I don't necessarily promote #GMB, but this pictogram story should be required viewing for those contemplating matrimony.

The POF slide so true

Which is how it normally goes

Let me illustrate this with an example:

We know from statistics that tonly 20% of restaurants that are launched today will stay open 5 years from now. That's an 80% fail rate. Many ppl take that to mean that your odds for success are 20%.

However, the above does not take into account many factors that could be heavily in your favor:

1) prior experience with running restaurants
2) any competitive advantages you might have in terms of cutting costs, sourcing products, marketing etc
3) what the market looks like when you launch your restaurant
4) location.

Etc etc

It's the same for marriage or any other human endeavor. There are many tangible and intagible factors that could 'tip the scale' in your favor depending on how you go about it. Starting with the criteria you use for picking a spouse. Are your values aligned. Do you have the same views on marriage, finances, how best to raise children etc.. Are your personalities aligned in terms of how you solve conflicts. Do you have external support from family, friends, counselors? Etc etc.. somebody who ticks all those boxes is NOT going to have the same odds of success as someone who married some broad because her sex game is immaculate and she got a fast ass, yet according to how most ppl read statistics, they both have 50% chance of success.

Hope you get my point, breh.

Good post. @CopiousX you bring up divorce stats but look at this post and how he breaks it down. You still want to be GMB @CopiousX?

@Booksnrain you talking all that positive relationship stuff yesterday, well we off that today.

Right!
But frfr, this just makes my thread even more important. Relationships take work.

50% of marriages end in divorce !== You have a 50% chance of getting divorced if you get married.

That's not how statistics work.

But it does mean that the way marriage amd divorce is constructed, it's not a reassuring rate.

Doing something with a 50-60% failure rate that can set you back financially is a process you need to be 100% sure of

As a formerly married man, the scenarios in that video are not far fetched.

I know plenty of men who went through similar. Luckily for me. My ex and me didn't have kids. And me and her shared assets which meant we both didn't want to upset those. So it mostly ran smoothly when we parted.

I will say if you're thinking of getting married as a man. Go in with your eyes open and do the following.

Keep a secret bank account that you keep topped up. As you can bet your wife will be.

Remain in contact with close friends. Don't let marriage mean you let your strong male friendships dwindle as if shyt ever hits the fan you will need those men to keep you afloat mentally. Please don't think you can get over separation by yourself. It can be a lonely time.

As again your ex will have a ton of support on her side. As women keep most of their friendships going.

Thats not me speaking as a bitter man, it's the reality of separating and divorcing.

Great post

Looking back at the time before you got married, were there signs that you ignored which in hindsight you can see did not bode well for your marriage? How deeply did you analyze the person you ended up marrying?

That's not how statistics work.

I’m well aware I took AP stats. I understand in addition to the fundamentals of stats the individual case has different qualitative and quantitative data that yields different individual success rates but when all it takes is a woman waking up and not being into you like that the point remains hence the wording

That's with everything in life. There are, undoubtedly, massive risks involved in choosing to get married. However, a good marriage carries many rewards too. The other options (choosing to date in perpetuity or stay single) also have their risks.

My point is, it's possible to mitigate risks by doing some basic due diligence. Of course you cannot completely eliminate risk.
