It's part of the overall shaming language many women use when they want you to do things that mainly benefit them. It's similar to how not being down for marriage is now seen as "misogynist", or "he must be gay "or "bitter"because of not wanting to tie the knot. Umm....No I'm smart because I see it for the one sided fraud that it is

I don't use the phrase (not in my thoughts, either), but there are many people who I consider undateable. Some examples:
- habitual liars
- people engaged in illegal activity
- people with almost any addiction, including legal ones
- people who spout PUA/MRA myths, or try to act on them
- people whose default mode of interaction with strangers and loved ones is not kind, compassionate, empathetic, etc.
- people who believe that all human interactions and relationships are unequal ('Someone always comes out on top').
It's not surprising that it sounds like incoherent garble to you since you do not know the difference between singulars and plurals within the English language. Sorry I had to call you on it, but any avid Internet poster should know better. As to the content of your post, you didn't answer the question. I don't take the question as to whether a person is someone you would date or not. A retired 75 year old school teacher is not someone you would date and that wouldn't make her damaged goods. I don't get how a single/divorced woman with kids is damaged goods...even if she would want to date you, although there are obviously many single/divorced women with kids who would not date you. Referring to these people as damaged goods is not something I can understand.
I suppose this sentiment can really be applied to anyone in this thread. Does a personal preference relegate a human being as damaged goods? As JJ mentioned earlier, if that's the case then everyone on the planet is damaged goods and that's just stupid.
One man might think a single mother as garbage while some other men might see some single mothers as treasure. Everyone has some sort of baggage. No one is not perfect. Hell I even see people with elitest mind sets as damage goods.
Damaged goods are the dented cans of beans on the shelf at the grocery that I leave there most of the time but not always. Then there are the boxes that were accidentally cut open when the case was being opened, and the vehicle on the car lot that was hit by large pieces of hail....
Damaged goods to me would be a woman that slept with one of my friends. I wouldn't ever call her that in public or make a bad name for her, but that would be the person that would fall into that phrase for me. I couldn't imagine calling someone "damaged goods" unless they had done something really bad to me.
-drug abuse outside alcohol and a bit of weed
-mental issues
-major health issues
-crazy family
-women with kids already.
-multiple failed relationships and promiscuity.
