idea, it can actually be an incredibly successful tactic.<\/p>\n<p>That is the view of a study published last month by Zoosk and reported by the Daily Telegraph, which urged men to open up about divorces and exes.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships coach Susan Quilliam said women could be more likely to get in touch with a man who mentions a divorce as it reassures them that he is now single.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If men talk about exes, women get the impression he's being honest and open about his relationship status now,&quot; she explained.<\/p>\n<p>However, this does not necessarily work when the roles are reversed, as men can be put off the prospect of a woman who appears to have plenty of relationship history.<\/p>\n<p>As such, it can be worth people of different genders taking a varying approach to online dating, changing how much they reveal to prospective partners.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801696427-ADNFCR\"
