My #2 was a response and encouragement for this :
And the article was suppose to be a prospective on how dag might view breakup.
Some people see the EX in that old role .....the romantic desire is still there ....memories of the good time are still there ....and they relive the pain knowing what is / was lost. And let's be honest it makes a huge difference who broke up with whom.
There's plenty of woman I broke up with that I could easily be friends with and there's one woman who broke up with me ...." The one that got away " there was no way in hell I'd could do that.
I'm not sure how spot these guys? I guess just assume 95% are like that.
Isn't that the mantra ...men are pigs
Yes commitment phobic meaning not wanting a wife and kids. Depending on the age bracket they may have done that and got burned. I don't think it necessarily mean not dealing if you're having a bad day. What kind of slob would blow off your birthday. I got vetoed because I gave " too nice of gifts " and our dates were " too " something. So I guess it swings both ways.
I will say it might be hard to getting " single guy " to formal event during the summer months.....weddings, showers, anniversary parties. Those things always seem to be a nice days when there are a million things you'd rather do.
I don't think the sexual health issue can be generalized as a group.
I think it's the character of the person and possibly you'd get a glimpse from the people they run with. Big drinkers, big parties better use condoms til you get a feel for how words and actions line up. One drunken bachelor can put a dent in a few lives.
But that is something I need to stop doing, assuming everyone is thinking and feeling the way I do about things! So. If a single guy messages me despite the fact that I'm married, doesn't balk when I casually mention my husband in texts, and still wants to go out with me? I'm just going to take it at face value, that he'd like to have a drink or two and get to know me.

Any tips on how to spot these guys so I can run far, far away
In all seriousness... That is my fear, and the reason I've never dated single guys. If "commitment phobic" just means they don't want to get married or have kids, then cool. But if it means they don't want to deal with me if I'm having a bad day, or have to bother showing up for my birthday? Been there, done that, and all I have left are a bunch of his t-shirts
My other big worry about single guys is sexual health stuff. Obviously married poly guys might have just as many or more current partners. But usually someone who has been in a poly/open marriage is at least used to disclosing other partners and safe sex practices. I worry that single men will have a "none of your damn business" attitude.
And I worry about health stuff. Not irrationally, but it's a concern. I'd like partners who were honest about their sex lives, because that lets me make good choices for myself. Someone only has sex with me and their mono wife? Ok, fluid bonding is something I'd consider. If instead that wife had 3 or 4 other partners, I'd keep the condoms on. I'll admit there's also a point - if someone was constantly adding new partners, or having frequent one night stands with strangers - where I'd pass on sex entirely, condoms aren't 100%. So, yeah, stuff I'd like to know.
I'm not sure how spot these guys? I guess just assume 95% are like that.
