This idea of "God realizing" is found in popular Christian literature.
In the book "Party of Two: Lessons for Staying in Step in Dating, Marriage, and Family Life By Beverly LaHaye, Tim LaHaye, page 75" it says:
"Soon after this great creative miracle, God realized "it was not good for man to be alone"

I really gave this some thought and wonder
if what God was saying was more like He realized ADAM was lonely and that Adam felt he was missing a counterpart. After all, the animals were both male and female to my knowledge. I seriously doubt they were all male! He saw the companionship of the male elephant with the female elephant, the male giraffe with the female giraffe.. and thus could it be he realized he did not have a counterpart like they did? So the realization from God was that Adam recognized and realized he did not have a mate. Just saying...

The Creation account of Genesis does not sound like a God who had it all figured out beforehand.

In my recent studies on God the Father, I discovered and 'realized'
God the Father comes up with the ideas. I explain this and more in my blog.
So you could possibly be correct here Mr E.
Shocking

There are related questions around sin and the fall of man, whether this was planned all along for mankind to sin, or whether God expected mankind to resist Satan's temptation in the Garden.

I have also done on in depth study on this subject matter. Maybe at some point I will write a blog on my findings. Not going to do so unless I am led by the Spirit though.

Another Creation fact that points to God's "afterthought" concerning woman is that woman was not created from dust originally as a new species like Adam and the animals but was created as a version of man, being taken out of Adam's side.

Now this I disagree with. God, I truly believe
knew exactly when the woman was going to be taken out of the man and why He did it that way. I don't think He has revealed it to us but He knew He was going to take the woman out of the side of the man.
PEACE OUT EVERYONE! Sooner or later, He is going to gather all His saints together unto Himself. This
