apparently I need to dye my hair grey, start using msn, and go commando.

I think it's even more strongly correlated with saying "yes".

Whether that's on msn or something else is probably less important.

Also, I think they gray hair thing is being confused with older people having had more time to meet sex partners.

However, you should probably try going commando just to be sure.

I was being facetious--msn sucks, and I'm pretty sure the grey hair is a classic example of correlation not equaling causation in statistics. But it's funnier to talk about the article this way. : P

I love how the 5 most promiscuous cities are 4 places along the California coast, and then Mobile, Alabama. Even better is how Cupertino is in the least promiscuous 5 along with 4 predictable places like Provo, Utah!

Also interesting that country music is the genre with the most promiscuous fans-- I guess those honky-tonk songs are serious.

You know, if your goal is to raise your number of partners, that shouldn't be so hard in this city, though somehow I think lack of action options is not what you're missing.

ok, realistically if I wanted to up my # of partners, all I have to do is lower my standards...
