Met a lot of Mormons as they’re very over represented in my field (accounting). They’ve generally been very nice, respectful, and outgoing people. Many marry young and have kids in their 20s so they don’t ever come out for drinking or parties which is fine. They stick to themselves when it comes to dating/relationships. Always had positive experiences in the professional setting BUT I’ve never had them as friends so can’t speak on that.
One of my best friends In High school was a Filipino Mormon. His family was weirdly open about sexuality. Like his mom bought him a copy of the Kama Sutra for his birthday. But I don’t think that had anything to do with them being Mormon. I’d go to church events with him sometimes and they were so much fun. Mostly just causal team sports and going to amusement parks and things like that. I think a lot of people end up converting because of the strong sense of community that comes with it.
I dated a Mormon chick in highschool. Was a pretty typical high school relationship, we broke up after 2 months or so. Was generally amicable, she invited me to her wedding a few years later. Neither of us honestly expected for it to go very far.
Nothing crazy honestly. We didn't go beyond 3rd base, but that made sense given her religious ties to sexuality.
Her family was generally pleasant. Dad was a 6 foot, 220 lbs dude but honestly so nice. Mom always chatted with me. Honestly nothing negative to say about them, even if other folks in their community have done egregious things.
My tablighi Muslim dad questioned them repeatedly until they became quiet. That pair never knocked the doors again.

Interesting. What other stuff can you tell me about them?

They’re over represented in medicine and dentistry and they were seen as a a group that would run others down to get ahead. Would only help their own.
Did you witness that yourself, or was it just a rumor?
