I don't find marriage a necessity but for some odd reason I think of marriage as a way to ensure more stability for families. I wouldn't get married if I didn't plan on having children but I do so I would like to get married as tradition. I get that divorce rates are high so not much point in getting married if it will 50% end in divorce but divorce is a tough process and I think it would encourage both parties more to fix things than just leaving. Probably not the case but it's just my mindset which may take a while to change.
Uh, no. There's no such thing as "experience" in a world where each individual has a completely different set of tastes. When you're with a different person every night, you have to start over from scratch. but when its the *same* person, you begin to learn exactly what gets them going, and they learn what gets you going.
"It has been statistically proven that couples who cohabitate instead of marry are three times less likely to split or resort to domestic violence."
I'd heard the opposite.
Oh, and all that colleghumor video means is that you don't need to go the expensive formal route.
the reason divorce rates are so high is because people rush into marriage too soon and do it in the first place for the wrong reasons.
to top it all off, humans are a naturally monogamous species. look it up.
I'm ok with never getting married. My man and I have decided to spend our lives together but agree that we don't need to get married to do it. I'm sorry but people don't fight for each other the way they use too. They give up too easily. You pay all this money to get married then pay more to get divorced. Breakups are hard enough without bringing court and Lawyers into it. What's so wrong with just making a commitment to spend your life together just between each other?
I have never heard of cohabitation. Interesting! There are many options depending on your background. There is a neat quote within a part of a speech that I posted to Facebook yesterday: "Choose a companion carefully and prayerfully; and when you are married, be fiercely loyal one to another. Priceless advice comes from a small framed plaque I once saw in the home of an uncle and aunt. It read, “Choose your love; love your choice.” There is great wisdom in those few words. Commitment in marriage is absolutely essential." - Thomas S. Monson (President of the [Mormon] Church)
I like to think that marriage can be great but I have never been married and the marriage I witnessed between my now divorced parents, was not exactly the shiny star of all examples. Regardless, I love the above quote of "Choose your love; love your choice.".
I ain't marrying because girls literally have nothing to offer nowadays... I mean you can't even have a decent conversation with 95% of the girls nowadays.
My girlfriend right now is incredibly boring... she likes to make poop jokes and all... but these jokes are the majority of our conversation. I mean she's literally the most boring person in the world...
Eh taking my women and gender study course I realize honestly I rather be single. Women have to give up too much if she gets marry and have kids for kids and still like that today. I rather be married with no kids or just be single.
Well if I do get marry I rather not have kids, its not fair that my life change and is impacted more and guys don't match up in fatherhood sorry its true. The only dads that do the most is single dads.
Women have to give up so much? What exactly do they give up for getting married? I know the man pays for pretty much everything, he has to work more hours then come home and help around the house hence men statistically do more work over all then women do, but women really only gain money gain a house, if she wants children she gets a stable enviroment that she gets to raise her children in etc. Of course you would here this kind of thing in a womans study class that has little to do with facts and more to do with perpetuating the idea that women are victims (ironic since women have it better then men in all areas of society). If your only hearing one side of the situation your not actually learning anything and since womens studies are about portraying men poorly and women as martyrs and victims its only made this one sidedness worse.
@hellionthesagereborn First of all don't make up shit when trying to claim men do more. Women are the ones spending more hours on child care and house care. Statistics show men have improved but are not equal to women. Second, in my gender class we do talk a lot about men so don't assume my professor is trying to paint all men as assholes. She talks about feminism but is not pushing it on anyone. Like fuck I'm tired of people like you making shit up to make you feel better. Like jesus christ. Just admit a lot of fathers don't do a lot for their kids and don't do house chores a lot.
Yeah that's provably false. Men do quite a bit, in fact according to statistics they do more (not much more but it is more) and they don't get credit for it and their not allowed to whine and complain about how unfair life is to them that they have to do something for others instead of only thinking about themselves. The fact is what your saying is provably false, women who are married work less then women who are not men who are married work more then those who are not. This is fact.
Stop making bullshit up a lot of people don't believe it. Nice try, troll if you want people to believe you, you use something that seems more realistic then what your saying.
I haven't made up anything. Men do do more work then women. The average amount of work including paid work, house work and child rearing for women is about 45.2 hours of work a week vs. a mans 45.6 hours. So men do technically work more then women. Normally I would say its the same as the difference is marginal except for the fact that society and women are convinced that they are the only ones who work and the only ones who should be acknowledged which is causing women to demand men to do even more then they already do. In fact I do think women won't be satisfied even when we get to the point where men do everything and women do nothing. Like I said this is fact we have the evidence to show it.
I can't provide links (I tried) because I have to be level 2(because this site is idiotically stupid) however if you look you can find this data very easily. I mean its kind of absurd how women just shit on men all the time and think that men do nothing even as we know they work more hours, give all they have to women (hence domestic spending being done almost exclusively by women (80%, 70% world wide). Its rather twisted. I mean honestly what is more likely that all women are victims being taken advantage of and oppressed by all the evil horrible lazy men or that we both are contributing to our families and society? I think its fairly obvious which one of those ideas is false. Now if you want I can get into a all the details on why feminism is wrong, why it is founded upon lies (I have not seen one true statement given by feminism) and why its designed to be divisive not empowering? Or you could just not treat men and view men as if they are all evil pieces of shit, your choice.
@hellionthesagereborn See and you can't even provide your information that is true (which I know is false) and try to act like men are better than women. Sorry but I don't your bullshit.
You miss the point. Of course awful people exist. But the femicomunist dogma that a woman needs a man "like a fish needs a bicycle", yet she *does* need The State to support her, is self evidently absurd.
@NatashaJ I took was required to take sociology classes my freshman year in college and I went to a very liberal school. At the time I thought it was interesting/entertaining but they now I look back and realize there was a very strong agenda behind all of it.
What pisses me off is that these professors are getting paid with TAX PAYER MONEY and kids are taking out boatloads of student loans to learn what? How to become more liberal?
You might not realize it now, but you will see it more and more when you get older. The vast majority of these professors are "smart" losers. They couldn't accomplish anything in the real world so they milked political correctness to get a cushy job. It's worked for the last 40 years or so but people (including women) are waking up to the insidiousness of feminism.
Like I said earlier your class might throw men a bone here or there (because they HAVE to) but I'll bet my house it's biased towards feminism.
