Age gap, which explains why the possibility of true love and a marriage between a PL and a dancer is impossible. If you have a 1 year spousal age gap the divorce rate is 3%; a then year gap and now we're at 39%; raise the gap to 20 years and the divorce rate is 95%. Keep in mind these are people who didn't pay their spouse money to be with them as a way of beginning a romance. Also, explains why my 58 year old wife is someone I will be with forever and why dancers will always be women I see in 15 minute increments.

Take note of the math @JohnSmith:
60-18 = 42. Falling in love with a teenage sex-worker is not likely to lead to an enduring love affair.

Wait, did I read that right? A couple that has a year gap within only 1 year only has a divorce rate of 3%? Wow much lower than what I thought.

my ex-wife and I have a age gap of one year one month and 10 days.
I hate to be an ass ski bum.. but what the fuck are you fucking other women for if you're 58-year-old woman is satisfying? did you have an open marriage to begin with or did it just simply evolve into that? and in either case I'm jealous.

It did it did. I was just shocked because I know a whole gang of people within the age gap that are divorced.

I had a 14 year gap so that puts me in the 50% bracket but the real question is how long did the marriages last. Mine went 27 years until divorce.

Nice. Do you have a link to divorce stats?
I'm assuming high school sweethearts are an exception :P

Juice if you didn’t hog all the Four Loko you’d still be married right now.

This age gap is interesting. Skibum, can you give us the source for your statistics?
I had less than a year's age gap with my ex-wife. If I married a stripper half my age, the marriage would probably last a week.

if that happened to me then I'd be the guy in your avatar.

I’m not buying that 3% figure. Just doesn’t pass the smell test.

@juice you may be six months older but if you act as if you are 16 it is technically a 20 year gap.
My old lady is about 6 hours older than me. We are going on 20 years of marital bliss.

oh goodness. I have to make a point. if it's marital bliss with your wife... why the fuck are you still playing with all these other wonderful beautiful girls?
personally... I think we're not meant to be monogamous in general.

Interesting. This is the sort of thing that you’d expect a divorce lawyer to know.

The real reason is that most of us men are pigs
Log in to vote
That's OK. After about an hour, I can't stand to be around an 18 year old anyway.

Oh goodness it's not complicated. My wife doesn't want to have sex as much as I do so she doesn't care if I watch some porn or go to a strip club. I didn't get married just to have sex with her so I don't define the bliss of our marriage around it.

Does this mean my CF where there's a 13 year age gap - when we get married (she's not in love with me yet, but she will be - that when we get married there'll be a 39% to 95% chance we'll get divorced? That sucks. ;-)

Exodus 16:4
Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.
In other words flagooner even if men are pigs, a women will stayed married to ya bra if thats what she wants.

My source is a study that was reported in the Daily mail UK. Reported on 8/9/2018. MISTER W - right now I just do laps. I seldom have intercourse with other women and when I do its usually when wife and I swing. Yes, she too has sex with other people.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me.
Even though my age preference in dating/sex usually sets a very high gap between me and my partner (current boyfriend is 53), the downside of it is generation/cultural differences, so it may be harder to find a lot of common grounds or opinions I see eye to eye on as opposed to someone that is within the same age group as me that I could relate to much better. But that's a part of what making friends is anyway.
I'd much rather learn more or be mentored by a wise old man that's already learned from his mistakes than date someone close to my age range that doesn't know that much more than I do and ends up fucking up alongside with me instead of warning me or keeping me from fucking up. But as far as marriage goes, I never really saw it as a good option with that kind of gap (Then again, I don't like the concept of marriage at all, but that's a different topic) - and I think the statistics shared here kind of reflects that.
