In the UK 20% of men are unknowingly raising children that are not biologically theirs . Itβs not an insult to paternity test in the face of these type of statistics. It may be hurtful but itβs definitely necessary imo.
The 20-30% positive-ratio comes from the studies that analyze the results of paternity tests, not the paternity results of all married men.
Don't do it, statistically speaking, men are NOT unknowingly raising children that are not theirs. That is a fake-news talking point that feeds misogynistic believes. If he is guided by this popular belief or you think he doesn't has good intentions, it is your right to confront him.
Even the comments cant math right.
f you only x-ray people with really sore legs, and you find that 50 percent have a broken bone, you can't extrapolate that to say that 59 per cent of people have a broken leg. This is called selection bias. Basically, the reason that they ask for a test is very important in interpreting the actual population statistic based on the sample.
Yeah I wonder what the selection group of people taking paternity tests is 
Even if you have reason to ask for a paternity test, itβs still 70-80% likely the kid is yours. If you wanted another way to look at the data.
The real statistic is right here in the comments. 3/4 of men so who want a paternity test are just paranoid. Male jealousy is, scientifically speaking, bullshit and/or projecting an alarmingly high amount of the time.

This is a totally reasonable critique. You'd need a random sample.

At the same time, a large proportion of "guilty" women either won't allow a test or fess up before the inevitible. The study is only on the truly "not sure" cases.

Women aren't magic so they don't know whose baby it is. If they fess up to cheating a paternity test is done.

Most men are cucks. The few that stand up and get a paternity suggest the problem is much more widespread.

I've got a great idea for getting better stats though, I'm going to start a paternity test company and then lobby the US government to require paternity tests after every birth. The country will get better paternity stats and I'll get rich

There is no state interest. This will never happen. The result just means more wards of the state, leaving a man fricked is infinitely preferable to the state.

But that thread is about men that already decided that they want a paternity test, the subset of men that want a paternity test is most likely more similar to men that have taken a paternity test, than it is to the general population.
