Your math teacher was right – math does apply in every day life, in everything. \u00a0Even in relationships, dating and breakups – although I would agree with Jerry Seinfeld when he said accounting does not belong in successful dating\/relationships! \u00a0But the statistics do exist. \u00a0Here are three graphical representations of the relationship, dating, and breakup trends…it’s kind of like an adult version of the school science fair:<\/p>\n

1) When do most breakups occur? \u00a0The breakup curve climbs after February 14th, Valentine’s day, peaks at March and then spikes up again on April 1st, April Fool’s Day (no joke!). \u00a0In the fall the breakups rate is at the lowest, and then right before the winter holidays it peaks up.<\/p>\n

\"Likelihood<\/p>\n

How accurate is it? \u00a0It was made by \u00a0measuring\u00a0“the frequency of the words ‘breakup’ or ‘broken up’ out of all Facebook status updates on each day.” \u00a0Need some salt with that?<\/span><\/p>\n

2) If you’re dating someone under 30, there’s a 53 percent chance that they won’t even bother to break up with\u00a0you in person. \u00a0For all those growing up in the 90’s, as Stephanie\u00a0on “Full House” puts it: ‘How rude!’<\/p>\n

\"Method<\/p>\n

This data was collected using a polling app on Facebook asking single users how they ended their last relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Lots of statistics here…<\/p>\n

\"Relationships<\/p>\n

There are about 3 million first dates every day worldwide. \u00a0In the US, 2.5 million people per year get married\u00a0and over 1 million divorces are filed each year. \u00a0Worldwide, 5.4% nevery marry. \u00a047% of men and 40% of women worldwide have had a one-night stand.<\/p>\n

36% of adults admit to breaking up with someone due to looks. \u00a0More break up reasons: 3.5%: Parents\/Friends didn’t approve, 16-21% Distance, 18-22% Cheating, 26-28% Lose Interest, 30-32% Other.<\/p>\n

56% of all adults claim to be unhappy with their sex life. \u00a022% of people worldwide have had an affair – 58% in Turkey, 39% in Iceland, 26% in Italy, 17% in USA, 14% in the UK, 11% in Hong Kong, and 7% in Israel.<\/p>\n

The statistics even include that relationships bring in $18 million USD in annual revenue for 1-800-flowers.<\/p>\n

Nice science project. \u00a0Now forget about it all, and jump into your next relationship with all the hopes and dreams you want.<\/p>\n
