Despite the fact that virginity is no longer needed “dowry” that the woman, upon marriage, as it was a hundred years ago, men prefer to the same question the woman not only answered “You have a second, honey”, but could prove it a lie detector, reports Rus.Media.

It flatters our egos, in addition, there is a strange confidence that a woman will not flirt with our friends and no fear to be alone with the plumber who came to fix the faucet.

Now, imagine that scientists decided to test whether this is the case. Research conducted at the University of Utah (USA), showed that the relationship between the number of premarital partners of the woman and the probability of divorce really is. But it is not so, as you probably thought. It turned out that the highest probability to break up — women who had one partner to the wedding.

Nicolas Wolfinger, a Professor from the University of Utah and Professor in the Department of sociology at the University, surveyed 10,000 women and made a graph where X-axis is the number of partners, and the Y — axis is the number of divorces.

It turned out that above all the number of divorces among women with one partner — 30%.

Overall, the table looks as follows:

1 partner — 30%

2 partner — 14%

3 partner — 11%

4-5 partners — 18%

6-9 partners — 14%

From 10 partners and above — 18%

Unfortunately, scientists have not given a clear explanation for this phenomenon, apart from the obvious that women compare man with my ex. So, next time you hear: “You’re my second,” be watchful!
