I always hear guys say they don't want a woman who has been with alot of men. Well, we know many women are not going to be honest especially if they have a high number of sexual partners; so are there signs a guy can pick up on to know if a woman has a promiscuous past?

It depends on her life really, I dated an "Army brat" who in the beginning told me she had the same number of partners as I. Well as things progressed I discovered she has waaaaay more partners than I did.

Now to my point; if she stills lives in the same town where she grew up and knows an awful, awful bunch of guys that might be a hint, otherwise it will be difficult to tell.

With that being said I really don't care to know, after breaking up with the mentioned GF I started dating my wife a couple of years later. I don't know who she's been with, how many, and really don't care.

I certainly wouldn't want a bf or husband with a promiscuous past, so I care very much about my partner's 'history.' Also, the past often sheds light on what to expect in the future, with regards to monogamy.

So, why is it that you never asked your wife how many men she's been with? Is it because the number may surprise you?

There is no real way to know or tell for sure unless she tells you herself. But a good indicator is her behavior/personality. How a person acts and what they do, will almost always give you clues to their past. If she's go the "Mark of the hoar(sp)" tatoo on her lower back, then she's probably been around the block a few times. That is just a physical clue/hint which is easy to spot, but its how the are as a person that will let you know.

There is no way to know. Unless you know people from her past or she burns you with a STD. It's pretty much all guess work.

If the number of guys I have been with is a major issue for someone I am dating, I can assure you that he will NEVER know the truth.

It stinks of possessiveness--over someone's past. Ridiculous, My experiences in life have made me the person you see before you, and if that is not good enough, feel free to move on along.

For years it's been acceptable for men to have sowed their wild oats, why should it be any different for women? And in this day and age, I swear the guys and girls have relations with different partners like playing a game of musical chairs without thinking twice about it.

Watch yourself on the lower back tattoo "branding" your speaking of. I have one and it's because it has personal meaning and I didn't want it anywhere visible.
