Millennials Are Causing the U.S. Divorce Rate to Plummet

[RusskyParticipant 13503]

Found this curious gem on Drudge today.
Totally misleading, propagandizing, and filled with statistical magic tricks
No comments allowed, of course

https://www.bloombergquint.com/pursuits/2018/09/25/millennials-are-causing-the-u-s-divorce-rate-to-plummet#gs.MtMCeWY

The study is based on black inner city population stats (no word about it in the article)
(here’s the study itself: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/h2sk6/)
and it researches class disparities and marriage, wanting to prove that the marriage has become the institution exclusively for the rich

The article itself claims that divorce rates are falling because millennials marry later and stay married to stick it to the boomers, which is nonsense conclusion. Later they interject a seed of truth about how there are less divorced young people simply because they never marry in the first place. Again, no word about how inner city blacks don’t marry so she would be eligible for more social programs aka welfare.

Yup it’s complete BS and f~~~ Drudge for putting this s~~~ up. He’s gone to complete s~~~.

Be professional be polite but always have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

I hope this spreads.

And people get married and live a hell of a livd…. Or a life in hell.

Why?

Im just evil

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

[VerusParticipant 965]

What crap. No mention of the fact that marriage itself is in a steep multi-decade decline. A lot of Millenials in my experience can’t afford s~~~. I would speculate that probably a large percentage of the relatively few that do marry stay together for financial reasons, or haven’t attained the level of income and property ownership that would trigger a woman’s desire to exit with the goodies. Give them time and the divorces will come.

Since college is 60/40 women/men then we can see that women have more student debt. These women are unmarriagable unless the guy is so rich that a second mortgage payment is no big deal.

[AwakenedParticipant 35203]

There CRAP article can’t change the FACT that marriage is at an all time LOW across ALL Westernized countries as well as replacement birth rate.

OBVIOUSLY, Less marriages equates to less divorces.

It’s an important point. More women than men are getting college degrees, which theoretically sets you up for a higher paying job. And the HR Manager doesn’t want to be married to a plumber, that would be embarrassing to be married to a man that works for a living. But the numbers don’t add up. Plus, for the plumber who started working a few years earlier and didn’t have to spend $150k to get his job, doesn’t want to take on her debt. They are financially incompatible.

The world would be better off if Bloomberg got Ebola, and died choking to death on his own blood.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

This just in, B-52 bombers pilots cause the STD rates to plummet.

It seems that when ever a B-52 bomber pilot carpet bombs a city, the STD rates to drop dramatically.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

[Faust For ScienceParticipant 22556]

Simple math. Less marriages mean less divorces.

[BeerParticipant 11832]

Let’s compare some data…

So according to the article OP linked…about 11% of millennials have a divorce under there built. Well…how many even got married and even have the potential to have had a divorce?

According to PEW, about 26% of millennials have even gotten married.

So…if 11% have a divorce under there belt, and 26% have even been married…that is already damn near a 50% divorce rate. All this article is trying to do is fudge the numbers by saying divorce rate = divorced people / total population, where as we all know divorce rate is calculated by divorces / marriages for a given sample. They might as well say long term meth use isn’t bad for you because less than 1% of the population is f~~~ed up from long term meth use…completely ignoring the facts that most people will never use meth at all, and of those who do use it long term they almost all end up f~~~ed up(or dead).

Some idiots marry them. The women are now marrying anyone, letting the guy pay of their loans, and soon as the loan is paid off, divorce him.

Hopefully word of this trend is getting around to guys.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

In 3 to 5 years that will all change. As the few that get married end up divorced.

Good, I hope every $hit eating vulture lawyer who’s made a living off the misery of others goes bankrupt and starves to death.

[BrainPilotParticipant 7640]

This was probably an interesting article, but to be honest, I didn’t read it. Marriage and divorce rates can go up. They can go down. They can be lied about by anyone with an agenda. My perception of marriage as it applies to me is very clear. I’m on my own path now, and going my own way, just like the home screen says.