I can provide it, I simply cannot provide it on this website, I have posted this information on my original account (which I no longer have access to) countless times, why do you think those numbers where so specific? Further more your the only one here saying one gender is worthless and the other isn't I'm the one saying that we are equals. My numbers are provable they where in a USA today article you could even google that if you where actually inclined to learn the truth instead of simply repeating lies that are simply convient for you because they make you out to be the victim thus allowing you a free pass in most every behavior. But nice dodge. Here is the best I can do: https:// www.usatoday.com/.../
@hellionthesagereborn All you want to do is to feel better that the whole gender (males) do way more than females. Now tell me how is that not discrediting females at all and lying because a lot of males 1. abandon their children. 2. Not cleaning or looking after children and 3. Only work. Just admit it there ARE a lot of guys who do not do shit. You don't see me saying all feminists are great feminsts Jesus Christ. Also I didn't ask for your stupid opinion did I? so you want to just listen to you when I don't and just accept it. Nope, not going to accept it because its not true.
No, again I pointed out that men and women do mostly the same thing but you claimed men where lazy and heavily suggested they where essentially worthless so I merely pointed out that men do more then women techncially speaking, you know the thing you said was absolutely not true and I had no evidence for and then I provided evidence for it and you conviently shift the argument away from your false claim that men don't do anything to me wanting to claim about women what you explicitily claimed about men. No a lot of men don't abandon their children, but I can tell you a lot of women do, thats why we have abortions, thats why we have safe haven laws that allow women to literally abandon their children at churches fire departments and police departments all of which is only accessible to women. I can tell you that women are the ones destroying families hence the nearly 50% divorce rate, over 70% of which are filed by women and almost all of those are sited as irreconcilable differences.
I can say that our legal system and women ensure that children remain fatherless as women choose whom they procreate with so them choosing a guy for superficial reasons like he is hot or a bad boy who then walks out on them is really as much their fault as the mans (unless you want to pretend women are children and can't be expected to think things through). That when a woman uses our biased legal system to divorce a man and then force him to pay far more in child support then he can afford, while simultaneously cutting off his access to his own children because she is vindictive, thats womens fault. Also the fact that 80% of child support is paid by men only 20% by women, how many of them are dead beats in this regard do you think? Well 70% of those men pay their child support, more are unable to (and thus get arrested and put in a debtors prison) meanwhile out of those 20% of women how many do you think pay child support?
Less then 30%, and almost none are put in prison for it. And we talk about men being dead beats. Why don't you admit that their are a lot of women that don't do shit? I have never denied that some men can be terrible people, but you seem to be dead set on the idea that all women are perfect and victims. Don't you think thats interesting? You didn't ask for my opinion but I didn't ask for yours either yet here we are. You made a sexist comment, I am not going to let that slide, its no different when some one says something racist or bigoted. You don't have to listen and you won't because your wrong, I have proved your wrong and you can't handle that hence your anger hence your outbursts and yoru sexism.
You want, need to believe that women are perfect, that they are victims because otherwise you would be forced to actually look at your own actions, forced to see how you treat men and how society treats men honestly and without bias and thats a scary prospect for you as it is for most women. You want the delusions because then you can continue to do what you want without consequence, you don't have to think about how it affects men, how your remarks are sexist, how your relationships are one sided to your benefit, you don't have to realize that your not contributing that you are exploiting and hurting others, specifically men. Realizing that would be inconvient for you so you ignore it. Its actually quite a common strategy, especially in this day and age where men are treated so poorly.
@Kuqezi I love how I do misandry how exactly? or are you a moron because I claim as a feminist on here and you putting shit out of your ass. No one ask for your opinion for anything and if you have problem with me don't follow what I do on here. Like I don't see you morons go follow me on posts just to insult if you don't like my opinion IGNORE them idiots.
@Speedbird_747 So let me get this straight saying this? makes me a cunt? But when this constantly happens to you maybe you picking these type of women? I meant there so many people who if this person is this or that they off my dating list right away. I meant hey if your not attractive your not attractive but I heard a statistic that women in America are having an issue finding guys now most girls are going to be single. Because of the fact they are refusing to look at guys without university/college degrees. Right now I'm trying to find guys I'm attractive too but I'm trying to be reasonable. So maybe look if you doing this without knowing it?
Maybe you should shut the hell up before you look like a idiot. Idiot and by the way you deserve to be single if you going to treat women like that Bye Felicia.
"I heard a statistic that women in America are having an issue finding guys now most girls are going to be single. Because of the fact they are refusing to look at guys without university/college degrees. Right now I'm trying to find guys "
That's part of the reason why women are having a hard time finding a partner. Women don't "date down" education wise (in general anyway) well men are happy to do so. As more women are going into further education then men the numbers aren't in women's favour.
Those women, who refuse to date a guy without a degree, are single by choice. There is nothing wrong with that but it's not anyone else's fault.
It's amazing how much feminism is getting shouted down online (and rightly so). However is it just a GAG/internet thing? Or is there a general growing hatred towards feminism? Most of us don't speak up publicly out of fear of not sounding "politically correct".
@sdistotallyme to be honest im all for women's rights and all but there seems to be a real manhating radicalism within its ranks that doesn't want equality.
@Righttobeararms83 Yes there are those radical feminsts but there are people on here targeting me just because I only said I am one not whether I am a radical or not. So they are just being dicks like that guy who call me a cunt even though my comment wasn't even bad, and he has a thing against feminism.
@Righttobeararms83 I agree and I also consider myself an egalitarian (much different than feminist) All these libtards do under the guise "equality" is HATE and pursue selfish ends for their own greedy agendas. The most insidious part is these people are usually in public education/hollywood/mass media and they are brainwashing people like NatashaJ. Whats even scarier is young millennial men are buying into this bullshit because its "trendy".
@sdistotallyme Excuse me? before you start talking and looking like an idiot how about you actually ask what feminists believe in and you are being brainwash by people thinking feminism is radicalism and we trying to destroy men in general. Its like saying if I was Muslim and saying that my religion brainwashing me when you have no knowledge other the bullshit media and you dumb friends talking about it. Before you talk go actually find answers yourself so have a nice day. I'm not brainwash you are.
I also love how something wrong with me being a feminist. BUT so many people are harassing me by going on my comment out of nowhere just to call me a cunt, bitch, whatever they want to say because I'm a feminist but they are fine. It's me that's wrong. Yeah you people are dumb as fuck. No offense but people who hate feminism for no reason only because of a few bad apples are dumb as hell.
