[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^No, you've repeatedly tried to argue that 20% is relatively common, which is laughable considering youre actually naming the figures and then trying to classify them in a way that directly contradicts them.

You're really bad at debate. Show me where I made a strong assertion that such May-December Romances were "common." I never set the bar there. I simply sought to undermine PP fembots who were claiming they never ever ever ever encountered such rare events. By providing data that 1 in 5 2nd marriages are, in fact, May-December type relationships I directly contradicted these PPs who claimed they never happened. [/quote]

Um HELLO!  Just because someone has never encountered an older man relationship (though that PP said she did know one person who was fat and dropped out of university who was in one) doesn't mean they are claiming it NEVER happens, ever, or that they were totally rare.

It also probably has to do with income and class.  Guessing most girls from Bethesda arent willing to date an older dude, because they probably have good college prospects and can marry someone their own age who their attracted to and still expect to live a relatively well off life.  Girls who are less educated are probably more interested.  So, someone's socioeconomic background will have a lot to do with whether they encounter this.

And btw, EVERYONE has acknowledged that 1 in 5 statistic, and classified it as what it is: [b]un[/b]common.[/quote]

Moneyquote: There’s a common stereotype that American men who remarry are especially likely to walk down the aisle with a younger woman. A new Pew Research analysis of census data finds that’s largely true. Not only are men who have recently remarried more likely than those beginning a first marriage to have a spouse who is younger; in many cases, she is much younger. Some 20% of men who are newly remarried have a wife who is at least 10 years their junior, [b]and another 18% married a woman who is 6-9 years younger[/b]. By comparison, just 5% of newlywed men in their first marriage have a spouse who is 10 years younger, and 10% married a woman who is 6-9 years younger. So a plurality of 2nd marriages involve older men marrying women AT LEAST 6 years younger.[/quote]
