Is there a certain number? Is there a point where you start to wonder "damn, wtf am I doing with my life?"

I was recently watching an episode of how I met your mother where Barney is trying to find the perfect lay for his 200th. And it got me thinking at what point does it become too much?

200th is pretty impressive...

But I can't shake the feeling that by 30 or so, I'd like to be settled down...

To each his own but for me it's never enough. I don't know about 200 but I'm definitely over 100 and have no regrets. I've been married and it sucks - divorce is the worst possible thing in the world, humans just weren't meant to be married. I'm just going to enjoy all the fun and women life has to offer.

Over 100? teach me.

Option 1: Have George Clooney's charisma, Ryan Gosling's body, Patrick Dempsey's smile, and Johnny Depp's mystique.

Option 2: Have more money than the lovechild of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

Option 3: Hit on girls like a Catholic priest hits on little boys - shamelessly and in copious amounts.

Option 4: Some combination of the above.

Sounds gay to me. You might as well tell him to bang Elton John

By the way, why would he hits on girls when he is looking for women?

So you want him to become a pedophile like some catholic priest?

You got a sad and twisted mind. May God Bless your soul cause you need prayer.

I remember thinking 100 was a HUGE number when I was 19 and the first of my friends passed the century mark at 23 (he commemorated the occasion with a party and a hot Asian hooker). As you get older you realize that 100 is just an average of 10 over 10 years, which you'll probably hit by accident if you just make it to dollar drink night once a week.

I have no opinion on how many is too many. I suppose strange is like money, so more is better.

I've often said that a man could have sex with only one woman in his entire life and be happy, but the minute he has sex with two he's fucked. Once you have someone to compare the first woman against (one will inevitably be better than the other), you begin your quest for the ultimate piece of ass and you'll always wonder if you could be doing better.

Until you get to be my age, that is, and it's a minor miracle that anyone will sleep with you at all.

Counting after 5-10 is pretty lame, what are you trying to justify your masculinity through your number? I have a good idea of the range of my number but to be honest there has been so many 2nd shots or more that months later you're giving it another go and you really lose track of whether this is the first time with this girl or you've already had sex with her a few times before.

I've been married and it sucks - divorce is the worst possible thing in the world, humans just weren't meant to be married. I'm just going to enjoy all the fun and women life has to offer.

Over 100? teach me.

1 - I'm a little older than most of you (mid 30s). So as Eddie pointed out, after a few years 100 is really not as high a number as you think it is. But of course you don't get there by accident. I think my real number is 130+ (ish)

2 - I'm tall - 6'4". That helps :). I have yet to meet a woman that likes a short guy over a tall guy. Not trying to hate on the short guys. Women are just pre wired to like tall guys.

3 - Be confident and assertive. Forget all the women's lib bullshit, women like a man that takes the lead and are dominant in the relationship. Don't ask her, TELL her. Don't be an asshole, but be firm. "is it ok if I pick you up? When will you be ready? Where would you like to go?". WRONG. Try this instead: "I will be at your place at 7 and I have a reservation for us at this restaurant that I want to go to and I think you look great in your blue skirt and would appreciate it if you wore it for me tonight . . .". Sure, it's not going to work for everyone, but just try it, you might be surprised at the results.

4 - you gotta have some game. A wise man once told me that women like a man who cooks. It's true. You invite a woman over, pour some wine, have some flowers for her, cook a dinner for both of you. Keep a nice & clean place with some music in the backround and, fughedaboudit, her panties will just slip off, you wont even have to try.

5 - you gotta know shit about the world. I have this theory that women are turned on by learning things. Teaching them things makes then want you in some primal way. I'm a voracious reader on current events so I tend to talk about those things. I also read about (and enjoy) wine & cigars and teach women about that. This is all just a theory of course but it's worked well for me.

I'm sure there's other things that im forgetting right now (didn't list any of the bedroom stuff) but this will get you started :)

As many of the poster before me has pointed out; After a couple of years with a normal sex drive you've most likely slayed 50+ laidies/dragons. I don't know my exact number, but it is somewhere in the range of 50-70 as I don't keep tab on who I've done before in an inebriated state at 4 in the morning.

A tip is never to ask a woman/girl/lady/dragon if you've slept together before because you recognize the motions. Can't possibly turn out good for you.

I seriously believe it is pretty easy to patten your numbers. In high school alone, you can get 10-15. freshman yr of college you better be able to get a good number and so on. Over time the numbers will slowly add up and next thing you know, you'll be at 50 and you're going to try to remember who was who and sometime you will even forget who you fondled with.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
