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.

One more...it ends your sex life.
I agree. Marriage becomes less and less a desirable option because of negative attitudes towards men, divorce laws that are skewed against men, easier access to sex outside of marriage, lack of career opportunity for men, etc.
Women who are feminist-nazis are not marriage material
Bingo!
Thanks for bringing it up. It’s those “OTHER” reasons that you don’t hear much about. Why is that?
BINGO!! Not just bankrupt them, FORCE THEM TO WORK AND SUPPORT the ungrateful b*tches under threat of jail-time if they don't.
YES, that's exactly what is going on here in Illinois.
Yep. A man would have to be an idiot to get married today, and I’ve been married forty years.
Exactly. American young men today are taking a YUGE disc with their future if they marry an American girl.
And the odds are not in their favor.
Actually men tend to get affirmative action now in college admissions. So many more women than men are applying to college that schools are at risk of reaching the tipping point ratio (somewhere around 60/40) by which women lose interest in attending a particular college.
YEs, I’d think all of those play a role more than “cheap sex”. A few decades ago the same media was trumpeting “cheap sex” as the greatest thing since sliced bread; now they see men able to recreate sexually as well and it is a problem...
Do I sense a tad of bitterness? While these things are all true to an extent, it works both ways. I know women whose husbands walked out on them leaving them high and dry with the kids. Yes, they paid child support, but had little to do with their children otherwise, and the women found themselves suddenly struggling to make ends meet.
Besides all the other reasons for the decline of marriage and increase in divorce is the ability of women to support themselves financially. Many people stayed in unhappy marriages because they couldn’t afford divorce.
All of the reasons are sad, and there is no guarantee that a marriage will last even if both people claim to be committed to making it work. We live in disruptive times, and I’m not sure it will get better. The best shot at a successful marriage is a man and woman who are serious about their vows before God, but sometimes someone’s sinful nature wins out over that. Depending on emotions certainly isn’t sufficient.
These days, apparently, one doesn't have to choose.
True.
