Seeking pre-broken BETAS

Advice from a female "dating coach" concerning why women should pursue divorced men:
He has been broken down! Divorced men understand what it's like to be in a committed relationship within which there are compromises and accommodations. His resistance has already been broken down by another woman so that you don't have to endure the push back yourself.
And women wonder why men might be on a bit of a marriage strike these days. Any woman who wishes to avoid "resistance" to her wishes is fundamentally unworthy of marrying.

This is further evidence in support of the BETA BUX concept.

Ah, more craziness of the American woman on display for our viewing pleasure. Does their nuttiness never cease?

Laurel House, the "dating coach," is pretty cute and while she may be unworthy of marrying, surely she's worthy of a ONS.

Well, she couldn't be much more blunt than that, unless she just said, "As a divorced man, odds are his balls have already been removed and stored in a jar which the courts will pass along from his ex-wife's custody to yours."

One problem with the phenomenon of people making a living at blogging and things like online "dating coach" is that quantity is often more important than quality. For the sake of SEO and ad traffic, they have to push articles whether they have anything to say or not. A content-free (but keyword-heavy) article is better than nothing. She (or the writer in the Philippines to whom this was likely outsourced for $1/hour) could use these exact same bullet points, with different blurbs, for an article against dating divorced men -- and maybe at some point she will -- because there's no real content here. It's pure link/SEO bait.

Even if you take her advice on its own terms, it only applies if the man was frivorced. If his ex divorced him for good cause (abuse, adultery, addiction), the next woman isn't likely to have any better luck with him. And if he decided to get out, he's not likely to be pre-broken.

I like her odds. Seen lots of divorce in my circle of friends, and I haven't seen one yet that involved any of those. Except, of course, nearly every one involved adultery on the woman's side. Apparently Oprah said it was okay to cheat on your husband if you love him but you're not "in love" with him any more.

25 years ago I was working with an old Navy retired chief. At the time I was pretty blue pill, and was a little shocked when he told me marriage, as an institution in the US, was on its deathbed. "What you don't realize," he sad, "because you have a job and go to work every day, is that daytime television is one unrelenting stream of man-bashing. If you wife doesn't work she's spending the entire day listening to people tell her she can do better than you."

Don't know any divorced men. I would imagine a lot of them are embittered and as a result, less willing to compromise.

As for the women... do they really want a guy with all kinds of baggage and very likely a good deal of debt?

Oh, hehe, that's sweet. Any woman who finds such a man in the bargain bin will get the exact value for which she paid. Misery loves company. I, for one, will not stop anyone truly wishing to jump off a cliff. In some instances... I don't mind watching though. Used to be to... get a bargain lay myself. Now it's purely for viewing pleasure.

Don't forget your lap dog, "lady", on your way down!

Exactly.

My gut reaction upon reading this was "Surely no one takes Mizz House's 'advice' seriously. She obviously doesn't know the first thing about men. What a moronette!"

A cursory glance at the comments following up the article seem to indicate that no, indeed, no one takes her seriously. This appears to be a heartening indicator that common(?) sense is at least a little more common than I thought and that there just might be reason to confer a soupcon of hope in humanity.

The advice might seem offensive, but it is one of logic. The only reason for the large quantity of single people is the number of people who left long-term relationships. They are ripe for new long-term relationships.

A divorced man is more likely to remarry than a divorced women. The advice is along the same line.

these entitled princesses are so brazen these days in their contempt for men, it still surprises me.
