The Graph of Our Lives




None of my daughters believes that this applies.

It will be our end.

You should also load in there the incremental risks of getting breast cancer with delay in childbirth.

Cancer will never frighten them. What could really terrorize them and make to change their behaviour is a scientific study proving that not-getting pregnant will make them fat. They have nightmares of putting on weight.

This is because the fashion industry is run by men who are not interested in having children.

I am unconvinced. Slim girls give better sex than sweating fat ass women. I'm talking of personal experience. Not that I had any experience lately, I am resuming fifty years of living as an actual male.

That's likelihood of getting pregnant per what? Per year? It can't be for the rest of one's life, since I found the graph elsewhere online and it comes with this caveat:

"Figures for women aged 35 are similar, with 94 per cent conceiving within three years. By 38 years of age only 77 per cent of women fall pregnant within three years."

So I don't think the graph means that a 35 year old woman has a 52% chance of ever getting pregnant...

The "sweating, fatass woman" will nourish the baby better.

This is what you have to think about.

By the way, "Sweating, fatass women" sounds like the next Hollywood blockbuster.

"And now. The Oscar...for best male actor. For his role as the neurotic gigolo in Steven Spielberg's "Sweating, fatass women" ..(drumroll, Jane Fonda opens the envelope)...J!!"

Applause, and decivilizational comments by Ricky Gervais.

Only cold, Nordic, Germanic people can do that. They have been heard murmuring "The things I do for England" while doing it.

94% is a fantastically high figure.
It seems incorrect.

94% does seem high. But there's some good info on wikipedia about the subject:

At age 35
66% will have a conception ending in a live birth within one year
84% will have a conception ending in a live birth within four years.

At age 40
44% will have a conception ending in a live birth within one year
64% will have a conception ending in a live birth within four years.
