Do you find this shocking or reasonable?

Such a reputable source for justifying your misogyny. :doh
 
I'd guess for about 50% of men there should be a backup, so they're about right. 50% end in divorce, so they nailed that. How is the % a bad idea? Looks like exactly what's required. 50% of men need to pick up their game.
 
Very reasonable
This is 2018 and women have choices.
Women don't need any man anymore and can be with whatever man or none that she sees fit
 
Woman's loyalty to man is a remnant of female servitude


keep her locked up in the kitchen where she belongs, loyal

Who do you hate? The woman doctor? The the fact that the woman doctor has a Muslim heritage? The research the woman doctor is citing? Or was there some other motivation for your oh so ****ing stupid comment?
 
That might be a little high but it isn’t implausible. Women as a whole may not be as impetuous as men but they are still human with all the thought processes, fantasies and desires that entails. Having backups in mind also makes evolutionary sense.

Anyone can come up with a study, doesn't have to be a good one. Especially if it is promoted on some local cable news channel. SDET is well known for posting anything to try and justify his blatant misogyny.

For a young man today I'd consider it a requirement. More and more college is becoming like highschool, the minimum expected. Even if they don't work in their major, who cares; it's a great four years of experience that prepares them for whatever job. And it certainly improves ones relationship abilities, in the long term ;)

Let's not oversell it, now.

Okay, it is some work. But the personal growth, discipline and social abilities transcend occupation.

I'd also recommend travel and serving, which foster the same development.

One can do two or three of those things at the same time. So I guess my recommendation would be serve overseas and take classes while doing so. I think that's a good start. Class overseas as a civilian is two of three, so still high speed. Don't sit around waiting for something to happen.

My recommendation is the same for women.

You know nothing of her research that she cited and have nothing of your own. You are mindlessly blathering. You paint yourself as stupid. Its unflattering.
 
How many of those "backup men" run on D cells?

This tells me they are not really devoted to making their current relationship work.
Keeping someone in reserve is not fair the your partner, nor the person in reserve.
Don't those same numbers apply to the number of failed relationships too?

Here is your answer.

Fully commit for a fully enjoyable relationship, if it is to be.
It does not even have to be forever, but for the time you are together it should be a full commitment.

Some have a lifetime,
some just a day.
Love isn't something,
that's measured that way.

Nothing is forever.
Forever is a lie.
All we have is the magic,
between hello and goodbye.

Make it magical and don't hold back. :iloveyou:

On one of your death beds the other should hear this...
my wife will. I wrote it and put it in my pocket for her.

Though this pain wracks my body,
I can still smile and say,
the love you freely gave me,
will help me on my way.

I take your love with me,
and leave mine behind.
What we shared together,
can't be measured by time.

Yet another is tabloid media fraud? Totally unsurprising but still not at all reasonable.

The basis of this result wasn’t any kind of scientific study, it was a commercial poll commissioned by a UK tabloid (the Daily Mail). This kind of poll is designed to create pre-determined results that can be then used to generate profitable headlines. There’s apparently no source for who the survey approached or exactly what they asked and the reporting of the results are sketchy as they we’re copy-pasted around the trash media, shifting between “43%” to “almost half” to “50%” to “over 50%” depending of what you read. For what it counts, this has also been trawled up from 2014.

I like the effort you put into analyzing this.

It really wasn’t much effort at all. A couple of Google searches, a little amateur experience and some common sense. Everyone should be doing it.

It’s worth doing pretty much any time any media source asserts a claim about definitive results from some “study”. You’ll find that more often than not, the “study” isn’t anything like as formal, rigorous or independent as they imply (as in this case) or the results are being exaggerated, misrepresented or, occasionally, entirely made up. It can also be interesting to see how many “news” organisations, even the big ones, will have almost copy-pasted versions of the exact same story (usually the result of some PR company pushing a press release to get a brand or idea in to the public eye) or how the same story will be spun in different way by different sources (especially in the headlines).

Once you develop just a basic understanding of how all this works, you will develop a healthy cynicism when you’re told something like this, even (especially!) if it’s something you’d like to believe is true. :cool:

If it was a legitimate study, the only place you can find it would not be local cable news.

See HonestJoe's posts above.
 
If you have to have a backup man/women then you really are not that much in love or caring for the person that you are with
and there is a good chance that you should be involved with that person to begin with.

You literally know no thin about it. It HAPPENED to be atopic for discussion on a local morning news channel. You STILL bleat on proving you know less than dick.

Obvious victim blaming is obvious.

You mean the OP, right? Taking precaution given statistical fact is smart. And, of course, it depends on the particular man. Wouldn't you agree 50% are sub-par? Not everyone nails it on their first pick. Let's be grown-ups, not kids with fantasies. Fact is, a lot of those back burners should be front.
