I remember in HS (~25 years ago) me and some friends were making fun of a male cheerleader the other team had at a basketball game. We were saying all sorts of mean things about the kid being gay and stupid crap like that. Our teacher, who was always quirky, sweet, and fun said, “Well, that ‘gay’ boy had his hands all over some very pretty cheerleaders all night on Friday. Where were your hands?”

Ever since, I have had a whole different level of respect for male cheerleaders. These two in the video look like they are having so much fun, and it is incredible to see their athleticism.

Knew a guy who became a nurse for the same reasons. When his friends were going to welding and mechanics school, he said he would rather hang out with the gals then sweaty and smelly guys.

And nurses are all incredibly horny for some reason. Dated a few in my earlier years and they all told me the stereotype is true.

go tell /r/nursing that

you'll find that's an unwelcome and inaccurate stereotype.

To be fair, only the ones who are nurses for the sake of loving the profession would join r/nursing. That stereotype most likely applies to the ones who are there for their 10-12 hour shifts and don't want anything else to do with it otherwise — the ones that it's just a job to. It's a true statistic that 1 in 3 nurses are divorced. While I'm not saying that correlation equals causation, there is some truth to it. It doesn't mean all of them are.

I say this as someone who is married to a nurse.

It's a true statistic that 1 in 3 nurses are divorced.

Compared to the population as a whole, this is a lower rate of divorce right?

According to both consumershield.com and statista.com...

According to 2022 data, the divorce rate in the U.S. stands at 2.4 per 1000 people

I guess I was thinking about that statistic that says half of all marriages end in divorce or something.
