branch of a Japanese firm. When one of the executives came over it was his duty to keep him entertained. He couldn't believe that the bars actually close here! He asked if all bars here close at 2am and like an idiot, my friend said, "No, in Las Vegas they never close." The boss said, "Great, let's go there!" Most foreigners have no idea how great distances are in the U.S.; it's a four-hour drive from L.A. to L.V. Fortunately the boss had a very important conference in the morning and couldn't make the trip.
But that's not the end of the story folks, oh no! The next year he was sent to the home office to consult on product development for the American market. On top of the jet lag he had a grueling day of meetings and conferences, followed by a long and grueling evening of drinking. Finally he got back to his hotel and had just turned out the lights, when he heard a very polite little knock on the door. He got up and opened it, and a hooker was standing there, sent by corporate management. Since those guys consort with prostitutes regularly even when they're home, they assumed that any man who was an ocean away from his wife would certainly need one.
It's virtually impossible for foreigners to become Japanese citizens, or even their children. So there's no way that immigration can mitigate the economic impact of their low birth rate, the way it does in the USA and Europe.
Sociopaths don't care what other people think, except insofar as they can manipulate us to accommodate their desires.
She will not try to fix it by becoming a better person. She will become a better liar and manipulator.
Wow, that makes (at least) three of our members who are older than me. I remember Harry but Ike was in office when I reached puberty.
That was my objection to the test. Most of the questions ask what's going on in your head rather than your genitals. The dictionary clearly says that a promiscuous person is one who has sex casually with multiple partners. Even a polygamist is not promiscuous! So I don't think a person who merely thinks about it can possibly be accused of promiscuity. That would cover almost every man younger than 30, as well as almost every man who ain't gettin' any!
And how about all the actresses and other female celebrities who are paid to make us dream about screwing them? Does that make us promiscuous?
I'm just sticking to a masculine perspective here, but I suspect that these are not foreign concepts to girls and women.
The answer to the IF part of the question is very simple: YES! Unless you have a medical condition and having sex will kill you, or unless you have a disease that would be bad for your partner, you should put down your mouse, get dressed, and start looking for someone right down.
The answer to the HOW part is not so simple, but I have two suggestions that both worked for me in the past and work for tens of millions of other people:
- As I said earlier, just go out to the places you like to go to, and do the things you like to do. There will be other people there who like going to those same places and doing those same things. You've automatically got something important in common with them! It's perfectly natural to strike up a conversation with somebody in a situation like that because the purpose is not to start a romance, but to talk to somebody about something you both like. I'm an old man with a highly visible wedding ring, and women still walk up and talk to me at concerts, flower shows, museums, Petco, and even Home Depot, because we have something to talk about that has nothing to do with dating or sex. I met my first wife at a dance, several girlfriends while out motorcycling, and Mrs. Fraggle at a gathering of friends who liked music.
- As I've noted before, most Americans meet their future spouses at work. You get to see how people are in real life, concentrating on getting their job done instead of trying to make an impression. You have perfectly valid reasons for talking to each other and finding out how you think and what's important to you. Not to mention, you spend more time at work than on any other single activity, including (for many of us) sleeping. I met a couple of really nice girlfriends at work.
That's what I thought. They're measuring our dreams, not our real lives.
Who cares if those wacky Finns lie awake at night fantasizing about having sex with the entire ladies' soccer team. How much are they actually getting?

Damn! Fraggle Rocker you are a writing machine. I had no idea this topic would be of such interest to you. Your right about the test, it's not very scientific or even very useful other than to get a good dialog going. I thought it would be a fun topic, but it turned into a lot of good information too. I guess you never know where any topic might lead when you start it. You make me almost feel sorry for the Japanese, but only almost, they need to grow up the same as the rest of the civilized countries, by the road of hard knocks.

Bookstores are good ones.
I can generally tell when a woman might be into me.
Not as simple as Robin Williams would have it-a woman in practical shoes-but I think there's at least two women I see regularly at work who...give me that vibe.
OTOH I did take a straight girl out on a date once *facepalm*
Guys, I could pick up all over the place, not har....er....difficult.
Funny, gay men seem to be slightly easier to detect.

I have to be. I write for a living!
Did she know it was a date?
It's easy to pick up a guy. Just stop pushing him away and hitting him over the head with a brick.
It's like those ridiculous stories about female high school teachers who get arrested for "seducing" the boys. You don't have to seduce a teenage boy: just stop running away from him!
Men have two completely contradictory stereotypes of gay women. One is the tough, masculine-looking butch lady with no makeup and no softness about her. The other is the ultra-feminine lady with the Barbie-perfect body and a Rodeo Drive coiffure, lounging around in Victoria's Secret lingerie... in a porn video.
this is true as most people meet their significant others at work, if they did not meet them in college. or they meet them through mutual friends. though you may meet people casually at public places and talk, because there isn't reason to continue it beyond the casual or you only see them that once, it usually doesn't go further. it becomes awkward because you need an excuse. i met someone who was really cute who was in my building and i could tell he was attracted to me but we both didn't have any reason to talk, so it's like ships passing by eachother. when i was doing laundry, he would come really close and brush his hand against mine and stand very close to me but it's kind of embarassing as we both act like we aren't attracted but we are and exchange mundane talk like 'ill be out of your way soon' etc. lmao
rarely do people meet someone say, at a nightclub, and that becomes a lasting relationship though many people seem to think you can find someone there.
it's true that it's best to be yourself, especially if you are looking for a long-term relationship, so the other person knows you truly.

Speaking as a woman, the topic of gentlemen occasionally arises....
One of my more mature female friends used to think that Sam Elliot was a very attractive gentlemen, and I have always thought Pierce Brosnan to portray a most cultured and intriguing male personality, as well as being easy on the eyes.
As we are all going to age and the years and gravity may not be kind to our biology, it is always a good investment to develop a bit of tolerance and personality.
May I be so bold as to remark that you seem to have a significant amount of 'character' in your tolerance displayed as a moderator....
From another thread, your remark on 'Dork Matter' belonging in the Cosmology forum had me in stitches......
Insults are always a mirror for the originator, I was taught.
I just picked "Truman" out of a hat. Actually, he predates me. I could have picked "Millard Fillmore", but that wouldn't have been as funny, perhaps.

Am I right about this calculation, you can get a score of 50 without actually having any sex at all?
I scored 184, and am quite surprised that I scored so high. Didn't think I was all that promiscuous.

These days I don't see anybody doing that. They just want to "hook up." The men are ready for it when they walk in, the gals have to get pretty snokkered first.
However, other musicians who play out more frequently than I do say that it's common for girls (sorry, any woman young enough to be my granddaughter is a "girl" to me
) to hit on the guys in the band. They like the music and the club scene so much that it's a real thrill to have a musician for a boyfriend... and then for a husband. For a while! After a couple of years they get really tired of him never being home on Friday and Saturday nights.
The flaws that we notice most easily in others are the ones we're most familiar with: because we live with them 24/7.
