Not that desperate

Paris Hilton is officially an ex-con, but do you think this will impact her dating options? I doubt it too. After all the media coverage of her stint in the pokie, I started thinking about what would happen if I went to jail. I was joking around with my friend Brian last night about what circumstances he would date someone who has been in prison. He said he wasn’t so desperate that he would have to date someone who had a criminal record.

The guys I have dated didn’t have a criminal past that I was aware of, at least they never told me. I am not sure how I would react if someone I was dating told me they served time. I suppose the circumstances of why they went to prison and how long they were there could make a difference though. Then again, I can be really snobby at times, and I would probably worry how my family would react. My father still brings up the guy I brought home once that LOOKED like an ex-con - and that was way back in high school!

When we talked about “When She Has A Past”, a reader sent me an email saying that he was lucky enough to be dating a great woman who stayed with him after he revealed to her that he served time. It really made me think about judging people’s past mistakes so harshly. I mean, isn’t it possible to change?

What are your thoughts?

If you have served time in prison, do you tell the people you are dating about it? If so, what do you say? How long do you wait before telling them?

How would you react if someone you were dating admitted to being an ex-con?

Good Morning All,

Happy Friday. Yes I have a most likely would again date someone with a record. It depends on what they were in for. White Collar crimes yes, malice murder,rape child molestation…those are unforgivable curses. So No.

I mean life has proven that people can change what is in a person’s past is just that their past.

I am sure this topic will be a interesting one Wisey.

It really depends on why they went to prison. If it was for something like rape or child molestation then no. If it’s murder, it depends on the circumstances. If they stalked or beat an ex wife or ex girlfriend, NO WAY! If it’s something like a DUI or vehicular homicide, then MAYBE. I realize that all of us make mistakes. If they have truly changed and have moved on with their lives in a positive way, then I wouldn’t count them out.

I have not knowingly dated someone with a record. The main questions would be “What was his offense?” and “When did it occur?” I would make my decisions from there.

I’d like to think I’d be open-minded enough to accept one’s criminal past (if they’d reformed), but it brings to mind a first date from last year (yesterday’s topic?!) where the chick detailed her jail time and the criminal records of her kids… man, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

On topic: Cosigning the first part of Drk’s post. Minor offenses are cool but I don’t think people really change that much. If you think its easy try changing something about yourself. It’s hard as hell.

What about borderline cases like DUI’s which would lead one to believe there’s a bigger problem.

Happy Friday Everyone!! This is a good topic today because I am actually dealing with this topic now…. My friend is actually on her way on a 12 hour driving journey to pick up a man she meet two weeks ago. She is bringing him back to her house in Ga and they are going to live together. Well he is going to sleep in the guest room and she is going to sleep in her own room. This guy is 50 years old…. Just got out of jail again… no real job.. no furniture, no cell phone until my friend brought him one. Now granted my friend is in her early 30’s and madly in love with him. He can offer her nothing. His own mother is shocked that this is happening so fast and she introduced him to her. She won’t listen to me or anyone else! I couldn’t date someone knowing they have a jail record. It would be really hard for them to get a decent job and I can’t deal with taking care of him and me!

Okay, had to come out of Lurksville on that one, LadyJ. There’s a big difference in dating someone with a record, and hooking up with someone who is currently serving time, and your mate who may do something to get some time. At least with the last two, you have some sort of history, and even then you don’t really know what you’ll be getting when it’s over. But to meet someone behind bars and start a relationship…………HELLZ NAW!!!!! I hope it works out for her though………awww hellz naw!!!!

so Sean, if she had done something to a man she once was married to/ or dated, something like, violently attacked him, you wouldn’t date her would you?

Like you guys have said, how much can people really change, and would you fear that they would commit crime again?

@Cassie, you know that is a real concern,not to mention, dealing with the prison culture after being released..man, talk about adjusting. I imagine that you are forever changed. Oh, and I watched “OZ” which really scared the heck out of me.

Hey guys. I read this blog everyday, but I don’t post, so today I thought I would. My sister is dating a guy that is in AA and NA. The guy’s only 24, so he couldn’t have been recovering too long. Is it wrong for me to look down on this guy? Obviously he used to have a problem, but who says it won’t come back. I don’t think people really change, ecspecially not that fast. It’s not the same as a criminal record, but it is a troubled past. I could see if the guy has been sober for ten years, but right now I wouldn’t give him a chance.