@NatashaJ whatever I say on her isn't going to change your mind. However someday 10-15 years from now you might recognize this bullshit. Feminism is bad for both men AND women.
@sdistotallyme No you and the rest of the idiots are morons I am not going to listen to you anymore. Because you are the type of person who likes to say bullshit without checking your facts and think your right when your not. But this is good for me because I wouldn't want to date you or the 14 guys LIKE you. So keep doing what you doing if a woman is in her right mind she dodge you like a bullet.
@Speedbird_747 Yeah your right you guys are the dumb ones who go off to war and get killed while women where smart enough to stay in the kitchen dumbass.
@Speedbird_747 Again my comment wasn't even rude you just a jackass who feels resentment towards women so you take it on women for no reason. I don't feel bad for you now that you can't find a wife you don't deserve one with your attitude.
@Kaceypooh09 right even if they guys want to feel better about being males, many females do way more work than their husbands for her kids. I just rather not have kids now.
@Righttobeararms83 Yeah I know that but it piss me off that the other guys jumping on here saying "men do everything for women" HM sure. Apparently they do a lot for single women too.
@Speedbird_747 I'm Canadian so no I don't feel the way about America like you. So again your a idiot who doesn't check facts. By the looks of it to me all you Americans are ignorant, stupid, thinking they have the worst problems in the world when EARTH TO YOU. You have a way better life than people in third world countries. IF YOU HATE AMERICA SO MUCH then go back to where ever you came from. The hatred here for your country is hilarious especially when you don't like when people treat you like shit but you like literally like those Americans on here. SO YOU DO DESERVE TO GET TREATED LIKE THAT WHEN YOU ARE THE SAME, LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU DESPITED. But then again you just call for pity and then when angry keep going even when you look stupid and fuck up in the head. Because someone hurt you boo hoo, I'm not going to give you pity especially since your anger is targeted at a particular woman, not me. So go take your bullshit somewhere else K?
Also if you going to insult me get my nationality right you like those idiots who think Venezuela is Mexico and call me an illegal alien from Mexico. It makes you less stupid when you fact check K bye bye.
OH, and by the way, i was born here in the stares. So fk you for saying "go back to where i came from", motherfucker. Maybe i need to put you in your place. If not me, then someoune else should. I've had enough of your feminist diarrhea.
@Speedbird_747 Again if you never be on my side of the border then don't talk about Canadian people. Telling me to fuck off my comment? lol if I can remember my name is on the original comment so I CAN STAY ON IT. Your name is in the comment section not the comment so get the fuck out of here. You keep proving why you don't deserve a wife. Thank god for creating brain dead idiots like you who are too stupid to realize he talking too much. You will regret it, keep going I'm waiting for more so I can remove a lot of comments from your ass and can get you a lot of strikes on here. Also you really are were drop as a baby. Since i have a right to speak on my comment if anything you should shut the fuck up since you were the one who comment on here first. Bitch you can't handle the dishing then stay playing COD with your dry dick. Thanks.
@Speedbird_747 Well people like you who trash American need to get your asses out because no one wants to listen to your bullshit how your life pathetic when your online right now eating cheetos being a dick while there people starving in other countries and have access to the things we have. So the fact you act like your life is so horrible is pretty laughable. Cry me a river so starving people can have clean water. But from you, it be salty as fuck like your attitude and your life.
@Speedbird_747 So I made a witty comment all you can say is I became a editor? well I know I won since you clearly have nothing to say to me because you know what I said about you is true. You trying to make me look like a bad guy is stupid since remember, no one ask you to come on this comment and be a dick. That's was all you so keep your comments for yourself you need it more honey. by the way every other human being feel disgusting with your attitude so no one was offended by that comment.
Are they abandoning their children, or are they going through hell at custody hearing. Its not males or females, in piece of shit individuals, men and women. Feminism is about social equality. Women don't need men, but there comes a time where they need love, and as much as they fight it, they cave. Just like men when it comes to sex. Biological imperative. Men NEED to fuck. Women NEED to nurture. Not to mention monogamy is not psychologically advantageous on the mens side. Domesticity is damaging to our testosterone levels, which leads to a lower libido, and can lead to erectile dysfunction. Marriage and Long Term relationships alter the women body chemistry can learn to reject a mans sperm. Which is why 20% of men maybe raising a childe that isn't theirs. (TAlk about fucked up) I agree, marriage is for sheep, but for every asshole dude, there's a bitch out there making all lives around her miserable. For every guy who flat out abandoned his kids, there's a women lied about paternity.
@NoFcks2Give Guess what I DONT CARE what you feminists haters say anymore if you guys are going to be assholes then keep doing it. I'm not wasting my time talking to some piece of crap like you who doesn't know what they are talking about. Also if you guys want feminists see your side of the argument then stop being dicks. Multiple of feminists haters think I will listen if you be very rude to me and to keep spreading bullshit and don't even know what your talking about. That's not going to work so stop messaging me because I don't want notifications from your stupid ass.
@Speedbird_747 Bitch you don't know where I live, two you get angry easily so you will get your ass kick out quickly once they start asking questions why your there. and 3. Again if you going to take this personally remember this: YOU TALK TO ME FIRST ON MY COMMENT. And fourth now you threatening my life? are you that patheic?
I don't hate feminist, I believe the movement at its purest form allowed for certain inalienable right to be given to women. Women were being beaten, raped, even killed with impunity, they couldn't work. Some forced into prostitution because of the lack of labour opportunities. I feel for all the women of yesterday who fought for their rights its admirable. I can argue for both sides, most can't. I can. Modern feminism is largely radical, focusing on excluding themselves from social expectation. If your a true feminist, just remember that adhering to a philosophy is about balance. I meant no offense young lady.
@NoFcks2Give "true" feminism needs to be called something else to separate themselves from the radicals. I recommend using the phrase "egalitarian". It omits the "special" vibe that women try to derive by identifying as feminist. It's just plain equality (which I'm all for)
@sdistotallyme Oh ok my bad I'm just really tired of these assfaces on here. They are just morons thinking they know what they are talking about when they don't. But personally I prefer to use the label feminist because people are now too scared to call it exactly what it is. I'm not scare so I won't do that.
@NatashaJ thank you. You have to realize most men AREN'T BAD. However feminism has radicalized in the last 20 years. You might not be a fem nazi but plenty of other women who identify as "feminist" are. Instead of trying to justify the label I would seriously consider using something else.
