Why are men still getting married?

Question

Marriage benefits only women. Women get all the privileges and advantages and men get all the liabilities, responsibilities, duties and no reward whatsoever at all. He'll turn into a slave and an ATM and she can boast about it to her friends and family. His money is hers now and he is her property.

And especially divorce, which is the worst. All his money, his house, his car and belongings are now hers and he is left on the brink of poverty. He'll get to pay alimony and child support to someone, who he will never see again.

And men still go for it?
How many more times do men have to get scammed like that until men finally start to pick up on it and stop being taken advantage of like that?
Yet men keep marrying and keep getting divorced and keep returning to poverty once again.

I have no words for this. Any man, who is still falling for this obvious scam has 0 sympathy from me and all he will get from me is a burst of laughter accompanied with "I told you so!". Really at this point they fully deserve it. Sue me!

I just want a husband to take care of and children to raise. I want to make my family cocoa on a rainy day, make them soup when their ill. I want to be a comfort on a bad day. I want to teach my children, hold my babies. I want someone to put first. I want to do things that may be small, but take away stress from other people. I want to make home a place of love and security. I want to feel like I belong. I want a purpose. I want to create the family that my parents didn’t. I want peace and contentment and security. That’s what I want in a marriage. That’s what I want in a family.
I know that the culture doesn’t favor men. I know that in general they resent that and women consequently. And me consequently. And I’m sorry. I’d give anything for that to go away. I’d give anything for the chance at the peaceful, loving, fantasy I have nurtured as the child or divorced parents.
The only one who resents divorce and marriage as much as MGTOW, is us children of divorce. I’m going to be careful of whom I marry. I’m not going to divorce. Ever.

You're not talking about marriage. You're talking about slavery. Honestly, yes, a lot of women do that to the man - they think they want to get married and they're great in the beginning, but after the ring exchange they become lazy and controlling. (Yes, I'm talking about the women here.)

But just so you know... we are not all that way. I say that because some of us are actually raised to please the man after we are married, not to deny him all the time like a lot of women do. Then again, that's a culture thing.

What money? I didn't see it. We supported my ex's family so they wouldn't starve to death back in his home country since there were embargoes and wars there. If I cared only about money I would have bailed immediately.

Some men want to have kids just as much as women and they'd like to do it in a family unit so they do it through marriage. Marriage isn't necessary but many choose it because of this.

Love is a thing. I would explain how people marry for love, but I have a feeling you're too far gone. I hope you find happiness.

There still a lot of ignorant sobs out there and they will have to find out the f-ed-in-the-ass way. I see these guys that I knew before, during and after. The married ones no longer have a soul and appear to me like damn yes men zombies that kiss their feminist wives’ asses continuously. I know two divorced ones (one personally) that ate bullets to end it. Yes, the government has taken over relationships, marriage, and the only way out is; hell there is no way out except as I described. I extend your question to relationships also, because I think as the marriage rate zeros out the government will begin heavy regulation of relationships in the same manner.

Tbh marriage does seem stupid my partner and I have been engaged for three years and just decided moving from melb to the Gold coast is a much better decision than throwing 35-50k on a wedding I think the current wedding budget is at $34320 fuck that we would much rather a happy healthy life together than the government saying we belong to each other still until we get married I have and plan to continue buying her a new engagement ring every two years she deserves pretty things if she can't get that paper

Because I love my girlfriend and no amount of incel propaganda is going to change a man's commitment to his girl. I mean, all of this looks on it in the worst possible way that it's difficult to take seriously. It's like saying, "why do people still work out? It just hurts your body, you can get injured, sick, gym memberships are so expensive, and you'll probably get fat anyway. What's the point?" it's purely biased and a bit of a joke. Family benefits society and the economy. We should be promoting the family as well as fitness. For their difficulties, we benefit as a whole from it. All of your "points" crumble if you select your partner wisely which I think is the funniest part of all. Perhaps you couldn't manage it, therefore the system is broken and rigged against you. Just silly.

This girl at this office job was asking me why I wasn't married, and told me all of the good stuff I was missing out on. She said she loved her husband and she'd been happily married for many years...

Then a few months later she mentioned that because of her out of control spending, shoe shopping, ornaments and other crap... that her husband had to work to pay of debt... and to add insult to injury, she asked me for my phone number.

Wtf...

EpicDweeb · Answer

People get divorced cause they started making the mistake of basing marriage just on love. Marriage works best if both parties just work well as people. Think of it as lifelong business partners who can support each other in their pursuits and also have some amazing sex from time to time. The purpose of marriage has been lost on most people which is why it doesn't work well. The fault is not in marriage but in the way we treat it and the way we find marriage partners nowadays.

Yes it's a huge scam a big part of the problem is no one tells men how horrible the laws are to men about marriage.

The laws of divorce and marriage are so fuckup many people don't even believe them if you tell them they think it cannot be true a woman can just get bored of you and the horse you and you have to pay her alimony for life.

Maybe you should just not get married and not worry about what other men decide to do? 🤔 I mean, I think you worry too much about things outside of your own life. Maybe get a hobby 👍

I don’t know if I want to get married, what wrong with living with your boyfriend? I rather live with him than married him.

Exorcist_Rampage · Answer

Not all women mistreat men in this manner and some women are flat out ashamed that members of their own sex are making a mockery of marriage.

We have some of the most beautiful women on g@g and I'm fairly sure a good number of women would not screw over a man even for personal gain or to get back at him for doing her wrong. She is mature enough to see the evil structure and doesn't handle things that way.

It's just like when people starting a new thing to do. Marriage. Everybody in my family is married. I am not. No children too. It is a trap. Once married, you're in a Prison Cell. Then after years, not. Divorcing. That's worse.

I definitely think it is because a lot of men are desperate. It is very sad that they cannot control themselves.

Then don’t get married. What other people choose to do with their relationships really isn’t any of your concern, it’s sad that you would waste your time evening thinking about it.

The reason men continue to marry is because there is always a large supply of young men that lack the experience or they are unaware of the disadvantages.
