Dating is 1 of 2 places where suddenly the past is the past and doesn't matter. It makes sense why women are more religious. As that's the 2nd place.

Not really. Long as she wasn't getting gangbanged and shyt like that then it's whatever. Getting gang banged means she's too freaked out for me.

In the total sense, absolutely. Your past experiences greatly inform your mindset and mold you into who you are. No one meets anyone they’re serious about getting to know on any level and says “Tell me all about yourself, but exclude the past.” It’s asinine.

If we’re serious about getting to know one another, I need to know what your relationship is like with your family, I need to know if you’ve dealt with abusive relationships before, etc. This will help guide me in effective communication. It can also help me discern red flags.

If we’re talking body count, I’ve never asked a chick “how many guys did you sleep with before me?”. In terms of assessing her character, there are many things that are going to give me the decision-making data i need without asking that exact question.

You’ll never get the full truth anyway nor do I have time to sit decipher and decode the past. Meeting women at 30 plus best believe they’ve had some life experience good and bad.

Long as she wasn’t selling coochie, has a degree and we vibe I’ll ride it out. But I’m not going to be playing mental gymnastics with myself over her past.

Of course the past matters. Anything important that you do...school, job, major purchases, medical exam or procedure etc. the first thing you are asked to do is give info about your past. But as others have said, only so much is verifiable. You can only operate off the info you have. But if you really get into a person's character and values that will give you an idea of how they operated in the past. If a person is unwilling to get into their past or its unclear or inconsistent thats a definite red flag if we talking a serious relationship.

Past predicts the future........ cyclical

shyt is like a credit report........ you can choose to ignore it and roll the dice if you want and hope for the best outcome, but it dont change what is and what's likely to happen
