Men's statistics are a little different—the average guy has 10 sexual partners, six one-night stands, and gets stood up twice—but the point of the study is that most of us go through a lot before finding a relationship that's right.
According to their findings, the average person who identifies as a woman has seven sexual partners in her life, while a person who identifies as a man has around six. And while you might think this is a little low — after all, a lifetime is a long time — apparently these numbers are "ideal" for many in the US.
The study also revealed that men will have six relationships - two of which will last more than a year, while women will have five.

As noted, a high body count indicates that someone has had a lot of sexual partners. It could mean they are less likely to be monogamous, which is not good for a relationship. Additionally, someone with a high body count may be more likely to have STDs, which would not be good for your health.

A study done by Superdrug found that for men and women the ideal number of partners is around 7.5. Above 14 or 15 was too many and below 2 or 3 was too low.
If a couple goes on one date a week, that's anywhere from 10 to 12 dates before they establish exclusivity, according to the survey. Say, schedules allow a couple to see each other more than once a week, that means it could even take 24 dates before exclusivity.
Most couples date for two or more years before getting engaged, with many dating anywhere from two to five years. Once the question is popped, the average length of engagement is between 12 and 18 months.
