Contrary to what you might believe, most divorcees are none too eager to hop into another committed relationship after dissolving their marriages.
It has long been believed that anyone who finds themselves single again after a messy divorce is automatically looking to fill the void in their heart with another long-term relationship. That they’ve gone looking for love, hopefully in all the right places this time, and will once again, very soon, be back on the couch with their sweetie, doing that Netflix and chill thing before heading to bed for cuddle time.
However, it seems that this is just another tired wad of gobbledygook, up there with “the United States is a Christian nation” or “there’s no way President Trump is in the Epstein Files.” According to a new study published in the Journal of Family Issues, many previously married individuals—particularly women—have given up on romance, opting for something else instead of a second chance at love.
“I didn’t want to get back into anything long-term after my divorce. I went and had myself a good time, a real good time.”

Yale sociologists found that more than 70 percent of single women who’ve already done the marriage thing aren’t itching to try again. They’ve been there, done that, and while being there and doing that—although the scientists didn’t explicitly make an argument for this theory—they presumably missed out on threesomes, orgies, bathroom-stall backdoor adventures and other wild times. They’ve spent enough nights decaying on the couch after a real whopper of a meatloaf night, and now it’s time for meat every night. “I didn’t want to get back into anything long-term after my divorce,” Mindy, 54, tells HUSTLERMagazine.com. “I went and had myself a good time, a real good time.”