I tried to be non biased and give the guy a chance, so much so that he felt comfortable enough to tell me that he j&*(ed off every single day and was a porn addict.

Hey Truth I will keep you posted. She is supposed to be bringing “thug life” to work on Monday for use to meet him. I told her please let me know so I can go out to lunch early and not come back…. She brags on him like he is the cat’s meow. She even said he looked like LL Cool J…. We say his picture and all I saw was Rueben Studdard. But whatever… I hope it works out and she doesn’t get hurt but when the guy’s mama is even saying why are you moving him to Georgia you just have to question why? They won’t be slapping wang wangs together because supposedly he is sleeping in the guest room… Yeah right but still…. If the dude doesn’t have a job and you do and you are not giving him any meat what makes you think he is not going to sit at home all day and do nothing…. The whole situation is bad but she knows what she is doing. She told me he was a bad teenager and went to jail for that… Hello he is 50 and just now getting out??? What’s wrong with this picture….. Also he has two kids and an ex wife and can’t afford to pay for his kids hence no drivers license…. And no I am not jealous… just in case anyone was wondering…. LOL

Morning folks!

I have to agree with the others, it would depend on why he did time. I have a friend that is very successful professionally and an all around good guy. Well one night, he got arrested for speeding and had to spend the night in the pokie - does that count as doing time? But even it were prison time, I would try to find out the underlying circumstances before walking away from a guy.

Many moons ago I dated a guy who had a criminal past, let’s just say he knew his guns. This never really scared me, who knows why! He was a good person at heart but for some reason he felt he had to live this lifestyle. Well, needless to say he ended up shot in the back by some random argument. I was in my late teens, early twenties so it hurt but I moved on. Although I do believe people can change, I don’t plan to date another guy with such a past.

c) Genarlow should spend about 6 more months in jail just so he doesn’t get the same deal as the other kids who admitted their mistake and took a reduced sentence &

d) men are more visually stimulated than women so saying a man is addicted to porn (or addicted to spanking his monkey) is like calling him a man.

I would NEVER date a man who has served time. I once worked with an openly gay brotha and the only men he dated were the ones who were in denial. I noticed that the once common denominator these men shared was that they all had served time at one point in their lives. The time ranged from six months (habitually) to several years and the bad part about it was that these manly men lived double lives. I know it’s bad to judge, but it was shocking to see and hear the stories he would share. One story he shared was about an old “boyfriend” who was shot and killed one year and the guys baby mamma would come to our job to visit my co-worker because she knew he was a good friend of her kids father. Too bad she didn’t know just how good of a friend he was!!! One note, my co-worker did not appear to be gay, you really had to pay close attention to his behavior patterns to pick up on it…so there is no way she would have known with certainty.

Also, my co-worker brought in an ‘ol school photo album (the big thick one) and he had pictures of brothas, all of whom he had dated or had relations with and they lived all over the ATL. BUT, the only commonality that I found was that they all had served time. So you do the math. It just gives me a peace of mind not to date any man who has served time because that time in my life taught me that there is no way to tell if/when he desires a mans touch and as always LOVE can be blind. I feel I work to hard just to have it all taken away with a positive HIV test result. I know…I know….GOD doesn’t give you more than you can handle, but that is one test I would rather not have to deal with.

In reality - people don’t always disclose prison time, so look for red flags (in hindsight, there always are red flags). Background checks are very underrated too!

If the person was in prison for child molestation/rape/sex charges/murder, then everyone they date/see should be told this.

Then again - maybe knowing about jail time for unpaid child support/traffic stuff, etc., would be important - it gives you an idea of what you’ll be dealing with in the future with this person.

But! People do change. There are ex-cons who come out of prison and try to make a better life. Just beware of the ones who NEVER HAVE A DESIRE TO DO BETTER IN LIFE!!!

LMAO at MO.

