[quote=Anonymous]What I see is this among friends is this: most independently wealthy women have zero reason to remarry and rarely do. They know they won’t get a caregiver if they remarry a man their own age, and more often than not the man just wants a caregiver. Helping their own children is their highest priority, and that includes preserving their financial assets to help their kids. These women are usually in good shape and attractive, and get a lot of suitors, but at most engage in long-term companionship relationships. They have no need for marriage and will never remarry.

Women who are divorced but left with fewer financial assets are conversely very interested in re-marrying. They need the financial security and are willing to be a caregiver to a wealthier man in exchange for that financial security. This group is often laser-focused on remarrying. DCUM skews wealthy so you don’t see this group as represented here, but they are a large group.

For men, it depends on how much caregiving and support they want and need, across the wealth spectrum. I’ve seen very wealthy men dive almost immediately into second marriages without even pre-nups because they cannot manage daily life without a caregiver wife. Preservation of wealth for their children isn’t as important to this group. For men, wealth is a secondary consideration to the larger question of how much caregiving they need and want, so the men don’t divide as much between independently wealthy and not the way women do. It’s more a question of how much caregiving they want regardless of wealth.

So in short the dividing factors in whether a divorced person is interested in remarrying are generally different between men and women. For women, the main factor is how independently wealthy they are. For men, the main factor is how independently competent they are. [/quote]
