Why men won't get married anymore: Women complain chaps today won't settle down.

“Men who think all money coming into a marriage belongs to him alone...”

Well, Scott didn’t say a word about “all the money coming into a marriage”, did he? Why would you assume that is what he meant if he didn’t say that?

Oh yeah, that’s right, because it gives you a convenient excuse to try your shaming tactics on him.

Skip Child Support. Go to Jail. Lose Job. Repeat.

[I want the USA back]

For starters, when you marry someone, that person has claim on half of ALL your assets.
This is why hordes of Russian and Ukrainian women fall “madly” in love with American men at first sight.

IMO, no-fault divorce laws are largely to blame. As it stands now a woman could run off and sleep with the entire New York Jets football squad, and her betrayed hubby would still have to pay her support.

Not true. There is still fault divorce and adultery is one of the supported fault divorce claims. It will cost a bit more and take more time to establish fault but it is still there.

At 56 i’ve been asked numerous times by women why i’ve never been married and i always give the same answer,(When i look around at how happy all my friends are married all i can say is what have i ever done to deserve that much happiness in my life)?

"This may have something to do with it."

Or this:

[TontoKowalski]

My son just turned 20. He's a smart, good-looking college student. He has never dated anyone seriously.

We have an open father-son relationship, and he's talked about it to me.

From his point of view, way too many of the girls are skanky. Why does he want to be in a "relationship" with a girl who has screwed half the guys he knows? Or has sex photos on other guys' phones?

And, to be honest, his opinion is "Why limit myself?"

I won't pretend my own past is error-free, but casual hook-ups are shockingly easy for young men today. He and I have had many discussions about STDs and the moral impact of indiscriminate sexual behavior.

But, he's 20, and the pickings are easy. Too easy.

I love these topics. The quoted author is correct - men are just making a rational decision to not get married because of the changing societal norms and harsh legal consequences. The courts have been so over the top to protect women that now in the US, UK, and other western countries that men are penalized even to the point of ridiculousness. (Example: being forced into paying child support for a child that is not yours.)

I come at this from a slightly different approach — Since the 70s and 80s men have been taught to feel bad/guilty about themselves for being taller, faster, stronger etc by the feminist movement (which are all liberal, pro infanticide, and pro lesbian — If you doubt this, just look at what the “feminist” movement does to conservative women) and for the most part they have succeed in making a lot of softer men feel that way about themselves which has left these “pajama boys” very confused about their role as men because any aggressiveness that they used to have is gone. They are living longer with their parents, staying longer in college, and delaying any and most responsibility these pajama boys are so confused about who and what they are and lacking the confidence to pursue a woman — Because confidence is so foreign to them. These boys have no clue what being aggressive means. Girls are left wanting and frustrated. And this, this is what is leaving women constantly “wanting” more and therefore any man willing show them affection, even negative affection, is a grasp at a long term commitment and these girls/women have been conditioned to “give it up” with hopes of snagging the guy, but because these guys are getting lucky so often and so easily they simply don’t have to commit — These guys that are not pajama boys, they have a name for it, it is called SPORT F’n...

[KC_Conspirator]

Sadly, I know someone that happened to, almost word for word description.

[IronJack]

Are you kidding? What man in his right mind would marry one of today's women? Besides being insipid, amoral, and greedy, they are largely useless for anything but sex toys and arm candy. And there are plenty of those to go around.

Why make a lifetime commitment to someone who has no intention of sticking around any longer than it takes for her nail polish to dry?

Goon on ya, fellas.

I got married when I was 17, yeah, I got a Mama’s boy and surprise! he was immature but if you’re smart and patient you grow together. IOWs, you don’t start out with the finished product, you both bend and change.

Now if you’re with a person and you say things like, I love him but if only he was like this and did this and looked like this then maybe you’re with the wrong person because you’re not going to change their basic personality, run away as fast as you can because that isn’t love.

I’ve been married over 40 years, it hasn’t always been easy but nothing worth having is effortless.

[wintertime]

What are SJWs?

[joethedrummer]

The fault for this is BOTH men and women today.

I could go on and on for each but we all know what’s wrong with certain men today and also with certain women.

Blanket statements on either are just dumb.

Personally, I have to say that in this day and age of ‘me first’, it’s VERY hard to find people who are very compatible and are WILLING to submit a lifetime of love and care for each other. Like I said, it’s all ‘me first’ nowadays.

“But, he’s 20, and the pickings are easy. Too easy.”

I believe there was a movie called, “Earth Girls Are Easy.”

After the novelty wears off, gay people will quit getting married.
My friends and I talk about whether to remarry. Basically, you remarry if you can increase assets substantially. Otherwise, you just hang out and take care of each other.
