isn't their a direct correlation between people who have sex before marriage and failed marriages. I've seen studies about this... fudge i wouldn't even know where to look for them. And marriage in the legal sense is bs. Lgbt and non lgbt people feel that marriage is so important its not. If your religious go get a certificate from church, dont need a government sheet of paper.
Yes there are studies which shows that the more sexual partners you have the more likely you are to divorce. This makes sense because if you've sampled a lot of people you are going to get bored eventually fucking just one person.
I know in church they call it soul ties, SCIENCE i can't even really remember what it was called but i think it had to do with dna getting into the blood stream from that partners and altering your brain. I could be off... i read it years ago.
It's call pair bonding. You less likely to form special connection with someone if you give yourself so freely to people and there is a link to it with suicide.
I think the biggest suicide range is with 18-25 age group and usually occurs in big cities where promiscuous sex is more common and people tend to meet so many people you can't really form a proper connection with someone because there are just so many people you interact with on a daily basis.
"Isolation is probably the biggest thing. In rural areas people usually live in small groups, but in cities they live in big groups. Your brain is only capable of giving so much affection. In rural areas there's fewer people, so you give more to each person. In cities, there are too many and so you can only give none/ a little to each person. This prevents forming close relationships with anyone other than family.

It's a good essay, and not too long. You only really need to read the first half to get a sense of what he's saying.
Hookup culture is massively reinforcing that. You have sex with loads of people, you can't give emotional affection to any of them. You stay in a monogamous relationship, you give all your affections to that one person."
Also a question was asked recently why so many girls today are on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs and the number one reason was promiscuous sex.
Yea, i heard about girls and anti depressents. I think the same can be said for guys , they are always looking for something better and some men seem so empty.
That means my first marriage is going to end because I'm promiscuous. Guess I'm not getting married! 😅
Hahahaha stupid, Dna can't reach his bloodstream by having sex.
@Darkone1 bahah... tell science that since your so much smarter than them.. haha. gtfo
I know I am genius but every one have hidden talent, you have to find it and Yes you will be genius at that.
Just 7 reasons?
There's a book out there that have over 100 Reasons on the same subject and topic:
img0090.psstatic.com/...en-should-never-marry-.jpg
The way I see it these days, marry if you really want to start a family of your own, then you pretty much don't have any other alternative, and have to take risks. Otherwise, it's meh, you don't NEED to marry at all, especially if you don't feel that you want a family of your own. Nothing wrong with living on your own and taking care of your own.
Of course most of the women on here will want to defend marriage. They are the ones that gain all the power in marriage. Sure a good relationship with a woman can be a great thing, but that doesn't mean that he needs to be married to her. So far not a single woman has been able to give any good reasons for why a man would want to be married as opposed to just being in a relationship. That should tell you a lot about how bad marriage has become.
Everything you said is really untrue when it comes to me, I'm NOT that girl. Maybe ones you know, but I wasn't raised to be disliked like you.
So you claiming not to be one of the many women like this makes the post untrue? Where does is say it's all women, or just women for that matter. Post is about there being no point or benefit with marriage, and how it's impossible to know if it will work out in the long run, and not worth the risk
Hugest mistake is the simplest one; to live together under one roof -- there couldn't be a better way to ruin a romance
1- Wise men don't get married or let a woman be pregnant
2- A woman who is truly in love with her man would never want to marry him
I don't wanna get married because it's too much risk. If a woman insists on a legal contract between us and that being together as we are isn't enough for her then it's fishy, obviously love isn't enough and she wants the whip hand under the guise of other shit.
Interesting view. My boyfriend doesn't want to get married, and I'm half half about it. I could probably make a better decision about it if I didn't get so much pressure from my friends and family. They're always telling me that he's not committed to me if we don't get married. I'd like to think that he IS committed to me, just as much as he would be if we were married. I'm slowly adjusting though. Marriage is just a title, right?
@helpmealitttle I think it is indeed just a title. Some people think it's not enough to just be someone's girlfriend forever, but that's just a title too and if you know that person loves you, respects you, supports you etc and that they're with you because they intend to do that forever; getting married shouldn't be so important.
Thank you. Societal pressure makes it hard to justify that you don't need to get married to be committed. I hate it.
This is perfect. You ever notice how many women will not "date down," but it is almost an expectation for men to? Since I've committed to not dating down, I've had women call me an asshole, gay, jerk, etc... because they can't handle when a man puts the same expectations they have onto them. Women in America, by and large, use marriage as a financial/retirement plan. And the courts favor them overwhelmingly. I've learned when a man doesn't marry them, it incentivizes both of them, but the woman especially to continue working and developing her career. They hate it, and this is why they get anrgy when you don't propose, because it derails their investment in you (man), thereby threatening their financial plan (relying on man). The best way to respect yourself and a woman is to not marry her.
Marriage is not one of my goals, it's pretty pointless in my opinion, honestly. But you just seem frustrated and bitter, like women always make evil plans to run away with their future husbands money in the end. Just let people do what they want, your article is just a bitter generalization of women. Yes there are some points I agree with but advice from bitter people shouldn't be taken seriously
You realize calling guys bitter or misogynistic is geting old, right?
