Perhaps a rotation of women is why you are severely depressed (as seen in the Depression thread)?

Casual sex can lead to depression.

Also TheWeeknd would make me depressed, too.

lol at dealing with girls in this day and age women are ruined and not worth any time

I'll pass one some great advice I was given on this subject. You should manage women like chef making a meal on the stove. The key is to always utilize all you burners.

You've got your main dish up front that your actively working on high heat, giving it most of your attention. You also have a nice side dish going on the other front burner that doesn't require as much attention but is ready and kind of sitting there simmering for when you need it. Then you have your basic, easy dishes sitting on the back burners that you just want to keep your eye on and stir around every once in a while when you have a break from your main dishes to keep them fresh. You always want to keep all your burners going since you might burn a main dish or just get tired of the same meal or a back burner could flare up and need to be moved to a front burner for a while.

that's what i don't understand about just ****ign around on tinder

you don't know when you get a STD? ****, bitches put so much make up on their face you might not even to be able to see the sores

even in an "exclusive" relationship, who knows, she might have hooked up with some random dude with HIV last week without telling you and if you go in, "oh snap you got da aids"

no thanks jeff for just 10 mins of pleasure

lool

I like to have 8-12 that I could randomly txt for a smash

yeah id rather be a sexless fa

Anything more than 3 is unmanageable.

One, your girlfriend/wife.

Lol @ people who say 2-3+ and then complain that the dating game is rigged. You yourself are the catalyst of it.

Any more than two starts to get stressful imo.

I agree with most of you in this thread. Two is perfect...maybe three if the third is an out-of-town chick.

For a while after my ex and I first broke up, we were in that post-breakup phase where we still fukked all the time. Meanwhile, I had started banging this POF sloot, also. This was GOAT because I was rotating them every other day. Any more girls than that would probably be too time-consuming and stressful, but having two was perfect.

3 active but keep them all on the back burner. I don't burn bridges. You never know when their boyfriend is going to disappoint them and they need a dink to cry on. I've had girls from years back hit me up to "hang out" before.

Correct answer : none

Two is definitely the max

Anymore than two is just exhausting

Of course, that's not counting the bullpen which is full of girls you like on instagram or randomly comment on to keep in touch so when someone in your rotation falls out, you bring in the next one without much more work.

The real question is how many other dinks is your roster taking in? If you have 5 girls and they are taking in 3 dinks each then you're getting a part of 15 dinks in your diet. So that means you're taking in quite a few dinks every week.

1 main and two peripherals, in other words: three

It’s much easier if at least two out of three know they aren’t exclusive

Sure dude, they are all cum dumpsters and I don’t have an issue with it

That analogy really starts breaking down at the end if you know anything about culinary arts. Cooking up a meal with 4 burners just doesn't work like that.

You might have a sauce simmering on a back burner not a "dish". Then you might have a pot of boiling water also not a dish. The front burner has your main meal but that other front burner would be to saute. That requires a lot of attention. Then all that stuff combined would be the "dish" not 4 separate dishes.

The analogy just doesn't work unless u know nothing about food prep

i only ever date one girl at a time. dating multiple at the same time can be complicated.

on that subject though, there are several girls i interact with at work who im always flirting with and i hate it when im around two of them at the same time.

Thank you, glad to see you.

lol! Welcome back Roxy!

It depends on how much you value your free time.

Yeah dating 3-4 different women at once can initially be exciting and cool but nobody else gives a phuck and you gotta decide if the time trade off is worth it and if you are willing to risk yourself in a number of different areas. It doesn't matter if you just meet up with each woman once or twice a week, you have to spend hours coordinating/texting back and dedicating time to respond if you want to keep their attention. Most women are needy and glued to their phones so it wasn't uncommon for me to receive 15+ texts a day from each chick including stupid bull**** like "good morning", "hows your day going", "wyd" etc. Literally spent hours each week just responding to all of them. Not to mention if you are actually dating them outside of phucking you will have to deal with their drama and emotional breakdowns. Plus as others have mentioned you risk STI, pregnancy scares and you better believe even if you are 100% safe you will eventually have a situation where you get a reality check. It's honestly a better option to find one gf who arranges threesomes every once in a while so you are satisfied. You are just doing this for the sex and thrill of sleeping with different women so there is a way to do it without the stress, time sink and drama.

I dated 4-5 women for about 5 months and couldnt handle it so I cut ties with all all of them minus one. Nowadays I enjoy spending time with my dog outside and have one stable relationship. I've been so much less stressed not to mention more productive due to having lots of free time. My life is so much more peaceful and luckily I broke things off without anything too crazy happening. Seriously OP this is a phase and you will grow out of it eventually so enjoy it while it lasts. Good luck!

<3 hello dear

Sounds like you're deflecting now. It was a genuine question, maybe someone else is willing to be honest with themselves and answer it.

Casually dating? Maybe two.

Having sex? Only one.

I don't do casual sex or hookups. I won't sleep with a woman unless there is a very real possibility of a long term relationship.

I think you're overthinking it. Not every girl is a future ex-wife. I don't get jealous over girls I don't have feelings for. If I had feelings for them, then yes, they'd need to be exclusive to me or it wouldn't work.

Doesn't really answer my question. In your mind, do you view them as exclusively sex objects (like a sex toy) or is there a human/friend connection there?

The reason I think you have to view them as the former is because, like I mentioned, they could have been pumped by another dik hours before meeting you.
