If you’re in your 20s, you’re probably
thinking
that you’ve got stacks of time to find
The One,
settle down and relinquish your
irresponsible
single life. But apparently, you don’t.
Because according to something
called the
‘37% Rule’, the perfect age to get
married is
26.
The 37% Rule is basically the theory
that you
need to screen a range of options in a
limited
time frame. That could be jobs, new
flats,
prospective housemates or romantic
partners.
And the best time to make that
decision is
when you’ve looked at 37% of the
options
available.
At that part of the selection process,
you’ve
gathered enough information to make
a
considered decision without having
wasted too
much time assessing further,
unnecessary
options. After you’ve seen just over a
third of
the contenders, you’re in the perfect
position
to choose the best.
And according to ‘ Algorithms to Live
By: The
Computer Science of Human
Decision’, co-
authored by journalist Brian Christian
and
cognitive scientist, that means that by
26,
you’ve assessed enough of human
nature to
pick your life partner.
It’s based on the given that most of us
are
looking for love between the ages of
18 and 40
– meaning that the optimal age for
seriously
thinking about committing to
someone is just
past your 26th birthday – 37% into the
22-
year window.
Before then, you’re missing out on
potentially
higher-calibre partners and after that,
your
good options start to diminish,
basically
meaning that unless you settle, you’ll
be alone
forever.
So, that’s good.
