American culture is not homogeneous. So long as they have traditional cultures mixed up in the numbers with the dominant secular culture the lesson you are trying to learn from the correlation is in error.

If you are trying to avoid divorce, choosing your partner based upon her sexual history, and reducing that to a number, is not going to serve you as well as picking a partner for compatibility and attributes.

They in no way established that the more slutty members of the predominant culture are more likely to get divorced, all the numbers showed is that people from traditional or religious cultures that do not cohabitate and are not promiscuous also do not divorce.

Previously this same correlation was used to imply a causative effect of increasing divorce if you choose to live together first. Absolute bunk.

Do you understand why?

OK cool. Look, I'm not married to the study. I didn't do the study. I didn't study the methods or data. I read the excerpt and used it to comment on feminism and the degradation of the culture. Your comments are even better than just slut vs. chaste. I also believe there's a component in there related to religiosity. I think religiosity, Christianity especially, helps people restrain their fallen nature that would lead to higher divorce rates. Thanks for clarifying. Your earlier postings were hard to follow.

Men should look for a religious, chaste woman if they want to not be cleaned out in divorce.

Thanks for pointing that out.
