A Dating Quiz: Are You a Sexpert or a Lame Flirt?

flirtatious 2

The following is a guest post quiz from Eric Leech of datingwebsites.org.

Statistics from dating websites suggest that sex is really not that important. In fact, people in happy, sexual, dating relationships report that sex makes up only 10 percent of their partnership. This may not seem like much until you realize that sleep takes up 33 percent of your life, and work another 33 percent. And these are only the happy relationships. Once a couple’s ability to satisfy each other starts dipping in the red, the importance of sex jumps to 80 percent. This means that if you are not up to par between the sheets, your dating success rate could suffer drastically. What you know about sex could one day save your relationship. Let’s find out how much you really know.

Dating Quiz Questions

a. Exercise regularly, which includes a regular program of sex

b. Take the vitamin, Saw Palmetto

c. Eat dark chocolate

d. Use any of the advertised growth pills on television

Survey Says:

  1. b- False. Surveys suggest that seventy percent of dating website’s members who earn over $60,000 have cheated on a partner at least once. Only 16 percent of men who make less than $5,000 cheat.
  2. c- More people lose their virginity in June than any other month. Try getting a plane ticket to the U.S. Virgin Islands during June, and you’ll seriously wonder if Saint Ursula and her 11,000 virgins are only a myth.
  3. a- True. There are more virgins today. However, we dare you to find one on a dating website… actually, we double dog dare you!
  4. c- Twenty percent of couples have engaged in sexual intercourse in a garden, which is why you should always wash your vegetables.
  5. b- False. Statistics suggest that 67 percent of men prefer women who shave, and the “Brazilian” (everything goes) bikini wax is the preferred method of hair removal.
  6. d- Not much is ever said about this fetish, but there is a good reason for that. Now that you know the name of this activity, we suggest you crumple it up, and throw it out of your memory bank.
  7. b- False. A man’s appendage has been shown to shrink during sporting events, especially while his team is victorious. This is why men will always be unattractive to women while watching a football game naked, with a beer in one hand, and a bowl of chili in the other.
  8. d- Studies suggest the phenyl ethylamine (PEA) in chocolate mimics falling in love, thus setting the mood. Tomatoes help calm pre-sex nerves and improve muscle control, and avocado boosts arousal, providing an intense orgasm due to its high vitamin E content.
  9. d- 11,000 Americans are driven to the hospital each year for attempting a bizarre sex act, and then hesitate to use their real name as they’re being signed in to see the doctor.
  10. a- There isn’t a lot a man can do to increase his size, without going through the medical procedure, known as Phalloplasty. However, according to research, the act of sex itself, which engorges his member with blood, could also boost size over time (we said, could).

He Said, She Said Debate: Ex Sex

Single Dad Small 4

JenB and I were having a debate.  The subject?  Ex-sex & remaining friends after a breakup.  Below are our differing perspectives on this hot topic.  Which do you agree with more?

He Said

I am of the mind that men are nearly incapable of being “just friends” after a breakup.  If they want to be friends there must be a reason.  Granted, the reason isn’t always devious – maybe you’re great at baking cupcakes (ahem) and they’d like to keep you around for that reason.  I made the assertion1x1.trans sex dating quizzes dating  He Said, She Said Debate: Ex Sex that most men, if provided the opportunity, would sleep with an ex without much hesitation, even if the relationship sex wasn’t the best.  Most women are presented with the opportunity for ex sex at some point.  You break up with your ex and yet, they still linger.  You get occasional text (or ‘sext’) messages from them out of the blue or maybe a drunk dial every now and with a random “hey, what’s up?” voice mail.  The messages miraculously stop when they start dating someone new (well, usually).  Do you think they’re still hanging around after the break up because they want to know what’s going on in your life or because of something else?

