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.
