So you're dating a person and hitting it off well when your dates ex comes to you and tries to warn you against dating them. would you listen to what they tell you?
How many times do guys warn other guys about dating their exes? Never happened in my life (in either direction). The new guy would just assume the ex is bitter and/or creepy and/or still in love with his ex. It would be looked upon as beyond pathetic (even if his warning was genuine)
However this seems more common among women. That doesn’t mean the new girl is always naive and automatically trusts the ex’s word over the new guy’s word. I know women can recognize jealousy and bitterness.
But women seem to be more trusting of each other in romantic scenarios vs. how men act amongst each other. They see dating as more of a team effort where men more look at it as every man for himself.
Personally I would love to tell my ex gf’s boyfriend that she is a cheater. But when I’m honest with myself I know I’m not doing it to help him. I don’t give a shit about him. No I am doing it just to hurt her because she hurt me. It would be to get even.
So I know my motive is wrong so I’ll never seriously consider doing something like that. He probably wouldn’t believe me anyway.
I'd really hope that I wouldn't listen to that person because of that would taint my thoughts going forward. But in reality, I don't know how it would be possible to not listen to what they said.
Of course! I would just take what they say with a grain of salt.
That's the thing about exes: you're not sure who or what really caused the breakup. He might call her toxic, or vice versa. Yet treat you completely different. Meaning they might have just been a bad match for each other...
Or she could be right and she could be sparing me a major headache and heartache. Like I said, I'd listen to her, get to know him, and use my own judgment.
I would listen and take what they said into account. If I feel like if what they said starts to line up what persons actions and words then I will definitely heed the warning and avoid them. If they can show me solid proof that would be even better. But I usually decide by my own personal experience.

I’d listen but will use my own judgement … depends on who it’s from too.
Ill be honest here. If a girl reaches out to you to tell you about him listen. she's telling you something about him. I wish someone would have told me about my ex. Would have saved me a lot of heartache.
You dont have to believe it all. But ask for proof, listen watch and see if what she says rings a bell or shows up. Proceed w caution. We girls might be crazy but some are painted as crazy because a man says so. Listen watch and do your own research.
I date for other reasons. I am NOT looking for a wife. I have had male friends tell me things about women, but honestly, I don't expose myself to these ladies. If I were looking for a wife you are damn tooting I will listen. There is a term "bros before (redacted)" I am a firm believer in that term!
Yes and I'd investigate. And don't give me the crap of "If there's no trust, the relationship is over" because I have to clear their name and be just.
That exact thing happened to me too and I didn't really give a fuck. If we dont click, we dont click, I wasn't worried about it. We've been together 3 years now and have lived together for two of those. Love her more every day
Yes I would. An ex might have an agenda, so I wouldn’t completely accept what they say as fact but I would keep my eyes open for signs of what she was telling me.
It depends, if it's quite obvious they are just trying to cause trouble, then no. If it's something like a criminal past etc then I would definitely take it into consideration.
I'd take it with a grain of salt, but maybe they've changed? Unless it has to do with a criminal record!
If he's a pedophile or a rapist he is immediately kicked to the curb.
I'd listen to be polite but take it with a grain of salt. Relationships are hard and there's way too much nuance.
It would depend on what she said and how genuine she seemed. I'd definitely listen , but weigh up the situation first.
It would depend on what they had to say. They could be jealous, or they could be honest.
I would make a decision based on that.
For sure. I'd definitely keep it on the back burner. Not saying I would break up but I'd just remember it.
I would listen but I would trust my gut feeling more and still keep dating him, if I felt comfortable
I voted B. I'll hear what the ex has to say and date him myself to really see what's up with him.
I think you should listen even if you think they are jealous, take under advisement what they say, you don't have to believe them but the information is there incase the same situation happens or is about to happen
If my ex is tellin' me to be careful, okay fine. But don't think i owe you nothin'.
I'd always listen and take note. It's not an instant breakup but I'll take note for sure.
it depends what the warning is, some girls are just being mean, possessive and petty.
I wouldn't listen to mine at all because I'd be thinking she was trying to get me
Only if I knew the former ex, else I will see for myself.
