I swear some people go out of their way to judge others for the most ridiculous things. Maybe try asking yourself why you are not happy about people finding love without going through half a dozen shitty relationships.

Statistically speaking, 60% of marriages between people aged 20-25 end in divorce. Those who wait have a 25% increased chance of not getting divorced.

So you go from about a 1/2 chance of divorce to about a 1/2 chance of divorce. Got it.

Sounds more like age doesn't really matter and emotional maturity matters more.

The difference between 35% and 60% isn't insignificant...

I mean you're not wrong about emotional maturity but the less years you've been alive, the less time you've had to emotionally mature

Just on the math rq, 25% almost certainly means 25% of the risk is reduced… therefore 60%->45%

Depends/sometimes.... If it's like you said then 25% of that 60% and you get 60-15=45. If it's some rando looking at 60% total and 35% total and they go "oh neat one of these numbers is 25 bigger/smaller!" Then maybe not?
