I don't encourage my friends (male/female) to date people whose sexual history is exponentially bigger than theirs. I say stick to people that appeal to your sensibilities. If you can't even look at her right, you can't respect her. If you don't respect her, it's not fair - to the both of you. Find someone more like you, that's all I can say.

WTF!

That's like a whopping....*gasp* 6 people per year.

1st date, kissing
2nd date, petting
3rd date, sex
4-8th date realize the guy is a loser and bad in the sack to boot. Then move on to the next.

12 in 2 years is TOTALLY normal. 12 in 3 months = cause for concern. But two freakin' years???? Here's a news flash for ATOT, women like sex....ALOT.

Spidey, not everyone dates like that.

In fact, if I knew a girl like that, i wouldn't be able to respect her enough to consider her for a long term relationship.

What exactly are women to you? Sperm Recipient?

It just means that she has a bit of experience then...stop thinking of the past and start thinking of the fun you could have with her.

I am curious though... seriously... why do you care? Are you worried about what other ppl might think? Are you afraid that she will compare you to them and you will not be the best? Would you feel different if it was a guy who was with 12 in 2 years? Seriously... why does it bother you.

As long as she is monogamous with you... isnt that all that matters?

Why do people care? Because actions speak louder than words and a person's past DOES influence who they are and says much about their character.

You're right, actions do speak louder then words. I judge people on who they are today, not what they were.

STDs don't disappear just because someone chooses to ignore the past. Anyone that has been with that many people has a very high chance of carrying some form of herpes.

She's kind of avoiding me it seems too... Thing is, I really like this girl and I've hit it off better with her than with anyone in my life.

I don't know what to do... my heart feels like it's been ripped out. I doubt I could find someone with a better personality but at the same time, I don't know if I can even look at her the same way anymore.


WTF how can you feel that your heart has been ripped out after only going out with her for a couple weeks??? So she has sex with people, you should too. You're the one that should be bragging about your sexual conquests and making the girl feel bad not the other way around. I swear, all these YAGT's really reinforce all those stereotypes of geeks and women.

Yeah, God forbid you actually have morals.

morals are just excuses

Wow....that's deep. Are you quoting Aristotle? :roll:

DATE DATE DATE!!!!!!! Everyone that posts YAGT's please just DATE, do not have girlfriends because if you have to get advice from geeks on the internet all day, you certainly are not ready for a girlfriend.

I'm sorry that you're that insecure about yourself. Really I am. I hope you one day discover that women aren't objects and hopefully can find someone respectable enough to settle down with that won't leave you when she's sick of your d*ck.

The man is right. Every YAGT on here is about "getting the girl." Some of you need to sit back and date, instead of going all in.

If this person had sex with numerous partners and didn't contract a STD, is her past clean then? You can get an STD from being with one person. Is that person that was with only one partner and contracted the STD better then the person that was with multiple people and didn't contract a STD?

It's in the past, so accept it or move on.

Why do people care? Because actions speak louder than words and a person's past DOES influence who they are and says much about their character.

When you say character, do you mean a particular definition of what character should be?

People are different... they think different things are ok. some ppl want to remain chaste until marriage. Other ppl think that whatever goes on between two consenting adults is fine, as long as no one is getting hurt.

It is up to each person to decide what is considered moral and good character, then endeavor to live by it. I dont think it is right for anyone to impose their definitions of moral and good character, where sex is concerned, on anyone outside their household.

If the OP thinks that 12 in 2 years is too much, then he needs to be with someone else. that does not make this girl horrible, it just makes her incompatible for the OP.

Personally, i think 12 in 2 years is a lot. However, if she is happy with it ...

You're right, actions do speak louder then words. I judge people on who they are today, not what they were.

I find people who say that so pathetic. It's so hypocritical because you know they still judge plenty of people. It's so obviously a cry for absolution for themselves. What is considered the past? Two days? Two years? You see, people's actions and words, which are by definition always in the past, are all we have to judge them by. Whatever makes people do good or bad things or smart or stupid things is usually caused by a deep-seeded characteristic that will, over the course of their life, manifest itself innumerable times.

So save the inane self-righteous bumper sticker motto that we all know you don't really believe. Kthx.

I understand. Just trying to tell it how it is. So many YAGT tip-toe around a guy beating himself up over nothing. Just trying to help others learn the game, that's all.

Upon hearing such a blathering by the girl OP should have just brushed it off with a "yeah, but it's mine now."

I'd be more worried about catching STDs like Herpes or Genital warts... better play it safe and dump her.

If you feel better, then you've made the right decision. if you are still pondering it, then keep up the flava.

would you think differently if it were a guy telling you he had sex with 12 girls in 2 years time?

No I wouldn't. The difference is, though, that I'm not going to be getting with the dude...

well yeh, but i was pointing out the double standard which most people wouldn't deny.


bright side is... plan on getting lucky soon if you stay with her.

Mosh can always bring out the bright side of life :beer:

I've been with 12 girls in the past 4 years. I have no STD's (recently checked) and I'm never out looking to score all the time (AKA be a whore).

Don't think too hard about it, man. Stuff happens, but it's the attitude that ultimately decides whether a girl is a whore or not.

short of AIDs, there's a cure (antibiotics) for most STDs. Just wrap it and go for #13.

Jesus, it isn't that abnormal. If you like her, date her. If you don't, dump her.

I'd be much more interested in whether she's cheated on someone before than how many people she's slept with.