She Said

JenB seemed to give men more credit than I did.  She made the assertion that sometimes, especially after a long-term relationship, the feelings may have been present but it just wasn’t meant to be as a 1x1.trans sex dating quizzes dating  He Said, She Said Debate: Ex Sexlong-term relationship.  She herself has been in exclusively long-term relationships (>1 yr) and is friends with nearly all of her exes.  She said that very few of her ex’s have ever tried anything after their break up – that they were genuinely interested in being friends even after their relationship ended.  She denied the idea that, if presented with opportunity, most or all of them would gladly ‘hit it’ again, even if they haven’t shown signs to that effect.

Certainly, there can be exceptions to any rule – men can be friends just to be friends and women sometimes just want to get it on.  It happens.  But by and large, I don’t think men are friendly with ex’s simply because they enjoy their company or out of the goodness of their hearts.

What do you think?  How likely is it for either sex to remain ‘just friends’ after a break up?

On Body Type – ‘Average’

Post Thumb 438 1

Which definition of an ‘average’ body type most closely fits your idea of the term?

  1. It’s weight (or height/weight distribution).  Someone right in the middle of an overweight body and a thin body.
  2. It’s fitness level.  Someone right in the middle of an extremely fit body and an extremely unfit body.
  3. It’s statistical average.  Someone where 49% of the country weighs more and 49% weighs less.
  4. It’s something else entirely, such as…

A Dating Quiz – Am I a Tool?

Post Thumb 438 1

For your amusement, I have added a quiz to the end of chapter four.  All questions are based on real-life situations and involve people that actually turned out to be (total) tools.  Enjoy!

Am I a Dating Tool? A quiz.

We know you’re not a tool, so this quiz is just all in good fun.  Answer truthfully so we can confirm you’re not a tool.  Alternatively you can photocopy this, mail it to your ex and have them take it.  We really already know they’re a tool, so either way this is really just reinforcing the obvious.

  1. Let’s start simple.  Do you want children?
    1. Yes, I want them but don’t yet have any.
    2. Yes, I want them and already have one or more.
    3. No, I don’t want them and don’t yet have any.
    4. I’ve got one I’d sell ya cheap if you’re interested.
  2. Quick!  Your girlfriend just told you she’s pregnant and the baby is yours.  What do you do?
    1. Abortion!  The baby was an accident and there’s no way I’m taking care of it!
    2. Adoption!  I may not believe in abortion but there’s still no way I’m taking care of it!
    3. Keep it!  It’s not the baby’s fault I can’t keep my dick in my pants.  Let’s have it and try to make it work.
    4. Dump my girlfriend, confess to my on-going affair with an ex-girlfriend and then deny the baby is mine (insinuating she cheated as well).
  3. You’ve split up and your ex has decided to keep the baby against your suggestion.  How do you handle the situation?
    1. We may not be together but the child is still mine.  I’ll do the right thing and be a parent to my child.
    2. Keeping the baby was their choice not mine!  I’m outta here!
    3. I’d pop back into the child’s life every now and then.  Oh, and here’s five bucks for your birthday, kid.  Don’t say I never gave ya nothin’.
    4. The kid’s not mine, remember?  Oh, but I still think my ex is hot and I haven’t gotten laid in months so I’ll relentlessly try to talk them into having sex with me again.
  4. Your ex has moved on and is in a new relationship with someone.  What is your reaction?
    1. I wish them all the best in their relationship!
    2. Stalk them of course!  I’m the best they ever had and they know it.  They’ll come back around sooner or later.
    3. I’d do everything in my power to sabotage their relationship and then dump them a week after they came back to me.
    4. Both B and C sound good to me!
  5. You and your significant other’s parents haven’t yet been able to connect.  Your live-in mother-in-law is moving out of the house.  What is your role in her move?
    1. I’ll pitch in anywhere I can!
    2. I’m not doing a damn thing to help her.
    3. I’ll supervise to make sure she gets all of her shit out of my house.
    4. C as well as I’ll be there to throw out anything she can’t fit in her car.  Hey, a deadline is a deadline, “mom”!
