The further along in life I've gone, the more I've recognized how rare it is that statistics and percentages have the meaning that people (especially people on TV shows) attribute to them.

28% of these particular guys do this, 42% of them do that.

One really important thing to realize,is that most percentages are RESULTS. They don't cause anything, and most of the time, they don't even POINT to the cause of something.

This kind of percentage especially. They started from the subgroup "Men who are Defective such that they Cheat," and then counted up the ones who bragged about it enough to gather "statistics."

More than anything else, statistics tell you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about a given individual.

Someone told me in passing the other day, that there is a higher percentage of black on black crime, than white on white in the area they lived in. Okay, but that doesn't translate to how to deal with a particular black person. In the same way, the vast majority of serial killers in the world, are white males. Doesn't mean I'm one, or even that I have a higher likelihood of becoming one.

This show said that 28% of the particular group of avowed jerks who they interviewed, said that they were nicer to the person they were cheating WITH, than the person they were cheating ON. At least on February 14th.

Not very useful statistics.

Better not to have a girlfriend/wife. That way there's no cheating and can't be accused of cheating.
Plus, a man doesn't need a woman, just like a woman doesn't need a man.
None of the Ladies I paid for intimacy have ever accused me of cheating laugh
It's a win/win situation.
By the way, prostitution is legal in my country.
Gotta help these young Ladies go through college.
Power to the women!

28% of men that cheat on their spouses chose to spend Valentine's day with their affair partner!

Also 42% men spend the same amount on gifts for their affair partner as they do their wife!

Those stats are only based on those polled ..not the whole population..40% out of the 100 or 1000 or whatever does not generalize the whole population..just the percentage of those polled...whoa
