Marriage today is a racket run by women for women, enforced by the courts and the jails. You sound like an embittered divorced man who lost custody of his kids. And here I had somehow gotten the impression that you are a Roman Catholic priest, who would naturally encourage holy matrimony as a beautiful vocation. Am I wrong?

"ROFLMTO! Good one!"
Thanks! It's really difficult to be serious about the topic, because so many wrongs have been committed with bad laws and policies since the 1960s. We went from bad enough to far worse.
During the 1960s, there were two divorced drunks--a man and a woman--on my block out of roughly, maybe 40 families. Physical fights were very rare and restricted to those two individuals over the course of more than 10 years. Now, most of the neighbors are divorced and/or cohabiting and on drugs. The neighborhood is mostly a mess of miseries being repeatedly recycled through the system.

>>>But today, sex is cheap. And that changes everything.
No, its dangerous for the guy.<<<
Two sides of the same coin really: The price for not getting married isn’t much at all, since cheap sex exists. While the penalty for picking the wrong woman to marry is sky high (divorce rape).

You must not have heard that erectile dysfunction is a growing problem among young men. It turns out real women can’t excite them the way porn does.

The penalty for picking the wrong woman is sky high, and divorce rape is the least of it.

If women would keep their legs shut, men would have no choice but to do that.

Stop victim-blaming.
Note when a young woman follows her tingles and sleeps with a badboy, and inevitably gets pregnant, it's always the guy's fault?
And when a young man does everything right, and ends up alone, it's always his fault?
Men are seeing through the sham: women get to sleep around before marriage but still demand to marry just as high a quality man as if they were a virgin.
Once married, women are allowed to drop out of the workforce -- but men can't.
And women are allowed to have abortions unilaterally, but men can't have vasectomies unilaterally.
And after divorce, the man is still on the hook for $$$ with none of the other benefits of marriage accruing; so put the shoe on the other foot. Would women marry if a man could unilaterally divorce her, severing his requirement to provide, but she was still required to come over and give him sexual favors, without any guarantee of more than token connection with her own children?

Yes, I’m in the same camp you are. Although I try to treat women with respect, I’m not considered courtship material either.
These women who run around banging so-called alphas in their 20s, and then desperately seek a quality man in their 30s, when they’re losing their looks, can s*** my d***, as far as I’m concerned.
And of course, the good women are usually taken by sometime in their 20s. Why? Because they’re actually GOOD, that’s why.

I think some of them do reform, after a time, perhaps becoming “born-again virgins” seeking quality men, but I don’t have the patience to weed them out from all other ones.
