That expression's definitely one of my pet peeves and I think it's way overused. To me, baggage would be crazy/stalking exes, psychotic children, addictions. To others, it could be much less. A pof-er wrote to me, I wrote him back and in talking about myself mentioned my kids were "mostly" good. My whole tone was kind of joke-y and humorous. Hmm, well I won't do that again. Never heard from him again and I'm guessing "mostly" good kids (they're good, I swear!) just constitutes too much baggage. (shaking head at what people take seriously)

I'd add some others to your "baggage" list, but on point. I'm sure there are plenty of women out there who when asking me what my baggage was would give me that uneasy feeling that our ideas of the word were more than a little incongruous. They wouldn't even have to wait for me to respond, as they would probably hear the back-up-beeps of the moving van behind me.

I think it's telling some lunatic that they don't want someone wanting to move in right away.

Hence, no baggage means don't even think about it.

I understand why some people would say kids = baggage, now before anyone gets mad at me, I do not hate kids. I hope to have my own someday. However, most men do not want to raise another man's kids. Also, some women tend to use them as an excuse to dump the new guy for the kid's father. What man wants to jump into a relationship that is not on solid footing?

I replied to someone once that I had just enough baggage to fit through an airport security x-ray machine, backpack around the mountains with or carry on my own.

I don't think that was what he meant haha

I believe what men mean when they say this is they are looking for a woman that does not carry all of her past experiences around and dwell upon them every day. I think they mean that they would like to meet a woman whose every conversation does not return to an ex and some terrible experience she had.

The fact is though, you are right, we all have some baggage, because we are all old enough to have lived long enough to have experienced some relationships that did not work out.

The question is, do you harbor ill feelings still for any of these individuals and carry them around with you tainting any future possible relationships?

We all have baggage, the emotional baggage is one kind of baggage we can control if we choose to. I look at all my bad experiences as learning experiences or things that made me stronger as a person, however, some people cry the victim and become drama kings or queens about their bad experiences in life. Then there is the personal responsibilty issue, choices we make in our personal life,going to school, keeping a job, what is your credit score, mine is very good by the way. Paying the bills on time which I do. Living on a budget which I do. Handling break ups and saying its their lost. Other choices are; chosing not to drink or smoke or not to to drugs. I chose no to all of these 3 horrible habbits. Baggage can be an ex hanging around or children from 3 different fathers or mothers. Some people do not know how use birth control and are not picky enough who they choose to have sex with. Life is full of choices, I know the choices I made were responsibile even though people think I am some weirdo for not getting married or having kids. NO I am not a weirdo I made some good choices in my life that did not leave me any baggage.
I did what was right for me.

To me it means that your heart isn't somewhere else. Devoted (emotionally/romantically) to the future only and not looking into the past.

For me, if you're bruised and it affects you in a negative way, that's baggage. If you're bruised, and heal, and it affects you in a positive way, it's growth.

Well said - I agree
