I don't see how his being divorced has anything to do with it. You can look at that situation in two ways: that he's maybe "learned his lesson," or that he's divorced and he is a "failure" at marriage.
Same token for a never-married man: he can be looked upon as someone who isn't jaded because he's never been through a divorce, or he can be looked at as a man who is inexperienced and might not know how to deal with marital issues. All depends on one's personal perspective.
P.S. Also I must add that when I was younger I didn't think any differently than I do now. I don't think a man is more attractive the more notches he has on his bedpost; in fact, I would prefer a guy who doesn't think he has to prove his masculinity by screwing everything female. I mean, once you've done it, say, twice? I think most people pretty much have gotten the hang of it.
Having said that, a little bit of experience is nice, but certainly not mandatory.
Appears to just be an accident. We may never know. We certainly haven't been told the truth about what really happened on 911. But I don't think anyone has really gotten their face melted off for two weeks. Anytime that's happened to me, it's always been at least four weeks, maybe six.
The idea that men who are promiscuous are thought of highly by women
NOOOOO!! Not that they are thought of highly by WOMEN, but by other MEN! That's what I was referring to, anyway. I think men who screw around are trash.
I think the best advice I can give to men is that (and I'm presuming to speak for MOST women, not all), if she accepts an invitation to go out on a date with you, it's YOU that she's happy to be with, not the car you drive, nor the amount of money you spend on her, etc.
Tokens of affection are always appreciated, sure (like a single rose or a small box of candy or something; that's just an added touch that tells a lady that she's special to him) but, mainly it's YOU she is interested in.
I always took it for granted that a lot of the guys I went out with thought they were as wonderful as I thought they were; the more I observe on Internet dating sites, the less I'm thinking this.
Men are really a lot more vulnerable than I had originally thought, and really do seem to care what women's opinions are of him. The bad thing is, so many of them try to "impress" entirely the wrong way.
I was getting really scared my eyesight was getting worse. See, I have never worn glasses in my entire life, but, in the last year or so, I had to break down and start wearing those OTC magnifying glasses; you know, the kind you can get from Wal-Mart?
See, publishers of books, websites, and manufacturers of labels on products automatically distribute materials to over-40 adults with smaller and fuzzier font. They've got kind of a nefarious sense of humor, they do.
Well, the last week or so I was getting concerned -- scared, even -- because everything seemed to be getting blurrier and blurrier day by day.
But just a minute ago, I cleaned my glasses with some Windex. Wow! What a difference that makes. Those are LETTERS on the screen, not smudges! Man! That's a load off!
Come on, Tumpa...even though you're not a neanderthal, you must know that most (many) guys consider "getting lucky" as a badge of honor, "high-five" moment.
The worst dating "advice" and that, "surprisingly" continues to exist in these modern times, is the whole dating "rules" to begin with. The gender "roles," to be more specific. The ones that state a man's supposed to get what he can get whenever he can get it and then the completely asinine and absurd assumption that women should react to it by playing "hard to get."
Now, I ask you: What IDIOT came up with that one?
No damn wonder relationships and proper dating etiquette is so damned confusing. And it always will be so long as double standards like these exist.
If given an ultimatum, chances are he'll choose you. But ...if it were me, I'd still walk, because I'd never trust a two-timing SOB like that. Just my .02.
And, whatever you do, DON'T spill the beans. (Talk your head off if you must, but just don't spill the beans, because I just HATE IT when they yell "CLEANUP ON AISLE 7!")
Perfect. Yes, I have the bat belt, the cans and my pen with the invisible ink. Unfortunately, I had written down all of our initial plans with it, so we'll have to restrategize. And even major government co-conspirators have to get their rest. I hate to, but I've got to go nighty-night. Cover for me, would ya?

RE: What is the worst dating advice you've ever been given?
well, men see women who haven't been married as a red flag, too, if she's over 29. (Spinster?)And if she has children.
And if she's been divorced.
And if she lives with her parents.
And if she (fill in the blank).