@hellionthesagereborn women studies isn't how she made it seem. I've taken it they don't really bash men but the females in class sometimes do lol overall it's about the wrongs of women and the development of them. & also where they would like to be.
@Kountry_King So talking about how it was like 50 years later and still now is false? no wonder most of you men are single you guys like to ignore the truth. K then.
I never said it was false, what you get from that class is your perspective I can't change it or say it's wrong. I told the guy feminism isn't how he made it seem & I spoke of my own experiences from taking the class.
Women are avoiding marriage too. They just want to fuck crazy hot guys throughout their teens and 20's and then when they hit their 30's and their looks start to fall apart, BOOM! They change their mind, they're ready for marriage now, to some poor beta male they would have spit on in the past, but his money's green so they marry him, and then they cheat on him after a few years. But that's only like 90% of women, so don't get too discouraged guys! You just gotta find a unicorn, that's all!
I'll tell you why. They get plenty of milk without buying the cow. Basically, girls/women have changed their view on sex before marriage, and as a result, guys get plenty of sex from the girl they love, instead of having to wait for marriage to get it.
I doesn't benefit me as a man to knowing that 1. I can be bankrupt. 2. Homeless. 3. Locked out of my children's lives. 4. Viewed as the only reason for the divorce. 5. Lead to suicide/homicide or both. 6. Mental breakdowns. 7. Alienation from friends and family ( for some ). all for a legally binding contract that gives women more rights than you by law while your the one that's funding this state sanction execution of yourself by unwittingly signing said contract.
well even tho some people may rather avoid it than face it... avoiding marriage is both a thing for men and women... the thing is... some people toss away tradition and prefer to cohabitate with their partner and this... makes them believe that they're glad living together and there's no need to get married and therefore its makes it less likely for marriage to occur...
I think marriage is great if both are mature people who love each other, but I agree that we are now the privileged ones. And I think that has led to more divorces and bad situations. Society feels like they still have to protect us, so we get so much help whenever something goes wrong. I think that leads to many BUT NOT ALL women to rushing into things without thinking about because they know there are so few consequences if they screw up.
Divorce rates are staggering for these reasons but not all marriages fail after the nuptials. I know one couple who are still crazy about each other after ten years of marriage and three kids, so not all marriages fail but I see your point. I think that cohabitation seems easier because both parties know that they can leave at any time if the relationship doesn't make them happy, but who knows. I've never been married so I could be wrong lol
While this was a thought-out my take it's full of bulshit. Everything you're talking about is nothing but banter. I know of 30 couples easily that been married 20 and 30 years. Society is going to hell because they can't live with each other anymore. There's nothing else to say this my take proves my point
I've heard that men are avoiding marriage because women aren't offering enough to entice men into long term commitment (1) you have sex without marriage, (2) women expect to be treated like queens, even though they behave like sloughy peasants, (3) by the time men get mature enough to marry, many of these women have already had a child or two. -- Ultimately, why would good men with options choose to marry some of these women? It would be dumb to. -- of course, some women are very worthy.
They can't/ won't clean, cook either! I was raised to keep a clean home and cook from scratch along with tending the yard and automobiles. That shit is not slavery when doing it for the people you love!
Fuck you mariage! Women end up depressed and look a for the biggest cocks and get fucked once they give up on their husbands. Mariage is in it's last century and so is the federal banks! Once we understand how money is created we'll be free and all living towards a more utopic life. Not living up this fake American dream but yours!
Men and women are avoiding marriage for many reasons other than commitment. One reasons why men and women are avoiding marriage is because they can't financially support anyone other than themselves at the moment. Another reason is cause it's hard to find a good woman or man these days. You want to take your time and figure someone out before rushing into marriage. Marriage is forever (or so they say) and it's not something that you should rush into.
its mostly men avoiding marriage, most women still want it, however they are having trouble finding any man willing to commit these days. for obvious reasons.
I don't want to get married until the laws of it change. I will only get married or have a long term girlfriend who lives with me in my house if I am free of paying alimony, child support and my money/resources are 100% secured if we divorce or break up.
@DoctorNuggets what's your point? No matter what order they go in I still dont want to live my life with a woman knowing she could screw me over whether she cheats, gets bored of me, meets someone of higher value than me or whenever she feels like it.
I don assume plan A is gonna fail, statistics say so that it is and it's according to studies it say it's a very big risk for men to commit to women now. An obviously you must know the true natures of female hypergamy that's ingrained in to all females which is their biological default programming.
Bottom line is investing in women is a worse/riskier gamble than investing in stocks, shares or bonds. Don't buy women guys... only rent them.
@DoctorNuggets am not bitter, just stating facts about marriage/long term cohabitation and why I don't to be involved in it... how does that infer am a beta that's bitter.
You mangina's always say that when you have nothing else to say or anything to back your claims
I agree with this article. My boyfriend and I plan to never marry unless there's some really good reason to (probably not). I don't look down on people who do, and like attending weddings and wishing well for new husbands and wives, but I'd never want to do it. If we ever hate each other enough to leave, I'd rather the door be easy to exit, and for there to be no negative feelings between me or him over "stealing" half our stuff if we're unhappy and want to divorce. I don't want him or I to be "tied" to each other by law, but only by love.
I can understand the financial reasons for getting married, though. I wouldn't do it for those, though.

Commitment in marriage is absolutely essential." - Thomas S. Monson (President of the [Mormon] Church)
I like to think that marriage can be great but I have never been married and the marriage I witnessed between my now divorced parents, was not exactly the shiny star of all examples. Regardless, I love the above quote of "Choose your love; love your choice.".
I ain't marrying because girls literally have nothing to offer nowadays... I mean you can't even have a decent conversation with 95% of the girls nowadays.
My girlfriend right now is incredibly boring... she likes to make poop jokes and all... but these jokes are the majority of our conversation. I mean she's literally the most boring person in the world...
Why don't you break up with her then and find another girl?
@Dipsy I'm very close to doing so
Relationships aren't about fun.
@Ghassan Okay?
Eh taking my women and gender study course I realize honestly I rather be single. Women have to give up too much if she gets marry and have kids for kids and still like that today. I rather be married with no kids or just be single.
Good for you. Marriage is a garbage institution now anyways.
Well if I do get marry I rather not have kids, its not fair that my life change and is impacted more and guys don't match up in fatherhood sorry its true. The only dads that do the most is single dads.
Is women and gender studies a real course out of intrest?
