Do people who think that way do so only because of their own past?
You could try asking them..... but they probably wouldn't remember.

And tell you to have an open mind at the same time.

I haven't seen the movie or this Lumberg character, but getting the jist of this thread....

Isn't everyone, "Lumbergs" included, on their best behavior when first dating someone? Wouldn't it be quite possible to believe his facade and keep dating him for awhile until his true self shows through?

If you don't think dating a jerk is a forgivable offense (meaning you wouldn't date someone who once dated a jerk), can you honestly look back at your own past and not find one single jerk/b*tch in the bunch that you wish you hadn't dated? Would you want your future dates to judge you by your having once dated that "Lumberg?"

We make judgments all the time while dating. Judge people on looks, personality, sense of humour, manners, etc. There is no dimension I would make a judgment on that I'm not willing to accept them judging me on.

If I met a woman who dated a Lumberg, I would definitely ask them about him. Probably 3rd to 5th date territory.

Can't we just blame it on low blood sugar and move on?

Why should I care? If he's a jerk and she's dating me now, isn't it quite obvious that she's had some kind of epiphany about her taste in men?
Either that or it means that I'm a jerk and haven't realized it yet

I admit I watched Ghostbusters recently. Classic.
