Two of my sons are yet unmarried ages 26 and 24. Their reasons given for the lack of matrimony are

1. All the women/girls their age already have one or more children from previous relationships.

2. They do not want to be a sole provider for the above mentioned. Most of the single women with children are on welfare and have no work skills or college.

3. Fishing and hunting are cheaper.

People are single nowadays because they were raised in a culture of narcissism. Marraige requires responsibility and sacrifice.....two concepts that are anathema to modern culture.

This story was debunked by Micahel Medved over the weekend.

They used girls 15-19 in their statistics as unmarried. Over 10,000,000 females fit into that catagory.

When the press gets hold of a skewed number they like they just won't let go.

...And it’s not the career girls on the losing end. It’s their less educated manicurists or housekeepers, women who might arguably be less able to live on their own. ...

Two reasons: child support and WalMart.

Its bogus stats cooked up with sole purpose to give the impression that marriage is on it's way out. Its not. According to the latest census over 70% of women over the age of 30 are, guess what? MARRIED.

Why bother with getting married. As the old saying goes, why would a guy what to buy the cow when he can get the milk for free.

Why would any man want to enter into a binding agreement where the woman has all the rights and the man almost always loses everything in the end? That makes no sense, the woman have won the battle of the sexes in US Courts. Enjoy your victory and happy huband hunting.

As the number of people marrying has dropped off in the last 45 years, the marriage rate has declined equally for men and for women.


Wow, what are the odds of that happening?

Notice how a lie is treated as the truth, because it was in the NYT! The times played with the numbers to get them to come out so that they could say that MOST women are unmarried.
The figures included 15 year olds and of course widows!

THE news that 51 percent of all women live without a spouse might be enough to make you invest in cat futures. But consider, too, the flip side: about half of all men find themselves in the same situation.

Not necessarily, a very large number of those men are simply dead.

There's a direct correlation between the drop in the marriage rate and the advent of sports bars and big screen TVs.

[ Why Are There So Many Single Americans? ]

Being married in America for a male is a liability..
Especially for a white male..

America hates males, white males they despise..