Women have to give up so much? What exactly do they give up for getting married? I know the man pays for pretty much everything, he has to work more hours then come home and help around the house hence men statistically do more work over all then women do, but women really only gain money gain a house, if she wants children she gets a stable enviroment that she gets to raise her children in etc. Of course you would here this kind of thing in a womans study class that has little to do with facts and more to do with perpetuating the idea that women are victims (ironic since women have it better then men in all areas of society). If your only hearing one side of the situation your not actually learning anything and since womens studies are about portraying men poorly and women as martyrs and victims its only made this one sidedness worse.
@hellionthesagereborn dudes its not like that a true marriage is a partnership of two people working together which makes it easier for both.
@hellionthesagereborn First of all don't make up shit when trying to claim men do more. Women are the ones spending more hours on child care and house care. Statistics show men have improved but are not equal to women. Second, in my gender class we do talk a lot about men so don't assume my professor is trying to paint all men as assholes. She talks about feminism but is not pushing it on anyone. Like fuck I'm tired of people like you making shit up to make you feel better. Like jesus christ. Just admit a lot of fathers don't do a lot for their kids and don't do house chores a lot.
@Righttobeararms83 sadly it is. Femicommunist lies that mislead a whole generation of women. And some men for that matter.
@Curmudgeon Too bad you don't want to admit so many dads are lazy shits.
But what kind of career can someone have with a degree in gender studies?
That's the same choice a lot of men are currently making as well. Not sure why you have so many dislikes for a life choice. It's your life.
Yeah that's provably false. Men do quite a bit, in fact according to statistics they do more (not much more but it is more) and they don't get credit for it and their not allowed to whine and complain about how unfair life is to them that they have to do something for others instead of only thinking about themselves. The fact is what your saying is provably false, women who are married work less then women who are not men who are married work more then those who are not. This is fact.
I'd rather have kids without a marriage commitment or I'll just stay single!
Stop making bullshit up a lot of people don't believe it. Nice try, troll if you want people to believe you, you use something that seems more realistic then what your saying.
@Righttobeararms83 who said my major was gender studies a class is not a major.
@Paul14 ? I don't see how you getting upsetting when I was never talking to you in the first place.
I haven't made up anything. Men do do more work then women. The average amount of work including paid work, house work and child rearing for women is about 45.2 hours of work a week vs. a mans 45.6 hours. So men do technically work more then women. Normally I would say its the same as the difference is marginal except for the fact that society and women are convinced that they are the only ones who work and the only ones who should be acknowledged which is causing women to demand men to do even more then they already do. In fact I do think women won't be satisfied even when we get to the point where men do everything and women do nothing. Like I said this is fact we have the evidence to show it.
I can't provide links (I tried) because I have to be level 2(because this site is idiotically stupid) however if you look you can find this data very easily. I mean its kind of absurd how women just shit on men all the time and think that men do nothing even as we know they work more hours, give all they have to women (hence domestic spending being done almost exclusively by women (80%, 70% world wide). Its rather twisted. I mean honestly what is more likely that all women are victims being taken advantage of and oppressed by all the evil horrible lazy men or that we both are contributing to our families and society? I think its fairly obvious which one of those ideas is false. Now if you want I can get into a all the details on why feminism is wrong, why it is founded upon lies (I have not seen one true statement given by feminism) and why its designed to be divisive not empowering? Or you could just not treat men and view men as if they are all evil pieces of shit, your choice.
@hellionthesagereborn See and you can't even provide your information that is true (which I know is false) and try to act like men are better than women. Sorry but I don't your bullshit.
I'm sure your "gender study course" is completely fair and impartial. No liberal and/or feminist bias at all.
You miss the point. Of course awful people exist. But the femicomunist dogma that a woman needs a man "like a fish needs a bicycle", yet she *does* need The State to support her, is self evidently absurd.
@NatashaJ I took was required to take sociology classes my freshman year in college and I went to a very liberal school. At the time I thought it was interesting/entertaining but they now I look back and realize there was a very strong agenda behind all of it.
What pisses me off is that these professors are getting paid with TAX PAYER MONEY and kids are taking out boatloads of student loans to learn what? How to become more liberal?
You might not realize it now, but you will see it more and more when you get older. The vast majority of these professors are "smart" losers. They couldn't accomplish anything in the real world so they milked political correctness to get a cushy job. It's worked for the last 40 years or so but people (including women) are waking up to the insidiousness of feminism.
Like I said earlier your class might throw men a bone here or there (because they HAVE to) but I'll bet my house it's biased towards feminism.
I can provide it, I simply cannot provide it on this website, I have posted this information on my original account (which I no longer have access to) countless times, why do you think those numbers where so specific? Further more your the only one here saying one gender is worthless and the other isn't I'm the one saying that we are equals. My numbers are provable they where in a USA today article you could even google that if you where actually inclined to learn the truth instead of simply repeating lies that are simply convient for you because they make you out to be the victim thus allowing you a free pass in most every behavior. But nice dodge. Here is the best I can do: https:// www.usatoday.com/.../
Finally got to level two apparently.
@hellionthesagereborn All you want to do is to feel better that the whole gender (males) do way more than females. Now tell me how is that not discrediting females at all and lying because a lot of males 1. abandon their children. 2. Not cleaning or looking after children and 3. Only work. Just admit it there ARE a lot of guys who do not do shit. You don't see me saying all feminists are great feminsts Jesus Christ. Also I didn't ask for your stupid opinion did I? so you want to just listen to you when I don't and just accept it. Nope, not going to accept it because its not true.
No, again I pointed out that men and women do mostly the same thing but you claimed men where lazy and heavily suggested they where essentially worthless so I merely pointed out that men do more then women techncially speaking, you know the thing you said was absolutely not true and I had no evidence for and then I provided evidence for it and you conviently shift the argument away from your false claim that men don't do anything to me wanting to claim about women what you explicitily claimed about men. No a lot of men don't abandon their children, but I can tell you a lot of women do, thats why we have abortions, thats why we have safe haven laws that allow women to literally abandon their children at churches fire departments and police departments all of which is only accessible to women. I can tell you that women are the ones destroying families hence the nearly 50% divorce rate, over 70% of which are filed by women and almost all of those are sited as irreconcilable differences.
