This is all I find in the dating pool. And I should probably refrain
I have a theory about this.
Given how Western society generally regards "separated" as more or less the same as "divorced", a lot of the people who are interested in a long term relationship can - and presumably do - jump right into one pretty quickly. So that winnows out the keen and the easily matched up with presumably like-minded individuals at a point in their recovery where "the rules" say to stay away.
From my reading elsewhere the "less keen" - and I'll toss myself into that category - may have dabbled in OLD off and on but are generally absent from that particular pool. So many of the fully divorced, "done the work" sort of people are living their lives outside of the pond.
So that leaves the ones who are in it for some quick booty, the ones who have some sort of fundamental flaw, along with the abandoned profiles, the scammers and the robots. Finding someone who took the time after their last relationship ended, waited for the divorce to sort itself out which can literally take years, and then consider putting themselves "out there" in OLD, while already having proven to themselves that they can get along perfectly fine on their own are the rare tosheroon in the muck at the bottom of the pond.
Just my 2 cents.
