I just saw in another thread where someone said they move past profiles of women who are divorced. Is this true guys? Divorced ladies, do you feel over looked?
I HATE that match makes me write divorced on there. If I switch it to say never married, then that's lying. I'm single. I'm not married. Why do I have to be forever labeled now as divorced? I prefer telling people about my divorce after they get to know me a little bit. People make so many assumptions about divorce. I married my college sweetheart and was divorced by 26. I don't have any kids or even any communication with my ex. He was the one who decided he didn't feel like being married anymore, so it's not like I just changed my mind or flaked out.
I'm attractive, I have a good job, and honestly what happened sucked, but I'm not bitter or carrying around huge baggage. It's just something that happened to me in the past.
A few people said something, so it's an objective truth now? Don't worry about it. Would you really want to date someone that wasn't smart enough to think something through and dismiss it like that?

Of course it's not an objective truth. Just wondering how people feel about this. Isn't that the point of the board? Sometimes I honestly am insecure. I feel like there's a stigma attached to me for being divorced, even though that's probably silly as so many people are.

if it makes you feel better..everyone I know with divorce and/or children to their name are either in happy relationships, engaged, or re-married. But in my town/state, people with a lot of baggage get the best partners lol.
Regardless, I think a "starter marriage" is hardly baggage. Just something that didn't work out.
I'm a guy, separated, not a match.com member or looking for online dates, but if I were, I wouldn't give a hoot about whether someone was divorced or not. There's always going to be someone who'll think negatively about it or some other aspects of your profile (race, kids, age, height, weight, etc). It is what it is.

What does everyone think?
Many guys don't care about that as much as a woman lying about having any kids or not. Nice mommy!

I think there is a stgima attatched to being divoriced. Some people see you as a failure for not being able to hang onto your marriage. Regardless of the reason you got divoriced. People tend to judge you when they see your status as divorced. While I'm not one for online dating I say single if anyone ask I'm honest & say that I once was married. I'm not lieing I am single.

At her age? Nah, not really! It happens sometimes. Her best bet she can ever hope for is a guy who never was and has zero kids. *Homerun*
Over the age of about 45 just about everyone is divorced, widowed or separated. I've seen a few older women who put Never Married and those are the ones I usually skip past.