I can say that our legal system and women ensure that children remain fatherless as women choose whom they procreate with so them choosing a guy for superficial reasons like he is hot or a bad boy who then walks out on them is really as much their fault as the mans (unless you want to pretend women are children and can't be expected to think things through). That when a woman uses our biased legal system to divorce a man and then force him to pay far more in child support then he can afford, while simultaneously cutting off his access to his own children because she is vindictive, thats womens fault. Also the fact that 80% of child support is paid by men only 20% by women, how many of them are dead beats in this regard do you think? Well 70% of those men pay their child support, more are unable to (and thus get arrested and put in a debtors prison) meanwhile out of those 20% of women how many do you think pay child support?
Less then 30%, and almost none are put in prison for it. And we talk about men being dead beats.
Why don't you admit that their are a lot of women that don't do shit? I have never denied that some men can be terrible people, but you seem to be dead set on the idea that all women are perfect and victims. Don't you think thats interesting? You didn't ask for my opinion but I didn't ask for yours either yet here we are. You made a sexist comment, I am not going to let that slide, its no different when some one says something racist or bigoted. You don't have to listen and you won't because your wrong, I have proved your wrong and you can't handle that hence your anger hence your outbursts and yoru sexism.
You want, need to believe that women are perfect, that they are victims because otherwise you would be forced to actually look at your own actions, forced to see how you treat men and how society treats men honestly and without bias and thats a scary prospect for you as it is for most women. You want the delusions because then you can continue to do what you want without consequence, you don't have to think about how it affects men, how your remarks are sexist, how your relationships are one sided to your benefit, you don't have to realize that your not contributing that you are exploiting and hurting others, specifically men. Realizing that would be inconvient for you so you ignore it. Its actually quite a common strategy, especially in this day and age where men are treated so poorly.
You're a well known on GAG for your misandry. And you take gender studies lmao of course
@Kuqezi I love how I do misandry how exactly? or are you a moron because I claim as a feminist on here and you putting shit out of your ass. No one ask for your opinion for anything and if you have problem with me don't follow what I do on here. Like I don't see you morons go follow me on posts just to insult if you don't like my opinion IGNORE them idiots.
It doesn't take much to find the "men work longer hours then women".
Google is a thing you know?

@Speedbird_747 So let me get this straight saying this? makes me a cunt?
But when this constantly happens to you maybe you picking these type of women? I meant there so many people who if this person is this or that they off my dating list right away. I meant hey if your not attractive your not attractive but I heard a statistic that women in America are having an issue finding guys now most girls are going to be single. Because of the fact they are refusing to look at guys without university/college degrees.
Right now I'm trying to find guys I'm attractive too but I'm trying to be reasonable. So maybe look if you doing this without knowing it?
Maybe you should shut the hell up before you look like a idiot. Idiot and by the way you deserve to be single if you going to treat women like that Bye Felicia.
Like going to call me a cunt watch I make you look like a asshole.
"I heard a statistic that women in America are having an issue finding guys now most girls are going to be single. Because of the fact they are refusing to look at guys without university/college degrees.
Right now I'm trying to find guys "
That's part of the reason why women are having a hard time finding a partner. Women don't "date down" education wise (in general anyway) well men are happy to do so. As more women are going into further education then men the numbers aren't in women's favour.
Those women, who refuse to date a guy without a degree, are single by choice. There is nothing wrong with that but it's not anyone else's fault.
It's amazing how much feminism is getting shouted down online (and rightly so). However is it just a GAG/internet thing? Or is there a general growing hatred towards feminism? Most of us don't speak up publicly out of fear of not sounding "politically correct".
@sdistotallyme to be honest im all for women's rights and all but there seems to be a real manhating radicalism within its ranks that doesn't want equality.
@Righttobeararms83 Yes there are those radical feminsts but there are people on here targeting me just because I only said I am one not whether I am a radical or not. So they are just being dicks like that guy who call me a cunt even though my comment wasn't even bad, and he has a thing against feminism.
People like these dumb gagers are witch hunting for no reason and have no evidence that I am a radical but treat me like one. Stupid idiots.
Well thats GAG all over and modern society, you disagree with someones view so instead of debating you insult and dog pile them.
@Righttobeararms83 I agree and I also consider myself an egalitarian (much different than feminist) All these libtards do under the guise "equality" is HATE and pursue selfish ends for their own greedy agendas. The most insidious part is these people are usually in public education/hollywood/mass media and they are brainwashing people like NatashaJ. Whats even scarier is young millennial men are buying into this bullshit because its "trendy".
@sdistotallyme Excuse me? before you start talking and looking like an idiot how about you actually ask what feminists believe in and you are being brainwash by people thinking feminism is radicalism and we trying to destroy men in general. Its like saying if I was Muslim and saying that my religion brainwashing me when you have no knowledge other the bullshit media and you dumb friends talking about it. Before you talk go actually find answers yourself so have a nice day. I'm not brainwash you are.
I also love how something wrong with me being a feminist. BUT so many people are harassing me by going on my comment out of nowhere just to call me a cunt, bitch, whatever they want to say because I'm a feminist but they are fine. It's me that's wrong. Yeah you people are dumb as fuck. No offense but people who hate feminism for no reason only because of a few bad apples are dumb as hell.
@NatashaJ whatever I say on her isn't going to change your mind. However someday 10-15 years from now you might recognize this bullshit. Feminism is bad for both men AND women.
@sdistotallyme No you and the rest of the idiots are morons I am not going to listen to you anymore. Because you are the type of person who likes to say bullshit without checking your facts and think your right when your not. But this is good for me because I wouldn't want to date you or the 14 guys LIKE you. So keep doing what you doing if a woman is in her right mind she dodge you like a bullet.
@Speedbird_747 Yeah your right you guys are the dumb ones who go off to war and get killed while women where smart enough to stay in the kitchen dumbass.
@Speedbird_747 Again my comment wasn't even rude you just a jackass who feels resentment towards women so you take it on women for no reason. I don't feel bad for you now that you can't find a wife you don't deserve one with your attitude.
Same here
@Kaceypooh09 right even if they guys want to feel better about being males, many females do way more work than their husbands for her kids. I just rather not have kids now.
Many do many dont. Many Husbands such as myself go above and beyond the call of duty. (only commented because I got thirty notifications from here)
@Righttobeararms83 Yeah I know that but it piss me off that the other guys jumping on here saying "men do everything for women" HM sure. Apparently they do a lot for single women too.
