How many women go for men?
How many men do women get to choose from? Realistically? How many sensible,realistic options?

A 2017 survey of 2,180 people from the U.S. and Europe from U.K. health service found women had a lifetime average of 7 sexual partners. Men had an average of 8 sexual partners.

Yah but how many people do they have a chance with? Like on average how many women or men would be interested in you? Not just people you have sex with.

It depends on the person., and on whether or not they can tell the difference between civil treatment, true friendship, romantic interest, and sexual desire.

Well based on the amount of people I eye up for sex it's probably in the region of millions per life time.

Or maybe I'm just hungry.

If you want romantic opportunities, become the kind of person with whom others will want a romantic relationship.

I mean like you walk into a bar and out of 200 people how many would be chill with sleeping with you? Relos ect? Like how many do you think your dad had a shot with before he chose your momma?

For example I assume that some people settle and I was just wondering how many people they had to eliminate before they chose their spouse?

Oh OK I get you now. It could depend on how lucky you are. Some people find true love in their first romantic encounter. For other people it could take a lifetime of one night stands.

I don't think there is a number. Maybe there is a study somewhere and there maybe an average number.

Then why ask questions that are impossible to answer without reading other people’s minds?

@Itendswithmexx

Perhaps part of the problem is the type of man you're is going for

What's your type?

Eh but they maybe your one true love but your not theirs. Or you're just not compatible. Men who don’t want me seem to be incredibly attractive. Tall,blue eyed, blonde hair/ brown hair. But then you try to imagine what it would look like and yeah it don’t look right.
