Girls, How many of you women, that are in a relationship, have someone on the back burner?

[Wallythewalrus2]

I just read that nearly 70% of women, that are currently in a relationship, keep in touch with people they would consider dating, if their current relationship would end. This actually has Wally a little nervous! How many of you women would fall into this category?

[SecretsofKB]

Honestly, I don't know and never have. I've always been a one person at a time kind of person. If we are together, then I'm focused solely on you.

Plus, I'm engaged. It would be at the very least, rude as shit, if I had someone one the "backburner."

[Wallythewalrus2]

Just so you know, I have a hard time believing that stat. I think some women didn’t completely understand the question or plain out lied. I have more faith in women than that.

[SecretsofKB]

Yeah, I don't think it's true. I'm sure plenty of us, just like men, have people in their mind that they would consider being in a relationship should the current one end, but I don't think they are actively keeping in touch just in case.

Where did you get that statistic? That seems awfully high. I’ve never had someone on the back burner. A good indication of that is how long it is before I start dating someone after a breakup. It was almost year after my last breakup.

[Wallythewalrus2]

I think it is high but you can’t believe you represent a good cross section of women in this country, can you? That’s not an insult either.

[Beckybooboo]

I know what you’re saying but I also think there are more girls out there like me than you realize.

I've never had anyone on a back burner. I'm too focused on my life, work and my relationships. Nobody got time for that.

[Wallythewalrus2]

I think 70% is extremely high. I don’t believe it, I’m also too lazy to investigate exactly where that percentage came from and how the question was phrased.

[mandyfire98]

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on those statistics lol. There's no way.

[mandyfire98]

Sounds like red pill tiktok or YouTube stats

[Nikki1989]

I have no interest in other men.

I have many male friends, but I would never date any of them.

[Wallythewalrus2]

I have my doubts about how “scientific” that study was. I just don’t/can’t see it being that high,

[Nikki1989]

I doubt if it would be 10%, let alone 70.

[Wallythewalrus2]

Yeah, I agree.

[Akam93]

Ha definitely not me.
