“A lot of divorces are the result of men manipulating women into seeking out another man and thereby the men preserve their assets.”
The women still get the house, money, and kids; what are you talking about?
If you have any doubt as to who seeks out divorces more, look at who is seeking marriage more - now ask yourself why.
I am sure the numbers of women seeking divorce are just as stated. Don’t know where you live but I can assure you that not all divorces are the woman’s idea, though she thinks it is, not all divorces end up with the women getting everything as you state.
The study stated that women seek out the bad boys, ever wonder if that is a smart idea, in this day and age? The bad boys are not stupid enough to fall into a honey trap and lose everything they have worked 16 hours a day for, while the women work the credit cards. Maybe in a community property state it ends as you describe, but not all states are community property states, and it happens just the way I described when the greedy women take on the bad boys. I know from experience and knowing other bad boys. I am sorry, I had to pause and laugh. Sounds like you might have gotten outsmarted by a vengeful, greedy woman. You must be a nice guy.
