Better Bachelor showed that graph 2 years ago and it was dated when he showed it. I think he said it was from 2018, which means it's approaching a decade old. It's surely only gotten worse since then. The risk/reward ratio of marriage hasn't been reasonable for men since long before any of us were born, but "no hymen no diamond" is the only risk management strategy that's anything near approaching adequate for men who insist on rolling the dice.
>13 partners has lower divorce chance than 5-12 partners
I'm sensing a low sample size. Also, that chart doesn't specify if the partners were previous, but does limit the population to people who never remarried. In other words, single women are more likely to increment their partner counts. Which should be kind of obvious. And the odds of someone having been divorced in the past goes up with their age, so now we're at, "single women more likely to increment partner count as time goes on."
Maybe it is really pre-marriage partner count, but it isn't labeled as such. It's not a great chart.
Some stats show that even just having 3 previous boyfriends will significantly impact their ability to stay in a long term marriage.