Lawgirl in jail it is sometimes easier for a guy to be a sex toy than to fight to protect his manhood. In the beginning of being turned out he abhors it. Eventually he accepts it and finally he enjoys it. This has nothing to do with physical size or strength at all. It is an individual decision that alot of guys are forced to make. Where I worked if you had a 60 year sentence you were lucky, or snitched. So, if you know with 100% certainty that you will never be with a woman again is the thought of sleeping with a man as repugnant? Just giving another view to ponder. I’ve seen some real hard hitters face down and all you can say is wtf. This is in addition to our current culture which makes this kind of activity much more accepatable.

Wise I would date someone with a record based on what they did and how they currently feel about it…I’m not dating any cold blooded murders, but if they murdered someone accidentally such as a vehicular crash…I wouldn’t hold that against them if they’ve served their time…also there is a slight difference in jail time and prison time.

Jail Time: Couple nights in the local county/city holding space, maybe even a few months.(Potential to be pumped in the booty-Low to Medium exposure)

Prison Time: Couple months to many years.(Potential to be pumped in the booty-High)

I don’t think it would be a problem if it was a misdemeanor… I work in a very public job and I don’t think I could date someone with a felony record. I am married so I don’t have to worry, but I do think it would be a problem for me because of that.

I am in like with someone who is currently serving a 6 year sentence. He is an educated, thoughtful person who made a mistake and is now serving his time and wanting a better life. He is remorseful for what he has done and is motivated to be in a ministry to help kids stay out of trouble. We talk frequently - I may not know what will happen but I do know that this man is willing to do whatever it is to have a better life and not to fall back into his old life. He is a human being and made a mistake, I hope that he will make the most of any chance that will improve his life.

The Truth-I truly understand your perspective, which is why I’ve concluded that jailbirds are off limits to me. That’s precisely my point; their adaptation allows them to conform to their environment. As humans, once you repeat a particular behavior pattern, studies have shown that we are more likely to continue those patterns because we have adapted to our environment. I’m suggesting that just because one is removed from that environment, does not mean that their behavior patterns will change. I’m not judging anyone who has to make that decision or succumb to their environment, but I know I couldn’t handle dating a jailbird.

I would have to say no. I don’t really care what he was in jail for, but there is too much man on man activity going on in prison for me to ever really know for sure what went on while he was in there. Esp. if it was a long sentence. His character may be reformed but what about his sexual preferences. GROSS and NO!!!

My sentiments run along the same lines as most of those posted. I have and would take it on a case by case basis and there are certain classes of crimes that would be deal breakers.

And technically, I could be considered and ex-convict. I spent the night in jail one when I was 18. Mel.issa and I had the brilliant idea to go and steal an outfit to wear out to the club that night. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. I learned a few lessons that night. 1. Do not go to jail wearing a cute little short set. It’s freezing in general population. I almost froze to death. 2. There are a lot of prostitutes and drunk women in jail. 3. The beds in jail are NOT comfortable. 4. Stealing a $20 dress is so not enough to be in jail for. If you’re going to commit a crime, it should be a doozie. 5. Don’t commit any crimes.

Hey All…Happy Friday

My first love ended up going to prison for 10 year for drug trafficking. My heart was broken because I did not know he meddled in the drug game. He had a regular 9 to 5 and I did not see any of those things going on. Anyway, we stayed in touch with each other via telephone for a little while until I decided to let him go. When he got out he looked me up in ATL. Although he was a great guy, I just couldn’t go there. After ten years in prison, I’m sure he was touched. He had a strong s*x drive, so I know all that had to be spent in some way.

He is doing well now, but it is no way I could consider getting with him. For each his own.

Afternoon Blog!

carbing up for tomorrow’s Komen Race for the Cure

On topic: It depends. (Sorry, For Real). It really depends on the infraction. If dude was in jail for some silly bar fight while in college, I don’t care about that. But, the major things, murder, assault, robbery, any kind of sexual assualt, drug dealing/possession (more than a misdemeanor amount of weed…that happened years ago), DUI…I’d probably have to be out. Yes, it’s judgmental, but it’s also about safety.

IG I feel you. I knew a dude who went for 8.5 yrs, and although he always said “shiiid, them nikkas would have to kill me first”, I used to wonder. Even if it happened by force, a man would never admit it. And then one day he got sick and had to have an emergency operation, they had to remove one of his ballz because the blood was no longer flowing to it (and yes, this was during incarceration). Don’t know what could have caused that, but I was like dayum!! Oh well, like u said, to each his own.
