What Are Your Romance Odds?

Will you find romance in the workplace? Odds are about 55% that you will kiss at the water cooler.

Will that handsome older guy ever commit? The chances of a 45-year old bachelor ever marrying are only 1.2%.

Glad you made the break? After divorce, about 85% of women report being happier with their newly single status, whereas only 58% of men are glad they made the break.

Will you know me when? Those who marry at 24 are more likely to get divorced than those who marry at 34. The divorce rate is particularly high for those who marry in their 20's and steadily declines with age.

Here's to you Mrs. Robinson: a mere 35% of women between the ages of 40-44 will have sex more than twice a week.

The above facts and figures were taken from What Are the Chances? Risks and Odds in Everyday Life by James Burke (Citadel Press)
