 Crazy, Stupid, Love: Ryan Gosling, pictured with Emma Stone, plays a very successful dating coach in the romantic comedy - 42 per cent of divorced men would also think of getting a guru to help find love. |

Going through a tricky divorce would be enough to put anyone off marriage for life. But a new study shows that men are much more likely to get over a stressful and complicated break-up than women. Divorced men are much keener to re-marry than their former wives, researchers found, with 47 percent of men who had been through a divorce eager to wed again. That’s more than twice as many as women, who seem to fall into the 'once bitten, twice shy' category. Just 20 percent of female divorcees say they want to tie the knot a second time. The study of 2,000 adults - carried out to mark the DVD release of romantic comedy ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love' - suggests divorced men are also far more committed to finding love again. A surprising 42 percent of divorced men who are looking to date again also said they would be prepared to pay for a professional pick up artist to them on a date - a little like Steve Carrell does with Ryan Gosling in the film. They hoped this expertise might help improve their chat-up technique. There are now more than 20 dedicated date coaching services in the UK but less than one in five women said they would ever consider such a thing. More divorced men admitted to putting their profile on a dating website, too. Thirty-one percent said they had tried online dating since their divorce - compared to just 19 percent of divorced women. Mini Lane, a professional dating expert, said: 'Dating is a complicated game for men and more so for those that are starting all over again, having been off the dating scene for a number of years.' She said that men turn to gurus to help them learn how to dress and flatter their physique, as well as to develop their body language. The first step to finding a new partner, though is really wanting to find one - which is where it appears that divorced men already have an upper hand. (Read by Emily Cheng.

經歷一場離婚的浩劫足以讓人想從此遠離婚姻。 然而新研究顯示，男性比女性更容易從壓力重重而復雜的離婚傷害中恢復過來。 研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，離婚男性相對于他們的前妻再婚意愿更高，47%的離婚男性很愿意再婚。 有再婚意愿的男性比例是愿意再婚的女性的兩倍，而離婚女性似乎是“一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井繩”。 只有20%的離婚女性說自己愿意再婚。 開展這一研究是為了紀念愛情喜劇片《瘋狂愚蠢的愛》光碟的發(fā)行。這一涵蓋了2000名成人的研究顯示，努力重新尋找愛情的離婚男性比離婚女性多得多。 這些想重新開始約會的離婚男性當中，有多達42%的人說他們將準備聘請一個把妹專家陪自己去約會，有點像電影中史蒂夫?卡瑞爾和瑞恩?高斯林所做的事。 他們希望這種專家能幫忙改善自己攀談的技巧。 現(xiàn)在英國有20多個專門提供約會指導的服務機構，但只有不到五分之一的女性說她們會考慮選擇這一服務。 此外，更多的離婚男性坦言他們會把個人資料放在約會網站上。 31%的離婚男性說，他們在離婚后曾嘗試過網上約會，相比之下，只有19%的離婚女性嘗試過。 約會專家米妮?蓮恩說：“約會對于男人而言是一種復雜的游戲，對于那些已經好多年不約會、現(xiàn)在要從頭開始的男人更是如此。” 她說，男人找約會大師來幫助自己學習如何著裝，讓自己的身材顯得好看，以及如何運用身體語言。 不過，尋找新伴侶的第一步就是真心想去尋找，這一點似乎離婚男性已經占了上風。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 陳丹妮 編輯：Julie） |
