Can’t blame the men. Between women giving it up to a man because he said, “hi” and the courts taking him to the cleaners and making him financially responsible for children that weren’t his, because the wife had them with somebody else.
Why would a man marry?
It’s all going according to plan.
why should men marry? its been made an irrelevant institution by secularists.
What man in his right mind wants to marry some woman from this whiny, complainy, gripey bunch of libbers?!
Somebody raised them, and I suspect I know who. Some are my ex-friends, and maybe even a family member or two. I saw it going bad back then, there was not FR, and I was mostly alone. Now we see what the little acorns have turned into, after being watered and cared for these many years. There is a mental difference in parents like that from those who raise nice kids. Used to a community could shame parents into doing the right thing.
Women who hop in bed on the first date are not seen as marriage material.
Besides, why should the guy commit to someone who will treat him like shit, eventually hop in bed with someone else and then divorce him and take half his stuff?
It works the other way too. I’m female and didn’t marry because most of the guys I met were irresponsible losers. It takes two people to make a marriage work and most of the guys I knew wanted the woman to do all the work. I suppose they thought women’s lib meant they didn’t have to do anything anymore. Wrong.
Personal interest bump.
Like they say, why pay for the cow when you can get the milk for free?
BTW, my wife died in 2000. I have been single since then. Very sadly so...
Marriage is a penalty for being stupid enough to fall for it.
So many woman deciding it’s fair to their kids to have children out of wedlock and then finger pointing the fathers for support. I’m surprised the guys aren’t the ones insisting on wearing protection
Men complaining about women complaining about men.
Ideas have consequences.
I truly feel sorry for young women today......they have had over 40 years of indoctrination starting with their (feminist) moms and with much help from the media and entertainment industry.
Sex and the City is one small example.
Ideas have repercussions.
Once upon a time our nation was Judeo/Christian......there were moral standards most women wanted to abide by.
I shutter at the casual approach to ‘relationships’ now......the ‘hooking up’ society.
.....and its aftermath.......disease, humility, lack of personal responsibility, fear, lack of confidence, abortion, depression.
I can still hear Helen Reddy singing .....’I am woman, hear me roar.’.....
.....except ........instead.......it’s a whine and whimper now.
Indeed. In America women now only bring misery into marriage.
My first marriage ended in divorce because I didn't actually know the women I was marrying and the real "Mrs. Chainmail I" despised me despite some really supreme efforts to make things work. When everything ended, she was living with a former police officer within four days, our daughter began to be weapon against me for the next 12 years, and she got everything I owned and I got all of the debts.
I dated for a while, but the field was mostly other people who had been divorced ("the second bounce") and usually they harbored deep resentments against all men from their first experiences and they had resentful children in the package.
Despite all of this, as with Churchill's definition of subsequent marriages being a "triumph of hope over experience", there's a new (for the last 16 years ) Mrs. Chainmail and all is going quite well - but this time, I made sure I knew for sure who the person was that I was committing my life, my treasure, and all my future.
Marriage is God’s idea. You don’t have to be a Christian to have a good marriage but you need to base your marriage on Christian principles. Men and women who spend their single years sleeping around don’t deserve a good marriage.
“prenups, baby; prenups” /Obscure
For most of human history it has been the man who initiates the divorce. These days its the women. 70% iirc of all divorces are filed by the wife. In many of these she just wants a change of scenery with new boyfriend, new husband down the road. And why not if the hapless schmuck she married is going to be paying out for her new, fun “lifestyle” where she gets the house and primary custody of the children. Meaning the ex-husband will get a vastly inferior role in seeing his children grow up and participating in raising them.
Too many heartless conniving wives have opted for the above scam AKA taking the ex to the cleaners via our liberal-feminist dominated court system.
Young guys are wise to the racket so are not marrying as often plus they can usually find free uncommitted sex so that part gets taken care of at least.
