I did a quick search, and this is what popped up re: comparative divorce stats. Not going to waste a lot of time researching your claim for you:

USA: 53%
France: 55%
Estonia: 58%
Luxembourg: 60%
Spain: 61%
Czech Republic: 66%
Hungary: 67%


Divorce in Italy is less frequent mainly because the law makes it difficult, and if it's not by mutual consent, it's very expensive (lawyers, court fees=unaffordable to the average citizen). Here's what came up for divorce in Italy:

A couple divorcing by consent must wait three years to be divorced but couples not divorcing by consent must wait five years after fault has been proved.

I don't really care to be honest it's not just about divorce statistics anyway that was just an example, I've studied them before and don't care to dig them up again. The US is still much higher than many developed countries. Estonia is ex-Soviet Union and poor. I grew up with someone from there she was like 6'5'' and played basketball in college.

As someone that has traveled and talked to many people from other countries, I know some of the differences. I'm merely stating there's amazing people all over the world and the US is falling behind in it's values imo, it's not a big deal. I don't know why people get sensitive about that.

Yes, true; there are amazing people all over the world, including in all 50 states.

That may also hamper interest from women once they get that information too.

Yeah that holds me back as well, even if I can tell the girl is really feeling me, I usually run away because I'm tired of being rejected for it because I'm dirty and diseased. I had completely forgotten that once somebody is HIV+ they are unworthy of love, unless that person is dirty disgusting and diseased just like them right?
