A friend of mine told me recently that she had made a list of every guy that she had ever hooked up with. But she hadn't just made a list... she had keyed it, color-coding it by the amount that she had done with each guy (i.e. the base that each had gotten to). This sounded like a pretty interesting idea, so I tried it myself, and asked a few of my friends to do the same.
However, after looking at everyone's list, I noticed a sort of disturbing trend:
Not one of us had managed to remember everyone's name. I'm serious. I asked about six or seven people about this, and did one myself. Everyone that I asked was either 19 or 20 years old, and the total numbers ranged from as low as 10 names on the list to as high as 38. However,
every single one of the lists had names like "that guy from the club," "some girl at a mixer," "Rando #2," or something like that.
I'm kind of curious to see if it's just us, but I don't think that it is. I mean, every person that I asked was entering junior year in college, but in general, the people that I asked were
far from "slutty," so to speak. To prove or disprove my theory, I'm asking you guys and girls to try and make your own list. To qualify for a spot on your list, you have to at least made out with the person, the conventional "first base." This does include tongue (pecks don't count). In addition, same-sex kisses do indeed count. I'm encouraging you guys to actually write or type it out, because at least in all of our cases, it helped us to remember everyone.
Are you having trouble remembering everybody's name too, or are my group of friends and I just ridiculous?

LOLOLOL - omg you whores!
i've made the list before and i had a few names i couldn't remember.. like that one carny guy
Ouch. I can count and name them all :P
I can remember the names of the ones I can remember doing anything with. I just dont know if I omitted anyone.
LOL.
I guess for me zero. I've never "hooked up" with a guy yet.
you guys are ridiculous and unecessarily enthusiastic, if not obsessed, to have made a color coded list of people that don't matter to you in the same way anymore
ten was the lower limit? haha wow. i can remember the full names of everyone i've hooked up with.... drunk hookups are not my thing.
Wow. Thank god I'm a virgin. Lolz.
By hook up do you mean, randomly fucking someone or dating someone, or both?
I can name all of them.
one guy just make out
one guy everything.
i know both of their names. i'm 20. and going to be a JR in college...
i just refuse to do any sort of random hooking up.
I'm not a slut so I tend to know who is in my bed.
@LibranPoetess@xanga - hook up can be anything from making out to sex.. in my opinion. which would be apart of dating, no?
One person. I know their name.
LOL considering I can count the number of guys I've kissed on one hand......
...
...
yeah, I know all their names. First and last, bitches.
I had trouble remembering one guy's name at the time! That was the only reason I didn't have sex with him. Oddly enough, I remember it better now.
It's not just your generation, only if you try to create that list once you're in your 50s (both age & partners), it will be mostly random # 1, random #2, and on and on. There's still a few with names attached, but not that many...
Why I love mancoach more than datingish!
Meh I've had sex with one guy and kissed two guys. I've dated two guys, so that makes sense...
I'm a sophomore undergrad.
@LibranPoetess@xanga - Fucking. :]
@aiinos@xanga - sameee!
I remember everyone and actually took them off my list if they weren't good. Its a good way to keep numbers down.
I can remember everyone. Seeing as it hasn't been that much. But I'm good with names and faces.
Lauren (my ex-tongue kiss/made out), Natalie (tongue kiss/made out/2nd bass), girl from New Years party (tongue kiss). I'm a second year medical student.
"I don't hook up"??
Ha, I've only kissed my boyfriend
Haha. That's actually kind of sad.
