It appears that most of the hard sciences have the least divorce rates.

  • This probably makes sense in that they tend to require at least a bachelors if not a master or PHD, graduate or professional degree.This requires a solid amount of self control and discipline to get through and at the very least some amount of intellect
  • As we learned in my college analysis on divorce, though college educated women divorce men at a higher rate than regular women (90% vs 70%)  but the overall amount of women is a lot lower because of the vastly lower college educated divorce rates vs regular divorce rates of associates degrees or HS degree only. This makes sense as anyone who can make it through college at least has a better self control, long term perspective, and likely less money worries.
  • I’d also suspect that most of the hard sciences and professional degrees are people who think longer term and logically about things and are less prone to make feelings-based decisions
  • Hypergamy-drive in women likely reduced by marrying higher status professionals

On the other hand, the vast majority of highest divorce rate professionals have a lot in common:

  • Exposed to tons and tons of people so it’s likely for them to compare and become more dissatisfied with their spouse
  • Low or no education in most of the professions
  • Very stressful jobs in a lot of cases. Makes people more prone to emotional and rash decisions if focus and willpower are used a ton at work

Didn’t really mean to take this anywhere, but it’s good data. If you can find women in the above fields they’re much less likely to divorce. However, they are also much less likely to actually like you unless you’re in the top X percentage of men. It can also give you a good idea of who to avoid, which should be obvious at least to most Christians for most of these such as bartenders, casino workers, and others like that.
