Are you using the term "boyfriends or girlfriends" in a literal sense (a meaningful relationship) or as a euphemism for "somebody you've had sex with".
On several occasions when I knew the guy I caught girls referring to a confirmed sexual relationship as "he does not count" for any number of whimsical reasons.
The real number for most date-able women on the prude side is 1.2-1.5 per year times the number of years since they've lost virginity. The real number for average women in a large metropolitan area would be closer to 1.8...2.5 times the number of years since they've lost virginity.
For guys it is different because in most age groups up to middle age, the top 10-15% guys by appearance and social standing are having sex with all those women, while the remaining guys get nada.
Age 35
3 GF's - in chronological order lasting 6.5 years; 8 months; current 9 months and counting.
had an additional date with one girl...So total 4.
I turn 19 next month and I've had a few grade school crushes and "one-week/month" relationships. But I consider my current boyfriend to be my first "real" relationship. We started dating at the end of my freshman year of high school and we're going into our second year of college now. So I voted B in the poll.
I'm 18 and I have had 3 relationships in total. Only one of those was a serious relationship and it's with my current and absolutely wonderful boyfriend. The other two were just a couple dates but definitely learning experiences :)
Two. One is serious the other one wasn't.
I am 21. I used to avoid relationships like the plague when I was a teen. I didn't do the one night stand thing either. I am very unconventional in regards to that.

i’ve had 9 boyfriends, only one I dated for a year and a half and the last one i’ve been on and off with for the past 2 years. Granted most of my boyfriends only lasted a month maybe 2 or 3 tops.
I'm 18yo going on 19 this year and I've been with the same guy since I was 14. He is also my first boyfriend.
I'd say only two true girlfriends. Others weren't really relationships (and no never did anything sexual with em either). Those were complicated lol. I don't really care to date casually and I don't date quickly either.
I'm 19 and I've never had a boyfriend. I've never even kissed. The only thing I've done with a dude was give him a hug and he called an evil seductress.
30. 3 long term boyfriends, one 1/2 years, 5 1/2 years, and 8 years (give or take, with the complicated start and end, and break up in the middle). 3 boyfriends that lasted a couple months each.
21 years old and I've had four boyfriends in my life. That is counting my current fiance.
Each relationship lasted over one year, my current one is five years.
This depends, are you asking how many people I have dated and had an actual boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with (may or may not include sex). Or are you asking how many sexual partners I've had in my lifetime? Or both?
I'm 18. Please clarify. :P
I'm 20, one boyfriend, going on fourth year together
21, two serious relationships.. one lasted a year, the other 2 years
I am 21 and have had 3 girls I've been in a relationship with
I'm 24. My only girlfriend ever was in 6th grade, it only lasted for a month and a half and we never even held hands. So I'm not sure that it even counts.
I'm 25, and I had one short-term boyfriend in college.
2 sexually active boyfriends. one long-term sexual partner without the status. And a ridiculous number of pre-sex boyfriends between the age of 13 and 23. I can't even remember them all to count them. I'm 29.
23 & none so far...that needs to change...hopefully sometime soon...
I'm 21 and have had 7 boyfriends. Most were in high school and weren't serious.
16. I've had 3 girlfriends. Two in middle school. One that ended just before the start of freshmen year. I don't think it's that bad, not having many girlfriends seems better to me.
I'm actually 28 not 35 made a mistake while signing up and 0 GF's I'm too ugly for a Girlfriend girls don't even talk or wanna look at me. They all want good looking douche bags.
18. One boyfriend & two other have asked but I was younger haha

23. I've had one serious boyfriend.
