He links to an academic study done, which you can download, but the author picks 7 data points and analyzes a couple's likelihood of divorcing based on these:

1. How long you were dating
2. How much money you make
3. How often you go to church
4. Your attitude toward your partner (Men are 1.5x more likely to end up divorced when they care more about their partner’s looks, and women are 1.6x more likely to end up divorced when they care more about their partner’s wealth.)
5. How many people attended the wedding
6. How much you spent on the wedding ( Bridezilla = Divorcezilla )
7. Whether you had a honeymoon
   

There's some obvious ones left off, most notably about kids. I'd ask "did you have kids", "did one partner bring kids from a previous relationship", and "did you conceive before marriage". A couple of these points were covered in the study but I haven't had time to decipher the data yet.

The church and size of the wedding look like indications of your support system, not causal factors in themselves. Church is also an indicator of traditional family values. It'd be interesting to ask questions about the split of housework. Also, the income data point doesn't distinguish between who's making the money: husband, wife, both? Who earns more?

Money is obviously a huge stress in relationships. 3 of the 7 points relate directly to money. Also notice the looks vs money relationship: when it comes to the opposite sex, men care about looks, women care about money.

The wedding points are a bit in opposition: you're less likely to divorce if you had a large wedding, but more likely if you spent more on your wedding. Since the cost wedding is a function mostly of how many people attend, there must be a sweet spot in there between the size & cost.

From the bell curve: high IQ correlates with lower divorce rates. Socioeconomic status also correlates with lower risk of divorce, but if you control for IQ, higher SES is linked with higher divorce rates. As in a smart girl from a poor background is your best bet.

Also, previous notch count matters, as has been discussed elsewhere in the manosphere.

Yes, noticeably absent is:



Of course, female promiscuity is correlated with various psychological ills (low IQ, high discount rate, low impulse control, etc.) so it is difficult to see the exact impact of number-of-dicks-taken per se as a driver of divorce risk.

However, ex-ante it's perfectly sensible that hoes cannot be made into housewives, and that greater number-of-dicks-taken per se mitigates both wives' satisfaction toward husbands, and vice versa as well.

From what I've read is that the more educated the couple, i.e. college educated, the better chance they have of staying together. Also I would figure that if a couple is doing well financially that their would be less arguments about money which decreases the chances of divorce. Of course women who have had less partners are more suitable for marriage because who wants to wife up a vagina that has 1,000,000 miles on it.

Unfortunately there are huge number of data-points missing from a Red Pill perspective.

So:

- wealth income before marriage and after
- notch count of both - woman strapped to lie detector, man can be strapped to a lie detector too, because they overstate their numbers a bit, but to a lesser degree than women
- dominance level / Game level of man
- masculine / feminine dichotomy in the relationship
- housework / cooking on male or female side ?
- her weight and workout ration / healthy food habits ?
- his physical shape to a lesser degree
- sex life
- social stance and development
- her position and contact with high level men


Especially the Game factors would be massive. We could easily design a study just by the sheer knowledge of the Manosphere to get really ground-breaking data, but of course most of it would not fit into the current social agendas, so the study itself would be called misogynist despite only data being collected.
