Would you be comfortable in the knowledge that your date had slept with hundreds of women?

[SoleSource]

Or would that fact be off putting?

Just asking for a friend.

Yes, she believes him. No, it's not me.

She has slept with seven men in her life she told me.

Urgh! 900! why would he feel the need to sleep with 900 women?
I do believe it is a total red herring that if someone has slept with hundreds of people they are skilled in bed. In my experience it is anyway.
Just look at those women who sold stories on Hugh Heffner and how crap he is in bed. He must be around the 900 mark.
Someone who is in the 900s isn't doing it because they just happen to enjoy sex methinks. I think your friend should avoid this man like the plague.

Looking at the figures and taking age and relationships - works out at just less than one a week over twenty years. (Approx). He may have just got very lucky every week when he went out. Don't see it as a problem really, if he has a track record of being faithful!

900 women!
My god he HAS been busy, I would run a mile in her shoes....

I know that is what I said to her Raymond but could be what Purple said too. Apparently he is a good guy.

If he told her before they'd even had a date I would be put off. Why did he feel the need to tell her?

Well they know each other from an online chatroom for some years now and I guess just talked a lot through the night. These things came up.

By PurpleGirly's calculation I'd say your friend needs to decide if she wants a relationship or just sex, because it doesn't seem like he could have Spent much time in meaningfull relationships so far.

I will send her this thread as a link and see what she says. I do not think she will not date him she wondered if sleeping with that many was really odd.

Just one point from me. Her choice if she goes ahead with it but knowing his slept with 900 women gross I would recommend she makes him have updated STI tests before she sleeps with him. Telling her he is ok is one thing but seeing the written updated medical proof is another..

900 - dear god... I would have run quicker than the wind at that revelation!

And I wouldn't trust that he is STI free just because he says so.

900!! So he's kept count?? That in itself would put me off. Yuck!!

Yes, keeping count to that extent says either 'wanker' or 'liar' to me. Neither is appealing.

What Dahlen says. It depends on the person.

But 900 ?!

Doesn't he have a job? Is his name Barney Stinson? only funny if you watch How I Met

He has had 20 years of faithful relationships if what he has told her is true ... Maybe he sowed his wild oats first and let off steam after!!! With a break from it for his five year relationship. I think she should give him a chance!

Well they know each other from an online chatroom for some years now and I guess just talked a lot through the night. These things came up.

Something certainly came up in his case!

Dahlen lol

I think I would mind purely on my reaction to this thread. As I was reading I had the number 100 in my mind, but when I read it was actually 900 my reaction was run a mile.

Has he kept count over all those years? That's creepy in itself.

I was up all last night chatting about this on Yahoo! messenger with her.

It wouldn't bother me at all.
What would bother me though is that he feels the need to tell "dates" that. Sounds like an insecure person to me.

Patosshades. Agree with your creepy point!

900 is not 'sowing a few wild oats'

900 is ploughing several fields, reaping the harvest and then making porridge!
