In this day and age, things are just too dangerous. For us men, we don't need to be as concerned about criminal background checks, at least not as much as women but the women certainly should be.


WE
all need to be concerned about STD's/HIV.

This of course applies to those that are dating or seeking someone to settle down with.


How many of you have the confidence to ask for the above? I do and I have. Especially the CURRENT(within 30 days) medical records.

How do you start the conversation? And what do you accept as proof? If the have no current medical papers, do you not talk to them until they've had their tests? Sometimes it takes six months to get in to see a doctor.

I never have. The lack of criminal records would be a given if the guy is in any sort of upstanding job. As for the HIV/STDs, I would not know how to bring that up at the beginning of a relationship/during date. I just formulated a few ideas in my head on how to ask, I come across paranoid one way or another. Someone can enlighten me.

The only STD's I worry about are HIV, herpes, and hepatitis C. I don't really care about any of the other stuff (they can all be cured easily) and have never asked anyone to prove they are clean. However, I do get checked once a year.

As far as background checks, I'd only do that if I were looking for marriage. Since I'm not, I couldn't care less about someones criminal record.

I never thought about it since most of the men I've dated after high school were military men. But since I'm in the civilian life, I don't think it's a bad idea. I wait awhile before being intimate with anyone so I feel like after that time I will feel comfortable asking.

The first thing a man should ask is how many kids a woman has?

True story, I thought I was going to fall over when I read it!!

I saw a friend of a friend on FB, whose page is open to the world, post today this message, OMG ....

"Just my luck, I can't donate blood now because my ex boyfriend was sleeping with other men" ...

Holy crap, forget donating blood, her X is bi, that's the least of her worries ... And, she posts it for all to see ... Crazy !!!! Can you imagine ?! Now, as a guy, if you met this girl, wouldn't you want to know - her ex was bi and slept with other men ??

GROSS !
