I last went to a strip club when I was 21.

I've never been to a prostitute.

Why? Do you want to make sure your acceptable number is the same as the average acceptable number?


I'd like to know if my acceptable number is me being unrealistic. I don't even know if most men would be honest. I think 5 or less would be acceptable (preferably less).

under 10 partners in a lifetime is assoc. with a lower risk of STD's.

I've had about 30-35 partners in my life--about 25-30 of them before age 30. Never had an STD (fortunately).

Casanova probably didn't have that much before 30.

Another deal breaker I have might be if I ran into someone and he thought it's okay for parents to be abused by their child because he doesn't think they should be hospitalized and thinks its lazy parenting. Uh no thank you, if we have a kid together and that kid turns out to be violent, I am not having a unsafe life in my home and endangering my other kids because our kid has ODD or a conduct disorder or anger issues or something or they have that rare autism that just makes them attack you for no reason because they get told no or because of a change in their routine or a change in plans lets say or their "meltdowns" make them attack you so they look for you and attack you so you have to lock yourself in your room and they pound on the door because they couldn't kick your ass.


Believes all abortions are wrong so that means if you have a unsafe pregnancy, you must die then. No thank you.

Still married after 22 years, but back in the day the deal BREAKERS, not makers, were
1. Smokes.
2. Dumbass.

Some (divorced and later turned widow) woman that used to live around the corner from our house would send her kids to summer camp for the whole summer, I just couldn't fathom that, but I don't know how one would detect an attitude like that while dating.

I try to not be so judgmental but maybe the mom always went off to summer cap every summer so it's the way she did it with her kids and didn't know any different because it's what her family had always done.

Her kids loved going off to summer camp all summer

And the worst one I can assume is she hated being a mom and didn't like to be a parent and always having to take care of them so she sent them off so she wouldn't have to deal with them.

most men seem to go. bunch tried to get me go a bunch of times.
I don't find it romantic and i want stuff like seeing a woman nude in person to be romantic. I also don't like the idea of some strange woman touching me. also its loud in there at-least in movies.

Never been to a strip club, and not to a prostitute either. Have only had sex with one person. I've had 2-6 partners depending on what counts as partners.

There are a lot of important things you cannot detect with dating, which is why it is such an ineffective method.

It's not uncommon in the US for kids to go off to summer camp. It doesn't indicate anything about how much the parent "hates being a parent" -- that's ridiculous.

Some send their kids because the kids want to go, to try it or because they already enjoy it. Some send them because the parents can't get the time off work to mind the kids during summer break -- in the US many jobs offer horrendously little paid (or even unpaid) leave or vacation time, and parents are in a bind for childminding during the long summer break.

Just because some woman's kids go to summer camp it doesn't say something automatically horrible about that woman. Jeez.

If he breaks my things, he's out the door no matter what. In my experience that's just the tip of the iceberg. There is hostility underneath. Consciously or not, he likes to see me sad. Out with him. Now.

Or he's just clumsy.

But what if it was a meltdown? :wink:
