You are right that 1% is way too high, I was being generous because I didn't want to quibble about number of zeroes. which is why I said "less than 1%" instead of "exactly 1 in 100,000" or something to that extent.
divorce rate != rate of bad women.
1. many women won't even get married in the first place so they cannot divorce.
2. men will put up with a bad woman for the sake of the kids
3. divorce rate does not differentiate between passport bros and those who marry western women
My
point is that claiming that less than 1% of western women are 'good women' is utterly ridiculous.
'Passport bros' are not a significant portion of the population. The best number a quick search could get me was about 7.4% of the marriages are one American-born, one foreign-born, and this number does not indicate whether it's a man or woman, or whether the foreign-born is someone who came to America, rather than the American going out and finding someone elsewhere in the world.
No marriage is perfect, but the idea that the overwhelming majority of marriages only stay together because the man is putting up with terrible women for the sake of the kids or something similar is ridiculous on the face of it.
There are somewhere over 50 million married couples in the US, it was ~55 million ten years ago, I'm not going to spend forever hunting statistics to get the most recent and accurate figure. About half of first marriages end in divorce, people who get divorce and remarry are more likely to get divorced again.
US population is currently about 335 million, so there's about 168 million women. Of that, about a quarter are going to be considered too young to get married by standards of the day, so that leaves us about 126 million. Of those 126 million, over 50 million are married, so for meaningful statistics, about 40% of those are married.
If we take
very pessimistic assumptions, and assume that all divorces are the woman's fault, that gets us to 20% of the population of 'potentially good women' left. If we then assume that three quarters of those women who are sane and stable enough for a guy to stay married to are actually still 'bad women,' then we are still left with 5% of women as 'good women.'
This is assuming that all women who are widows are bad women. This is assuming that all women too young to get married count as 'bad women.' This is assuming that all women who deliberately choose to be single are 'bad women.'
All of these are
impossibly pessimistic assumptions that cannot at all be said to be in reasonable contact with reality, but
even with all of these negative assumptions, we still end up with integer multiples more 'good women' than your absurd black-pilled number.
Because that's what your number is. Black-pilled, defeatist, justification to kvetch online, and give up on actually getting somewhere meaningful with this part of life.
I started dating in my teens. I didn't manage to get married until I was 36. I'm
quite familiar with how hard it can be to find a good woman to get married to (my wife was repeatedly telling me yesterday how blessed she is to have me), I know it's hard.
But it isn't futile, and telling lies that it's even worse than it actually is doesn't help anything or anybody.
