Would You Marry Someone "Street-Smart"?

Would it be wise for a spouse to take that "knew his/her way around the streets?"  This person may have served in jail, but you feel in your heart he/she is a good person.
-OR- You may be the "street-savy" one and prefer a nice guy/girl.

(Example: Marrying a "Kojak" type, man or woman)

Depends on what the person is doing with their life at the time. Having a past is one thing. Nobody is perfect. Dragging you into the gutter, a life of crime, drug addicts lolling around your home is quite another thing all together.

The past doesn't matter, the future does

I'd never knock a street wise, infact i find them very sexy, the smooth criminal, much more intelligent then even those that are well educated, theres much to benefit.. BUT there are those that are stupidly street smart, those are the ones who took the crash course in a fast lane.. skipping the book of real life. Streetwise actually keeps you out of trouble but aware of what goes on and how to deal with it..

The past does not matter as long as he/she has learned from it otherwise a criminal just continues to be a criminal and stays that way.. thats no where near street wise lol

Like Katt, it all depends on what he or she is doing with his life now...
Whatever he might have done in the past is put to rest then it won't really matter but if he still lingers in the past, then my answer would be definitely no way,Jose!
I have never been attracted by street smart men but more into a book smart man but then again I might not have met a sexy, smooth one...heh.

Sounds like you have some "street savvy" Lips.

I'm somewhat torn on this subject because while being "street smart" is glorified on television, the conventional thinking is if you want to be a prominent person you have no dealings with "street people", with a fine line between "street people and "street smarts".

With your definition Lips, one would think it would be wise to have such awareness.

"Criminal" in my comment is meaning, smooth and easy going, it is slang in street talk..you get away with certain things because you are smart enough in the streets to get around it, smart enough to stay outta trouble.. you know the lingo, the people, how to speak and what to say, who's who in that world.. getting your way, giving respect and being respected.. the second part of my comment does relay to criminal as in illegal activities, such as drug dealing, weaponry, pimpin' n stuff.. lol or par say other deep street activities
