Guys, would you pursue a long term relationship with goal of marriage if you found out the girl you were dating used to be a huge party animal and slept with a ton of guys from bars and such during her earlier days?

She says that now she is ready to settle down and raise a family and wants no part in such things in her past.

Not this again.

And for the record, men and women do grow up, mature and become better versions of themselves than what they were in their late teens and early twenties. IMO, you should be more worried about someone who is still a party animal, someone who hasn't grown up yet at an age that they should have matured and have other priorities by now.

This is probably the topic (other than height) that's been beaten to death the most. Some people are going to be fine with someone who slept around, others won't. This should be the last topic about this.

If my girlfriend had "slept around" back in the day, I would be fine with it, but I also wouldn't ask about it either.

Why are some men so terrified of women's sexuality? It's like they think it's a monster that could slip out of control at any moment. I put it in the same category of male phobias as vagina dentata.

If an adult man can settle down and make a good spouse and parent after having a good time in college, a woman can too. Geeesh.

If she has matured and is ready to take the next step in her life "marriage, children and responsibility" what's the big deal.
Not to sound crude but you can at least expect a very active and healthy sex life during your marriage!!
Some men/woman get married and never have the pleasure of fulfilling that aspect of their lives, which IMO is an important one..good luck.

I could care less what you were like before, I care a great deal what you are like now.

If one day I decide to get into an exclusive relationship with the goal being eventually marriage; then this type of woman is probably preferable. Neither one of us would be able to use 'the past" as a "bargaining chip" since we have both shared sex with numerous amounts of people in non-commitment situations.

I think sexuality is something to be cherished and celebrated, not made shame of. Some people (men and women) out there become insecure with an experienced person because they are afraid of being compared to previous lovers.
