266-daughter/girl

[matilda]

Hello all

I want to say that Mr. X married 3 times with 3 girls who didn't have married life before, and marring with Mr. X was their first experience. Which of the following forms can I use to say this sentence?

Married 3 times with 3 … …, it looks like Mr. X is no stranger to the attention of leading loving ladies.

a) daughters
b) girls

Regards

Matilda

Married three times with three virgins.

If the girls died or divorsed him one after the other, I would say Mr. X likes green leaves.

If not, I would say he's a bigamist.

You could use 'maidens' there, but 'girls' is probably enough.

Why do you prefer "maiden" over "virgin" TDol ?

The two are synonym of each other.

Not quite. A virgin has never had intercourse, a maiden has never been married.

[Tdol]

'Maiden' also seems more discreet.

Got it, sometimes it's better not to call a cat a cat

[Miner49'er]

Not quite. A virgin has never had intercourse, a maiden has never been married.

My dictionary says otherwise though

maid-en (madn)n. 1. An unmarried girl or woman. A virgin.

Mr X has been married three times, his brides all being virgins.

This thread is interesting, but I'm stumped by the sentence in bold? Please shed some light, someone?
