If a man wants children marriage is the only way to at least have a shot at having some say in raising him. So this makes sense to me.

What I have observed HERE is that wimmin decide they don't need a husband to have their own family, they have the uterus and the eggs all they need to create their own (and an added bonus is court ordered child support).

I know one who works as a GS (Federal gov) who went to a dating site for the sole purpose to find a willing sperm donor so she could be a Mom.

This DC/Balt area has the highest % of unmarried women in the country.

I go by the study I once found, Single women live longest followed down the reasonable path to single men having the shortest life expectancy.

Just a quick google revealed this (divorced/single mothers are in the single men range):

One of the strongest recurrent findings in this literature on marital status and health has been the presence of gender differences in the relationship between marital status and health outcomes (Umberson, 1992). Being married is associated with greater protection for men compared to women, therefore gender stratified analysis have become commonplace in much of this work (Kaplan & Kronick, 2006; Scafato et al., 2008). Various explanations have been proposed

Single mothers are the biggest social liability in this country in terms of poverty, crime, depression, etc. I’m sure there are exceptions to this rule, but if more women married their child’s father...we’d be a lot lot lot better off as a country.

Problem is every generation is marketed or sold on the idea of more and more. Men and women both believe they deserve EVERYTHING out of life and no one learns their own limits and what they truly desire. So they aim for everything and end-up finding out their limits.

To me it’s family and happiness. Career, wealth and materialism are fleeting. It’s impractical not to have some focus on the basics of those things, but to be sold media into a lifestyle is sheepish problem we’re presented with.

First, I'd like to see more of the details of this survey by from Citi and LinkedIn. It would be interesting to see the survey wording and the actual numbers.

Having said that, it does seem pretty clear that women have bought into the Liberal lie, hook, line, and sinker. They don't need marriage. They don't need men and they don't need children. Abortion is their religious practice and self actualization is their god.

What this survey doesn't measure, and can't measure is the misery, unhappiness, and destroyed lives in the wake of these women. Yeah, they have bought into the lie of Liberalism, but at what cost, to themselves and others?

Hell, a lot of women just see marriage as an investment plan nowadays. Find a dupe with a job, put in a few years with him to keep up appearances, pop out a kid or two, and then you have a nice financial nest egg. Then they can go and look for their “true love”, now that they have that out of the way.

Hmmmm, seems I recall not to long ago and article where men were swearing off marriage. Can't say I blame them, very very few “old fashioned” girls around anymore.

Married women live longer than men because
they want to.

A new survey suggests that marriage is actually more important to men than it is to women. In fact, just since last year, the number of women who say their definition of success is not linked to marriage (or relationships at all) has nearly doubled.

That's because "is your definition of success also linked to your being married" is a stupid question. The way our ladies are indoctrinated, this is no way to ask such a question.

I'd settle for a nice simple: "Would you like some day to be married?"

Man’s choice is: Marriage or financial slavery and rarely being able to see your kids.

Woman’s choice is: Marriage or receive child support, possibly alimony, possibly gov’t assistance, and able to see your kids most of the time.

“A new survey suggests ......”

Surveys “suggest” many things. LOL

In 3 more days, I will have had the pleasure of being married to my bride for 41 wonderful years. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world.

When we met, I had every intention of being single forever. She wasn’t the least bit interested in me. Poof.... things changed. LOL

She remains beautiful inside and out. God gave me an angel and He gave her a full-time job....me.

We raised 2 wonderful children, a daughter and a son, and we now have 8 amazing grandchildren.

She has been at my deathbed a couple of times and helped to bring me back. She helped me to become a success at many things in life.

If she were to pass before me, I doubt that I would last for more than 30 days. Not because I couldn’t take care of myself, but because living without her simply wouldn’t be worth the bother.

When I look into her eyes, I still see that vibrant 20 year old gal that I fell in love with at first sight.

People can “survey” all they want, it’s either magic... or it’s not.

Women lie to get what they want...men.

Men lie to get ewhat they want....inside women.

Run the responses to this study through that filter and the study makes perfect sense.
