there's never been a better time to be a divorced man in his 30/40/50s

Many such friends I have would corroborate this statement. Ive listened to their various stories over the last 5-10 years with this age range and I've kinda broken up their approaches into a few different Areas of Operation, if you will:

Apps:
Even the fat women have hundreds of guys trying to get their attention. O, sure, some guys have luck and get married and blah blah. But why deal with all that competition?

School Functions, Travel Ball, etc:
Target rich but things could get weird for your little Jaxxon if you start plowing Brayden's mom in the hotel room stairwell after one too many White Claws at the park.

The Wild:
Think Target, the gym, IHOP waitresses, etc. Not a lot of luck but if you're bored and lonely apparently hitting a rando at Target with a "I need help picking out a new knife set since my wife left me" has surprisingly great effect if you handle it correctly.

The Bars:
Fish in a barrel. Dress better than anyone there, sit at the bar, and wait. ANY line to start a conversation and you pretty much know right away if she's looking too or if she could care less. Treat the bar like a table at the Casino. Table cold? Move to a new bar. Table is hot? Stay and hit on 12 a few times.

God Mode:
The Church. Ive mentioned this before but one guy literally friended up the old ladies at his church. He went to a grieving thing on accident thinking it was divorcees and just stayed since he was so lonely (dude is one charming motherfricker so I guess that helps) but over the weeks he got to know them pretty good and before he knew it they were sending high quality ladies his way. Dude couldn't believe his luck.

Stay frosty out there my single baws!
