What Women Want--What Men Want Quotes

“Age is a powerful impediment to marriage for women. One study estimates that women who reach 30 unmarried have only a 20 percent chance of marrying; at 35, they have about a 5 percent chance; at 40, they have a 1 percent chance. Blumstein and Schwartz report similar statistics for remarriage. Women in their twenties have a 76 percent chance of remarrying; women in their thirties have 56% percent chance; in their forties a 32 percent chance; in their fifties or older, less than 12 percent chance.”
