okay, gawd knows that my math is suspect, but the answer seems clear to me how men can have more partners than women. Let's assume that there is a man who has slept with three different women, and those women have only slept with him (and probably assume they're his only partner, but I digress). So, he has 3 partners, and each of the women has 1 partner. Perfectly logical, I think.

But we would expect there would be two more guys who slept with no women . So if we're talking mean then it could work, but if it's median then yours is an example of Dr. Gale being wrong.

Anytime those articles start out with, "We all know men are naturally hornier than women because they have to spread their seed." I completely tune out.

But DJ I think that particular article is trying to say they aren't. Or rather that there are just as many women sexing up as men. It all follows the American Pie Rule of Three.

It seemed off to me, but I wanted the mathier types to weigh in.

It comes down to people hearing the word "average" and assuming it's the mean average. Which quite a lot of people do.

I'm currently not answering the door because I can see that it's the weird guy knocking. There's a guy who grew up in this neighborhood who wanders about, always with his shirt open, knocking on people's doors asking to do yard work. He mows my neighbor's yard on the one side; my neighbor on the other side went to school with him and won't hire him because he's creepy. He gives off such a creepy vibe that I don't want to deal with him in any way, but I'm not sure I want to piss him off, either, because ::creepy::.

Math is hurting my head. Let's just make out.
