At least with online voting its already anonymous. People in person always pad their numbers to save face.
They do? Why?

First, I don't know why it has to be brought up when out on a date or with friends. And why would anyone lie? That's a big pet-peeve of mine. Ask me something and I'll give you the truth.

But I'm a little older and it could be more of a sport these days to the younger generation but I do not know for sure.

I think 24 is a lot. I'm nowhere near that and I've spent 30+ years of my adult life being single and unattached including currently.

Number padding is done to look like you get lots of ass. I really had to explain that?

There are plenty insecure about their number who lie.

I don't need a poll to tell me my number is lower than most my age, nor does it make me feel bad about myself or make me wish I'd done things differently when I was younger. The truth is I was a late bloomer and at 38 basically have the dating experience of an 18 year old.

I was a good little Christian boy, a virgin on my wedding night. For as old as I am, my "count" is incredibly low, and you know what....I'm completely ok with that.

Judging someone for who they slept with in the past is not giving credit for who that person is now.
Agree 100%

I have never understood how people are judged by who they have been with in the past.

One of the best people I have ever met (and dated for a short time) even to this day was a girl who has been with -by society standards- entirely too many people. Probably would have married that girl had we not simply been in two different places in our lives. Point is, had I judged her on her past I would have missed out on something really great. There is always that one you let get away and for me that was her.

I think it's dumb to do so. And adding extremely immature. I don't get it and I can't relate.

No need to be rude with the "I really had to explain that" comment. I would have rather you just ignore my question then for you to be uncivil.

And you should be. As I stated in my previous post - it shouldnt matter if that number was 1 or 100,000.
