A Sad Statistic

It’s getting late, but I had this weird urge to post some thoughts that came up tonight.

Between website programming sessions, I was chatting with John and we both noted that our respective relationship failure rates were 100%. That’s pretty depressing, isn’t it?

Well, sure. But most people’s are, I think. Even if a person finds a life-long match, that probably doesn’t happen on the first attempt. Yes, I realize that there are the fortunate few who find love right away but, in all probability, it will take several relationships before one of significant duration is found.

So that means that most people are operating with a 50% floor, and are more than likely to hover in the range above 67%. All of a sudden, 100% isn’t looking that dismal. Nevertheless, it’s not something that about to bring a smile to my face or anything.

I have a lot of respect for those who have cracked the 100% failure rate and found a meaningful relationship; they’re either awfully lucky or awfully good.