Do you really think I meant that as an insult? I couldn't care less to "touch" you in any way with my words, I just stated what my opinion is. Old or not, it still suits you. Not because all your points were wrong but because is nothing more than supressed frustration
Sure hun. Whatever helps you keep moral superiority in your head.
moral superiority? nah, you're the only one who thinks is superior here but okay
There's pretty much only one reason to ever get married and that's to have kids. If you don't want kids, then yeah--I'd agree with you and I'd advise any dude not to get married, because honestly there's no point. Marriage is an institution that's useful for raising kids--otherwise, why bother.
BUT, there ARE dudes who do want kids, and for those guys marriage is a good idea. But then you have to make sure you're doing the best you can do in terms of finding a partner who will make it as good as possible. It'll never be perfect (of course) but you can make it a lot less painful if you choose properly. And finally, you should also make sure to take some precautions in terms of protecting yourself in the event of bad outcomes.
Best mytake I've read, well said. There's no reason to get married, you can live together happily without it.
So many haters in the comments but it's true, I mean sure there are people who want to get married because they are religious or stupid or whatever, but they're not logical reasons, it's just what they've been taught to do. The only people who really have a reason to get married are women like you described, who want to control you.
Not sure about 5 though (I mean the first one cos you put 5 twice), women actually usually want sex more than guys, but many guys don't know this so their girlfriends/wives use it against them. I think it's just once people have been together for a while and get married the initial sexual attraction usually dies down a bit so neither want sex with each other as much as at the start
No, Asia is lot better then our US. They got traditional women and they don't loose 50% of their property after divorce.
Don't see what that has to do with my comment, but traditional = old fashioned = bad
I've said this before and I'll say it again - not everyone should/needs to get married. Everyone keeps saying there is someone out there for everyone. NOT TRUE AT ALL!!! Not everyone gets married. Not everyone falls mutually in love with the other. Not everyone SHOULD get married. People feel that because society tells them to, that they (should) do it. But society has been wrong about certain things, including this topic of marriage. And this applies to women, not just men.
I'd like to add/point out that I don't think marriage is a sham, because I really honor marriage. But not everyone shares the honor, and THAT'S why those people should not get married. They don't take the honor of marriage as serious as they should be.
I agree completely, if she really values it i'd be willing to compromise and do marriage in name only. But shared goods causes a ton of problems if things go wrong while adding no benefits. Marriage as far as i know doesn't change anything as long as things go right so there is no point in agreeing to it.
Instead rather then me trusting her not to leave i'd rather have her trust that i stay. Simply because the outcome of the latter is a lot less destructive.
My parents have also been happily married for 31 years. That isn't to say that it's always been easy, because it isn't. People are human and they fight. Money is the number one reason that couples divorce.
But if you think that marriage is a trap women designed for men in order to screw them over, I would first say that you need a history lesson, and second, that you have no business getting married or even being with the person you're currently in a relationship with.
Ehh... money matters but a loss of passion and unhappiness with sex is a bigger reason. That stuff matters more to guys than money does, usually.
Lol! Again, it works both ways. Being controlling is more to do with personality or cultures than it is to do with genders. So men can be just as controlling.
Wow this is so bad!!! Most points are completely untrue. I know men who have pushed their girlfriends into marriage!!!
Does it say it only applies to women? Can you explain what is wrong? I agree with all of it and would like to understand how so many don't.
@Arne123123 because as usual on this site people have generalised a gender... If u agree it's because u have met idiotic girls and not a decent woman
I think that it can be a good thing but some people aren't mature enough. Never will be
one long speculative rant.
I'll still be getting married
Well most of those are true. However, you can avoid most of that by just being careful about whom you are getting married.
Just think of marriage as a business contract. You don't want to get screwed so you go through all the details, go through all the financials, get all the paperwork and be sure you aren't getting duped.
I gotta say #6 is the most common.
Also #1 reason for divorce. 70% of all broken marriages have financial stress as a primary cause.
There’s not much of a way to be careful. Even if that person is someone you’ve known and dated for years and you trust with anything and everything and she is your everything she might not be the same person after you get married or even 10 years after.
The women with the best pussy, looks, and personality get used and abused by men so no men let you control them, it's not the other way around. Stop getting married, leave good women alone and go date garbage that you actually cater to and then complain.
Stop spreading bullshit lies about relationships, men do not want good women because he feels undeserving. Men have all the power in the world and can't resist fkn up their lives by making stupid mistakes, nobody's fault but your homie.
"The women with the best pussy, looks, and personality get used and abused by men"
and who's fault is that?
" it's not the other way around"
its totally the other way around specially in marriage since you have a life sentencing contract to keep up.
"Stop getting married, leave good women alone and go date garbage that you actually cater to and then complain."
yeah these are the typical statements that come from thots who are the true garbage themselves.
"Men have all the power in the world and can't resist fkn up their lives by making stupid mistakes, nobody's fault but your homie."
sure wish this was true, you women have the power to resists things too if you all learn how use more common sense more often. is not like those thugs you chose to get serious with held you at gunpoint
@CasaNorba Dude I am not reading how wrong you are today or any day, bye.
yea where is your proof that i'm wrong? and I think you actually need to read what I said first in order to validate if i'm right or wrong
@CasaNorba Boy please go away, far, far away.
My parents have been married for 28 years. My father didn't feel forced or manipulated into marrying my mother.
