I'd bet that the reason it's hard to find an available man who wants an LTR is because those guys spend very little time "on the market" before they're snapped up by someone. The unavailable men who don't want an LTR spend more time "on the market" because they want to date and stay on the market, so women go on more dates with those type of men.
I would tend to agree with this. I think that for most people that have split, especially men, that they look quickly to fill that hole in their lives.
That's one of the reasons I promised my kids that I would make no significant decisions for at least a year. However there are a number of men I know of just in my "friend of a friend" circle who hooked up with a new partner pretty much before the imprint of their ex's head was off the pillow.
Combine that as well with my own experience that the longer I spend time by myself, the more I like it.
So you've got the guys who
Get snapped up right away
Were divorced for the fact that they are a lousy partner
The players who are just in it for the poontang
The guys who are living their lives and not really looking
The last category you'll pretty much only find in the wild and not online I would expect. I know that I got rid of my OLD profiles some time ago. Which leaves most of the OLD pool being in the second and third categories.
