I may not want to date a person with certain issues, but to say they're 'damaged goods' is just messed up.

According to my experiences, those who like to call other people "damaged goods" are "damaged goods" themselves.

I can't remember thinking those words about anyone, ever. I might think some people are bad people (murderers, drug dealers, gang members, etc.) but I honestly can't remember ever thinking someone was "damaged goods."

For the record, I'm pretty sure the OP thinks of me as damaged goods - but it doesn't offend me in the least. I don't know him and nobody in my real life has ever thought that about me.

I think you might be right!

I will say one thing. Being with damaged goods sure keeps you on your toes.

Nah. You're seemingly one of the most content "regulars" here. I don't get that vibe from that many others...

I've been with damaged goods...was like being in a Tim Burton animation, the sex was amazing though...dark and emo.

I would never consider another human "damaged goods"


Every human on earth has gone through something I would never want to go through.
Every human on earth has done something that I wouldn't want to do.
