Yesterday there was another thread on this. But I think this article is way better for the topic.

The title has 5 superfluous words at the end.

Men married women more when they kept their legs crossed more.

It’s a sad state when the over-riding concern is what happens when the marriage is over, not “till death do us part.”

It’s sadder yet for virtuous young people, especially young ladies when the pool of eligible mates refuse to man up.

The non-virtuous ones made their bed already and are paying the price in many ways. Unfortunately, they’ve messed it up for everyone.

If I’d have shot my ex wife when I first wanted to, I’d have been out by now.

Well, let’s see now.. marry someone who will cheat behind your back, who then upon divorcing you gets at least half your stuff, most of your monetary assets, and if you’re a military retiree, part of your retirement.

Yeah... what a concept!

It is difficult to fall in love with someone who can look you in the eye and say in so many words that it is her “choice” whether the baby you helped create should live or die.

Women’s indecision, contradictions and unreasonable demands have been codified into law and/or made part of societal norms.

But men are survivors. They are Upper Paleolithic Hunter-Gatherers whose instincts have not been completely dulled by modernity and technology. Scorn us and we will withdraw. Accuse us without evidence of a transgression and we will ignore you. Criticize us while ignoring your own voluminous faults and we will chortle and get on with our own business while gladly ignoring yours.

Heterosexual women who believe, endorse and amplify ‘feminism,’ a purely leftist ideology created from whole cloth by lesbians and old maids, are fools of the highest order as they have sabotaged their own romantic prospects.

Men are blamed for everything under the sun, why live under the same roof with it.

Have you seen the depicted role models for young women in today’s popular culture?

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.

If the law still held each party accountable for their decisions things would be much better.

We have reached the point in our decline where a large portion of our young, child-bearing aged women come from broken families or families with absent dads. We are also at the point where young men have been conditioned into betas by the SJWs. The result is very few “good” alpha males. Most alphas today are rebels and frankly unworthy of having children. Women want alphas and they want children, but have to choose one or the other. The result is what we are seeing: slutty women screwing with their hormone balance so they don’t get knocked up by someone unworthy of fatherhood, resulting in mental illness and beta men dropping out of society completely and going their own way with the aid of internet porn. The betas that do find a woman willing to settle down with them let them run the asylum and usually get cheated on, submit to cuckold, or the woman eventually leaves for “excitement”.

If I had to do it all over again (in my mid 40s and having never married), I’ve contemplated the idea of living overseas in Asia or elsewhere for a few years and marrying there and bringing my wife back to North America.

I don’t wish to paint many with the same brush, but I find it disturbing the idea that it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to expect a big lavish wedding (and even bachelorette party) and then after being married to treat the man like some ignorant low life who can do nothing right and then make outrageous demands in a divorce. No wonder why the term “starter marriage” is so commonly used now.

Forgive me, this is one of those rare occasions in which I will discuss something like this aspect of my life.

Heterosexual males don’t want to get married...

Heterosexual females tend to be strongly independent, working, and self-sufficient.

And both are avoiding marriage because of the fear of divorce and the ‘greed’ that is involved.

And in other news...

Gay couples are demanding the right to marriage. The ability to adopt and raise children. The ability to create a ‘family,’ contrary to how dysfunctional it appears.

Sigh...

One of the best comments posted to the “Daily Mail’s” story...

“Fewer people are getting married and those that do marry about 40-50% end in divorce. If you were told that 40-50% of the time parachutes did not open would you go skydiving?”

“They don’t want to enter into a legal contract...”

Wrong. There is no “legal contract” anymore. A contract is not severable by one party on absolutely no grounds at all. What we traditionally call “marriage” hasn’t actually existed in the legal sense for several decades in this country.

Most of these problems became likely with no fault divorce.
Actually, homosexuals demanding marriage include them only became possible due to no fault divorce.
