I am an average man in a world of sciency-types.

I could look at statistics, but I do look at actual real people in life. They’re taller. I’m telling you.

You gotta believe me!

Maybe you’re just shrinking because of old age?

Maybe you’re just shrinking because of old age?

Oh! Oh!

So rude!

 

[Endless_Night]

You’d probably get more useful statistics if you broke out average height by race, ethnicity, and economic groups. America has changed a lot in the last 40 years. Anyone non-white was definitely under represented in older statistics.

This is an excellent point. *nods*

The white middle class was the yardstick for everything for, oh, a few centuries.

Those darn statistics. They can be made to say anything.

Congee.

 

[Endless_Night]

The inter webs says the average number of sexual partners is 4-8.

With women averaging 4.3 and men 6.3.

Is it just me, or do these numbers seem crazy low?

I know Millennials are less sexually active than other generations, at least in partner variety, and they are a large group, with a 20+ share of the population, but . . . still.

Congee.

I’m interested to have congee some day.

The inter webs says the average number of sexual partners is 4-8.

On a numbers kick lately?

With women averaging 4.3 and men 6.3.

Seems backwards. Considering the supply/demand situation

Is it just me, or do these numbers seem crazy low?

Yes, but…

Averages over a heterogeneous large population are practically meaningless. They’re great for news stories and social media, but really they don’t tell you anything useful.

Lots of people still partner up young and stay together. Even if you toss in a midlife crisis or two that’s still a small number of sexual partners.

I assume they mean at a time!

Seems way low to me too

Oh, really? And what exactly is your usual number, Muscles?

 

[hotwords229_A]

Real or imaginary?

 

[Endless_Night]

Movies as of late:

Thankskilling (2008) - I tried. Really I did. But the possessed killer turkey on a 3,500 budget was more than even I could handle. I made a whole ten minutes. Maybe fifteen.

Unearthed (2007) - So much excitement when there was talk of a polygenic dye designed to attach to and identify DNA from samples, identifying which kingdom with a different assigned color!

Naturally I looked this miracle up.

Nope. Still the same old labor-intensive extraction, amplification, sequencing, and analysis.

I mean, maybe it's not entirely reasonable to expect cutting edge scientific techniques in a B sci-fi (okay, maybe C sci-fi) but . . . for some reason I am just so disappointed!

 

[Endless_Night]

Real or imaginary?

I think that was kinda my point.

But now I'm not sure.

 

[Apisto42]

Oh, really? And what exactly is your usual number, Muscles?

Pick a number, double it, add 15% and we’ll start there.

 

[LadyLascivious1]

Pick a number, double it, add 15% and we’ll start there.

I’m left wondering what 30% of a person looks like in this scenario. Two women plus a real doll torso is the least horrific scenario I can come up with.

This reminds me of a hilariously wrong conversation I’ve had with @Lord Pmann

 

[LadyLascivious1]

Or two women plus a Sybian! That’s even better

 

[Apisto42]

Or two women plus a Sybian! That’s even better

I fail to see how this is better when you didn’t include me?

 

[Endless_Night]

Whoa.

This conversation took a weird and disturbing turn.

Speaking of, I think I came across some of his relatives last week while traveling.

As one does, I found self on an escalator behind this middle-age couple.

They both had on the most pristine all white tennis shoes!!!


One the strength of this encounter, I had the white sidewalls of my dusky pink tennies cleaned while waiting for my flight.

I couldn't help myself.

The smudges just positively glared at me.

 

[Endless_Night]

Wow. Has anyone seen Last Night in Soho (2021)?

I watched with no briefing and had no idea it was a sort of physiological horror cum vaguely dark comedy horror. The sharp turn took me completely by surprise.

But.

Brilliant! It was so well done!

Yes, I enjoyed it a lot. Edgar Wright (director) has a pretty great track record!

Deadly Instincts (1977)

(aka Breeders)

This one is for you @hotwords229_A. Not quite a slasher flick, but I figure alien-crashes-at-all-girl-college is pretty close. There's plenty of gratuitous nudity and even . . . ovipositation.

I’ve not heard of this one, but I see the potential.

You took that ovipositor thing like a gent.

Well done!

Looking it up there seems to be two movies:
Breeders 1986 and then remake Deadly Instincts 1997.
It looks like Breeders is the more “nude” of the two, curious which you watched.
