To give an anecdote supporting this, last Christmas my then-gf got me a digital camera and photo printer. I didn't quite catch the hint at first; she had to outright tell me she had bedroom plans for the gift. But then, before the camera got set up, it occurred to her to ask if I had ever done this before with anyone else. Boy do I wish I had that answer back! She clammed up right away, and we never took a single picture. Like you said, that mistake will only take me once to learn.Rollo Tomassi said:Iron Rule of Tomassi # 2
NEVER, under pain of death, honestly or dishonsetly reveal the number of women you've slept with or explain any detail of your sexual experiences with them to a current lover.
The single most disastrous AFC move a man can make is to OVERTLY describe past sexual experiences ... This is a rookie mistake that will only take you once to learn.

And if there is ANYTHING on earth a woman will lie about it's her sexual past. And the more "goody goody" she is, the more she's gonna lie to protect her image.
I like to enjoy my pixie dust and love muffins by remaining blissfully ignorant, thank you.
I'm going to have to try this one sometime for kicks. I think it will be hilarious, acting like a child. If she forces the issue, I'll keep doing it, if she really forces it, I'll go into my Wilt Chamberlain routine.STR8UP said:1) Never, EVER bring up this topic. No good can come of it.
2) If it DOES come up in conversation and she wants to talk about it, you stick a finger in each ear and go, "LALALALALALALALALALALA".
She will get the point.
That's because 90% of guys are AFCs (and that's a conservative estimate). Actually he's feeling that way because he's an AFC. This guy is a chump, for exactly the same reason anyone else here is thinking that women ought to have some mythical, virginic code to live up to in order to make her guy feel special. Guys, women ƒuck other guys than you, get over it. It's not a "mistake" she made in some fit of youthful indescretion, she met a guy who got her blood flowing and they ƒucked because she WANTED to. That doesn't make her a slut or a tramp, it just means she was hot for another guy she happened to meet before you entered the picture. Just like you (should've) banged plenty of women before her.joekerr31 said:this guy is not an AFC for how he is feeling. 90% of guys would feel the same way having their girl tell them about guys she's banged in the past.
I just came into this thread. You walked straight into the lion's den with this topic of convo. Jesus man.Blues said:Hi guys
I had a conversation with my gf's about our past relationships. We have been exclusive for a few months now. Shes 23yrs old and i'm 31. It was just suppose to be a casual talk about why we broke up with our exes.
One thing led to another and we were talking about our sexual partners. I know its taboo topic.
But she kind of volunteered to much info and it was hard hearing wht i heard.
Found out that she had a couple of flings when she was on an exchange program overseas last year with some foreigners.
Relationship wise she had a 37yr old bf when she was 19yrs old. But she broke it up cos she felt he wasn't giving her the security she wanted. And the second one was with someone in the same university as her.
According to her the flings were just purely physical and that was it. And she said that women need to satisfy their sexual urges as well. And with one of the flings, she only knew for 2weeks and they got physical. And the thing which bothered me was she had a bf back home but she said that the relationship was more or less over for them. I found this hard to swallow. To me that kind of constitutes cheating.
I was like 2 flings in a matter of a couple of months. Thats pretty fast. Her response was she was overseas, it felt like a holiday, emotions where high. So i told her its going to be a cause for worry if the next time shes wants to travel without me. She said that if shes serious about a guy, she wouldnt bother about anything else. Am i to feel comforted with her answer?
I just felt like **** after our convo and i felt a part of me died. Im no saint myself but its just very hard to hear things coming from a girl you have feelings for.
I told her honestly that its not easy for me hearing this and she understands how i feel. But we were all young and foolish once.
I find it even more puzzling cos she always tells me shes a sensible girl and she knows what shes doing.
She also told me that she's from an estranged family. Shes not close to her dad and her parents aren't really talking anymore. My previous ex also came from such a family background and it was a bad expericence. The best gfs i had were from familys that were close knitted and they were on very good terms with their fathers.
Should i try to forget this and move on? Or the red flags are just to glaring to be ignored?
Im pretty torn and confused. Shes good to me. She cooked for family a couple of times. Treats me to meals and gives me lots of affection.
It sucks to be me at this point in time.

Why are they 'mistakes'? Do men consider some of their own sexual encounters -namely one night stands or threesomes-mistakes?Latinoman said:She made those “mistakes” not that long ago.
Why is this behavior disgusting? If the woman is comfortable with her sexual self, why is it disgusting? Why is she labeled? I don't really see a problem here. Blues' gf is being a sexually healthy 23 yr old. If she hadn't had those experiences maybe she wouldn't be such a catch in the sack, eh?engage in very disgusting behavior (group sex or several one-night-stands)…
If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.

