Men are More Likely to Remarry

While it sometimes seems that women are the more commitment-minded of the sexes, it appears that it’s the other way around!!!
Recently, Date.com, Matchmaker.com, and Amor.com, teamed up to poll their members to see who would be willing to give marriage a second chance after a divorce.
Check out the results, when asked if they would remarry after a divorce:
Men
Yes 65.4%
No 23.1%
Only if adoption of children are involved 7.7%
Only if the couple is younger than 55 3.8%
Women
No 40.6%
Yes 28.1%
Only if the couple is younger than 55 18.8%
Only if adoption of children are involved 15.6%
There’s definitely a disparity between the sexes! One that, quite honestly, I didn’t see coming! What do you all think about these results?

I absolutely agree with this survey. I am in the 40.6% and have been for 15 years, while my ex was remarried within two months of our divorce being finalized. I finished raising our children, excelled in my job, learned who I really was (married at 20, divorced at 40) and followed my dreams, my passions without anybody telling me I couldn’t for whatever reason. I have many, many women friends in this same group. I have dated, I have been in a few serious relationships but I don’t believe that I will ever marry again. I’m beyond precreation (been there, done that, not even physically possible anymore) I own my home, and frankly, I’m not as compromisable as I used to be. It takes a lot more than a cute butt and a hot car to get my motor running now. I also have many male friends that I meet for dinner, drinks, dancing, travel, movies, etc. but it really is platonic. I realized at a large dinner party that I had slept with about 8 of the men there, no sex, just slept because we are very comfortable traveling together and sharing space. It’s a darn good life and I’ve yet to meet anybody that would enhance my life that I have created to bring in intimately, long term.
