[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, ladies but men have a lot easier of a time rebounding after divorce than you do. [/quote]

NP and have not read the rest of the thread. This does not track in my experience. I think the divorced women I know in their 50s-70s are literally the happiest people I know.

[b]It is true they have no interest in remarriage[/b]. The men do remarry quickly, but they aren’t happily remarried for the most part. [/quote]

I’ve found this to also be true of most financially secure widowed women that age. [/quote]

I think this is true of most financially secure divorced women as well.  All my friends who are comfortable have zero interest in remarriage.  It’s the women who are struggling that want it.[/quote]

Can confirm that this is true for me: thanks to a family trust I am enjoying being single in my 40s after a divorce, taking lovers as I please, and never ever marrying again. It’s the friends who need to remarry for financial stability who are choking down all the duds in online dating. That isn’t for me. [/quote]

Just an observation that if a man posts about “taking lovers as I please”, there are endless posts about disease and what an a$$hole he is. On the other hand, if a woman posts about “taking lovers as I please”, there is no reaction. Interesting lack of consistency.

One benefit to having divorced is far more frequent and varied sex, that is for certain. [/quote]

Probably because I didn’t shamelessly trot out actual numbers or their actual ages- whereas men seem to enjoy bragging about quantity and age of their conquests. Lover also sounds respectful and mutual compared to the men bragging : “slept with 10 or 20 women 20 or so years younger” sounds pathetic and predatory.

But also, you gave my post like 20 min before declaring a double standard. People probably just hadn’t yet had time to slut shame me. Or, try. It will come. No one feels bad for men being called sluts when slut shaming of women is as old as time. Sorry, mate.
