:roll: unreal. No he didn't. You really need to read more carefully. This especially:
with the entire collection of data...

:roll: How am I misrepresenting the data? Instead of focusing on the personal attacks, you should answer the question.

You misrepresent the data all the time. You told me the other day

No, it does not suggest that.

you've established multiple times you don't understand statistics or academic papers, so feel free to quote your source.
When the paper literally said word for word what I was saying. :roll:

You accuse me of things that you are guilty yourself. :lol:

This especially:
I would appreciate if you answer this question.
How do you explain the 19% gap for 18-29 or the 23% gap for 18 to 25? and the 21.5% gap for 26-33.
What RI implied or didn't isn't that important. I'll delete his comment if you want.

The pattern for a long time has been women generally marry men older than they and then outlive the men. Is there something about the statistic that this observation does not explain?

Perhaps Thomas you could explain what your concern is.

I completely agree! Women getting with older men is the biggest factor, but RI and Marcus accused me of picking, "snippets from various sources and then stitch them together in an an interpretation that is not consistent with the entire collection of data" when I said the same thing as you.

I'll come back to explain my concerns, but right now a concern is that Marcus is blaming me and accusing me of misogyny for no reason.

One concern is that there aren't enough single women around my age and a lot of women have impossible standards.

Another concern is hypergamy and the fact that some men date multiple women at the same time.

You doing the same damn thing over and over, DT. Now you are taking incomplete snippets of things I've said and quoting them completely out of context. It's the same thing you do with published papers. You grab a snippet that you think supports something you already believe and then ignore everything else, including the context and the conclusions. You've seized on one statistic from one article and are treating it like absolute truth. You know better.

I question everything, I'm not treating it like gospel truth.

How would you explain 21.5% gap between single men and women ages 26-33? Or is the 21.5% gap completely wrong?

I'm a lot more careful with published papers, I don't think that's a fair criticism.

In the past, you haven't been careful at all with published papers. The behavior I'm describing is what you've done with published papers in the past.

You're treating one result from one survey as the gospel truth. You're not questioning it at all.

I don't know the answer to your question, and I don't care enough to spend the time digging to try and figure out the answer.

It could be wrong, but so far I haven't seen any evidence to believe it is wrong.

What explain the decline after the 2015–2017 wave?
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/1 ... 3211057710

This paper points out Belsky's model to suggest that too many single men is not a good thing.
https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2012-19737-004

And Erikson's Stages of Development suggest that being single or having no friends for a long time is really bad.

You should care. Have a good night, I have stuff to do.

Why should we care? Explain it in your own words.
