The issue is not on action. But having the maturity to accept that it is a possibility and a matter which is seen as acceptable.
Half the time here women run down men, yet men are open to the different challenges life offers us. Ask a woman if she would marry a divorced a man on this website and I bet half the women here will say hell no the others would make comments on why he would be a bad husband because he is already divorced.
The issue is action because they speak louder then words.
Its one thing to sympathize and pretend to be accepting and another entirely to take these women home to your parents.
