Why do men ask about your past?

[@TonyGaskins]

Hey! Thank you to those of you who appreciate the videos. It’s hard to please everyone, and I can only upload one video a day. There are a million topics and hopefully we get to cover them all. Just ask specific questions in the comments and I’ll add it to my video list. Thank you for watching them, even if you may not need it in the moment. I’m pretty sure at some point you’ll experience every one of these videos on real life.

[@ebone1974]

I’m really appreciative of the videos you post. Being divorced after 8 years and for a second time, especially after honestly believing I did it God’s way the second time, has been a real challenge to comprehend, grow through and learn from. But I won’t give up on love. I definitely get great points to ponder and helpful information from your videos and coaching! Thank you.

Hey Tony, I met a guy and in four months I expieance the Gost move, the silence, trying to train me, the asking of my past sex partners and relationship. Our first conversation was for for eight hours after that it was about four hours a day. We agreed we was in a committed relationship. We talked about a future and getting married. He came to see me one weekend two months in. After that visit, he got crazy, controlling, insecure, disapproving of me put out with friends/ coworkers. Mind you we do live far apart. He lives in NC and I live in NJ. I met his though a mutual friend because I am in the process of relocating to NC. All that we have been through I have lost interest in him. He admited to me that be was trying to train me, he lied and was testing me. I was told from the beginning by our mutual friend that he was in a lot of bad relationship so I was trying to be understanding. I have shared many of your videos wirh him. I told him if he went back to rhat guy I was getting to know in the first month or two we can try to move past this and start over. Am I crazy? Or should I just move on with my life? We have not talked in six days today.

As an older American Black man who’s been married for a long time I never asked a woman how many men she was sexually involved with … But I always asked if they had any jealous ex boyfriends or husbands because I didn’t want any drama….Unfortunately, sometimes women told me things about their past men at the very beginning of a new relationship with me although I never/didn’t ask them anything about their ex partners!!!! And, yes, I have to be honest and say that sometimes it did change how I felt about them…. And I was annoyed because I hadn’t actually asked them for that information and didn’t want to hear it so soon when I’m still trying to get to know you!!!!!

Why Men Ask About Your Past • he has bought into the “zero/hero” philosophy • he’s trying to see about your history in the bed with men • to see what he can get away with/see what you will put up with • to judge you How to answer • that’s none of your business • my past is my past • what we need to do is focus on the present and the future

[@CO-jb8wj]

Be blessed! To add another reason why you shouldn’t discuss your past (especially in the early stages of dating) is because if you and that person don’t workout, that person now knows your personal history and who’s to say they won’t share. Had a man tell me his whole life, flaws and all, on our first phone conversation while I said very little and just listened. I opted not to move forward based on all he revealed but the worst part for him is I now know his “secrets” and personal life while he barely knows anything about me. Luckily I won’t share but what an unsettling place to be in for him. I took note to never tell my business. It’s easy to do when you’re romantically attracted someone in an effort to bond.

I feel at that time I wasn’t strong enough to fully let go until I got hurt. I was emotionally caught up and insecure about the situation not working out in my favor.

While in a relationship with a guy about 1 year into he through in my face I deserve the molestation that happened to me; I was totally shock to hear him throw that in my face, due to the fact that I was a child when it happened, it hurtful and it was spiteful all because I called him out on some mess he was doing. I've had men ask me those questions I did say to them it isn't any of there business. But there were a lot of times I answered their questions thinking it was okay to be transparently honest; thinking if he knew what I been through he won't do the same . Man was I wrong! what I learnt is the very thing you say you don't like he will do them and he will ; what I've learn is to say what I want and not what I don't want or like because, that is what he will focus on and do and I was miserable. Thank you Tony.

Be blessed! Thank you for your insights. I have had a man throw up my family of origin dysfunction, etc in my face and I was like 'are you kidding me'??

[@NoOooooooommmm]

hello; Thank you for sharing your information. I just went through something like what you had explained about in your video. I met him at work, and we started to talk .He began to ask me about my pass. My intuition was telling me to stay away from him. The next day i text him and let him know didn't want to start anything with him. He reply, ok, take care. I haven't seen him since the text i had sent him. I felt like he was watching me. Anyway; Your video pop up and i began to watch. Everything you had said ,I experience what you had explain in the video just by talking to him. I give thanks to the good lord. He always show me the truth. sending many blessing to you and your family. I truly appreciate what your doing. Thank you for your hard work.

