You kids need to grow up. Your hypothetical girlfriend's history and experiences have helped turn her into the person you have supossedly fallen for. Be thankful you have found someone. Is she nice to you? Is she sweet? Is she respectful of your needs and dreams and those things you hold dear? Yes? Then who cares if she blew half the football team when she was in high school?

i wanted to come back to this thread one more time because the issue is being confused here.

look, we're not here to pass judgment on maria's sexual history. however, neither are we here to pass judgment on JOE's possible reaction. like you said dom, who cares if she blew half the football team? for all we know, joe might not give two shts either. or, maybe he'll find it a huge turn-on. or, maybe he'll think she's a dirty skank and dump her ass. THAT'S ALL UP TO HIM.

the question here is, what is our responsibility as joe's best friend, when we have acquired information that he presumably does not have? remember, we're not maria's friend, we are JOE'S BEST FRIEND. does joe have a right to the same info we have? again, he might hate maria after he learns this info, or he might simply shrug it off--that's not for us to decide. but don't we have AN OBLIGATION to share this knowledge with him, as his friend? what kind of a "friend" are you, really, if you don't?
