That’s a question Peter Lloyd tackles in a series in London’s Daily Mail about Britain’s marriage rate, which is at its lowest level since 1895. “The state of matrimony is not just ailing. It is dying out faster than a mobile phone battery,” Lloyd writes. “For an army of women, Mr. Right is simply not there, no matter how hard they look for him.”

I do too, but as a Christian the price is exceedingly high (Eph 5:25, Mat 19:8-9) and ought not be entered into lightly, so it's worth it to make sure she's worth it.
Show me a woman that will take ownership of specific wrongs she's done to her man, without coercion, and I might buy it.
I have never met a single woman that will own up to her own rationalizations without a greater goal in mind.
I personally know two men here who had kids , one had two kids and the other one three kids and stay at home wives and both left him and took the kids and filed for child support in their new states far away (one went to England with their kids.)
And they got it, and alimony. Dad is completely screwed.
Neither guy was perfect, but now they have no kids and financial slavery to her instead.
Maryland sucks. The women are very liberal here.
Ya know....I could actually make that fit this conversation.....
Been there, done that 3 times. Ain't gonna be a number 4.

They are fat, have bad teeth, and smoke?
You know I'm still your lover boy I still feel the same way
That's when she told me a story, 'bout free milk and a cow
And said no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' vow
My honey my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself
Pretty much somes it up wouldn't you say?
My experience since my divorce is that today’s woman spends 99.9% of her time either shopping or thinking about shopping.
Being unmarried, I cleaned my house when I had one (it burnt down)cooked for myself and wash my own clothes and even when I am shacking up (shame on me) I never expected them to do these things for me. It was nice when they occasionally did, I’ll admit. I remember it was nice to come home from the mill and chores were done. But marriage is simply not worth the financial risk in my opinion.
News flash! Most of USA sucks except maybe for Utah and small towns in states like in Arkansas where the Duggar family lives.
Yet a Western man of even modest means can go to the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and similar countries and be treated like a movie star, no matter his looks, age, education or physicality. Life isn’t fair, I guess.
Yes.
When feminism started promoting the idea that women can sleep around like whores, (or as men would like to do!) it ruined everything.
Men who want to marry don't want to marry a whore.
I got lucky in that sense, as my wife was never a sleep around type of woman.
And I never slept around, either.
Call it my religious beliefs, or whatever.
Feminism was the worst thing to happen to women IMHO.
Look at all of the sad-sack women hanging out in bars, looking for Mr. Right, all because they know their biological clocks are ticking.
Mr. Right ISN'T at the club.
And if you don't put out on the first date, good luck.
Plenty of Mr. Wrongs out there.
This is true; I haven't found a good woman to marry (and likely won't, at this point) but abstinence has kept me out of a whole lot of pain and sorrows my peers went through.

Phils is Christian and they teach English as a mandatory subject in school. You can get by quite easily speaking English and find a woman with the same religious values. Of course this only works for guys who desire a petite women with long black hair who is most likely to be modest and believes in traditional gender roles within marriage.
I know a real awesome girl and she has enough guys who want to marry her, but what is it with men who tell a girl is okay to wait for him alone in a dark alley, or call and text at 1am, or take her on a date and doesn’t hold the door— just pushes through and lets it slam in her face without noticing, or the ones who treat her like their therapist.
One young lady was asked out by a man then informed he expected her to pay (which might have been okay if discussed prior) and then he wanted her to take him grocery shopping. Where are the men with a little consideration - not perfect, but with a tad bit of classes or common sense? (These are Christian men)
A few years back I had a work trip to Alabama and the people there seemed so nice .
I recall meeting a nice woman on the flight and she said to me “I don't like Obama” bless her heart.
And the difference of course, is the rejection of western liberal ‘values’.
There is not a single thing in creation that liberalism has not damaged severely or destroyed. Cultures rejecting it seem to have far fewer male/female issues for some strange reason. Muslims being the exception but then they don’t qualify as a civilized people anyway.
“You wanna know why I’ll never marry? “
Women reject you based on your attitude?

But the response you guys are having is supporting the feminist agenda 100% Since you guys are supposed to be conservative, maybe you should think smarter and not use language the supports feminism and leftism and GIVES THEM WHAT THEY MOST WANT.
So, all the men who talk about blue pill/red pill, either be smarter and act like men, or just be honest and reregister as a Democrat and support Elizabeth Warren, because your language is already doing that.
