Some Interesting Numbers re: High School Sweethearts

[Desdinova]

I figured I'd look up some statistics on marriages between high school sweethearts. This is all I came up with:

If you read the article, be sure to filter out the blue pill bull5hit

Here's a couple of interesting things:

• High school sweethearts that wait until at least the age of 25 to get married have a 10 year success rate of 78%

• According to some research, couples who meet in school are less likely to divorce than couples who met in any other setting.

• People who break up with their high school sweetheart and marry someone else are more likely to have an affair with the their sweetheart if they are able to reconnect.

This really backs up the idea of getting your woman while she's young and low-mileage. They tend to stick better than a "mature" woman who's ready to slam into the wall.

Why? According to this, you should be able to go back to your HS sweetheart with little resistance and fvck her again.

I got my wife @ 25 as a virgin. About as close to a HS sweetheart as you can get!!

I think it's all about the mileage. Women aren't constitutionally equipped for lots of partners. They lose their ability to bond and nearly all loyalty after a certain point.

I don't think it's that they lose their ability to bond, but that they lose their ability to bond with a new partners.

Little to do with age or notches directly; more to do with Sexual Market Value (SMV).

If a woman had 5-10 relationships with men of SMV 5 - 7, and meets you at a 9, you can bet your azz you are the keeper. In the same scenario, if you were a 5-7, you become just one of those men, so the relation has average chances to succeed. And if your value were a 3, your chances of a successful relation decreases further.

Thus, the more relations a woman has, the greater the possibility that her top previous partner holds a SMV that matches or exceeds yours.

Under the same presumption, high school sweethearts, who have a higher probability for successful LTRs, have little or no past relationships from which to gauge/compare, so you start out as and remain the champ.

You say that as if women logically do it.

I believe both SMV and age play a role in it.

I dated my gf when we were in high school together. We each moved away for college to different states, married other people, got divorced, and moved back home at about the same time.

I bet the tender age of sweethearts will not be the same , that only worked before mobile age , just wait another ten years and reread the statistics

Some of the people I know who have been married the longest have been dating since high school. I've always figured it's all they've ever known, so they go with it. They literally don't know what they're missing.
