Saying "I don't know" or ballparking it makes me sound like Wilt Chamberlain, which I'm not. I guess I just don't think honesty is the best policy 100% of the time (just like "Just be yourself!!!" is sometimes terrible advice).

Honesty is always the best policy. If someone you're with can't handle it, then she's not worth the trouble.

Hi all-Have to respectfully disagree. By all means do the STDs test, but numbers are way too much info, at least for me. By the time I know a guy well enough to get the STD tests, I could make a pretty accurate guess, just cause I know him. Siren

I never ask this and I hate being asked it. I honestly don't remember, so I have to lie with an answer I think she'll find acceptable.


I think if you're in an established relationship and this comes up better to be honest. Maybe come up with a ballpark. (30, 40, 128?) but tell her you honestly don't remember. If it were me I would accept that kind of answer and I think most women in a relationship would as well. Unless you told them you were pure as the driven snow when you two met and it comes out later that you lied. Then maybe not so much. [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif[/img]


agree. if your gonna tell, tell the truth.
Yeah, people can do the math (unless you are a sex addict), one is married or in a relationship x times, and out of circulation, then maybe 2 relatonships a yr that didn't work and ended, times whatever, pretty elementary. No need to ask. The more importanant question is are we monogamous? that better be an honest yes. siren

LOL, I've thought before. I can literally count on one hand the number of women I've taken on a date in my entire life, and my friends say "You just need to be yourself!" However, I'm often times convinced that that might be part of the problem.
