"Sex was a given, no need to shower, shave, appear desirable, or even interested. And definitely no need to think about her feelings, wants, desires, or idiosyncrasies on a second by second basis."

Dang, if you had put just a little effort into cleaning yourself up and acting interested in her feelings, wants, and desires you would find yourself having to date after divorce.

Nope. I quit.
I found that the common element to all my failed relationships was me.

LOL, my thoughts too! I think his new guide should be to shower and not be so self absorbed, maybe that will make the relationship last longer.

I laughed at that line, too.

Selfishness causes divorce, and he doesn't sound like he's picked up on that fact.

You’re not even sure if you’re desirable anymore

Just checked my wallet. Nope.

Also, truth be told, if we’re completely candid with ourselves, we’ve been spoiled and pampered, accustom to having someone take care of us, make sure that our socks matched, that we didn’t embarrass ourselves at that party. Sex was a given, no need to shower, shave, appear desirable, or even interested.. And definitely no need to think about her feelings, wants, desires, or idiosyncrasies on a second by second basis.

This guy sounds like a real winner. Is it any wonder that he's not still married? I sure wouldn't be taking his advice about anything.

If I ever found myself single again, God forbid, I would never date. Never. Ever ever.

I think that hell must be eternal dating. What a friggin nightmare.

Do more than simply pick lint from your bellybutton.

Good advice. Women like to talk, chat and be sociable. I've had a few dates that went like this:

ME: What do you typically do on your off-time?

HIM: Nothing much.

ME: Well...do you have friends/family that keep you busy?

HIM: Not really.

ME: Is there any place you dream of going or anything you've always wanted to do.... but couldn't until now?

HIM: I don't think about it much...

*DEAD AIR*

What's a gal supposed to do with that? I appreciate articles like this because it gives me a little more insight into the male species. *chuckle*

Is this the same guy?

As for challenges, Fleming said he's very concerned with the environmental turnaround of the Bush Administration in the United States coupled with a slowing world economy and implications on environmental and water treatment spending that's largely regulatory driven. "Ignoring politics, I think everybody would agree it really is clear the Bush Administration has pulled back on a lot of environmental drivers," Fleming said. Still, he doesn't expect that to stop his company from reaching its goal of $1 billion in sales and possibly pursuing an independent path within five years.

Dating is fun.

I'd be nice if the date actually shows up as promised to find out if dating is fun.

Dating is an evolutionary experience.

My first date didn't even bother to show up. So, my first experience was a horrible one.

So, we’re generally ill – equipped to approach that most sophisticated and evolved of all animals, the single American female.

Way too much credit given to single women here. We are not so itimidating. We have cartloads of insecurities and will compromise important dreams too easily and then distrust our own judgement... or I do anyway.

Thimk of all the mistakes being made by single women that are undermining our country's social and economic structures.. unwed motherhood, living with bums and predators and increasing drug and alcohol abuse.

Don't be afraid.. but, please, be careful.

Yes, he picks up on it. He has regrets for not appreciating what he had as a good thing when he had it...

Overall, I think this is a good article.

Either this is irony--and I don't think so--or he is telling the world what a lousy husband he was...

Of course it's an admission .. how could anyone honestly say that without realizing what he is saying? I'm sure he gets it, otherwise he would be too clueless to know that that is what had become of him. And it's not just about him, it's about divorced men in general, back in their pre-divorce phase.

Sex was a given

The author lost his credibility with this statement. ;-)
