How much does her past matter?

That depends on if he is trying to turn a ho into a housewife. If he does not care, than the past is the past, and we all now believe in redemption on this forum, right? If he wants a doting Stepford wife, then he should move along.

As Graft said, the men who congregate here seem to be a different specimen of manosphere than the average dude on the street

To us, she can’t be normal. She had to have had issues getting into stripping in the first place, and then seeing what she has, she’s going to have flashbacks the rest of her life. Not to mention the indignity of marrying a high notch girl

For the everyday cat on the street, if their content with the girl it doesn’t matter

Because the cousin wants to believe the girl is changed, and therefore doesn’t seem as hung up, I’d just think he should take a lot more time before marrying the girl, and knowing her long term nature

The key issue is that she lied. This means she will lie about other things too. Given the nature of the lie, they are likely to be sexual things.

Run, don't walk.

I agree, if she brought up the subject with something like "back in college, I needed extra money so I would strip in the summer. It was a rough business, but a good way to make fast money. I had a couple of close calls that woke me up and I stopped. I wouldn't be caught dead doing it again" it would be different.

In that case, she would be upfront about it, own it and likely have developed some street smarts in the process. If she hides it, to me it means that she would be keeping that type of option open in case she needed it again.

Being open about a crappy past goes a long way to building trust. I would tell girls early on about how I cheated on my wife and we divorced. It would grate them for probably 10 whole seconds before they would start to spill their own horrible stories.

This chick hid/lied about being a stripper, it means she still has issues with it, would still do it or did a whole lot more worse things than just 'stripping'

Comparing a man's past to a woman's past, and how either sex theoretically or hypothetically feels about it, is another huge biological difference. And the importance of it (the woman's past) is orders of magnitude greater, for the obvious reasons that you all already know.
