I'm going to tap out now, I can't follow your logic.
My logic is that teaching someone about "bad people" doesn't lead to the conclusion that they will date well.
When that same boy meets a little minx that is far more experienced than he, and perhaps even has cruel intentions, that sort of teaching won't make a bit of difference.
Personally, I think the whole puritanical attitude about alcohol in the United States is what causes the problem. If you grow up with a bottle of wine on the dinner table as a normal thing and don't treat alcohol as some horrible sin, we wouldn't have teen binge drinking.
I agree and it frankly used to annoy me when people would get all prudish about alcohol, typically the bible thumper set, but after I gave it a thought, most of these types of people are the ones that have had destructive relationships with people that had problems with the bottle.
People that have a few glasses of wine here and there throughout a week aren't horrible people to avoid, at least in my experiences.
I'm wondering what I should tell my son if/when he asks me about dating and different types of women. I want the best for him but I don't really know what I should tell him. How should I advise him as to which women to go for and which types to avoid?
I told mine to stay away from crazy bytches. But of course they have to be thinking with their big heads to do that.

Most normal sons don't look to their mothers for advice about women. In fact, most of them are interested in the kind of women they know their mothers would not like. If they have any sense, they'd do their best to never let their mothers know anything about who they are seeing. I learned this through bad personal experience. Women should be spared having to deal with mothers-in-law. Just the fact that the OP is suggesting that she would have a say in who her son chooses, shows her intentions.
As has been mentioned, by the time one is dating they should have some ideas about what kind of people they are more and less compatible with.
Of course, people change over time.
And we should always be reassessing our thought about the world we live in. So, it's good to interact with different people and even people you might disagree with; you might find that certain people you didn't like previously make more sense to you now.
Most people start dating in their teens. They do not know themselves, much less what kind of people they are compatible with. Sometimes they do not even know for sure which sex they are compatible with and if they are straight, gay, or bisexual.
However as you say people change over time. This is a point for not marrying too young, before middle 20s. It is as much about maturity and learning how to compromise and work together when you do not agree as it is about changing viewpoints and opinions. People can change opinions to agree or disagree. That does not necessarily make them compatible or incompatible depending on what it is. It is really about character, temperament, and approach to life.

That's a good point actually..... I just assumed it was a bloke asking
I'll take Seijas word for it....So thank you for the clarification ( Edit just checked it is a bloke 1000000% )
Assuming he's of appropriate age, buy him a big box of condoms, and tell him to experience them all. Variety is the spice of life. He'll then figure out what he likes for himself.
Hmm, well I was too lazy to go through the posts to see how old your son is, if you posted it . However, he needs to just go out there and chase what he likes. Chances are he goes for a girl who's a looker and not much else. Not trying to single out your son but most guys at a younger age go for the pretty women, maybe hes not into that. He needs to learn through experience.
You don't think that men make different decisions when they are sexually aroused by a person?
This is plain naivety.
Dating is it's own particular, entirely.
Nah.
If you've learned to be skilled at reading people, have insight to others' character, and have developed the ability to make sound character judgments, you have the life skills necessary to surround yourself with quality people. Period.
You either do or don't exercise good judgment about people. The, "I have good judgment, but it all goes out the window when aroused," argument doesn't wash. If this is you, you don't have good judgment.
