they will have been in 7 relationships. Of those 2 are often long term relationships, while the rest are a series of short term flings, casual dating and one night stands. The average person will fall in love 2 of those times.
end quote from the beginning of Season 1 episode 1 of "Love Life" on HBO Max.
I was listening to Jessica Williams talking to Jimmy Kimmel on ABC because I had DVRed it on Tuesday November 9th and just hadn't watched it yet. I tuned in mostly because I couldn't remember who Jessica Williams was and was happily surprised that she was the comedian on the Daily Show when Jon Steward was hosting it. And I always loved her humor and it was great. Last Night I found out she was originally from LA where I was raised to in Glendale in the 1950s and 1960s (me). She spoke about a series on HBO Max she is on called Love Life that also stars Anna Kedrick and other stars.
However, I grew up in a completely different era where I started dating at age 15 in 1963 so I dated a whole lot more people than people tend to today I guess before I married the first time. But, this is the way things were in the late 1960s and 1970s also. So, I dated a lot from 1963 until I got married, especially if you lived in Los Angeles in Glendale near Hollywood then. However, I noticed then that men who had dated over 100 girls were not successful in marriages simply because they had just been too spoiled by so many women in their lives and couldn't settle down because they were used to too much attention. Because when your children come you don't get ANY attention at all from your wife (at least for the first 1 to 5 years of your children's lives. If you do then your children don't successfully survive to be 5 years old.
So, learning to sacrifice for your children at least the first 5 years of each of their lives is how marriages survive and how children survive to actually grow up and become successful adults too. Otherwise, they don't.
