Sadly, there is gender equity in this area as well. I hadn't been separated from my wife more than a week before a couple of female co-workers tried to "comfort" me (one was married). Now, six months down the road with a single, that would have been another story. But the boldness I saw really amazed me.

Boldness goes hand in hand with what Don Meyers was saying about women having 'explored their sexuality'....the typical gal these days has been around the block a time or a hundred. Gross.

Guys are not particularly happy about the lack of ladies. I mean ladies in the truest sense of the word, not just females....don't be surprised. You should hear some of the gals I know talk. Some are worse than the horniest guy.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that. Guys who are going through a divorce can be a hot commodity -- its an interesting phenomenon. I remember women making passes at me that I would never have expected it from, before I was even divorced yet. Madness. It seems that there is something about a minty fresh divorcee that makes all kinds of women try and trade up. I have a reputation for being a nice guy and having a lot of other things that generally makes a guy marketable, but the sudden avalanche of attention from all directions weirded me out. Apparently I was more attractive to women at that stage than in any other status I've been in.

ObDisclosure: I was married briefly when I was young and stupid. No kids or bitterness or anything -- I didn't get raped over it. Ignoring the fact that we should never have gotten married, she was mostly an honorable girl.
