Why men won't marry you
Fox News ^ | May 1, 2015 | Suzanne Venker

Posted on 05/06/2015 8:24:21 PM PDT by fkabuckeyesrule

That’s a question Peter Lloyd tackles in a series in London’s Daily Mail about Britain’s marriage rate, which is at its lowest level since 1895. “The state of matrimony is not just ailing. It is dying out faster than a mobile phone battery,” Lloyd writes. “For an army of women, Mr. Right is simply not there, no matter how hard they look for him.”

Thank you. Been lurking for quite a while watching the world rot before my eyes.

“The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill). The terms, popularized in science fiction culture, are derived from the 1999 film The Matrix”

So, I wonder what they were referring to in Breakfast at Tiffany’s ‘the mean reds’.?

RE:”There is also a different meaning of red pill in the manosphere. Google MGTOW. Or better do a search of that on YouTube”

No thanks.

I am happy with the definition that I found.

I have never been a Koolaid drinker. They set off my internal alarm.

A suggestion or two..


“However, I still would like to get married again, despite the risk, because I believe that’s the right thing to do, and shacking up is wrong.”

...Asian women and South American women enjoy being women and they enjoy men being men.

That’s probably enough information.

Ya’ll aren’t a bargain either.(not you personally) From a woman married 34 years:
There are men who want just too much—a working wife,perfect house, meals every night, care for the kids, and evening recreation to boot. Woman is exhausted.

I know there are thieving skanks out there, cousins married some such, but there are also women/girls who want nothing more than to get married, stay home, raise kids and take care of her guy....the man and woman just don’t find each other.

Perhaps these men know all too well that women initiate the vast majority of divorces — anywhere from 65-90 percent, depending on demographics. And when they do, they take the kids with them and hang hubby out to dry with the help of a court system that’s heavily stacked in their favor.

In these parts about 75 - 80% of the "suits filed" listed in the newspaper are initiated by the woman.

In all fairness, that percentage DECREASED when the economy was tanking.

"Actions granted" are roughly 50 - 50.

I suspect a lot of the "suits started" are for the purpose of hitting a mule with a 2 x 4 fueled by the recently divorced "friends" who tell the woman how "wonderful" her life could be (read = misery loves company) but as the reality sets in or the male "reforms" the actions are dropped.

Happened to me one time but it never reached the papers.

Don't marry a skank. You can figure out which one she is.

Maybe when your GF gets her period, her little friend, then decides that you ruined her life.(just like every month)
Then when you try to walk away for your sanity she clings to you and demands immediate sex,

Not sure what you think I would send you to see lol. In a nutshell there are a lot of bitter men out there who will never get married. Some divorced, some never married. When I first discovered Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) I was kinda taken aback. I always thought part of being a man was getting married and having a family. But nowadays I guess that thinking isn’t as prevalent as it once was.

She actually did a pretty good job of touching on the issues I’ve observed.

Women today aren’t happy just to take a man’s children either. They can’t stop until they’ve totally destroyed the man in the eyes of his children, if the guy shows any inclination to care about them, and she’s at all incompetent.

It’s like this period in your life is just erased.

You can try to see your kids, but if she’s vindictive, she’ll make sure the kids have something better to do on your visitation day. She’ll give them permission to go all sorts of great places, and then you’re the bad guy if you actually dare to want to see them anyway.

When you finally give up, she’ll tell them you never loved them in the first place. They’ll believe her.

No fault divorce means she can go out and sleep around on you, abandon the children for months/years on end as she does it, and the courts will still give her custody unless you can spend big bucks to buck the system.

The if you win the kids hate you anyway.

Then you get the privilege of making support payments, you may or may not be able to deduct from your tax return.

If she doesn’t spend the support on the children, it doesn’t matter. If you say anything, you’re the great Satan trying to manipulate the system against this saintly individual.

If she decides to spend the support money on getaway weekends for her and her boyfriend, it’s because she deserves it. If young kids are left at home with very little supervision, the courts don’t want to hear it. They already made a perfect decision and you’re causing trouble. She isn’t.

The kids the court claimed to want to protect? They don’t matter.

I’ve seen so many women just ruin (or at least set back) young boys in their transition to manhood as they heap praise on the young man to flatter him into preferring her over dad. I’ve seen women encourage other adult women to play into this to sexually entice the kid to encourage loyalty to his mom.

It’s a wonder to me that men want to get married again after going through this, and yet they do.

Perhaps I’m not up to date on what the younger generation is doing today, but I’d say the courts and women have pretty nearly destroyed a good thing at the expense of men.

Ladies, I think you’ll see this as very harsh, but I have observed this first hand.

Given all of the HORROR STORIES from friends and family that made the mistake of marrying an American Woman, I can’t say that I blame any guy for saying NO THANKS, or doing what I did and finding a girl from a TRADITIONAL SOCIETY (i.e., where men are respected) and marrying her, even it winds up meaning that there will be relatively halfway around the world.

Guys get married because:

They want to be told how to do the job right.

They worry about being in a house that hasn’t been remodeled in 10 years.

They don’t want to wait until Easter to go looking for things.

....added to first reply- divorces I’ve seen, the fathers and husbands are treated SO badly. Aren’t too many “amicable” custody cases.

A large percentage of women don’t even know how to cook anymore.

Thanks to ultra-feminist anything-but-family courts, and totally anti-male fed law such as VAWA, marriage has become indentured servitude for men. Especially if the woman divorces them.

If a man expects his wife to work, he can’t ask her to be June Cleaver. Any man who expects a wife to fulfill traditional roles and work full-time is not being fair imo. But really, who is pushing to change marriage? Is it men, women or both in your opinion?

I just know that a man like me who likes the June Cleaver model of a wife, couldn’t seem to find her.....when I was looking recently. Most single women from my point of view simply do not find satisfaction in the idea of being a wife and mother. They want those things of course. But as part of the working career woman package.
