[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are plenty of low self-esteem women out there that are willing to accept a messed up man.  That seems to be the case with my ex's new wife, who married him despite numerous red flags.  She is over 40 and desperate for one last chance to try to get pregnant.  She also comes from a culture where being partnered with a man is the ultimate accomplishment (despite the fact that she is an accomplished professional).

Conversely, I think divorced women are far less likely to get remarried to just any guy because, frankly, the economics and risks of marriage are just not favorable to women.  I can earn enough to take care of myself.  Tying myself legally to another guy just ups my risk.  I'd rather sleep with/partner with someone without the risk of having to go thru another split and come out with the short end of the stick (again).

I know men think that they're the ones that pay in divorce, but looking around, I see many women have to give up aspects of themselves and their careers in a relationship and then are not given equal assets in divorce and recompense and they end up old and poor.

Many older divorced women never re-marry because they just don't want to lose their lives again. [/quote]

As a divorced guy I'll be magnanimous and suggest that it's a bad proposition for both men and women. My own experience is that I provided 95% of the money to finance most the major purchases over 12 year marriage. According to no fault divorce she got 50% of the assets. So MY experience does not square with you're saying
