I have been propositioned by more married/engaged/taken men

You are kind of getting to be a one-trick pony with your posts.

Creepy.

I have noticed this on the SO board, that almost every woman who has been divorced apparently attracts droves of men looking to cheat. I have my hypotheses about this, of course, but alas I have no controls.

It's hypotheses.  More than one!  Good science can't be done on one hypothesis alone; you always need backups to try to disprove if you succeed in disproving one.

My leading hypothesis is that a lot of these "propositions" would have been characterized as harmless flirting back when the women in question were married/engaged, but now that they're not... well, let's just say that they're NOT looking to disprove the hypothesis that men are scum and monogamy is dead and all the happily married couples around them are living a lie.

Hey, I'm not married to the hypothesis. It is but one.

I am almost exclusively hit on by married men. And I have no hidden desire to prove marriage sucks. People in LA are just like that. I cannot tell you how often people think the statement "I'm married" means "great! If you're married too lets have sex!" And yes, the choice of people was intentional. I think it is part LA and part being close to middle age. People are age are generally married. So the frat boy who wanted to have sex two decades ago is the married man who wants to cheat on his wife now.
