Does the rumor mill of sexual encounters ever steer your perception of others? Have you let rumors stop or start your interest?

Work place, School, Bus transit, train, subway. they're all the same. Always a new guy or girl and most likely they'll be bangin up a storm somewhere with someone or everyone or maybe it was all because they didn't choose to fuck the storyteller and all the tea gets spilt. Hot and cold tea everywhere. Either way it's just tea. How do you take those gossip sessions? What do you do with them?

I often want to judge based off rumors but i prefer to question the source and hear it straight from the participating horse’s mouth. In high school, “rumors” ruined me, because back then it was only partially true but people left out a big factor, that it all happened with ONE GUY. Of course I didn't know at the time that he was the neighborhood hoe, so I was considered guilty by association. Same with my friend girls. One or two were the neighborhood hoe, so people assumed I popped pussy around town just because they did. I only accepted their friendship because they were nice to me since I arrived at the new school. I only fell for my ex because he was he boy next door, literally my neighbor. And the PDA he forced upon us, just made people gossip more and more about me. It wasn't until later on that I was like “Okay, so what, we fcked here, there, everywhere. But it was still just the same guy”. I mean you had girls gettin the train ran on them, sucking a dick circle of guys, and gettin rammed up the ass. But me dating and sleeping with the same guy was the issue? Nah make it make sense

Yes, totally fair to reject someone. I’ve done it before. You’re entitled to make any decision you want and you’re also entitled to the consequences of any decisions you make. So if you were a jerk about it and this woman is annoyed with you and tells mutual friends…well…, on the other hand…if you were nice and they’re spreading rumours, that’s wrong and bad. Ignore.

A friend of mine almost got divorced after his wife had their first child. Someone who worked at the same hospital as them, told her some stuff about his dating life before they met. It was all rumor and probably very little of it was accurate. My friend's wife had postpartum depression and wasn't well mentally to be able to process this all. It was wrong for that lady to repeat rumors of the past to her in her vulnerable state.

The more you ignore others, the happier you will be.
