Are one night stands the way forward for me?

I’ve posted a couple times on here about this situation I’m in, guess it just shows how much I’m struggling.

Ive been trying get over him, tried all sorts, now im thinking I just get myself out there again and meet new people just to distract myself and just have fun. I have to try it as thinking about him is just bringing me down.

Would men be put off if I am honest and say I’m not looking for anything serious and just want the physical side of things?

a bit of background I was in a LTR for 20+ yrs, split from him and a few months later met this guy who totally turned my head, but he messed me around with lies and ghosted me.

There is nothing wrong with wanting the physical side of things.
as they say the best way to get over it is to get under it x

My only issue is, I’ve never had one night stands before.
one thing I know for sure is I’m done with having any emotional connections as that’s what messed me up in the first place.
