Why does it seem that majority of DIVORCES involve beautiful women...?

I'm single and have noticed on single dating websites and that many women who are divorce are somewhat attractive... could it be the "princess" mentality that American culture bestows upon little girls ? Or, could it be that they are attracted to Bad guys ?

Update:

lipgloss -- physically speaking the women who I have seen were outwardly beautiful.

    There are a few possible reasons for this. Two of them:

    1: Let's get the controversial one out of the way first - she knows she can use her beauty to play people, so she seduces guys and then walks away with their money by divorcing them.

    2: The guys fall in love with them solely based on their beauty, and when they find out that their personalities don't match they quickly get bored of the relationship and break up.

    Well, I know its a bummer right now and you probably want to drink beer. I don't think she was good because she left without even trying to work things out. What kind of crap is that? Go out get happy, concentrate on your career, keep with your friends or make new ones, buy some new clothes and watch what happens a year or two or three years from now. She will probably want you back and then you'll have to make a choice between the girl that treats you right and the girl that had no vision to try and work things through. Beauty fades, and life is a struggle to stay alive; you need a partener that will stick it out even when the crap gets thick so you can look back and say.......damn WE made it through all that baby, here is your wedding anniversary present its another diamond ring. Screw that dogmeat broad and get a brand new girlfriend

    I have often wondered about that myself.I don't know why.Being outwardly beautiful is one thing but are they also inwardly beautiful as well.I have known some very pretty women and while they are pretty on the outside they are not very pretty on the inside.I have always said it is not what is on the outside that counts,it is what is on the inside in a persons heart that really counts.I will always believe that.

    This just sounds too much like stereotyping. And WHY is it some people are assuming it's the woman's fault those marriages didn't work? What about the guy just maybe being a total jerk, abusive, etc... ?

    Single dating sites even have disclaimers about anyone who is a member. How do you even know those people... men or women... are posting actual pictures of themselves?

    Beauty means nothing without brains...and you would be suprised how nice someone can look in a photo and not so in real life...

    Woman do not get divorced because of bad men, Husbands can divorce a wife...

    And i wouldnt say its a majority...MAYBE, JUST MAYBE its a majority of divorced woman who use dating sites because its been so long they have been in on the dating game so dont know where to start...there would be no facts or any way to measure this kind of statment!

    Hmm, actually now that i think about it most divorced men are short and have blue eyes - JK...hahah

    I've never noticed this myself - and most of my friends have been divorced at some time. We are not all classically beautiful. Could it be that you are attracted to beautiful divorced women?

    There are many reasons to seek divorce, by the way. And it isn't always a case of women doing the divorce seeking.

    That could be for that particular case ..that she is demanded by many.

    Divorces are for many other cases.

    Could not understand each other is the main problem. No colour or race or beauty .

    In India dowry is the main problem.

    I know what you mean. Sometimes I'm like...'How could he leave a beautiful woman for someone else?" But I guess in the end of the cat and mouse chase, guys get bored with the girl, and get even more bored with her when they realize they are nothing but a pretty face. No brains, no personality, no nothing. Guys just thrive on the chase...

    About 50% of married women must qualify as "beautiful" then.

    All the divorced women I know are positively plain.
