I watched this entire 24 minute video. The speaker is a woman who really understands why men are rejecting marriage. There are very few women who have the insights that this woman has.

For example, she says that you can shame a man into going off to fighting in a war and dying for his country, but you can't shame him into living the lifestyle that modern, left wing feminists want him to live.

I will never re-marry. And my oldest will NEVER marry either. We are both working on my youngest, to make sure he is educated in the ways of gynocentrism and the idea of MGTOW.

You haven’t seen anything. They shamed man into living feminist lifestyle. By the way, feminist don’t want marriage they’re doing everything to stop people from marrying. So the person who’s writing this is kind of misguided.

If I got the boot, I would never, ever do it again.

A friend of mine got recently married for the 4th or 5th time. I don’t see how anyone does that.

Ya what’s going on here? On the one hand feminists will say a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

Feminists say that marriage is an oppressive patriarchal institution in which women don’t have equal rights.

On the other hand they are lamenting that men don’t want to marry them???

One thing that has bothered me a great deal concerning my younger brother’s two marriages (the first ended in divorce, while the current one has lasted about 13.5 years) is how rude the both of them were to my parents on frequent occasions. It’s as if women nowadays are told to think that not only their husbands but also their in-laws are these ignorant morons who never can do any right.

I live in a liberal craptopia.

The local marriage age women, by and large, are walking stereotypes of the worst of our modern society.

Let's just say they aren't exactly marriage material.

My wife is beautiful, sweet, and from Korea. Problem solved.

My brother’s first wife put him through hell - no to mention everyone else. After her death, I was very surprised when he started dating again almost immediately.

Now he is married to a very pleasant woman who adores him. Everybody likes her, and life is very nice. He even has a little five-year-old stepson at age 60.

Tough for the younger ones now who dont have very many normal marriages to learn from. Divorce seems the norm or single parents. Throw in the same sex fake marriages or people just shacking up plus the leftist regressive feminazi propaganda and it’s an unholy mess. Too bad because having a great marriage is truly a blessing.

I’m 56, DEEPLY in love...and I don’t plan on marrying Beau. I DID, however, take the big diamond ring when offered. I’m no fool; I can cash it in and buy a milk cow if need be. ;)

We have everything set up legally to take care of one another should one or the other die. If we die together, all of our ‘stuff’ goes to our two favorite siblings. (We don’t have any dependents.)

We’re in this until they carry one of us out feet first! :)

I’ve been married a time or two, but this is the FIRST TIME I’ve ever felt I was on the same page with a man. It’s AMAZING what you can accomplish when you’re both pulling the yoke in the same direction, together. *HEART*

Never been married myself. I don’t regret it one bit.

I was married exactly 20 years. Although I was happy, and evidently delusional, I can't see any reason I would do it again.

I have worked out hard all my life to stay in shape, managed my financial life and have a house and a retirement plan.

The available women my age are mostly fat, look like men. None have a retirement plan or any plan on getting one.

What would be the possible upside ?

She is about 50, which is 10 years younger than he is. She had her child as late in life as is practical.

He is a handful, but at least is he outnumbered.

People that are selfish, do not do well in marriage.
Don’t marry leftists/selfish people. They tend to be mentally unstable.
Marriage is a wonderful and amazing thing with the right person.
