From what I have read their study is legitimate. -By now almost everyone has heard that the national divorce rate is close to 50% of all marriages. This is true, but the rate must be interpreted with caution and several important caveats. For many people, the actual chances of divorce are far below 50/50. The background characteristics of people entering a marriage have major implications for their risk of divorce. Here are some percentage point decreases in the risk of divorce or separation during the first ten years of marriage, according to various personal and social factors Annual income over $50,000 (vs. under $25,000): -30 Having a baby seven months or more after marriage (vs. before marriage): -24 % Marrying over 25 years of age (vs. under 18): -24 % Own family of origin intact (vs. divorced parents): -14% Religious affiliation (vs. none): -14% Some college (vs. high-school dropout): -13% *** Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/8/2005 12:21:41 PM   So Norway, then now calculate with me: 50% plus or minus... - income-wise I do qualify, even though I don't earn $$. So, 50 - 30 = 20% - although I guarantee, and neither I promise, nothing the chance of having a kid is large to say the least, especially after say a year. Such entitles me, and let's not haggle now, on half of the discount you offer. Ergo 20 - 12 = 8% - believe it or not, trust me for a sec, I AM over 25! Consequently 8 - 24 = -16% - My parents were happily married until my dad passed away, and the relevant discount I feel I earn herewith. -16 - 14 = -30% - I am a very firm believer in Darwin and evolution in general, however I am also convinced that the 'official' time-scale is awfully wrong. Let's not go into that here, but although there's no official chruch regarding this 'belief' I'll settle for half of the benefit. So here goes, -30 - 7 = -37% - On my 18th birthday I went to the Rector and told him I 'resigned' from his institution, and from his desk I walked into my first employment. I suppose this may qualify as 'dropping out' but 3 years later I returned to the education-scene, and finished it even. Alyhough haggling I feel is entitled maybe not the whole half is realistic, but let's make it 3%. Consequently -37 - 3 = 40%, my total earnings according to your schedule. Now, before anyone says that %% may not be added but should be multiplied, you know, the clever dick kind :), please explain to me how either a negative or a negligeable percentage should be interpreted? You mean to say that a divorce is no option anymore, in which case the word 'life' takes on a whole new meaning?? :))) Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/8/2005 12:24:21 PM   -40%, typo, but 'negative' anyway :) Norwegian Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/8/2005 1:18:34 PM   hehe.. What can I say? Math was never my strongest field.. LOL Actually I think I once learned that the total package was 100%, So may be you should start counting from 100? Let's try.. Hmm.. I find that you have only 10% chance of being divorced.. Not bad, not bad :)))) PS! May be you shouldn't have dropped out of school...?? ;))) LOL vanechka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/21/2005 10:13:34 AM   Good now find me some stats on the divorce rate between russian woman and western men. Now what a juicy statistic that will be.. keep denying reality folks GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/21/2005 10:31:35 AM   TD, Your minus 40% (give or take) means you will not only be sentenced to marriage for life, but will be to TWO women...and their corresponding mothers in law...:)) One very significant stat that applies to most men in this forum was amiss, Norwie. What happens to second, third or forth marriages even if all the others things in your above menu are positive? toad GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/21/2005 10:33:50 AM   Vanechka, YES! I think everyone here would very much like to know that. I have looked everywhere, but for the last two years but to no avail. Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/21/2005 2:07:38 PM   Toad, if that's true then maybe I may call for assistance from the Audience? Hmm? Good.... "HEEEELLLPP!!!!!!!" ;-) Vanochka my dear, after a hard day's work it is refreshing to find your friendly optimistic comments. Yes indeed, all men here (except the American Durbanite) are silly lala-types, not even worth laughing about. Let me tell you you are absolutely right with every single remark you made. Feel better now? (PS: please explain what you're going here?) nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/21/2005 8:43:07 PM   Vanechka Your the expert on failures of Russian and Western marriages, please share your acumen on this. I bet you have the statistics right at your finger tips! So since my Lady is Ukrainian does that mean I have a better chance? maybe you can share the Ukrainian and Western Marriages with us? gladiatorUK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/22/2005 2:04:23 AM   vanechka: sure.......statistics would be "juicy" as you call it,but remember that they can be manipulated to prove anything you want to.I am one of the lucky ones I suppose....happily married to a Ukranian lady for over a year now,with a little addition to our family due in a few months,and I am not alone on this forum.......trad where are you?..:)) Bear in mind that this forum is just a very small percentage of those who have found success (or are close to),whilst the remainder have quite firm views and plans for their future. It takes a whole lot of time,effort,money and determination to acheive the goals we want.......so why would anyone here be looking at the negative side?Of course there will be failures...thats life,but in general the chances of success and happiness are far higher choosing this route than the western way..........why you ask?????? One word will do for me.......ATTITUDE. My wife cares for her marriage far more than any woman from my country I have ever met.......that is not unusual for ladies form the FSU.....it is the norm! I echo Thunder's comment........"What ARE you doing here?" ONEKINDMAN Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/22/2005 2:33:13 AM   I think Fanny is Jealous. First give us your background? How many times you have failed at Marriage? How many times you have been dumped? what are your plans to stop the statistics from falling out of your favor? Curiouseuro30 thats an Interesting address? I wonder with that Address where your from?? Please share with us I am very interested in learning. David. Kiska Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/29/2005 5:01:25 PM   Hello guys. I wanted to ask you. i really need your HELP!!! My boyfriend is American and I am Russian. We have been communicating for 4 years. We met each other during a voyage. So he is always postponing his visit to Russia, saying he is up to his ears in his work. But he says he likes me. I like him too. What should I do???????????????? spirittraveller Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/29/2005 6:52:49 PM   Keep liking him,but live for your own enjoyment and satisfaction. If he comes to you,nothing will be greater than your own joy. If he does not,you will know it is not meant to be. If he is serious about you-he will make plans for you both,whether it is 3 months,6 months or a year in the future. Be direct,and ask him about his intentions concerning you. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/30/2005 12:24:44 AM   Thunder: I just got around to reading your post but it reminds me of an old joke about a guy who buys all sorts efficient devices to save money of gasoline. He buys tires that are supposed to increase his gas milage by 15%; fuel injection injection that is suppsed to save 25%; magnets on his gas line that are supposed to save him 30%; a spoiler which is supposed to save 15%; and an improved exhaust system that is supposed to save him 20%. His buddy asks him how all of these features are working. The guy says GREAT! except that every hundred miles or so he has to stop and drain some fuel out of his tank to keep the cap from blowing off. Damn, I wish you could add percentages like that. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/30/2005 12:28:52 AM   Probably should have been a line in there somewhere explaining that now he was he had improved his fuel efficiency by 105%. This is why I am not a stand-up comic. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/30/2005 12:35:50 AM   You should ALL get "fuel injection injection". Great stuff. izifaddag Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/30/2005 4:17:19 AM   About this stand up comic stuff .................................... idiotdetector Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/30/2005 5:27:43 AM   . Kiska Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/30/2005 10:35:12 AM   To Spirittraveller Thanks a lot. I will tell him, but I know what he will answer. And the thing I am afraid of that there will be no changes in our relationship. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/30/2005 1:17:06 PM   Kiska, Four years?????? I think I have the longest "holding out tenure" in here for going to see a woman in FSU, but 4 years ??? The first thing that comes to mind is your boyfriend's marital status. Maybe he is one of those american men who needs his wife's permission before going to visit his foreign girlfriend. You know, american women can be quite uncivilized in these matters..;)) Do not wait for a man who does not want to come visit you and your family. Find someone else. Your heart deserves it.