If other people do or don’t get married, and other people do or don’t get divorced, and still other people lie and mislead about what those first people are doing…

I don’t really care.

I know what I am doing. I know very clearly why I am doing it. And those reasons don’t change regardless of what anyone else does, says or thinks.

other people have done LSD and shot heroine. Other people have smoked cigarettes. Hell, some other people have been posting videos of themselves eating laundry soap FFS.

I pay attention to 2 statistics:

I have followed my path for decades while my peers got married and had families. Out of nearly a dozen, there is only one of them that is still married to his first wife after 25 years (that’s about 8.5%). EVERY other one of them is either divorced already, or being dragged into it just as the last kid is finishing up high school. As soon as their wives didn’t have kids in the house anymore, they had no further need for a husband. They took the money and bailed.

At the same time, there is only one of us that can retire at age 50. That’s also 8.5%. Wanna guess which one it is?

Answer: The only one that followed the path I’m on.

While these poor bastards get dragged off to family court over the next 18 months, I’ll be touring Belize, Costa Rica, Thailand, and a few other tropical countries looking for a place to slurp margaritas and swing in a hammock.

No disrespect to the original poster, but I don’t lose much sleep over what the millennials are doing… 😛

Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you

[OgreParticipant 5863]

I went another route from BrainPilot. I got married young and had three beautiful daughters. Number one is twice divorced and I actually half blame the immature husbands for both. 2 is independent, employed, and not my problem. The third just turned 17. Guess what happens to mommy if Ogre gets too unhappy.

I have survived on less than a quarter, half works for me just fine.

I made mistakes, but I bet wisely and bought insurance. My kids may hate me for a bit if I dump their mom, but at this point they’re more of less who they will be for the rest of their lives.

I could tour the World easily on my residual income. It’s up to sweet’ums to decide how things turn out for her.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

Another s~~~ article that twists facts and uses bulls~~~ statistics to support their bulls~~~ argument. It’s like a guy saying “I’m a better basketball player than Michael Jordan! You know why? Because my field goal percentage is 25 percent better than Michael Jordan’s! I’m 3 for 4 lifetime, which gives me a 75% FG percentage, while Jordan’s was only 49.7%! Clearly I am the better player!”

Anybody with a functioning brain can see the stupidity of such an argument, but that’s the reason why people that write this kind of tripe don’t allow comments on their articles.

[RusskyParticipant 13503]

Well, it’s clearly written from divorce lawyer’s perspective:

It’s millennial’s fault the quantity of divorces are low. Darn idiots struggle to make money and get married so we could divorce them. And those who do marry – don’t divorce as quickly as we want them to in order to compensate for our falling income. If these bastards don’t take lead from the boomers and start marrying and divorcing multiple times, we might have to start chasing ambulances

[sidecarParticipant 35837]

Millennials “marrying later” is just tradcuck wishful thinking. Millennials aren’t old enough yet to “marry later” to provide any data to support that bulls~~~ claim.

The truth is millennials aren’t marrying AT ALL.

And that is not their problem.

there’s a reason why divorce lawyers were the biggest proponents of gay marriage,

[Anonymous 1]

Interesting. Millennials are not old enough to be the cause of such a long term trend. Millennials not marrying is just an effect. A reaction to a broken system.

How many Millenials like me watched our Fathers get thrown out of the house because Mommy has a new boyfriend. Nobody wants to repeat the same mistakes as their parents. How do you survive the brutally unfair Divorce Courts? You don’t get married in the first place.

Yes, now we see how Feminism pushing Women into the workplace instead of being at home making babies has set an avalanche in motion. Plummeting birth rates is starting to get the politicians worked up. They need a growing population to keep paying into this ponzi scheme we call “The Welfare State.” An aging and shrinking demographic is going to cause this pyramid scheme to crash and burn.
