What Does It Mean When A Woman Puts This On Her Internet Dating Profile?
the phrase, “I’ve made some mistakes in the past……”
I see this frequently on different internet profiles of women on some dating sites that I frequent. Especially in the christian sites. What gives? I mean what’s a guy to assume when he reads something like that?

It could be that they cheated during previous relationships. It could mean that they did not pick the best guy in previous relationships. It could be that they are just trying to convey the fact that they are not perfect. You would have to ask each woman what they meant.

It means that she made mistakes, probably just like the person searching her profile.
The mistake could be infidelity, wild sex with the wrong person or GROUP, denying her children, dissing her parents, doing a lap dance for the neighbor’s husband…. whatever. That little phrase could be an “I’ve confessed, let’s forget about it” statement and you’re supposed to see her for the person she is today, and then when you get down to the nitty gritty whys and wheres you’ll be forewarned.
Me? I’d stay away, but then if you’re on dating sites, maybe you can’t be too picky.

it means nothing more then shes made a few mistakes in her life, shes putting it out there that she doesn’t portray herself to be perfect, and someone interested in her should also understand that she isn’t and has made a few poor decisions in life..but haven’t we all? so who are you to judge so harshly and so quickly …if the statement bothers you then closed her profile and move on to the next potential woman

I think it means she has been around the block a few times and has quite a few miles on her odometer. If you know what I mean. Plus now she has found religion and she feels she should be forgiven for ALL the prior mistakes she has made. So she considers herself a “born again virgin”…!

It means she is human, and, like all of us, is “work in progress”.
Personally, I admire people who have fallen and gotten back up and are walking straight; not letting their past define who they are now.

I have no idea. But really we all make mistakes. That is a given. Posting it may be a sort of warning label to actually show you might have some hurdles to jump over if your gonna make it over at all. Dunno. Have never been on any dating sites.

Never assume anything. Assumptions are usually wrong.
Ask the woman what she means. It’s the only way to find out instead of guesswork on here.

it doesnt mean anything profounding it just simply means that they have done things in the past that they wish they hadn’t done. thats all.

It could mean different mistakes for different people.You just have to ask.

It means she’s had a few “lost nights” if you know what I mean. Too much to drink, strange bed, strange people next to you when you wake up…..basically she sluts

She’s done something stupid she regrets like lets a guy tape them..yknow.
But it generally means she always picks the wrong guys to date.
