The character is not neutral about the discrepancy in numbers because there’s a discrepancy in numbers. I’d be a bit bothered if my SO lied to me about things too, especially such a large discrepancy that its obvious they’re lying vs were accidentally wrong/forgot.
“honey you said you bought 1 car, why are there 5 new cars in the driveway?” Of course they’ll be made about the discrepancy in number of cars because its not the agreed upon number.
Tell me how you would make the joke with 0 other people slept with?
It obviously isn’t cut and dry, most people are fine with the joke.
Right because it’s irresponsible to buy 5 cars. It’s not that 5!=1 that’s the value judgement. Yes most people are fine with the joke. I wasn’t claiming they weren’t.

Agreed lol
