WYD: Would You Date Someone Who'd Been in Jail?
I don't think I would date anyone who had been in jail - I'd feel too uneasy. And while that might be dismissive, [shrug] - it's just not my thing. Even if it was tax fraud or something non-violent, I'd feel like I wouldn't be able to trust the guy.
Would you date someone who had served jail time? Would it depend on the crime committed?

If he had gone to jail while we were together, than maybe, depending on what he did.
If I met him after he was in jail, then probably not.
and btw, that picture is ridiculous. it's got to go.
It totally depends on what he went to jail for.
Depends on what for.
It would depend on the crime, but yeah, I would, if it was something small.
It probably depends on what he did. But in general ... No lol.
Ive dated ppl my whole life tht have been in and out of lockup and jail for many different things, one doing murder. My boyfriend right now, had gotten out of prision last year, and is now back in prision. I dont think people should depend their dating upon tht because we all make shitty choices
Like people have said, it depends on what they went to jail for, but also, it should depend on their attitude now. Are they actively trying to change their life and find a better path? Were they in jail because they made stupid mistakes, and have they learned from their mistakes? If its someone who keeps going back and hasn't learned anything/isn't trying to change...then no.
Also no to anyone who's in jail for having sex/wanting to have sex/trying to have sex with children.
no, I wouldn't date an ex-serial killer/rapist or child molester/sex offender or money laundering con-artist. they are not my type.
Probably not.
However, if someone is a great guy then maybe so. If it's meant to be then let it be. Am I right?
Depends. If I had already been dating them, and they went for like a few weeks, or few months tops, as long as it wasn't for purposeful murder or something horrible, I would still stay with him.
It depends on the crime. Like the others said, I wouldnt date a killer, rapist or someone who did stuff to children. Hell no. I wouldnt date someone who stole either. I dont know. People get arrested for stupid things because the law tries to control alot. In 2003, they started giving out $50 tickets for stupid offenses in NYC. It really hit the fan when a female cop gave a pregnant lady a ticket for sitting on the subway steps calling her an obstuction & it launched protests up the ass. They stopped the practice after that.
@laurenmaureen@xanga - I agree that picture is kinda silly. LOL
I wouldn't automatically mark them out, but I'd definitely have to take extra time to know them before dating them. It also depends on the crime, si.
@laurenmaureen@xanga - Bingo.
Depends on the crime committed. >_>
i've dated guys in jail before and so i definitely judge a person for what they've done. everyone makes mistakes. it really depends on how they treat me, and interestingly, some have been the sweetest people you'd ever meet.
Sure. "2nd chances" "change man"
No I need a guy with a clean record.
My ex got arrested while we were dating. So yeah, depends on the crime.
Uh. Nope.
It would depend on what they did and how they are now. Certain crimes no way in hell, others I may overlook depending on the overall attitude of the guy.
Too many are jerks in general to let something that may have been a minor crime stand in the way because I said that jail at all was a deal breaker.
No thanks.
Let me check my Magic-8 Ball:
Outlook not so good.
it depends on what they did.
