    WIN. Truly brilliant chart.

  2. Bing0pl@ya69 says:

    BINGO!

  3. Robbert says:

    FAIL
    messed up x-axis xD
    otherwise brilliant

  4. Alcari says:

    So, does this mean I should start dating at age 14 if I want to marry at 18? Or does it mean I have to marry her at 22 if I started dating at 18?

  5. taryn Epperson says:

    it is “daters” not “datees”

    • Derbomber says:

      I dunno…Datee being a person who is being dated and Dater being the one who is doing the dating? Gives a masculine and femine.

  6. Bib1887 says:

    Well, lets see… Met my hubby in spring of 2007, got married three months ago. I’m 33. Yeah, that’s about right.

  7. dijital101 says:

    Graph FAIL

    Most people over 65 don’t get married. It lowers social security benefits.

  8. Everyone Else says:

    Old People don’t marry any more. At 70+ many are still in great shape and they’re surprisingly promiscuous and can be pretty damned blunt about it. Retirement Communities can make “Desperate Housewives” and “Sex in The City” look like Bible Study.

    • Hell Hath No Fury says:

      I worked at a retirement center, and some of those tactful, prudish old women shocked me with thier behavior. I guess back in the day when premarital sex was taboo, it was no better than it is now, it was just hidden well. The stories start coming out in thier old age when they no longer have to worry about what thier parents/neighbors/husbands will think. I had one charge who was a Hollywood hooker!

  9. Destin says:

    Wait… so are you saying that all people play at least bingo game before they get married?

  10. Hell Hath No Fury says:

    Unless he’s Navy and she’s 18…and then it’s more like, ‘One Underage Drink at Sailor Buddy’s House’

  11. Matador says:

    The graph should be reversed :P

  12. Me says:

    This should totally be more of a bell curve

  13. PornStoreChick says:

    You obviously don’t live in the south. You manage to meet a 20 year old who isn’t divorced and doesnt have kids their either a: not from the south or b: hmm.. no.. there is no B.

    It makes me physically ill. I PROMISE it is not that hard to not get knocked up.

    • cj says:

      Well, I live in the south. I didn’t get married until I was 34 and I know lots of very nice young ladies that are over 20 and not married and have no children.

      I think you are running with the wrong class of southerners.

      • Hell Hath No Fury says:

        Just because they haven’t actually birthed a child or walked down the aisle does NOT mean they are ‘nice’ or ‘ladies’, it just means they didn’t get caught up in the reaping of what they sow.
        And no, I don’t mean ALL, just most
        Even rich, well-behaved girls that have never been near a trailer park or bar behave the same way, they just have the money to cover it up.

      • PornStoreChick says:

        I’m in the panhandle of FL. It’s so ‘neck here. These people are nuts.

    • Jessidork says:

      I concur… there were many pregnancies in my circle of friends, even a set of twins. But once you close the free clinic down, there’s no way anybody can learn about how the reproductive system works or how to prevent pregnancies (yeah, schools, whatever…). There was another girl in my middle school I didn’t know that well that got pregnant in the sixth grade. Knowing some of the other students, I wouldn’t be suprised if it was a cousin love-child.

      Fortunately, I was reared in the city and, as so, I have returned to my homeland. It couldn’t be sweeter!

    • southernmiss says:

      i’m 23– never married, never knocked up and have been dating the same guy for 6 years. way to propagate the negative stereotype pornstorechick…

    • tmw1488 says:

      I’m in Texas, and I’d say that’s more the minority here. I have a few friends with kids (none who are divorced though) but I know many, many more people who don’t have kids.

      Though I do see where you’re coming from. It does seem like everyone is either married or has kids or both or was at one time.

  14. PornStoreChick says:

    I see you live in a military town as well.

    • PornStoreChick says:

      reply to proper poster FAIL. ah well.. I stink. Ment as a reply to Hell Hath No Fury

      • Hell Hath No Fury says:

        Porn Store? Would that be Castles in Silverdale, Wa, inbetween three Naval bases and in too-close proximity to two Air Force bases and an Army base?
        that’s okay, I failed, too having been the only girl I know to not marry and already-married military person, and getting a real carer instead of getting fat and breeding a drinking *I can do those without the help of a military man, kthx*

        • PornStoreChick says:

          Nah.. I’m in Pensacola, FL. And I swear I’ve had 18 year old customers come in marrying their freshly-out-of-boot-camp boyfriend because then he’d “make more money” and she wouldn’t “have to live at home anymore.”

          Can we say divorced and collecting child support by 20?

  15. WarpPig says:

    Z-axis for length of time to divorce?

  16. becca says:

    so true!

  17. Genny says:

    Then again, in most states if you’re gay the length of dating before marriage would be pretty much forever. Because, you know, gay marriage is so harmful.

  18. indigohippie says:

    Oh my God, this is really more true than some people will ever know….

  19. Vista says:

    Fairly true. My wife and I dated for 5 years before getting married at 19. AND NOT BECAUSE OF CATCHING TEEN PREGNANT!

  20. Lisa says:

    Actually I think it’d be more of a bell curve. A lot of people get married way too fast when they’re young.
