"Would someone's previous sexual partners affect the likelihood of you meeting them? Is it a bad thing if it does? Would you take it badly if they didn't think you were compatible because of that?" 
Tricky question.
Someone's previous partner history may give you a sense of who they are, which would obviously affect your perception of them?
No choices made are bad as long as people are honest
If I think someone is being judgemental I may be annoyed but, if that is the person they are I'm not sure they should be in my life

"Would someone's previous sexual partners affect the likelihood of you meeting them? Is it a bad thing if it does? Would you take it badly if they didn't think you were compatible because of that?" It's far too complex a question to make simple. I'd prefer NOT to know anyone else's sexual histories or partners. I prefer to make my own mind up based on interactions between myself and them. I prefer to take all precautions to keep myself safe - physically and psychologically. If I found they met with someone that I feel is of bad character , I might question myself momentarily as to how they can mix with that 'type' but then put it behind me. It would be 'behind me' based on the assumption that they met them for sex and not as a lifelong friend etc ... and also based on the fact that I was meeting them for sex and not as potential partner material. I would NOT meet with them - despite the above - if I found they had ongoing or friendly connections with anyone from the fora who I find indiscrete, malicious, gossipy , untrustworthy etc .... | |||

"Yes No No" This one. But also that sentiment can also be applied to me 
So the above answers if I know it straight off the bat. Having said that it's their response to that sexual history too and how recent it was, as people change. I'd probably have them as a friend though, just I don't think we'd be sexually compatible. | |||

"It has happened to me, a while ago I met with someone and another person I was talking to sent me a really shitty message and then blocked me. My only thoughts there was her loss" Do you think you'd be put off meeting someone based on who they're interacting/meeting with? I don't think it's anyone's loss as such - just a quick sign you're not compatible and saving you ballache later down the line.  | |||

Just my thoughts "So... no choices are bad but if someone makes a choice you'll be annoyed? I'm gently teasing you, don't worry. :D Aren't we all judgemental to varying degrees? When we meet someone we'll make a quick "judgement". We read something and we'll do the same again. I think because the word has come to have such negative, weighted connotations we don't like to think of ourselves as being judgemental but... we are. (Look it's a general we because I'm lazy. I can own that. :D) | |||

"Would someone's previous sexual partners affect the likelihood of you meeting them? Is it a bad thing if it does? Would you take it badly if they didn't think you were compatible because of that?" Morning Meli. Someone's previous sexual partner's isn't our business, neither should ours be theirs, so it wouldn't affect us meeting them. If it did affect us meeting it wouldn't be the end of the world as there's plenty more people who are willing to meet and don't care about the past, it's the hear and now that's important to us. We definitely wouldn't take it badly life's to short we would just meet with someone else. | |||

"Would someone's previous sexual partners affect the likelihood of you meeting them?" Possibly. It's only really on here where you can see veris where that would be an issue for me. If most of their previous partners were a very different type to me then I'd be wary. "Is it a bad thing if it does? " I don't know. It's a personal thing rather bad thing I think. "Would you take it badly if they didn't think you were compatible because of that?" If you're not compatible then getting pouty will solve nothing. 😂 J | |||

"I think this question has different depths to it. As I would say the awnser to the first question is no as it's nothing to do with us who other people sleep with, however at the same time if they were i.e - meeting obvious people who were unhygienic/did bareback with multiple people than this awnser would change to a yes as this would then in respect affect us. I would say no to both the other questions as I wouldn't say it's a bad thing either way, just preference, a is what it is kinda thing
Miss S x"So it's situational... that makes sense. I think for me certain things would tell me I'm not compatible with them. Could I be wrong? Yes, of course. I think if someone was really twunty about it I'd feel a bit meh but generally I can respect we all do things differently. | |||

"What difference does it make who they have had sex with. Am I missing something?? " It depends on the individual. If they are having sex with people who don't bare any resemblance to the criteria laid out in their profile they are either deceptive or deluded. If they demonise certain others in private chats but then go and shag one of that persons besties they are just playing games. Just two reasons why it would put me off someone. | |||

"Would someone's previous sexual partners affect the likelihood of you meeting them? Is it a bad thing if it does? Would you take it badly if they didn't think you were compatible because of that?" Not at all but it depends what footing you got off on when you split up. For me I get on verry well with my exes and I am open to two of them about fab but that maybe because one showed me the fab ropes and the other one was a swinger. | |||

Yep, that would put me off someone as well. I've never understood how you could be so rude about someone (like saying the sex with them is dull and you'd much rather I was there as an example) and then proceed to continue fucking them. Such a turn off. I like when words match actions, find it too confusing otherwise. | |||

Also if the previous people follow a pattern/type and I am not part of that pattern/type… I don’t think it’s wrong, not at all. Everyone is free to meet whomever they like using whatever criteria they see fit. " That's how I see it. But I don't think people always like it. I'm not interested in being veri of the week, in being a swinger... it doesn't mean I think less of the person it's just... not for me (or you!) And there's nothing wrong with that. At all. | |||

"Previous, no. Current, possibly. There are some toes I'm reluctant to step on. If someone judges me for past choices without knowing the context or circumstances that's on them. I'd rather get the blatant incompatibility out of the way early 💜" Why are you reluctant to step on toes in your six inchers? Is it because of positive or negative reasons? I think that's what it comes down to really. If things align. How you judge, view things, what's important to you, how compatible or not you are with another. How it's handled is important but the main thing is... would it work? | |||

Chad ThunderCock"Ha, I do the same. Why is it we advise people differently to how we talk to ourselves? I'm far too fond of assuming it's a platonic friendship, nothing more. Quick to believe that. I guess it's a daft form of self preservation. Sorry to read that there's one who immediately makes you change course... is that a firm no always or does it depend on who the woman is? It's interesting you say how confident *she's* helping you feel. Confident in you with her? | |||

"Why are you reluctant to step on toes in your six inchers? Is it because of positive or negative reasons? " The area I live in has a very small population. There are women that I know have similar styles and similar tastes to me, that have taken issue with me seeing the people they're seeing previously. It's an unfortunate overlap. It has caused several large fallings out and a lot of jealousy and anger over the years. I don't want to be seen as actively targeting their partners. Nor do I actually want to cause them any additional hurt knowing how they already feel about me. That said. For one of my dearest partners, I had to suck it up and have the grown up conversation with his nesting partner when I knew she had some issues with me previously. Because I knew that connection was worth at least trying to repair that relationship 💜 | |||
