I concur with this assessment.
MGTOW.com - It saves men's lives and reveals some parts of human nature that you need to know and society doesn't want you to know. You will become very familiar with the term AWALT - All Women Are Like That. Most marriages are not worth the risk these days. And before anyone flames me for this or tries to claim misogyny, I say this as a Christian. It saddens me that society has broken down to this point, but marriage is a horrible survival move for men with society such as it is.
There are good women out there, but they all change over time and there is no way to really tell how they will turn out. Keep in mind that marriages fail on average about 50% of the time and that on average 70%+ of these divorces are initiated by women. Marriage is a rigged game and is akin to playing Russian Roulette with half of the chambers loaded.
Actually there is good news in that 50 per cent number. They actually find that about less than a third of marriages fail but second or more marriages tend to fail at rates of 65 per cent or above...there bye skewing the over all divorce rate! The 50 per cent number is often quoted by progressive leftists seeking to destroy our Judeo Christian world view on marriage and families. Lying...it’s what leftists do! Still 33 per cent of first marriages fail and that’s still way too high!
In my observation, most marriages that fail do so because people got married for the wrong reasons in the first place.
When I was young, and falling-in-love romantically every six months, the best advice I ever received was from a minister who told me: ‘Marry the man who feels like your best friend.’
I waited a long time to get married, because I couldn’t find that ‘best friend’. It got to where I thought I’d be an ‘old maid’. I wasn’t a wallflower, or ugly - men often told me that I was beautiful, and some even told me that beauty can frighten the best men away.
But looks can be false advertising, in women: a beautiful woman can be very serious, and not interested in fooling around; a plain woman can be very fascinating, if you give her a chance, and get beyond your need for the ‘hot’ factor.
I waited and waited, and then one day, I found my Best Friend. Twenty-three years, now, and going strong.
My brother has been through two painful divorces. He admits, now, that he was looking for the wrong thing in the first place. (Women look for the wrong thing, too.)
I think it’s wonderful when very young people fall into innocent love, get married, and have great families; but nowadays that innocence is thwarted by the culture. Too many people marry before they even know who they are, and their choices are based on nutty notions ingrained by popular culture before they’re old enough to realize they’ve been brainwashed.
Take your time - think of the thousands of redundant leaves on any tree: God didn’t make this a paltry world, He made it overabundant with possibility, and you don’t have to rush into anything, you don’t have to feel that there’s only ‘so much time.’ There’s all the time in the world. Take time to find your Best Friend.
And Parents: raise your kids to respect and EXpect *character* in a mate. If you instill character in your child, they will want that in their complement; and there will be far fewer sad divorce stories.

I agree on everything you said. And I get chastised by White Knights, Man Boobs, and Blue Pill Betas who have an old fashioned view of marriage that does not match Red Pill reality.