Ah ! The voice of reason once again !!joekerr31 said:im disappointed wiht the insight you guys are showing right now :trouble:
this guy is not an AFC for how he is feeling. 90% of guys would feel the same way having their girl tell them about guys she's banged in the past. heck, the number is probably more like 98% - no matter how tough guys may talk on here. if you care about a woman and she's telling you about guys who have stuck their meat in her, its going to piss you off. which is why you should never ask about that stuff.
but lets go into it a bit deeper.
the reason this phenomena happens, in my opinion, is simply.
you see, lets say you started dating a woman who use to be an escort. well, you've known that she's probably banged 1000s of guys. but it wouldn't bother you. you know why - because you know thats who she is. you know you are dating an ex escort and you know thats her past, sexually.
as a result, you DO NOT put her on a pedastle. you DO NOT think of her as mother teresa. you DO NOT build her up into some sweet little dough eyed bambi creature who just wants to run through the fields with you.
now, a regular woman? she lays down the groundwork on you. she presents herself as sugar and spice and everything nice. women know that this is what men want. she feeds your ego, making you think your the center of her universe - women KNOW that every guy loves that, and they serve it up on a silver platter.
this is when you start telling yourself 'she's not like other women.' that what the two of you share is 'special'.
then when she drops stories of how previous guys f*cked her its like life taking a sledge hammer to the 'fantasy' the two of you have created!
the real question in these situations is to ask yourself WHY she would do this? why she would tell you about these things?
from my experience they tend to do this for a variety of reasons...
1) they get comfortable in the relationship and slip up in the 'sugar and spice' persona they've been crafting.
2) they actually think it will make you jealous. its a manipulation tactic basically. they think if you know that other men wanted them, then you will want them more. they will often do this when they sense your IL decreasing.
3) they are looking to make a crack in the relationship. they are looking to wrap things up and move on, and they know planting this seed will lead to behaviors by the male that they can use to excuse them leaving.
4) they are looking to rattle you emotionally so that they can then control you better. remember, a man in control of his emotions is impervious to women's manipulation - they dont like that long term. so they want to find your buttons, they want to know how they can hurt you so that if they need to they can bully / hurt you in the future.
5) some women actually haven't had a lot of experience, or haven't been with a lot of men. sometimes they feel ashamed of this, as though they aren't desirable. they will sometimes bring stuff up as a way of maintain at least a basic impression that other men have wanted them (ie. validated them).
#2 seems to be the primary reason they will tell you about ex lovers, but 1,3 and 4 come in to play sometimes also.
now some of you might be saying 'oh come on. maybe she's just being open and honest. does everything have to have an alterior motive?"
in this scenario there is an alterior motive. listen, women are way more sensitive to whats 'appropriate' to disclose than men are. they KNOW they are dropping a bomb. they KNOW that men DO NOT react well to this stuff. trust me, they've done this to other guys, its not just you, and they KNOW the typical reaction they are going to get from it.
moreover, try telling a chic about the chics you've banged in the past. the result is going to be her being pissed off and moody for weeks. so THEY dont like hearing it, so they obviously know you are not going to like hearing it.
now, what guys aren't bothered by this? the guys who don't put women on a pedastle. the guys who have given up on the notion that women can be 'sugar and spice and everything nice'. guys who accept that women are no different than men, that they are no more moral than men are, that they are just as much 'dogs' as men are. for these men there is no cognitive dissonance in dealing with women.
its the men who keep wishing women were 'sugar and spice' that get upset when they find out their girl getting hammered by 2 black guys in the back of a pickup truck that lose it. and the reason they lose it is because of cognitive dissonance.
here they are viewing their relationship as something special and unique and made of pixie dust and love muffins - only to find out that their girl is just another run of the mill kawk sucker. they thought 'they were the center of their girls world. that they were this high value man their woman had chosen and was thankful to have.' only to find out that their woman woudl be just as satisfied getting muff hammered by the football team. it creates an utter sense of cognitive dissonance - which is also why suddenly they can't look at her the way they did before.
and like i say, women do this KNOWING this kind of reaction will occur. its a bold and brash move and one usually attempted at crushing a males spirit.
ironically a DJ just laughs it off. it has the opposite effect on the DJ. which will often upset the woman. here she revealed herself to be a 'slut' (by traditional norms mind you) only for the DJ to laugh it off, leaving hte impression "haha. it doesn't bother me. i always knew you were a slut."
now heres another problem with this whole scenario - the erroneous assumption that all women are sluts or saints.
the reality is that women are just like men. there are a huge quantity of them who have slept with a lot of men, who have engaged in meaningless sex, etc. - i mean, who do you think all the guys are sleeping with?!
and just like men, a huge quantity of them have only had a few partners and cared about those partners.
the stupid 'sex in the city' mentality that has permiated society has created this vibe that every woman is living her life like a porno actress and every guy is macking on every chic he sees.
the reality is that most women, like most men, are 'unlucky' in love. most women aren't getting asked out every day. most women aren't getting laid at every turn.
i've been with enough women to know that most women do NOT have 25 notches on their bed post. heck, your AVERAGE woman has maybe 5-10 notches.
trust me, when you start asking a lot of women out, what you find (or at least i've found) is that a lot of them are pleasantly surprised when you do. its not like they have been asked out 100 times before you did. more often than not they haven't been asked out in quite some time.
and the ones who have been asked out, its often ones who hit the bars and are getting hit on by guys they could care less about.
anyway, long story short, I do think that if a woman tells you about past lovers that its a bad sign. a woman who is really in to you will avoid that conversation because she doesn't want your IL to drop off.
when a woman tells you about her ex's, in my opinion, its a clear sign that you have entered the land of mind games.
NO ! This desire is NOT immature at all. You wanted to be her sexual hero -great !ThunderMaverick said:I wanted to be the best and the only one for her. How immature is that? She's a human being with desires instinctively instilled in her, just like me.
.
Yea, if you know that you will be ostracized for certain behavior it's in your best interest not to shout it from the rooftops.joekerr31 said:id go so far as to say its completely healthy and normal for a woman to hide her past. all the women that i would consider 'functional' women were tight lipped about their past.
NOW your getting it. SHe is with you because she WANTS to be with you .ThunderMaverick said:. Stop comparing yourself. She's with you hopefully for good reasons and not feeling like she's settling.
Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.
