...Thank you for proving the point It's not like I've said this millions of times on multiple threads only to be jumped on by a certain group of people. Glad to see you're in agreement

Actually, as I expected, YOU are taking what I am saying out of context. I am FAR from agreeing with you on ANY point. I am relating their research information is skewed, because they are not giving the proper considerations.
I see where I was looking at the numbers differently, but I still do not believe that you can make a proper research when you can't guarantee that all persons interviewed will give their honest response. I can most likely go to the mall, and interview 100 married men who are standing there with their wife, and ask them if they have ever cheated on their spouse. The chance that those who HAVE cheated will admit it in front of their spouse I think most people here would agree would be near zero. So my research would show that out of 100 men, only 1% of them have cheated on their spouse, when in fact, it might be a higher number...Do you understand the point I am trying to make here?
Lets use your numbers from your own research....lets say we interviewed 1,000,000 married couples. Of that number, 2%, or 20,000 of them are in an open marriage, Of THAT number, 1-2% or a mere 200 to 400 of them cite that they divorced because of a 3-some. that means that 19,600 to 19,800 of them were divorced for a different reason. Looks like still a pretty good argument that DISCREDITS 3-somes cause marital failure. Remember, I am using YOUR research.
I have been in the lifestyle of threesomes and swinging for close to 20 years, and we tend to usually keep things like that to ourselves. I would NEVER admit to anyone on this thread whom I didn't trust that we have engaged in this type of thing. That is why we have no photos of ourselves anywhere on this board. We like our privacy.

Get some information to back up the reasons why you disagree. Until then, you're just holding an unsubstantiated opinion
|
I do not have to have proof to disagree, based on personal experiences. How many of the researchers have actually been in a relationship of this type themselves? Yet they get their information from interviewing those people like ME who are their "test subjects" for lack of a better term. If you were actually involved and KNEW the people that I know, you might form a different opinion of your own. Who knows? As I have stated before, you can't base FACTS from a research where the "facts" are coming from a situation where PERSONAL THOUGHTS and emotions can affect the outcome of the "facts". If one chooses to not disclose information, don't you agree that the outcome will be changed? Was the survey anonymous? Was it taken from a small area or local? Or was it taken in a large city? There are too many variables that do not in my belief substantiate the claims that are being expressed. Sorry, but again, I do not agree with the results.

No offense or anything, but what's the point in presenting you with any kind of information if you're just gonna' turn around and ignore it or pretend you didn't see it? Really. This'll be the second time in as many months as you've tried that
|
I NEVER have turned away and ignored ANYTHING that you have said. I HAVE however said that I disagree with the validity of the research you are using to substantiate your side of the argument. So here I will stop YOU, as you have said to me before.
