Never thought Diaz was attractive, she always looks like she needs a bath. And she’s dumb as a post, and can’t act.

Other than that, I see no reason why she couldn’t have a genius-level intellect regarding all things, so I’m glad they consulted her.

Go back to smoking Snoop’s pot, hon.

In my view this is as much about economics as anything. From a financial perspective, government licensed marriage is a bad, bad deal. Moreso from the male perspective and if both are working.

This is all about government policy which is profoundly anti-marriage and anti-child.

In Hollywood they sleep their way to the top and then rationalize it by claiming everyone is or should be as sleazy as them.

Here's my advice for boys: The hardest and most important decision you will ever make is choosing your wife.

The last place on Earth you can figure out if your current GF is the one is in her home (if that's where you are living).

Can we just redraw the lines and give So. Calif back to Mexico? (and include Hawaii - and let them have our little dictator?)

I’d be interested in learning what the difference in numbers living together is now compared to the 70’s.

Personally, if there are no children involved, and the couple is in their 20’s or older, I don’t have a problem with living together before marriage.

Want to know why men don't want to get married these days ...

Look at the divorce laws and how men are taken to the cleaners.

“Shacking Up” is far more safe financially for the male than marriage.

I would advise against marriage, especially in America.

My ex-wife-(who is taking half my paycheck each week and complaining that it is not enough) is currently with a guy his 40’s and he is successful.

My ex keeps saying, “Look how successful and rich he is!”

Yeah, that's because he has never been married, you freakin’ fool! He knows what he's doing. You're taking half my income and then comparing me to him? What part of You're an Idiot do you not understand.

He has been ‘dating’ (if that is what you want to call it) her for a year and a half and has never said the ‘L’ word and has never indicated in any way that he is thinking about marriage. And yet she fawns and drools over him constantly.

You know, I don't really like the idea that he is banging my wife, but at the same time I respect what he is doing. She is an idiot, and thinks he is going to ‘propose’ every time she sees him. The guy has the game down pat. Imagine being stuck in perpetual ‘dating’ mode. Every man's dream.

He is smarter than me, that's for sure. I would be so much better off today if I had never married. That guy is the guy I could have been without marriage. Just needed a couple of more brain cells, I guess. It was stupid to get married.

But yeah, the way American Law is set up today, marriage is a life-killer. The woman will have your balls mounted on a trophy, while she looks for the next.

Really, Why buy the cow?

These deep thinkers are ignoring the simplicity of what happens, especially here in meth country: low-lifes live together to pool their welfare checks. Marriage would be a penalty for them and their offspring’s bennies. It’s not exactly a philosophical decision!

———I think we have to make our own rules. I don’t think we should live our lives in relationships based off old traditions that don’t suit our world any longer.”-——

There is no better statement of liberalism. Boiled down, it throws out tens of thousands of years of accumulated human wisdom be it Christian, Jewish, Moslem of Buddastist.

The final word is the woman is the personification of evil.

“children living with their mother and her boyfriend are about 11 times more likely to be sexually, physically, or emotionally abused than children living with their married biological parents.”

Well yeah. You’re more likely to hook up with a jerk when bailing out is an implied option. When you’re going to look that person in the face and say “I do” you’re more likely to consider whether you really want to spend your life with this person.

Ms Diaz is a product of and advocate for the slut culture. She used to be fairly hot but seems to be aging very rapidly. She is on the Maureen Dowd track and in a few years can look forward to living a bitter loveless life, getting shagged by gigolos out for her money.

I think the first comment at the article gets it very close. Telling guys that you have to risk EVERYTHING to get married, whereas the girl can walk out the door with the kids any day she chooses, and into a life of luxury (i.e., no-fault divorce), pretty much assured this outcome.

And, no-doubt, that was the goal of the feminists from and the liberals overall from Day 1.

As I always tell a guy when he’s trying to figure out if he should marry a particular girl...ask himself what the girl’s friends and family would advise her to do if things get rough. Would they say “stick it out, make it work, that’s how we do things”, or would they say “I told you so, he’s a jerk, leave him”? And the best way to answer that question is to look at her friends and family. Are they still married to their first spouse?

For me it was an easy call. My wife is an immigrant with many siblings, all are married to their first spouse - same for her friends. And that’s the typical case still for her culture. My advice to guys is always the same, you can marry who you choose to, but there’s a 50% chance of future divorce if they’re born here, versus maybe a 10% chance of future divorce if they’re born in a country that still values marriage.

Every society has rules (either written or just understood).

While we may not always understand the reason for a specific rule, we can acknowledge that it was put in place for one reason and one reason only, survival.

Members of a society ignore or break these rules at their own peril.

This is why multi-cultural societies can not survive for long.

In a multi-cultural environment each culture brings in their own rules for behavior which over time will lead to conflicts and chaos.

The sexual revolution of the 1960s did not “free” woman, it instead remove societies protection and put many of them on the road to single motherhood and a life of poverty.

In general I think we all can agree that a two (married) parents (of opposite gender) raising a family together, is better for all than single parenthood.

There are exceptions but societies do not survive when the exceptions outnumber the majority.