[@Samerootsdifferentbranches]

There's this new age movement to call men narcissistics when the relationship doesn't work out. I've noticed that. I feel like women just so fed up with being hurt and not being "the one" they need an escape goat now. I think it's more important to get the message and like you always say get the knowledge instead of putting labels on folks. Man, it's rough out here Tony! 🤣

[@ladyshay4323]

Yes. I agree. Today everyone wants to label everything.

[@Glamrocs]

Totally agree

You are telling the truth ,everything you mentioned happened to me.. Previous relationship he threw all of what I said to him in my face and was mentally and verbally abusive. Now I'm talking to someone and listening to you and applying what you say I let him do all the talking and I add to what he says about my past just to relate but I don't go into details Because it's simply none of his business.

What do men expect when they r sleeping around. Then they should stop doing that. They r creating these women

[@larkford4460]

[@_tvbeauty]

I made the mistake of over sharing my past with a guy because he asked and I felt safe enough to share it with. Because of that, he automatically assumed I wasn’t healed and walked away suddenly. I was completely blindsided and felt judged for simply sharing my story. I’ve done the work and I’ve healed far before meeting him. It may be a blessing that he walked away, but I know now to never over share my past because it no longer exists.

[@kkeyes0523]

omg tony! love it and I will use this moving forward: "the question is, can you sleep with me, that's what matters. and if you can't sleep with me then you can do the math in your head." yeeeeees!!! thank you for this one because I have never been able to figure out the most assertive response.

[@kkeyes0523]

got me a first date this weekend and if the past comes up, i'm using ALL of these phrases of staying focused on the present and future. LET'S GO!!!!

Be Blessed You freed me again ...thank you...a lot of the advice you give I already knew , but society has a way of making you feel your wrong for thinking that way. You free me In every video and I'm so grateful for it..I'm holding the men in my life accountable and letting them know straight up weather is my nephews or my bf , they have to rise to the occasion

[@missioncalming7172]

Be blessed thank you for dropping jewels and knowledge. You are telling the truth. My mindset has changed from telling my past to manifesting my future so why do we need to talk in detail about my past. Also a man that focuses on your past is not a builder of your future.

WOW !!!! Is all i can say and THANK YOU!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@staceythorpe7938]

Absolutely! An immature man operates from erotic love, which is the lowest form of love; that's why it can be exploited and use as a form of manipulation. A mature man operates from God's love, the Agape love, found in 1 Corinthians 13!

[@rozzie5651]

Thats deep!

[@roychess]

Unfortunately here in the real world- on Planet Earth - those type of men are defined as “cuckolds” or “Simps.” Women need to understand as YOU JUST STATED there are many FORMS OF LOVE -not just one. The NON SEXUAL LOVE is AGAPE. The love you have for your parents is different than a wife loving her husband right? The love you have for your brother is not the same as the love you have for a husband right? The love you have for your country is different from the love you have for a husband right? The fallacy in your reasoning is that you are swapping the definitions or contexts of the TYPES OF LOVE. You are trying to say LOVE IS LOVE but you also realize that is blatantly FALSE. You will not love your male relative such as your father or brother as you do a husband, PERIOD. Dating and Marriage are sexual relationships and based on sex. Let’s be real if a man is NOT INTO YOU he is not wifing you no matter how good a woman you are. We don’t typically see young men going after 75 year old women FOR A REASON. She is OLD. No sexual interest MEANS no attention from him, no gifts or flirting, no courting her, no dinner dates for her and so on. It IS ABOUT SEX or you will be treated differently- like a sister or a cousin.

[@hymnodyhands]

Key term: "OPERATES FROM"... in a world in which senior women too are getting wifed up... what carries a romantic relationship long-term is not EROS, although that is a major component... but that can happen with anyone. This is why high body counts on all sides exist. Fondness/affection -- PHILIOS -- and sacrificial commitment -- AGAPE -- are what MATURE MEN OPERATE FROM to build their generational legacies through their committed relationships with MATURE WOMEN. Operating solely from EROS leads to dissipation and destruction ... diseases running rampant, generational poverty, broken children growing into adults unready to be successful, productive, and independent... that's what OPERATING FROM just sexual desire gets us.

