I’ve wanted marriage since kindergarten! rofl
And yes, I know there are plenty of wife material women for anyone!
I do also believe there are plenty of husband material men. I don’t know why they’re apparently hard for women to find, but I know they’re out there.
Because it is. And the guy especially has the most to loose generally if it ends up in a divorce. Think of it from the guy's perspective, would you risk your financial future? Literally. I've heard from some divorced guys that can barely survive financially now because of ex wives and/or child support. Would you like that if it was you?
By saying that it shows they are trying to demean what marriage is. It's more like lack of commitment, not only for the couple but for the kids. Moving in with the boyfriend is just the start, see how things work out. then , we are ok why do we need to get married, sadly they usually have children. Big upheaval.
It's when you are at the move in situation , that's the time to see what he wants. If he waffles on , it's big signal whether to go ahead or walk away...
Men don't need to get married to secure access to sex anymore. Plenty of women willing to hook up.
Other reasons may be because women don't want to marry in their 20's like they used to. They wait until they're approaching mid 30's and their fertility has cratered. Men want to have families of their own.
It's depend on country to country. if you see in asia there are lot of marriage scenes. but if you go to america or Europe there are lack of marriage system just like india and China. even divorce rate too high. so I would say there are problem related to social aspect.
Actually there are plenty of guys who do. There are multiple reasons why marriage rates are dropping (and divorce for that matter) is due to women going to college and wanting to find compatible mates. So we marry later.
The only reason people got married more often before was because it wasn't so acceptable to have sex before marriage so it was worth the trouble.
But now why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Cause it’s dangerous for us who’s to say that girl we love may not come back and want a divorce in 10-16 years and take almost everything we worked out whole lives for
Guys might want to eventually get married, though it mostly isn't a pressing problem for them of the present tense. They tend to have a more chilled out view and yet when they are indeed interested in someone for marriage, they will make themselves pretty clearly heard. :)
What man in his right mind would get married in this day and age?
There is not point in marriage when you have a 50% chance of divorce.
Divorce = losing most of your money and being a slave to alimony and child support until you fucking die.
I don't want to go through the marriage process. Just seems like a waste of time and effort. I also dont want people who haven't talked to me in ages hitting me up about it. Very little about marriage sounds appealing enough for me to care about it.
I'm not sure it's a selfish question. No one enters into an agreement to become worse off then they were before. So, getting married should benefit the family her and him. If the gives and gets don't add up to a win, no one is going to get married
Marriage is legally and financially bad for men. There is no benefit for men, only penalties. For women there are no penalties, only benefits.
If a woman insists on legal marriage she is pretty much admitting she is a thief.
It is up to women to get the laws changed so men don't get screwed over. Make it so men don't lose any money, property, alimony, etc. and stop stealing their rights to their own children and then men will be interested in marriage.
Until that happens we will know that women that want marriage are just a bunch of thieves.
i dont want to get married and Im a girl. marriage is unneccessary
My uncle once told me once you marry a woman they see you as a provider not as a lover. He got divorce a few years ago and doesn't want no paper to claim he is taken.
In a way he’s right, from what I’ve seen. Usually the guy isn’t seen as anything more than expendable and a provider and once they can’t provide or do anything else they’re tossed away like trash.
If you want to marry those women then go do it. Obviously they aren't up to snuff for most men.
What's in it for me? I don't give a fuck about marriage. That is your dream. Always was. Your dream of your dress and your special day. Men get brainwashed into being a fucking sidekick to women's desires in life.
Also, to add to the stories here, I've watched my father spend his entire working life providing for the family. He also found time to help out at home, get us kids up in the morning feed us, drive us off to the bus stop. He also planned special stuff for my mother's birthdays. But my mother was unhappy because they had moved abroad for my father's job, and she was lonely and unhappy in that country. And she took it all out on my dad. And that is why I don't believe in marriage. To have seen my father sacrifice everything, including his own health and happiness for this woman, and for him to be treated so awfully and for her to make all the decisions about how to spend the money he earned. Why the fuck should I go down that road? It's abusive. And society considers it normal.
I have something to add then, my mum worked a job while looking after the whole family and my dad would just sit down and watch TV all day. He refused to get a job, he refused to look after any of us. When my mum was in labour with me, she drove herself to the hospital because my dad would refuse to move. So she made food for my siblings before driving herself to the hospital to have me.
I still don't hate on men, after knowing how my father was. I still have belief that even after knowing how he lazy and awful of human he was, that I'll never marry anyone as awful as him.
He's a horrible human being, and I feel like people should know the other side of things too. That men can also ruin things. Because I'm so tired of reading how women screwed men over. When in fact, anyone can screw anyone over! There's so gender to it.
Too much financial risk... when I consider marriage, I'll use a loophole to own nothing but the clothes on my back and my jewellery (it's entirely legal I've spoken to 3 accountants who all agree)
Women aren’t worth marrying. Majority of women are overly liberal feminists. Guys don’t want to marry a women like that
I see this question answered about ten times a day on here.
Divorce, divorce, divorce, divorce, divorce.
