BTW, to further clarify, I thought Bonny's phrasing of Peter Pan was funny, I am in no way man-bashing. I think the phrase applies just as much to women as men. When something bad happens in our lives, people do one of two things: learn from it and keep the lesson or carry it in their minds and hearts forever, allowing it to control them and their lives, and using whatever it was as an excuse. As I stated earlier, "baggage" is all in how you learn to carry it. flowerforyou

I don't.


Then you must be dating a fetus bro.

Everyone has a past and the crap that comes along with it. When you find a woman with no past....by God let us know! I would bet my sister that such a woman doesn't exist on the planet.

Good luck!

Good luck finding a person without baggage! We all have it to an extent and if you are seeking someone who has not experienced any life, then you are seeking milk toast, no gumption and no zest for life!

We all bring baggage with us unless it's a first kiss relationship. Some just in "carry ons" (I kind of fear those.... like they never intend to stay long, or ever really cared for someone).

Given the right situation you will get rid of it and start shopping for new baggage together. It's life. Who has made all the perfect choices?

It's personal choice.... What type of baggage are you willing to help carry with someone until you settle in? Always check your own closet before you condemn someone elses!

hmmm, "baggage" could be anything from drama to money problems to lots of kids, so basically if your saying you dont date people with baggage, then what your really sayin is your either goin to grow up and be a monk, or wait to find a virgin that never leaves the house, or watches tv, or listens to the radio, or has any contact with the world that would cause baggage to form. so yea i date girls with baggage, its unavoidable:thumbsup:

Baggage: An excuse commonly used by Peter Pans and other immature men to avoid commmitment yet maintain a sexual relationship.

Almost everyone today who has experienced a failed relationship is carrying around some degree of emotional baggage. The problem with these left over feelings is that they are usually negative in nature, causing fears and doubts that carry over into future relationships.The fears and hurt feelings only then grow and now become justified within your own mind as correct. This creates a cycle that you then feel unable to escape from in your romantic life.

totally agree, I used to go out this guy, nice guy hardworker, divorced with a boy, but he couldn't see me like myself he always compare me with his ex, that's just horrible, he never said it out loud but because some comments I realized that, I even confronted him but he just couldn't see more, sad but true! would I go out again with somebody like him, sometimes u can't tell apart till further down the road of a relationship !

I don't
Reading through this thread, it sounds to me as if you carry a lot of emotional baggage yourself.

I've never met anybody who didn't have SOME baggage.

Baggage, per se, is not the issue for me. I won't date people who have certain KINDS of baggage, thereby extending the metaphor to the point of absurdity.
