Try bringing home a boy/girlfriend. That'd go over real big

I think it is interesting that of all my divorced friends (of which there is a growing number) the men go into relationships as soon as they but the women mellow out and have no intention of going down that road again.
I think women are generally happy single. But men usually need a partner.

Multitude of reasons that I can see.
Women get their emotional support from their friends wheras men rely on their partners.
Women are more self sufficient whereas men tend to need someone else to push them/confirm them.
I read and article a few years back that surveyed the status of divorced couples 5 years later. Most of the women were still single, financially worse off but much happier.
The men were usually onto their next partner (or 2 or 3), more financially secure but more stressed and unhappy than when they were married.
I read another study once that said that divorce was often the first time a woman experienced freedom as most women go from being dependent on their parents to then being dependent on their partners.
Whereas men are usually breaking away from their parents earlier so they have a window of complete freedom before they get married.
And women just cope better than men with being single.
