From my experience, you need to handle the emails and winks from a normal-looking recently divorced guy just the same as the shirtless, sniffly, red-nosed man's man.
I know, huh? Who does that leave? ;-)
And there are 2 reasons behind this.
One - Who knows if they are even divorced? I can not tell you how many times I have gone a date and come to find out, he barely moved out of the house and hasn't even looked at divorce papers. Heck, he may even still be living with her. There is the Currently Separated status for a reason. Although, I know why guys don't choose it. Because single girls do not want to date (and by date, men interpret as 'bang') married men.
Two - They are recently out of a marriage and are so bitter that if you even hint at their divorce, it begins an hour long tirade about how she is the devil incarnate. And how you can't wait to turn her phone, power, and cable off. And nothing is more attractive than a bitter rant. Rawr!
Maybe Match.com should add a time duration to the Status category? So, you can state that you have been divorced for 2 years or 2 minutes.

I love the time idea. There should also be an "Emotional Baggage" category, where you select the amount. Although I'm sure everyone would lie. Oh, I just thought of a FANTASTIC idea. If you go out with someone on match, you should be able to do an anonymous survey about them, so other people can really read what they're like! I'm emailing match...
