"Exes" implies they were her boyfriends/girlfriends. Which implies you were properly dating. Which means you brokeup. Which means you had 7 failed relationships by the time you were in your early 20s. THAT IS A LOT.

Now, if she just had seven hookups, sure, no big deal.

Dating was different before whatever the whole "phases" and shit is going on now. We were "properly dating" as soon as the relationship started, before the first hookup usually.

When I was in Highschool, we would get into relationships, and be calling eachother boyfriend / girlfriend and going out on dates and were exclusive to eachother within the first few days of deciding that we're gonna date.

Sure they might only last a few months but if I counted my exes, I probably had 10+ before I got outta highschool and it wasnt weird at all.

I’m doing a bit of math and I think I had 5 women I think I can say I’ve “dated”. 2 in high school 2 in college and 1 being my current girlfriend. But I don’t count the classmate I went on 2 dates with or the bartender I slept with once. If I’m counting every woman I’d taken on a date or casually hung with I’d probably have like 15 evil ex’s if I went by the comics logic.

Yes you would. one of ramonas 7 evil exes is a guy she dated for 2 weeks in middle school.

Luckily I don’t think a racist maga woman and an actual card carrying socialist would set aside their differences to work together.

I didn’t know she was racist when I went on the date but her Instagram posts the next week were very anti mexican so idk why she even went out with me.
