He’s imaginative.

Somewhere in between. Weird.

Sounds a wee bit sad to me, you’d be able to tell if he was proud about it when he showed you the book, (if he showed you the book) was he beaming from ear to ear?

That makes him a creep in my little black book.

This is what had me concerned. he did not smile, when he handed me his book. it was like a call for psychological help in the sex department. i wondered then and i wonder today as to how he has kept this from his wife.

Sick. Keeping score like that and then displaying it is despicable. Treating women like objects and then keeping records that could harm their reputations if made public. This bastard belongs in a cage somewhere.

Pathetic.

Dr Phil anyone?

I used to keep such a list. Then I just lost track.

It was more for just keeping track of things, it wasn’t a pride thing.

It is practical. It makes it easier to notify past partners when his diagnosis comes in.~

It sounds to me like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

His wife probably knows and is relieved it’s not her in that book ;)

I have often wondered if his wife already knew this, but just decided to look the other way? if so, how could a woman tolerate this? if she is still having sex with him, what about aids?

Not enough information to decide.

I think you are just asking for a knee-jerk reaction, and of course everyone will say they are disgusted. Perhaps jealousy; perhaps astonishment; perhaps a visceral shudder.

Life, of course, is not a game where you keep score. Men who consider women to be conquests must have some issues about their manhood. Who knows where that comes from, or what kind of issues those may be.

And who cares, anyway. Are you going to do anything about it? Tell him to get help? I doubt it.

@daloon Good grief Daloon…cut the man some slack..it was not his Black book! Maybe, he will mail you the man’s address and you can tell him to get some help!

I’m going to go with insecure.

TitsMcGhee's avatar

I keep a list too, but not to show off or brag about, just to remember and keep track. He’s probably a little insecure, a little proud, and a little addicted, considering he’s hiding it from his wife and whatnot.

mrentropy's avatar

I just put notches in my bed post.

Cotton101's avatar

@mrentropy did that too, but my bed fell apart!

StupidGirl's avatar

Insecure maybe?

Val123's avatar

Huh. Makes you wonder if he also wants to go around in a trench coat, showing off his package to everyone, whether they want to see it or not.
@Dog REALLY good answer.

Does it really make a difference?

boffin's avatar

….i looked at this book in amazement. page after page of girls names and dates…

Recognize anyone?

CyanoticWasp's avatar

@john65pennington, this really begs the question… What kind of rating does he give his wife?

If it’s three stars or more, then what’s her phone number? Someone should tell her… someone who would be there for her… and depending on the star-rating, I might be available to volunteer.

dpworkin's avatar

It prompts the question. Begging the question is a rhetorical fallacy, q.v.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

immaturity, insecurity, he’s not fulfilled.

Violet's avatar

That is very creepy.

mrentropy's avatar

Maybe he questions his own sexuality and keeps the book as “proof” that he’s straight.
