Divorce to Marriage Ratio

Quote: EvenBob

...I knew a guy who always had sex going
with 3 different women, and he was
very average looking...

Why is society not 98% ok with this ?

rephrased,,,society should be 98% ok with this.

I didn't say it all went smoothly. He was always
in trouble with at least one of the three, and
the juggling act he did was impressive. I
think part of the equation was I heard he
was hung like Secretariat. Those kind of
guys always have something to prove..

Women love to lie and say size doesn't
matter. Enough of them have told me,
oh yeah, it matter a lot..

You got me to chuckle out loud at
that one. No 5" strap-on's for sure.

The 50% figure is a little misleading for thos that are not married yet. First marriages fail somewhere around the 30% mark. Second marriages are like 50%. Third and higher are around 75%. If you are not yet married you have a 70%+ chance of staying that way.

Aye, there's the rub. Assuming your numbers are correct, first marriages do okay. (Although, with a "house edge" of 30% it's still a big gamble.) Then the odds skyrocket for each marriage after the first. So much for love being happier the second time around I guess.

It's interesting that in cultures with arranged marriages, the divorce rate seems to be in the 4-6 percent range. So what do you think? Are parents really that good at matchmaking? Or, in such cultures, is the fear of losing face or dishonoring the family name keeping couples together?

The culture tends to shun divorced
people, just like ours did at one
time. 100 years ago a divorced
woman was a pariah, she was
shunned by all her married
friends and had a hard time
finding a descent husband,

Unless she was beautiful, of
course. Then she good find third
and fourth husband if she needed to.

Funny but unfortunately true.

Ugly divorcee= pariah

Attractive divorcee= misunderstood and needs 3rd 4th opportunity.

Way of the world. Shows the depth of "love".