@Speedbird_747 I'm Canadian so no I don't feel the way about America like you. So again your a idiot who doesn't check facts. By the looks of it to me all you Americans are ignorant, stupid, thinking they have the worst problems in the world when EARTH TO YOU. You have a way better life than people in third world countries. IF YOU HATE AMERICA SO MUCH then go back to where ever you came from. The hatred here for your country is hilarious especially when you don't like when people treat you like shit but you like literally like those Americans on here. SO YOU DO DESERVE TO GET TREATED LIKE THAT WHEN YOU ARE THE SAME, LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU DESPITED. But then again you just call for pity and then when angry keep going even when you look stupid and fuck up in the head. Because someone hurt you boo hoo, I'm not going to give you pity especially since your anger is targeted at a particular woman, not me. So go take your bullshit somewhere else K?
Also if you going to insult me get my nationality right you like those idiots who think Venezuela is Mexico and call me an illegal alien from Mexico. It makes you less stupid when you fact check K bye bye.
OH, and by the way, i was born here in the stares. So fk you for saying "go back to where i came from", motherfucker. Maybe i need to put you in your place. If not me, then someoune else should. I've had enough of your feminist diarrhea.
@Speedbird_747 Again if you never be on my side of the border then don't talk about Canadian people. Telling me to fuck off my comment? lol if I can remember my name is on the original comment so I CAN STAY ON IT. Your name is in the comment section not the comment so get the fuck out of here. You keep proving why you don't deserve a wife. Thank god for creating brain dead idiots like you who are too stupid to realize he talking too much. You will regret it, keep going I'm waiting for more so I can remove a lot of comments from your ass and can get you a lot of strikes on here. Also you really are were drop as a baby. Since i have a right to speak on my comment if anything you should shut the fuck up since you were the one who comment on here first. Bitch you can't handle the dishing then stay playing COD with your dry dick. Thanks.
@Speedbird_747 Well people like you who trash American need to get your asses out because no one wants to listen to your bullshit how your life pathetic when your online right now eating cheetos being a dick while there people starving in other countries and have access to the things we have. So the fact you act like your life is so horrible is pretty laughable. Cry me a river so starving people can have clean water. But from you, it be salty as fuck like your attitude and your life.
Congratulations. you suddenly became a editor. Do i give a fk? No.
I'm ending it right here and right now.
@Speedbird_747 So I made a witty comment all you can say is I became a editor? well I know I won since you clearly have nothing to say to me because you know what I said about you is true. You trying to make me look like a bad guy is stupid since remember, no one ask you to come on this comment and be a dick. That's was all you so keep your comments for yourself you need it more honey. by the way every other human being feel disgusting with your attitude so no one was offended by that comment.
and I been an editor for awhile not let I just got it today. So bye Felicia.
Well I won (let the salt burn your wounds you dumb cry baby).
Bitch, my name is not Felicia. Take that pop culture bullshit on some fucking here else.
@Speedbird_747 Oh yeah Felicia is too pretty for you how about Bitchia? Suits you more.
You need to be dipped in boiling tar.
To me there is no such this as "pretty".
@Speedbird_747 How are you not dead by your body salt? since it could kill a human with a touch how are you not dead? are you satan?
Possibly Satan Reincarnated. Salt intake levels are off the charts. Unfortunately for me, I can't destroy the planet with a single snap of my fingers.
Unfortunately, I'm just a mere mortal.
@Speedbird_747 Eh you could had fool everyone of being satan mental retarded brother.
Are they abandoning their children, or are they going through hell at custody hearing. Its not males or females, in piece of shit individuals, men and women. Feminism is about social equality. Women don't need men, but there comes a time where they need love, and as much as they fight it, they cave. Just like men when it comes to sex. Biological imperative. Men NEED to fuck. Women NEED to nurture. Not to mention monogamy is not psychologically advantageous on the mens side. Domesticity is damaging to our testosterone levels, which leads to a lower libido, and can lead to erectile dysfunction. Marriage and Long Term relationships alter the women body chemistry can learn to reject a mans sperm. Which is why 20% of men maybe raising a childe that isn't theirs. (TAlk about fucked up) I agree, marriage is for sheep, but for every asshole dude, there's a bitch out there making all lives around her miserable. For every guy who flat out abandoned his kids, there's a women lied about paternity.
@NoFcks2Give Guess what I DONT CARE what you feminists haters say anymore if you guys are going to be assholes then keep doing it. I'm not wasting my time talking to some piece of crap like you who doesn't know what they are talking about. Also if you guys want feminists see your side of the argument then stop being dicks. Multiple of feminists haters think I will listen if you be very rude to me and to keep spreading bullshit and don't even know what your talking about. That's not going to work so stop messaging me because I don't want notifications from your stupid ass.
@Speedbird_747 Bitch you don't know where I live, two you get angry easily so you will get your ass kick out quickly once they start asking questions why your there. and 3. Again if you going to take this personally remember this: YOU TALK TO ME FIRST ON MY COMMENT. And fourth now you threatening my life? are you that patheic?
pathetic*
I don't hate feminist, I believe the movement at its purest form allowed for certain inalienable right to be given to women. Women were being beaten, raped, even killed with impunity, they couldn't work. Some forced into prostitution because of the lack of labour opportunities. I feel for all the women of yesterday who fought for their rights its admirable. I can argue for both sides, most can't. I can. Modern feminism is largely radical, focusing on excluding themselves from social expectation. If your a true feminist, just remember that adhering to a philosophy is about balance. I meant no offense young lady.
@NoFcks2Give "true" feminism needs to be called something else to separate themselves from the radicals. I recommend using the phrase "egalitarian". It omits the "special" vibe that women try to derive by identifying as feminist. It's just plain equality (which I'm all for)
@sdistotallyme Oh ok my bad I'm just really tired of these assfaces on here. They are just morons thinking they know what they are talking about when they don't. But personally I prefer to use the label feminist because people are now too scared to call it exactly what it is. I'm not scare so I won't do that.
@NoFcks2Give Sorry for snaping but that's why I snap
@NatashaJ thank you. You have to realize most men AREN'T BAD. However feminism has radicalized in the last 20 years. You might not be a fem nazi but plenty of other women who identify as "feminist" are. Instead of trying to justify the label I would seriously consider using something else.
@sdistotallyme Nope I prefer the label if morons can't tell between the two there a reason why they are morons.
@hellionthesagereborn women studies isn't how she made it seem. I've taken it they don't really bash men but the females in class sometimes do lol overall it's about the wrongs of women and the development of them. & also where they would like to be.
@Kountry_King So talking about how it was like 50 years later and still now is false? no wonder most of you men are single you guys like to ignore the truth. K then.
