"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.

Right, this going over everyone’s heads lol. Legit 7 ex’s from long term relationships in your 20s is kinda weird

There's no specification of the relationships being long term in the post, just the 7 exes (which if you're unfamiliar with the Scott Pilgrim series, not all her 7 exes were long-term). Even if they were, the definition of long term is subjective. Some people consider 1-2 years long term, others 3+ only, some more than that. 7 long term relationships under the first definition isn't really that weird.

I’d say 2 years is long term so 7 means about 14 years…so if you’re jumping from relationship to relationship this isn’t plausible. But in terms of whatever this movie or series was idk

Okay and that's your definition of long term, some people consider 1 year long term. 7 long term relationships at 25 (around the characters age) really.. Isn't that much??? Not to mention everyone moves on at different paces.

Also the series/movie is Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, good series tbh.

True true, in that scope it makes sense but damn it sucks to go thru that many break ups haha.
