Your worth is not measured in the number of sweeties you're seeing.

Your worth is measured in how well you treat the sweetie(s) you're seeing.

Lots. The most common case of this is the distinction between zero and one sweetie, but there are certainly notch-on-the-bedpost types out there. (There are also people who are genuinely happier with a specific number of partners higher than one, for whatever reasons--a friend who refers to herself as "bi-something-or-other-al" comes to mind--but don't measure their self-worth by whether they have that number of partners.)
