Is that your experience too?

Heh heh heh.  Such a kidder, you.   

S'true, most of the time.  Then there's guys like me, who could go to their graves without another woman and still finish ahead of everyone but Mick Jagger, Gene Simmons, and Wilt Chamberlain . . . 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If you were to read Bill Wyman's autobiography he may be ahead of Mick Jagger. Of course he was a bit of a pedophile being in a relationship with a 17 year old girl when he was in his mid 50's. He said he never consumated the relationship until the girl turned 18. What a decent guy he is.

I posted elsewhere about the study that the US Air Force doctor had done with regard to woman who had claimed sexual assault. He found that a full 60% had lied about it for whatever reason or whatever they hoped to gain from those claims.

Women will only tell you what they think you need to know or they will modify their recollection of the events to suit their need. How can any of you think that you will get a full and honest disclosure from your lady? It will not happen so why bother and why does it make a difference anyway? Unless she is still married, has a huge and looming debt that you will now become responsible for, has a warrant out for her arrest...then her past relationships do not matter to you, nor does yours to her.

With regard to debt. How many of you lads have met an American woman who was not already strapped with a major credit card debt that you will gladly assume for her once you are married to her? It happens often enough for us to remark about. I hear how expensive it is to meet and marry a foreign woman. At least they do not bring credit card debt with them.

Honesty is absolute but unless there are detrimental past occurances hidden in her past then the past is just that, in my mind. I have nothing to tell about my past of any significance and see no reason to discuss it with her.

At my age and single for a long time if the true answer was 2 or 3 and I was a woman that would scare me.

Yeah, that's basically my deal there . . . not so much bragging, although Wiz's youth and my own seem to have had a bit in common.  It's just that my marriage was very short-lived, and only spanned my late 20's to early 30's . . . so I've spent, basically, 25 of my 30 adult years single.  

You never realize how it's adding up until it starts to scare people, lol.

Heh . . . realistically, ANY rock star or NBA player's probably edging me out, lol.  I just picked the better known and more bragadocious names.  

Bonar.  Texas Bonar. Bonar Boy.

Very funny!

"She told me that I can ask the question I want and she has nothing to hide. She asked me about my divorce and how is my ex, I do the same and answers were open and honests."

With respect to the second party . . . . you have no way of knowing that her answers were honest.

I made this mistake once . . . with an AW.

It was the "how many?" conversation.  I mentally divided by 2, lol, gave what I thought was a reasonable answer for someone who, after all, had been at that point single for 12 of the past 17 years, been in the service, and gone to high school in the 70's.

It still turned out to a rather large multiple of her answer.  And pretty much a deal-breaker.  I'm not intentionally dishonest, but I've tended to be a bit vague about such things ever since.

Yes, I agree.  Big problems lie directly ahead for any man who gives answers to the 'how many' question.

Through several talks about past relationships, a couple of gals I have been with have 'deducted' that I had previously been intimate with X gals.

They thought that X was way too many.

But truth was the actual number was something like 20X.  It would have blown their minds to know of this actual number.

I think most of these gals would like to think that you only had previous sex with your wife and maybe one other girlfriend.  It would also help if you rode a white horse.

"Heh, one girl answered to her boyfriends question, how many males she was with: "Shall I count females too?" "

I didn't actually ask a gal about 'how many,' but during a conversation one RW told me that she had previously been with 'little men.'  For a split second I was picturing midgets and dwarfs . . . . until her true meaning dawned on me.

The funniest scene in a movie regarding number of sexual partners has to be Angela Jolie and Brad Pitt in "Mr & Mrs Smith"  He answers something like 27 and she reluctently answers 436!  But she says some were two or three at as time!
