Iteresting stat: ONLY 3% of men...

[Frank O]

That write women actually ever get on a plane & go over there. WOW!! You'd figure with so few of them going it would increase our chances but I guess not. I wonder if the WOMEN would treat the men different if THEY knew?
Having said that I got married already & mine was pretty fast.

Regardless of the true number,which is simply unknowable, I am sure that the percentage is a low one.

This 3% statistic has been repeated for many years.
It has no basis in fact.

...Actually, I heard it was 5% but never put any value in that either. Just what is the source of this "data"? And this from a guy who seemingly didn't check out anything else about this process before he jumped in?

I guess it's true what they say: 62.8% of all people make up their own statistics.

If it really is that low a percentage it doesn't bode well. From all the losers I've seen over there it would mean the total percentage of misfits in MOB is far greater than anyone (other than me) tends to believe...

I received that in an e mail. It doesn't matter to me as I've said I'm already married. I just thought I'd post it here. Actually I figured it might encourage some of the guys here who have NOT made the trip yet. I think it might be somewhere around that # simply because of men I've met who are MARRIED, or who simply have NO PLANS on going & do it as a sort of sick fantasy thing & thus waste a girls time.
