Would you "go for" someone who had been divorced four times? (marriages, guy)

Social Security benefits for the survivor of the deceased.
Only if you are married for 10 years or longer...going on marriage number 5...the odds are slim that any of his marriages lasted for ten years and that this new one will either. He sounds like a serial marrier, once he nabs em, he moves onto his next target.

What's the benefit to him of being a serial marrier (Assuming he isn't scamming the women out of money.)
Marriage is a sacred vowe among two people who love each other and have promised to love and look after each other through sickness and health, until death do they depart. My wife and I will have been married for 20 years this November 2013, we are soul mates and will be together forever.
To many people use the the word 'Love' too much without knowing what it truly means to be able to share that word with someone! So I say unless there is a very good reason for divorce or several good reasons for several divorces, divorce is not really an option if the couple follows their vows and follow the 10 commandments as a guide to a good marriage. All problems encountered in a marriage can be avoided early if the couple are in tune with one another and even when things do go wrong, being able to open yourselves up to truely wanting to fix the problem is the secret to a long marriage.
Be careful with this person as he has a very bad track record, which may lead you to become his next statistic. Good luck.

That's too bad. What happens if you stop loving each other after five years? You want to be miserable for the next 50?

If this is true (which I have no doubt it is), your marriage vows are irrelevant.And, if it isn't true, your marriage vows are irrelevant.

If you think you know what "love" means, then you don't know what "love" means.

What does "good" mean?
follow the 10 commandments
I take this to mean that you are superstitious.

There are a couple exceptions like "I hate her guts." and "I don't love you anymore."
With all the red flags, you could make a quilt! How is his finances? Is he paying alimony? How many kids does he have? From how many of the marriages? Does he see his kids? Are the kids young enough that one has custody? With that many wives, he could have custody of kids every weekend. How many kids does the OP's friend have? How many times has she been divorced? So many things to think about not even mentioned in this thread yet.
Interesting questions and here are the answers from what I know:
He is a millionaire and a high level executive of a Fortune 500 Company
He has no kids under 18 and two kids over 21
The friend of my wife who is thinking about marriage with this guy (Mr. Divorce) has two adult kids
She (the lady who may marry the man who keeps divorcing women) lost her only husband to cancer five years ago, never divorced.
Both my wife and I when we were talking on the way home from meeting Mr. Divorce were shocked that he had been divorced so many times. He was so nice, charming, handsome and down to earth. Just by meeting him without knowing his history you would think he was just wonderful.

People do many odd things that provide no benefit. He may just be a hunter type, and, we really don't know, he may be a con man, who does reap monetary benefits due to his marriages.
Whatever the reasons are, my gut would tell me to pass, no reason to marry him or IMO anyone at that age and with that track record.
