Quote:Please define "cad."
My definition of cad is a careless man who uses people for his own advancement and doesn't consider their feelings.
In the case of the fictional character Thomas H. Chippering, he has the poorest social skills but for some reason is able to latch on to a very competant, smart and loving woman who tolerates his obsessing about his ex-wife who's dumped him. The book is a compendium on his trying to get her back but seeking revenge even though she's remarried.
Green Witch posted something about Lymonds, which defines a different sort of cad-- someone who's pretty smooth, dangerous.
I consider JR Ewing, Rhett Butler to come under the category too.
So post away, Merry one.
I'd say the a man who wouldn't come under the cad heading would be Fred McCmurray (sp?) in My Three Sons.