When did I say it was false?
@Kountry_King saying what goes down in my classroom when you don't know what's going on is false.
I never said it was false, what you get from that class is your perspective I can't change it or say it's wrong. I told the guy feminism isn't how he made it seem & I spoke of my own experiences from taking the class.
@Righttobeararms83 Agreed.
Women are avoiding marriage too. They just want to fuck crazy hot guys throughout their teens and 20's and then when they hit their 30's and their looks start to fall apart, BOOM! They change their mind, they're ready for marriage now, to some poor beta male they would have spit on in the past, but his money's green so they marry him, and then they cheat on him after a few years. But that's only like 90% of women, so don't get too discouraged guys! You just gotta find a unicorn, that's all!
I'll tell you why. They get plenty of milk without buying the cow. Basically, girls/women have changed their view on sex before marriage, and as a result, guys get plenty of sex from the girl they love, instead of having to wait for marriage to get it.
Don't say "get" sex.
Not another "boo hoo, my gender makes my life crap while the other gender has it so easy" take. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You're a kid sweet-pee. You'll change your mind once you get older.
@Paul14, you don't even know how to spell sweet pea so I wouldn't be talking 😊😊😊
Awww isn't that nice? Do you really think I give a shit?
I doesn't benefit me as a man to knowing that
1. I can be bankrupt.
2. Homeless.
3. Locked out of my children's lives.
4. Viewed as the only reason for the divorce.
5. Lead to suicide/homicide or both.
6. Mental breakdowns.
7. Alienation from friends and family ( for some ).
all for a legally binding contract that gives women more rights than you by law while your the one that's funding this state sanction execution of yourself by unwittingly signing said contract.
well even tho some people may rather avoid it than face it... avoiding marriage is both a thing for men and women... the thing is... some people toss away tradition and prefer to cohabitate with their partner and this... makes them believe that they're glad living together and there's no need to get married and therefore its makes it less likely for marriage to occur...
But marriage isn't a necessity. Food is a necessity, water is a necessity, heck even shelter is a necessity.
@lacorine197 its all up to you to think this way
What do you mean? it's all up to me to think whether marriage is a necessity or not? a necessity is a need, marriage is a desire, a want, not a need.
Or some of us, you know, have jobs and don't want to deal with women and their drama
@E-Nigma what makes you think that when it comes to women its all about drama?
smh
@E-Nigma Agreed...
I think marriage is great if both are mature people who love each other, but I agree that we are now the privileged ones. And I think that has led to more divorces and bad situations. Society feels like they still have to protect us, so we get so much help whenever something goes wrong. I think that leads to many BUT NOT ALL women to rushing into things without thinking about because they know there are so few consequences if they screw up.
Divorce rates are staggering for these reasons but not all marriages fail after the nuptials. I know one couple who are still crazy about each other after ten years of marriage and three kids, so not all marriages fail but I see your point. I think that cohabitation seems easier because both parties know that they can leave at any time if the relationship doesn't make them happy, but who knows. I've never been married so I could be wrong lol
While this was a thought-out my take it's full of bulshit. Everything you're talking about is nothing but banter. I know of 30 couples easily that been married 20 and 30 years. Society is going to hell because they can't live with each other anymore. There's nothing else to say this my take proves my point
I definitely don't blame men for avoiding marriage. The laws aren't exactly fair to men in case of divorce.
If the divorce laws were more fair, more men would be willing to get married.
I've heard that men are avoiding marriage because women aren't offering enough to entice men into long term commitment
(1) you have sex without marriage,
(2) women expect to be treated like queens, even though they behave like sloughy peasants,
(3) by the time men get mature enough to marry, many of these women have already had a child or two.
-- Ultimately, why would good men with options choose to marry some of these women? It would be dumb to. -- of course, some women are very worthy.
They can't/ won't clean, cook either! I was raised to keep a clean home and cook from scratch along with tending the yard and automobiles. That shit is not slavery when doing it for the people you love!
Fuck you mariage! Women end up depressed and look a for the biggest cocks and get fucked once they give up on their husbands. Mariage is in it's last century and so is the federal banks! Once we understand how money is created we'll be free and all living towards a more utopic life. Not living up this fake American dream but yours!
Men and women are avoiding marriage for many reasons other than commitment. One reasons why men and women are avoiding marriage is because they can't financially support anyone other than themselves at the moment. Another reason is cause it's hard to find a good woman or man these days. You want to take your time and figure someone out before rushing into marriage. Marriage is forever (or so they say) and it's not something that you should rush into.
its mostly men avoiding marriage, most women still want it, however they are having trouble finding any man willing to commit these days. for obvious reasons.
@alphadoggystyle exactly.
@alphadoggystyle I'd rather have kids or just stay single. Marriage is off the radar for me.
I don't want to get married until the laws of it change. I will only get married or have a long term girlfriend who lives with me in my house if I am free of paying alimony, child support and my money/resources are 100% secured if we divorce or break up.
It's common sence lads.
So pretty much you want to make sure your Plan B won't bite you in the ass too much. Plan B is for people who expect to fail Plan A.
@DoctorNuggets what's your point? No matter what order they go in I still dont want to live my life with a woman knowing she could screw me over whether she cheats, gets bored of me, meets someone of higher value than me or whenever she feels like it.
I don assume plan A is gonna fail, statistics say so that it is and it's according to studies it say it's a very big risk for men to commit to women now. An obviously you must know the true natures of female hypergamy that's ingrained in to all females which is their biological default programming.
Bottom line is investing in women is a worse/riskier gamble than investing in stocks, shares or bonds. Don't buy women guys... only rent them.
Who knew women had the power to conjure such bitter betas.
@DoctorNuggets what you mean?
@DoctorNuggets am not bitter, just stating facts about marriage/long term cohabitation and why I don't to be involved in it... how does that infer am a beta that's bitter.
You mangina's always say that when you have nothing else to say or anything to back your claims
I agree with this article. My boyfriend and I plan to never marry unless there's some really good reason to (probably not). I don't look down on people who do, and like attending weddings and wishing well for new husbands and wives, but I'd never want to do it. If we ever hate each other enough to leave, I'd rather the door be easy to exit, and for there to be no negative feelings between me or him over "stealing" half our stuff if we're unhappy and want to divorce. I don't want him or I to be "tied" to each other by law, but only by love.
I can understand the financial reasons for getting married, though. I wouldn't do it for those, though.
