Right, and someone with >100 partners kinda outs themselves as either incapable of or uninterested in a stable relationship.

I mean, it depends on how old you are, right? I did a 22 year monogamous stretch, but before that and between that and my husband now (10 years so far monogamous) got around some & had fun, my # would doubtless be shocking to many if I could even figure it out but it doesn't mean I can't be in a stable relationship, I was before and am now too. Husband similar story.

Some of us can enjoy recreational sex and also enjoy committed relationships.

Oh sure. I'm just saying that most people with a ton of partners probably aren't interested in settling into a commited relationship. There are always exceptions.

Nah. Knowing that someone has fucked 100 people, what this 4chan user is talking about, just tells you that that person does not view sex and relationships as a single thing.

You only get a body count that high by doing one-offs, where you are just looking for sex and aren't trying to turn it into a relationship. That tells you nothing about how good a partner they will be once they actually enter one.

This assumption that sex should only happen between partners in a relationship is exactly why people jump into self-destructing relationships instead of waiting for a person they actually vibe with.

Or maybe they're perfectly capable of a stable relationship, they just also enjoy casual sex. Maybe even at the same time in a non-monogamous context.

Yeah thats what im saying. A relationship is both physical and emotional(for me at least). Theres a reason why most couples move in together, sleep together, etc. Youre not just fucking the person but their soul as well(literally what my english teacher said💀, but i agree).

Right. You can have all of one without the other, or you can have a mix of both. Someone with >100 partners is communicating that they're probably more interested in a physical relationship than a deep emotional one.
