Women are reaping the benefits of third-wave feminism and a culture that over-inflates the value of feminism to a point most men just don’t want to afford even if they can.
No-fault divorce means women can...and do, in increasing numbers...leave a marriage at the drop of a hat and reap cash and prizes from a court system that is highly skewed in their favor.
US divorce rates are hovering between 50 - 60 percent. Women initiate 70 percent of them, with the primary reason being “dissatisfaction”...not abuse/drugs/alcohol, etc.
Then they celebrate their new-found freedom by riding the cock carousel while simultaneously “holding out” for a permanent relationship with the “perfect” guy based on a bullet point list of lofty but impossible qualifications. Throw in healthy doses of hypergamy, self-entitlement and a constant diet of “you-go-girl” memes on social media and I short order the liberated princess becomes a toxic product no man wants to spend more than 1 date with, and regrets that, too.
It’s at that point that women experience Paradox of Choice...they post a profile online and are bombarded with 100’s of responses that inflate an already inflated ego that causes them forego a good choice today so they don’t lose the good choice of tomorrow.....
Is it any wonder why any man with minimal reasoning abilities avoids a committed relationship? Why do I want to risk financial destruction when I can find what I want for free and in quantity?
A store has just opened in New York City that offered free husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:
“You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors to choose from. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the 1st floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs
The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely Good Looking.
“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the 4th floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims. “I can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the Sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 71,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that you are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a Wife Store just across the street.
The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.
The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The 3rd through 6th floors have never been visited....
As a married man, all I can say is sometimes such matters are not decided on a balance sheet after reveiwing legal precedents. Sometimes a man wants more in life than sex and a long term monogamous relationship suits them. I do agree that the current legal system does incentivize men to prolong putting a ring on her finger as long as possible, but ya know, emotions play role even in men.
To quote Mr Spock, "It is not logical, but I have found it is often true."
Well said. Having divorced and gone back into the dating scene in probably one of the worst cities in the US, its all confirmed true.
