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.

I acknowledged my mistake about the OP's gender in a follow-up post, but another moderator chose to delete it, saying it was off-topic.
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've only read this first post ^^^^. If it hasn't been covered ten times by now:
I have to assume your son is a teenager. He needs to go out and experience many different women in some form, over the next several years.....to figure it out. As a parent you can't really meddle in these things effectively.

I'm not a parent, but I would tend to agree with your post here. The best a parent can do is to try and instill a good operating mode of behavior and hope their kids look for similar things in a potential partner. Lead the kid to water, but you can't make him drink.....
Tell your son to always wear a rubber to avoid pregnancy/having to pay child support and never try to change a loose party woman into being a loyal wife. If he lives by those basic rules, he'll be OK
Raising a child and helping to make a relatively happy responsible adult is a serious decades-long job. I think so, anyway. I put some thought into what I would like my daughter to know when/ if she asks for advice or my opinion.
OP: How did you get to this age, have a son, and not know anything about women, or so little that you'd ask strangers?

start by telling him to guard his heart carefully. next ell him to open up his mind, and pay attention to details, and to judge people by the content of their character. when he finds a good woman of good character, and one that is attracted to him as well, to hold on to her for as long as possible.

Could you define a woman of good character, and a woman of bad character?
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.
Okay, so you have said that you don't believe sexuality impacts on a persons judgment.
Therefore, you aren't in a position to even teach a younger person, because you haven't even been in that position yourself (which I don't even believe).
And the "quality" argument is a complete nonsense. Interest-level is paramount. And that is what people should be filtering for.
