lets translate some some terms:

1. They can get sex without marriage more easily than in times past "Modern women are easy."


2. They can enjoy the benefits of having a wife by cohabiting rather than marrying. "My live in girlfriend will do the laundry and clean the apartment."


3. They want to avoid divorce and its financial risks "Modern women don't respect marriage why should I?"


4. They want to wait until they are older to have children
"Children are expensive."

5. They fear that marriage will require too many changes and compromises "Modern women are nags who will nit pick my life and desires but insiste I be supportive of their mood swings."


6. They are waiting for the perfect soul mate and she hasn’t yet appeared
"So many women to test drive."

7. They face few social pressures to marry
"Sex, is available. My live in does the cleaning"

8. They are reluctant to marry a woman who already has children "Men want to raise their own children, not her and some other idiots mistakes."


9. They want to own a house before they get a wife
"Have a house before marriage as protection in case of divorce. My house my rules"

10. They want to enjoy single life as long as they can
"Enjoy single life as long as you want. There is noooo rush it ends when you feeeeel like it."

Bottom line:
Men reap benefits of not committing from women's movement. Modern women repel men from commitment. Takes two to tango even if it is for one dance.

I would have never lived with a man without marriage that would be the day i would clean the piss off of the bowl and do it for a man i was not married to, if i did not meet my husband i would be single and living alone.

And better yet, have the house be in their mom's name, with him as a lease-less tenant. No way for the woman to get her hands on it.
