    girls tend to use guy's past against them in future arguments hence another reason why guys don't tell all.

    wouldn't you be tempted to say? "i don't know, you did it before - how can I be so sure now?"

    Yea well if he tells and I'm unhappy with it and he's unhappy with me being unhappy about it, then he can always initiate the break up. I'll just have to consider myself VERY VERY unlucky for having wasted my time and energy, but hey, at least it'll be before marriage so that's a bonus.

    But like I said, in reality, guys are likely selfish and dishonest about this type of thing. Okay scratch that, I'm being sexist...PEOPLE are generally dishonest about this type of thing, males or females.

    Yeah, I really hate the stalker type. Unfortunately some people are habitual stalkers; they'll stalk every partner they ever meet. As soon as that happens, you know they're in a problematic relationship (whether the problem is them, the partner, or both).

    Personally, I just wouldn't wanna date anyone who used to be involved in an adulterous relationship period.
    Yeah, I understand why you feel that way; however, I've seen good people make mistakes and truly repent and learn from their mistake. I actually think that makes them a better person (having learned from experience, that is) than someone who's not had that experience. If my partner tells me about a past mistake, I'd want to see evidence that she's changed and became better/wiser because of that. As long as I can see that in her actions, I'm happy.

    Nah, I was referring to a girl I'm in a serious relationship with. I would not get into a serious relationship with a girl I don't see a future with, and after a year or so, if I still can't see the potentials, I will stop wasting her and my time.

    I don't date chicks I just want to pork. I just hang out with them and take them home when we're in the mood. Save money & time, plus I'm not giving them any false promise.

    Yeah that guy calls himself Trien Chieu. Good luck.

    When did you become a feminist, pandy? I didn't get the memo.

    My dear pandy, I'm a certified scumbag and I'm lying to you.

    Btw I also agree with what PJ said earlier about the partner willingly telling stories about his/her past during intimate moments. That's cool and how it should be.

    Its straightforward.

    "Don't ask. Don't tell."

    If your BF/GF wants to tell you about their past relationship, fine.

    If they have something enormous big in the past such as they have a kid, or a previous marriage or being wanted by the police in 3 countries, you would have expected them to tell you.

    If they have previous 10 BF/GF before you is no biggie, imho.

    yeah i still think all men are scums, however, i need these germs in my life. they keep me from getting really "sick" =)

    intimate usually means sex. i haven't dated a guy that's willing to cuddle up but not have sex eventually. it's like the foreplay that does nothing for a girl.

    Relax. Tongue-in-cheek.

    You need to be really suspicious of a guy that just cuddles a girl without thinking of rounding off the bases.

    Yes - I agree but then again, aren't all guys like that?

    No need for suspicion. Dude's gay or seriously sexually repressed if he doesn't even think about it.

    I don't know about the men necessarily being smart. I do think some women are really, really dumb when it comes to relationship choices.

    Ah, this evokes the classic Taiwanese TV series -- "Between Water and Cloud" 《水云间》. The first 10+ episodes were intensely centered around the poor dude's quest to pursue a rich girl; then, just when he finally convinced the snobbish parents to let them get engaged, suddenly his wife and daughter show up looking for him. He literally said to the fiance "sorry, I totally forgot about them" !!! That was such a WTF twist.

    I know, Ren, but women tend to miss tongue-in-cheek comments so I had to clarify.

    Nah my dear you've only had the fake scums, never the real thing.

    intimate usually means sex. i haven't dated a guy that's willing to cuddle up but not have sex eventually. it's like the foreplay that does nothing for a girl.
    See what they've done to sexuality in modern time? It's all about sex. Intimate moments are more than just that! No I'm not talking about cuddling up. There's no imagination and true sexuality these days.

    Not true. It appears so only because women who call themselves smart aren't actually smart, and women who are called dumb by other women aren't actually dumb.

It usually happens naturally after we become very comfortable with each other, and that can take time. There have been times when they did want to keep certain details to themselves, and I'm ok with that - agree with Candide about respecting their privacy and would like to give them the space they need in a relationship.

    On a related note, for this reason I personally do not like dating a stranger. I prefer to date friends with whom I've come to know and trust; this makes things both safer and smoother. People tend to disclose their secrets to whoever they feel comfortable with, and most of the time a good friend feels less intimidating than a potential mate, so as a friend you can get the inside scoops to their past even before you start dating which can help you decide if you want to pursue them. Besides, if you can't be good friends then it'll be hard to be good (serious) lovers; "being friends first" gets you through this important hurdle right off the bat.
    I very much agree with this.

    Come to think about it, neither myself nor my boyfriend actually literally asked each other about our past. We just told each other our past relationships.
