Until the laws are more equal for the man in a divorce

Huh? You mean men actually think "I'm not getting married until I know my divorce settlement will be fair?" Talk about a defeatest attitude...Who the hell would want to marry that person?

I know a few guys that have been burned bad by marriage and are advising to get a prenup to anyone who does get married. One friend had to move back with his folks because the alimoney and child support made it impossible to afford a place on his own. And the ex-wife cohabitated with a guy with a relatively high salary so she was doing very well for herself. Too many American women are taught that they can get $$$ from a guy for having his kids and walking away from him. Not too many women are like that, but enough to make the average guy nervous about getting married.

While I understand your objection, I think that it is true that word gets around and creates a realignment of general mindset. I have men in my workplace who have specifically mentioned this issue. Granted, it is a generic concern, not specific to a relationship. But if I was a single secular guy out there legally, emotionally and morally unrestrained, there is little reason to be married. And when one considers the way divorce courts rape the men? The scales get tipped even further.
