Would you date a past cheater?

A guy I've only just started speaking to has said he's cheated in previous relationships, said it was in part due to his upbringing and how adults in his life objectified women or something like that. And as a result he's lied and cheated in relationships he's had before. He's said he's changed and understands his past mistakes and learned from them. What are your thoughts? Could you date a reformed cheater? Or does a leopard never change its spots?
