To Jerk Or Not To Jerk... Has anyone ever noticed that sterotypically in a love story there is always the antagonist, a big jerk with little respect for the opposite gender, and the protagonist, a love struck nerdy guy whose intentions are pure. Now if we look at this closely we realize that the jerk, if you will, has had relations with women in the past, in most all these scenarios and yet the kind nerdy guy has not. Also you may notice that they both usually come to like the same girl, The Girl as it would seem. Now in the end the nice, kind guy always "gets the girl" but is that really the end? For it seems that the jerk in this situation will contiue to have sex with women, but the nerdy guy, well he is married, and let's look at the statistics from... http://www.divorcereform.org/rates.html "PROJECTION/PREDICTION. This is the Census Bureau's often-cited "50%" rate, the proportion of marriages taking place right now that will eventually divorce, which has since been revised downward to roughly 43% by the National Center for Health Statistics but was moved back up to around 50% by the Census Bureau in 2002, with even more ifs ands and buts than usual. Most recently, according to the New York Times, it has been revised downward to just over 40%." Just over 40%...that means there is a pretty good chance that his marriage will end in Divorce...but not immediatly, he will have remained loyal and lost the prime years of his life...but why the divorce? If you look at these statistics from.... http://www.divorcepeers.com/stats26.htm. It is clear the adultry is the number one cause of divorces... What is the number one reason you and your wife split up? ▪ She was unfaithful 22% ▪ We grew apart 21% ▪ We fell out of love 16% ▪ We argued constantly 13% ▪ No longer sexually attracted 5% ▪ I was unfaithful 3% ▪ Other 20% But i ask you this...would she be having an affair with the nerdy guy who settled down, "got the girl" and remained faithful until his divorce...or with the jerk that contiued to have sex afterwards...who really gets the girl?
