[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men need marriage more than women do. Women do it so they can have kids. Men do it so someone will take care of them. When a husband dies, a woman usually takes her time to get remarried, if at all. When a woman dies, the man usually starts dating and remarries  quickly.[/quote]

Total bullshit. Single men "take care of themselves" just fine.

Men get married because they want sex and affection. Tragically this usually dries up after a few years when the woman gets bored and knows that now she's got him hooked, she doesn't have to provide sex and there's nothing he can do about it unless he wants to give her half his shit.

The difference in remarriage rate is due to the difference in attractiveness. Older men remain attractive, so they can get remarried. Older women, not so much.[/quote]

I think for women with enough income to support themselves comfortably, they may not see value in getting married again.

Women end up doing more of the home work anyway and now you have to adjust to another person’s preferences and whims again.  What’s the point?[/quote]

I think this is it for me.  I make enough money to support myself, so if I ever got divorced from my husband at this stage I just can't see myself bothering to date again.  I think I would have enough in my life, dating just sounds like so much drama, I just couldn't be bothered.  I would rather concentrate on family, friends, travel and hobbies.  [/quote]

+1.  I especially agree with the drama comment.  I hear what the men want in a woman after divorce here on DCUM and it just seems like too much drama.  I mean let them go find what they want, be it younger woman or someone who weighs less than 120 lbs. etc., All of those requirements sound like someone who is high maintenance.  Why do it?  [/quote]
