>What I wanted to say is, after what I heared from my partners about men they dated, I totally understand these results.

Ex-partners are not exactly a reliable source of "the whole truth" even before we consider the content of the article.

Edit: current partners are probably not the best source either, ask your local marriage counselor if you don't believe me.

True.

Thing is, they already talk about these men before they are exes.

I get the whole story, from first meeting to breakup.

Getting one side of the story is not getting the whole story.

I know, most of the time the side I was getting was the side of the story my male friends told me.

But for the last 5-10 years I also got the side of my female partners.

Sometimes even both sides in parallel, because my partners would date my friends.

OK so you have no more information than anyone else? We all have friends who talk about relationships and its all anecdata. Not to mention you have a very specific group of open and non-standard people which could give a very different selection of behaviors than the normal population.

And?

Your fun little hippie commune doesn't extrapolate very well to society at large.

That's not very charitable.
