In her recent book The Starter Marriage and the Future of Matrimony, trend analyst and journalist Pamela Paul points out that many young couples today are getting hitched and then quickly dissolving their marriages before having any children. As a consequence, once-wedded men and women in their 20s and 30s are reentering the dating scene with divorce papers already in their filing cabinets. So we asked Cosmo readers, would you get involved with someone who has already been married?

YES: divorce isn't a deterrent

"I would date someone who was married because it is not so much his past that would matter but my love for him now and our future together."-- Linda, 22

"You can't control who you fall in love with--and it may be someone who has already been married."--Lisa, 18

"It's not always the man's fault that a marriage didn't work out. Plus, he can change. A divorce may even make him better, knowing what went wrong before."--Tiffani, 22
