Regardless, entering into a marriage is not what it used to be; the courts are heavily favored towards women and the divorce rate is high. It has made men question whether its logical to enter into a state binding agreement where they will be penalized. The book "Men on Strike" is a good anecdotal book on how over time men have opted out of marriage and other former expectational norms.
Now I am divorced and date in one of the places to find good women; Washington DC. The liberal wackjobbery here permeates everything.
All I know, is this thread makes me happy I don’t know most of the guys here and that I’ve got a fantastic man at home who I love more than anything on earth. He is my life.
