I was taught that is extremely rude to ask anyone how much they weigh or how much money they make, so I don't ask those questions.
If you like how your significant other looks what difference does it make how much she weighs?
If you love a person enough to marry them who cares how much money they make? Same with net worth and number of sex partners - who cares?
I've been happily married for almost twenty years, but if my DH had asked me those questions, I would have told him to take a hike and I'd like to think he would have told me the same if I had asked him such things.
beowulf7, have you ever really loved someone with all of your heart and cared about them more than you care about yourself? If and when you do these questions will become irrelevant.
I have to disagree somewhat here. Love is love; marriage is a legal contract. It may not matter how much somebody makes, but it does matter how the money is handled. I for one don't wanna deal with fiscally irresponsible person.
Ask away!!!! If I'm gonna have a serious relationship with anyone they are welcome to ask me any question that they want.
As far as the weight question, who cares, you can tell just by looking at me approximately what I weigh anyway, so why is asking weight questions such an issue.

Reason: spelling
Personally, I would be VERY put off if a partner would not tell me how many sexual partners he had. It's as serious as a heart attack. I want a clean bill of health and to know the sexual history of my partner before ever getting into bed with him.
The rest I have no right to know (and no reason to share) but I do think the number of partners question is important. I've never run into a problem with a partner not wanting to tell me- and if he did that would be a huge red flag.

Just out of curiosity... what difference does it make to you? He/she could've been with 100 and be healthy and could've been with 1 and have AIDS...

My reasoning to know would be morals. I would want someone who had similar morals as I did. Now, I'm not talking about a one night stand or two or having several girlfriends. But I would never want to be with someone who carelessy slept around with hundreds of women.
I won't comment on your questions, but the most difficult one should be: "Would you be willing to take an AIDS test?" For me as a dating woman, I want to know where one stand on this issue. I could tell how much a man makes, simply by clothing, shoes, car, which restaurants he takes me to. Some things are easier to figure out, but AIDS could only be confirmed with a test.
I don't suppose you've made any of your partners take an AIDS test, though, have you?!
I've made all of mine get a full STD work up, including AIDS, before sleeping with them, yes.
In terms of number of sexual partners, it is important because, since I'm dating guys in their mid 20s, I don't want a guy who has more than 20 sex partners or a guy who has had a single one night stand. Some STDs don't show up in tests (for example, genital herpes) so I do all that I can to make sure I avoid such situations.
