There is a whole lot of OTHER reasons men are not getting married.

A family court system that will bankrupt them for life
Women who are feminist-nazis are not marriage material
Affirmative action that has destroyed college slots and employment for men
Etc.

Nah, atheistic anti-family culture, education and family courts is more the culprit.

Some of us knew that in 1968.

>>The Transformation of Men

Men didn’t really change. Women changed. Then men re-prioritized.

'Cheap sex' is making men give up on marriage

But great sex is best in a committed relationship.

I came of age in the late 70s/early 80s. Women then still looked pretty darn good. Too many young women these days look like overweight, sexless blobs. Totally unappealing. And a lot of men are not much better. Honestly, I’d say about 50% of young women these days look undatable to me.

When I look at other couples in public, a lot of them just seem hopelessly out of shape. They way they walk and act implies they are damaged in some way. I rarely, if ever, noticed that growing up.

From what I’ve seen, American physical attractiveness peaked in the early 1960s (for both sexes).

In economic terms, we have reduced the risk and quality value premium between the cost of marrying “normal” women and prostitutes to almost nothing.

Also, where I live, I’ve noticed Asian massage parlors popping up like weeds over the last 5-7 years. They are not quite as numerous as nail salons, but getting there. Would not happen unless men were paying big $$ for happy endings.

I am not so sure this isn’t somewhat true.
Look at all the single “adults” still living at home.
Why buy the milk if the cow is free.
And why bother to leave the farm if you arnt really expected to work for your keep?

B-B-B-baby baby baby why you wan’ treat me this way
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

“with porn on-demand and greater reproductive freedom, sex is a commodity available at any time.”

$300+ per hour is not cheap. Even then, you might be talking about her having a “look but don’t touch” policy. “Cheap sex”...yeah, sure.

“Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.” …

— Manifesto, ch. 2

  1. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
  2. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
  3. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”
  4. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
  5. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
  6. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. …
— The Naked Communist, ch. 12
Same old tactics as before, except they are entrenched far more deeply these days.

American women are singularly unattractive. They dress, look and act like prostitutes. Why is anyone surprised this is the result?

I too will bemoan the ramifications on marriage, which society needs lots of.

But, there’s always a but. The consequences of a bad marriage on a man cause many not to go there. Not saying it is rosy for the female.

“...meant to describe sex that has very little cost in terms of time or emotional investment, “

I have no problem with the time or emotional investment...it’s the alimony that wrecks me.

Cheap sex will not doom marriage because sex is not the only reason men want to get married. Sure, most men have a promiscuous streak, and most would probably be promiscuous if they had nothing to lose, but in the end men want love, homes, a safe place to raise their children, and lots of other things that they can’t get from cheap sex.

No, it’s feminism and family/divorce court.

“When God curses you, he makes all your dreams come true”

And now feminism is absolutely surrounded by protectors; cops, courts, counselors, CPS, many others.

BUT NO MARRIAGE.
