I'm going to go so far as to openly question statistics in the absence of substantiated fact, i.e., surveys representative of the community that exists in toto, something more than conjecture based upon shared experiences of people with obviously similar values, pure, unadulterated fantasy masquerading as science.
This is OPINION not demonstrable FACT, and I challenge it, because I have either been in or have known of or know several relationships that conform to the broad and pejorative definitions of "unicorn/unicorn hunters."
It is not my contention that such arrangements necessarily last forever, but of those I have known or been involved in, most were secure and stable.
Fact. My former wife and I met and became involved with a lady who was involved with both of us, an arrangement that lasted two years.
Fact. We met another partner, who also conformed to the above definition, an arrangement that lasted seven years.
Fact. We met yet another partner, who also conformed to the above, an arrangement that lasted six years.
Fact. My current wife and I met a lady, who was interested in the same kind of relationship, but we mutually chose to move on before it became too complicated. Just didn't quite mesh.
I'm one guy, not anybody's Adonis or special ray of sunshine, but have had MULTIPLE relationships of this type. Somehow, when these kinds of supposed statistics are put together to demonstrate a particular point of view, such inconvenient facts are ignored.
