On Valentines Day, YouGov had its three daily questions focus on love and relationships and such.
The first question was, "Throughout your life, how many people have you been in love with?" Here's how the percentages broke down when I took the survey:
- 0, 4%
- 1, 17%
- 2, 24%
- 3, 19%
- 4, 9%
- 5, 4%
- More than 5, 10%
60% of respondents said either 1, 2, or 3 partners. One factor I think in play is the first person you love and how breaking up with them makes you more rigorous in falling in love after the first person broke your heart. That's why I checked 2.
As for these "more than 5" people, I think they need to be more rigorous with their loving.
This week I finished rewatching all six seasons of Northern Exposure, which is now available on Amazon Prime. It's my favorite TV show of all time. At the end of every episode, you have a good feeling at the end--except of course the final episode when I was sad the series was over.
The show was way ahead of its time. From my knowledge, the series has to be one of the first to have an openly gay couple in it. And the show started questioning Maurice's sexuality from the second episode after he gets mad at Chris for bringing up Walt Whitman's homosexuality.
One of my favorite episodes is the one in which Maurice has a fancy dinner party for the 25th anniversary of his radio station, the one titled "The Big Feast." Ron, one of the gay men in the series, raises a toast to Maurice by saying, "You're a bigot and a homophobe."
