1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 2: Really interesting story I was reading overnight. I've been reading 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: a few articles about relationships only because we've been talking 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: about like hot to trying to put people together. I 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: don't know whether we're doing that. Yeah, we're doing traffic dating. 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: Well, everyone's talking about this party. Everyone it's a party. 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. And if we're in charge of it, 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: then I need to know who. Well, if we're all 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: in charge of it, so you're going, not who I'm going, 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: but who I should have my eye on on the 11 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: night and the guys. So this article had two very 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: interesting points to it. First of all, it's about the 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 2: age gap within a relationship, and that the age gap 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: and how many years are between you can determine how 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: successful the relationship might be. So there's sort of the 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: sweet spot of age gap. It's funny you should say that. 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: That's what the article. The actual line which I highlighted was, 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: but where is the sweet spot? And that's what you're 19 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: asking the article they analyzed about three thousand people, and 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: researchers concluded that couples with a five year age gap 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: are about eighteen percent more likely to split up in 22 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: contrast to those within the same kind of age gap, 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: couples with a ten year age gap, so if you 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: jump up again, they have a bigger chance of separating. 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: That's at about thirty nine percent. And then if you 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: go into a relationship, whereas there is a twenty year 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: age gap, chances are you have ninety five percent. Why 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: are you looking at me? I'll grow up ninety five 29 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: percent for those with it, Yeah, with a twenty year 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: age gap. 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: I disagree with that because as anyone read the article 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: the other day, Mick Jagger, it looks like it's about 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: to have his ninety at the age of eighty. 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: Rock stars sit outside mata. Is there like a forty 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: year age. 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Did anyone just quickly on that as well? Did anyone 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: see Mick Jagger rocked up with his party of people 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: at a band cares at a band that was playing 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: covers and they were playing moves like Jagger from Maroon five, 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: And there's footage of Mick Jagger dancing, and no one 41 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: in the room knows he's there because he's sort of 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: out the back in the dark, and he's dancing to 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: the cover band who's playing moves like Jagger. 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: Because he can't stop his hips. So Katie, if you 45 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: were sort of forty five yep to sort of if 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: you were considered going either way, but if you went 47 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: down to sort of the ope, I know what you're 48 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: trying to do here, just quickly the other pretty high 49 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: the other and now I'm trying to find it on 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: the page. So age gap can determine the success of 51 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: a relationship. Write that down for the singles party and 52 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: then the other word I've never heard of before, And 53 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: this comes from experts. Maybe take it home and discuss 54 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: it over the dinner table tonight. 55 00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: What is it? 56 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: Chances of having a more successful relationship depend on whether 57 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: you decide to have a relationship that is monogamish, which means. 58 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 59 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: The movement encourages people to explore and have my god, 60 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: intimate experiences with people other than their partner, but to 61 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: not form emotional connections with those people outside the relationship. 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: Sounds like a cover band. 63 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Or it's like you're a land to hook up with 64 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: a girl called Michelle or something monogash. 65 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: Good one, but don't don't get liking her. That's where 66 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: the troubles starts. Physical only. Kate Ritchie is a Nova 67 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: podcast a great shows like this.
