I hope you say that the next time a girl comes onto the forum and asks "this guy I'm interested has slept with 25 women in the last year should I give him a chance?":

My advice would be the same.

"Find Another" - My Dad

This behavior uncommon?

keep telling yourself that (It's actually pretty funny).

Its more common than ever, in my life i've found the exception to be life abroad (heh, that was kind of a double entendre), that discussion is something entirely different. Again we can agree to disagree, a woman making a bad choice in a male should be noted for that (that's not outside of her control). People need to be held accountable for bad/horrible behavior that's occurring in the present.

I can't help but laugh every time that I hear "buuuuuut i''mmmmmm aaa goooooood persssssoonn!"

please.

The difference is that no one labels him "damaged goods." By the OP's definition I am damaged goods several times over b/c I am divorced and take meds for ADD. Whatever. I didn't want to date him anyway.

you can die from misery as well.

assuming you'd be in misery as you know nothing about every single woman who's had these issues. but keep acting like you do.

I''m sure you've managed to deal with divorce and have relationships after the fact. If so, this is shocking news to the OP.

Held accountable how, exactly? Wearing a scarlet letter? Public shaming?

EVERYONE has made mistakes, if they choose not to learn from them than that's on them. But I'm not going to judge someone for admitting that they've made some bad decisions in the past, learned from them and moved on.

No, why become the 26th as he goes on to the 27th?

I got enough problems dealing with my own issues; much less someone elses.
As long as you don't expect someone else to deal with yours, sounds fair.

What story are you imagining? Because I don't think you're putting enough thought into this. Sometimes, a person might seem GREAT and turn out to be a bad choice. To say that one can always know whether another person is going to be good to them (or whatever standard you're holding them to) is quite unrealistic. Yes, sometimes, there are signs that you shouldn't get with a particular person. But they're not always there; and you can't fault someone for not seeing signs that aren't there.

I don't even know what subject you're on at this point, wordlife... But I agree that people should be held accountable for present behavior wholeheartedly.
