What are you? An actuary? There is no way that that is even close. I’ll tell you why I believe this is wrong. I have seen some bogus stats about up to 60% of men but I liken it to the same crapola stats about the divorce rate being 50%. Here’s why? And I’ve heard some very good minds explain it too. They keep dumping in the same idiots. So, let’s take Mr. Tiger Woods here... he marries and cheats on his wife; he marries again and cheats on his next wife; he marries again and cheats again... etc. etc. etc. Or maybe he’s just a serial cheater. They will count this each time. Meanwhile, it’s just one idiot.

They do this with divorce. The same dummies are divorcing over and over. I have a cousin who has been married four times. Her last marriage was in July of 2009. She divorced #4 in March or April of 2010. She was already dating prospective #5 by June (not even a full year later). But she’ll show up in the stats as four divorces, as if four different people were divorced. Meanwhile, who do you think is marrying her? Yep, guys who also have multiple marriages. Except for the first one, they were all divorced.

Just had to bring it up.

You’re right about the divorce statistics. I recently read a survey that stated that 67% of men and 37% of women cheat at least once in their lives.

So, until she marries hubby #5, she has a 100% divorce rate. Hmmm... Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
