Yes, plus the 5% getting 10+ dates per year

That graph doesn't say first dates. It's just people dating the same person a lot. Even if it was first dates, that doesn't mean much.

I'd advise you to think about what these things mean, rather than draw wrong conclusions from propaganda.

I'd prefer that you keep your advices for yourself. It seems the american "date" has a different cultural meaning than in other parts of the world where it doesn't exist as such. If you go to Europe and say you "date" 10+ times the same person in a year, you'd be considered as someone desperate. Dating in Europe just refers to the first encounter.
