Nice to hear so many responses.

One person: Jack the Sailor mentioned about doing projects around the home and going to Home Depot & Lowes. I don't have my own home. Have an apt I rent so any work that needs to be done, the manager of the apt. building does it. I am on the West Coast, USA and the guys do seem to wear wedding bands here.

I should also mention that I use public transit - trains & buses a few days a week for part time job.

There are a lot of men on the train and I am always looking around to see if there might be someone single. Well here, the men are also all wearing wedding bands on the train - woman too.

I sit in different places on the train - not the same carriage all the time and I am on the train to get home about 1 hour.

It amazes me sometimes that all these people are married!!!
If the divorce rate is so high - I don't see single people in this age range around, 50 - early 60's. Even the younger guys on the train - who appear to be in their mid-30's or so are all wearing a wedding band. This is a commuter train - the one I use to my area only runs Monday - Friday. Plenty of people on the train, I can't get over that they all seem to be married. Most are business people.

I think that someone was saying that men have a more difficult time of being alone so I imagine after a divorce they get remarried very quickly, maybe even having met the woman while they are still married. I also think professionally at their job that men feel better, more confident if they do have a spouse and not alone, especially in their 40's & 50's.

I also wanted to mention that I am not skinny or heavy - but I think it is pretty hard for a woman in her 50's to meet anyone - here on the west coast anyway. I guess if there are any single guys in the 50's,& 60's, they probably want to meet someone younger, 30's & 40's but not their own age. Their first wife might have been near their age but if they do get a divorce it seems like they do prefer much younger women the 2nd or 3rd time around and not a 50 something year old woman.
