Date Only the Marrying Kind

To dramatically increase your chances of marrying you must seek out and date the marrying kind.

Statistical Truths About the Marrying Kind

• Most men will not even consider marriage before they reach the age of commitment. For 80 percent of high school graduates, the minimum age of commitment is twenty-three, whereas for 80 percent of college graduates, it's twenty-six.

• The high-commitment period for most college-educated men is from ages twenty-eight to thirty-three.

• For men who go to graduate school-doctors, lawyers, and the like-the high-commitment period runs from thirty to thirty-six.

• After age thirty-seven or thirty-eight, the chance that a man will commit diminishes. After forty-three, it diminishes even more.

• Most men think sowing their wild oats is a rite of passage and will not even contemplate marriage until they have been working and living as independent adults for several years.

• Men are most likely to marry after they become uncomfortable with the singles scene.

• Men have biological clocks. They want to be young enough to teach their sons to fish and play ball, and to do the male-bonding thing.

• Men who look at marriage as a financial arrangement in which women have the most to gain are not likely to marry-nor are they good prospects. Run...fast.

• Men whose parents divorced when they were young are often gun-shy about marrying.

• Men often marry women whose backgrounds- religion, politics, values, socioeconomic status- match theirs.

• Men who have their own places and have lived as independent, self-supporting adults are more likely to marry.

• Men whose friends and siblings are married are more likely to marry.

• If a man over the age of forty has been married before, he is more likely to marry than a forty-year-old man who has never been married.

• If you wish to facilitate a trip to the altar, meet and date only the marrying kind!

How true is this list fellas? Anything missing? I thought it was pretty clear and consise also made alot of sense.
