Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d earn the ire of a character named Turd Flinging Monkey, the nom de plume of a popular online activist. A leader in the Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) movement, which encourages men to avoid romantic relationships with women, Monkey did not take kindly to my new Prager University video talking up the benefits of marriage for men.
In the video, I noted, among other things, that married men work harder (about 400 more hours), smarter (they’re less likely to quit without having found another job), and more successfully (they make about $16,000 more per year) than their single peers. I described these as features, not bugs, of married life for men.

I disagree. I too plan on never getting married again. Been too thoroughly fsked over by divorce and Family Court to ever want to go through it again.
Now, I live in a little college town. Lots of interesting girls to talk to, especially when their mothers come in to town to visit now and again. I go where I want when I want, do laundry as the need arises, date when and where I decide to and work on whatever project / hobby I find of most interest without being constantly demanded that I "find something more constructive to do" with the time I have.
Why would I want to surrender half of all incomes and bank accounts plus the majority of anything I own by getting married again. MGTOW is an excellent concept.
“I’m not going to re-marry with a foreign woman either, even one from a more traditional values culture, because it would always be in the back of my mind that she is just marrying me for the money and to get into the US.”
True, I’ve considered it, but if you go that route, you pretty much have to permanently relocate to her country, to avoid the perils you are talking about.
“Walking on water and raising the dead is unusual.”
Exactly. That’s why those things rated a mention.
Jesus undoubtedly did many other perfectly normal and mundane things that didn’t rate a mention. There’s no mention that Jesus ever wrote anything yet that doesn’t mean we should conclude He was illiterate.
No thanks. Think I'll buy a Milk Dud instead.
Wrong!
A large percentage, probably a majority, of women these days are whores! Worse yet, they are expected by Feminists to be whores. They are told to act just like men. They are told that having multiple sex partners will not effect the way a man will react to them, nor should it cost her social status. They are told to ‘Shout Their “Positive VD” Status’ They are told to ‘Shout Their Abortions’. They are whores, plane and simple. No one wants to marry a whore, they just want to have meaningless sex with them.
The old adage is absolutely true. Why would a man buy a cow when he gets the milk for free.
That is not a solution, because you will eventually qualify as a “common law marriage”, and all the same state laws will apply whether you got a marriage license or not.
“Then again maybe it doesn’t go far enough.”
It might indeed be advisable to forego the divorce attorney and just fake your own death and get a fake identity. You can probably buy one for a couple hundred bucks in the nearest Mexican neighborhood if you ask around.
LOL. I don’t want to move out of country, but I have discovered Asian women seem to better than American women.
After the wife cheated with first guy, I went to an Asian massage place, got a really nice genuine hour long massage and then a “happy ending”.
After she cheated with TWO more guys over a few more years(including an ex, who was ironically half-Japanese), I decided “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” so I met a Japanese woman online who lived north of DC and we met at a hotel halfway. She was actually nicer than American women; she brought food she made! and handmade soap as gifts!
The first mistake made that day was I forgot the checkout time and a black maid walked in and screamed when she saw us (probably pale and glowing like elves in Lord of the Rings)
Only that one time hooking up with another woman; it was the least I could do considering the dozens of times the creature known as my wife has hooked up with guys.
But like the Diceman said, at least they're easy to pick up, all you gotta do is say, "I've got Fudge! Hershey's Chocolate Kisses.......We're talking' Haagen-Dazs, babe, waddaya say?"
Thanks B-man!
I know what you’re talking about. A lot of it is because of TV. Women watch these sitcoms where the man is constantly portrayed as an inept moron that has to be run by his wife and kids and he just goes along with their demands.
It carries over into real life. It’s why you have controlling wives that like to henpeck their husbands and complain about everything they do. Heck, at one point my life consisted of one mission: Ask yourself before you do anything, “Will this make her mad/upset.” She texted me today as a matter of fact and said: “I have been single for 10 years today.” Gee, I wonder why?????
I agree, but love is EXPENSIVE.
There’s only a few states left that recognize common law marriages. And even then, establishing a common law marriage in court is a difficult thing to do.
Some states do recognize a long-term “intimate relationship.”
You can’t always buy it but it costs you something every time.
Good for you! You are talking about warm weather scuba diving? If so, you will have a great time diving in places like the Barrier Reef, Micro Asia, Roatan, etc. Have a wonderful time. Nothing like it.
“These days... the cow analogy is so apropos. You ever see some of the women in a Walmart? There is a reason why they have those electric carts, and those women with their butts hanging over the sides. They remind me of the people in Wall-E.”
You know, there’s something to this. Having traveled overseas to many places, I have noticed that American women are by far the most overweight and unkept women in the world. Even ones that are healthy and have nice appearances quickly ditch it and immediately pack on at least 20 lbs as soon as the relationship moves from dating to somewhat long-term.
I’m sorry women that might be offended, but if it offends you, perhaps you should look in the mirror.
Not all of us roll that way.
“So I really don’t care one way or the other and it mystifies me why this is so important to people that Jesus be one way or the other.”
Well, you implied that if men are avoiding women, they must be homosexual. As far as the Bible is concerned, it gives us great biographical detail of Jesus’ life and his immediately family, and there is no mention of a wife. There is also no mention of him having a wife by any of the NT writers who were direct witnesses to him, or by any of the church fathers who laid down the early traditions about Jesus. We also have the fact that Jesus himself said celibacy was a perfectly acceptable and even holy lifestyle for a man to choose.
I am pretty certain Jesus would strongly disagree with your notion that men avoiding romantic relationships with women must be homosexuals.
