Why would a guy date a very experienced woman but avoid a divorced woman?

MY QUESTION: For a committed relationship, why would a guy pursue a very experienced woman but avoid a divorced woman?

[worldscolide]

When I was dating, it depended on the number of divorces and the reasons for them.

For example if she got divorced because she was a cheater, huge red flag. If she's been divorced multiple times, huge red flag. My reason for this one is one or two divorces, not her fault more than that and there is likely something wrong with her. On top of that where a marriage between two people who never divorced is either 46 or 48% chance of failure, dating with the intent to marry someone who has been divorced the chances of another divorce/failure is in the high 80%. And if they have been divorced twice that jumps to 95%.

So the ROI is not good when dating someone who has been divorced.

Not saying all are that way, it's just statistics you can pull from the national census, and the department of children and families.

Define experienced. If we're talking about sexually, then I would much rather avoid that than a divorced woman who has only been with one of a couple guys.

If we're talking about life experience, I don't see any issue with the life experience other than the fact she won't have many "first experiences" with me.

Either way, less experienced is generally better in most aspects in my opinion.

Many guys may overgeneralize and believe that all divorced women are bitter old bitches who hate men, based on the experience of having met one or two of those tortured souls. I know that most women are not like that, but affairs of the heart rarely follow logical guidelines.

Some Christian denominations believe it's wrong for a man to marry, or even get involved with, a divorced woman because God doesn't recognize divorce so she's still married to her first husband. I'd avoid both of the women in this question.

What do you mean by 'experienced'? It could likely be due to an unrelated component.

[DishLady]

Experienced like "more than lightly worn" ...

[spartan55]

I don't know what you mean. 😁

[DishLady]

Ok. . .

Trying to joke with you here DishLady.

Question, does the divorced woman have kids?

[slatyb]

Because he's not attracted to her. Does she have children at home? Does the other woman?

[exitseven]

It depends how many times she has been divorced and does she have any kids?

[whosnumber_1]

I'd date both no problem

Who knows, is it mainly about sex?
