Ah, we’re going to leap past Obama and go back to GWB. Got it.
It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with the encouragement of the “me first” society.
This is absolutely the end product of “liberated” women. Have fun bitches.
They strictly talk about economic reasons for this. There are many other social,legal, emotional reasons for the decline of marriage.
There have been long threads in the past here on Free Republic about that subject. And many posters were of the opinion that, too many American women aren’t worth marrying, due to liberalism and feminism; the legal situation in case of divorce is slanted against men; the sexual revolution has resulted in a marketplace of girls for men to be satisfied in that area of life, without committing to marriage.
I think those were key factors people brought up. Men nowadays, just aren’t as interested in marriage as men of past decades
I never married so I live alone. I always have loved being by myself but with retirement not so far away, I kinda wish I had a husband. Maybe it’s the “what if” syndrome.
I’m sorry for you that you seem to enjoy wallowing in the woe is me world of men who rage on women. Every story you post has the same theme and your comments reflect a sad sorry man. Maybe find some new friends or a new hobby. Life isn’t horrible, there is more to it then lamenting the sorry story of your past. Jmho
A generation of single men without spouses or prospects: Trouble.
Man cave.
Marry a much younger woman. Why marry someone with a lifetime of bitterness about men?
We older people know good and well that our nation is far more corrupt, vice-ridden and thieving in many ways than it was long ago.
Happily married here. I married the right woman for the right reasons and have not regretted it. We have quite a few children, all self-supporting or in college majors that lead to good, reliable, productive jobs. The two of us still enjoy our time together. While I laugh at some marriage jokes and most mother-in-law jokes, in real life marriage was one of the best decisions I ever made.