[@roychess]

@@hymnodyhands A man who has no sexual interest WILL NOT and DOES NOT even consider a woman for marriage. We need to START from there. It is not fantasy Island here. Marriage is about SEX. Show me a man who marries a woman with no thought about having sex with her and I will show you a forced or inappropriate marriage. You can’t put God and sex in the same sentence. A mature man operates from Godly love no matter WHAT YOU DO? REALLY? So if you were a serial killer it doesn’t matter? Well this only applies to people with vaginas. A man with that past may be skipped over because he was a serial killer. Women don’t tend to OVERLOOK stuff like that for a man. What if he was a homosexual for ten years and then meets you? A woman typically doesn’t overlook that. But as long as you have a vagina nothing you do should stop you from being a wife? seems we have a double standard here. men do not marry a woman for her personality. We marry because we are first sexually attracted to her and THEN and ONLY then do we consider the OTHER THINGS.

[@hymnodyhands]

@@roychess Have you never read the Bible through? Song of Solomon -- or even the end of Genesis 2 or Genesis 4 -- show that God and sex have quite a lot to do with one another, since God created sex for marriage and reproduction! He set down all kinds of guidelines for it to best enjoyed... and those guidelines include putting the sex down the track of affectionate and sacrificial love INSIDE marriage. If a man and woman are not developed to the point that they can operate in all the areas of love inside marriage (see the whole of Ephesians 5), God outright FORBIDS them even having sex ("Flee FORNICATION," is repeated many times in many ways, with fornication being any sex outside marriage, and the lifestyle of the fornicator being listed as one of those things that will keep a person out of Heaven)! God also forgives and redeems fornicators when they come to Christ in redemption and faith (see Ephesians 5 for the list), and tells them WHAT? If you have strong sexual desire still, GO GET MARRIED (I Corinthians 7), with the suggestion that the age for women that is too old for marriage or remarriage and thus to be supported by the community instead of a husband is not 30, 40, or 50 ... AT LEAST SIXTY -- ANY YOUNGER, and they are EXPLICITLY told: GO GET MARRIED (I Timothy 5). And this fact comports with the NORMAL length of sexual desire and readiness on human beings: 40-50 years from puberty! Someone out there is wanting and having good sex at sixty and beyond -- and God's opinion is, "Go enjoy -- but get and stay MARRIED FIRST, with all the affectionate and sacrificial love I have commanded you with that." These things are EXPLICITLY discussed -- so how are we going to say that God and sex have nothing to do with each other? Remember, folks ... women READ nowadays ... if you come saying something, just know that we can check anything and everything for ourselves...

[@irenebuford8930]

Mr. Gaskins, I learn so much from you, however I have been with narcissist men and men that are not narcissist, however I have learned that the silent treatment was primarily from the narcissist men, I understand your good views, however a serious pattern of a man ghosting and using the silent treatment is a very strong narcissist character trait in the man... I also made a personal decision not to entertain men that use silent treatments because I do not want THE GROWN BOY!! I am 48 years old, so I have experience in life.... Oh my God the media and the music has destroyed men nowadays, you are absolutely correct... If a man asked me how many men I have slept with, that would turn me off enough to not even date him.... You are right responding with confidence is the key... You made me laugh when you did the imitation of a man saying okay, I might just spit on you and slap you.. lol.. Men are forever testing women... You are absolutely correct when you tell men about abusive men in the past some men may take advantage of this and think that they can repeat the abuse... Great video Tony....

Oh wow Bro Tony again you are on point!I experienced this with an ex after 9 yrs off & on together & I asked him why he never wanted to plan a future with me & his reply was because of my past relationships although I never just told him straight out he found out through me talking to some of them but he also knew that those relationships were very abusive so I had to get out...anyways he also stated that I might get rid of him too which I told him that if he doesn't abuse me as they did then he had nothing to worry about...needless to say he is history😊❤✌
