+1 y1. Men don't want to be tied down just yet and that's just fine. Everyone doesn't want to be tied down by commitment and responsibilities.
2. Women are picky as heck.
3. Some men are actually legitimately scared to get married for reasons other than commitment. Marriage is legal and gets federal super quick. So if something were to happen to get the government involved, they are more inclined to listen to the lady than the guy.
4. Because they can.
5. Marriage is usually the last thing on our minds because we're too busy living our best lives.50 Reply

In many cultures around the world the women actually love and respect their men. Something sadly missing in American culture. Here the girls think they're the boss, are a princess, and everybody should bow down to them.1210 Reply- +1 y
This really isn't about brain development it's about hornyness that keeps men stupid till they are about 34. You right about how women are falsely programmed into believing their worth is far greater then it is and I'll add my take that the laws ensure men do overvalue women or they will be punished financially and or in jail time by false accusations by women who throw tantrums when they see a little truth as to their true value. But "many" cultures? No. In the past few decades lot of countries have had feminism derived laws unfair to men invade their legal systems. Other than most all Muslim countries and ones controlled by war lords and communism treat women far worse then what American women think how we would treat them if men were not forced into submission by feminism's unfair to men laws/courts. Since China is not affected by Feminism I would say that a huge chunk of the world's female population is not protected by laws unfair to men but now ALL 1st world countries are diseased with feminism.

Probably the guys who are keeping the marriage rate from getting into the teens percentage.
If you really look close at what the majority of these "older" men who get married look like what they do for work, hobbies and if you can their overall general health and you'll will find they always had disabilities that denied or greatly diminished their chances of sex their whole lives and the only thing they have/that they had to work years for to get is money. Typically most of the men in the group are over 34 marry mostly younger women by a few years but not the norm of close to ten years younger for men who marry earlier. \
So in conclusion these are the men who never got the kind of sex (some none) and in the amounts desirable men their age had when they were younger and it took them till they were much older to get the money to attract women and get a decent amount of sex. But they will never know the feeling of having lots/great/often sex as only a young man can. They are the bottom of the barrel aged leftovers.20 ReplyI married at 23

Honestly feel like it depends on how you were raised, how the economy looks, if you found the right person, or if you got pregnant that one was a big factor back then.
Everyone seems to miss the when your ready but being married and having a family helps you grow.
From what I have heard guys most of the time are not ready and women are tired of bad relationships and sacrificing thier youth for a possible failed marriage. A lot of women are now expressing thier sexuality like men and do not want to be attached.
A lot of men are not as confident in themselves and media kinda pushes sex as thier main importance as well as being the economy how it is it leaves them dependent on others which also makes them feel less of themselves.
You look at back then to now you can see the big difference in maturity and influences.36 Reply

I cannot argue with this. I will defend it buy says women are insane today. Courts and society have never been more biased against men. An accusation can end a man’s future without evidence. It’s happened a few times.
I agree with the fact men are less then they have ever been but argue women are too. They don’t act as wives, they demand equality in the same voice as their demands of privilege, being promiscuous… not women ide choose to marry. This don’t even consider the rate of divorce and who suffers the most cost in divorce.
I would be ok with a LTR but I wouldn’t marry any women.
+1 yBecause in America women have initial value in their beauty and fertility with decreases over time while men’s value is at its lowest early in and grows as he accumulates wealth, status, maturity.
1. While women have something of a timer on their beauty or fertility men have a longer period to shine.
2. It’s normal here for people to prioritize the present over the future and selfishly pursue personal desire. As women’s and men’s value peaks they can’t help but take advantage of it. Women start early sleeping around and partying while men tend to start later when the men have enough value to women to get laid. Then after their done having fun both sides settle down.
3. Men often see women as dangerous so their more uncomfortable and less likely to pursue. Both in society and court women’s opinions are treated as more valuable and their word is truth while men are lying.20 Reply

Yeah, a lot of American women simply aren't interested in dating, so men have stopped even trying. The women want to have careers and have spent their entire lives being told that they have to make money to be desirable, so they go through life believing that they can hold off on having a family until later in life.
- +1 y
They are under the heartbreaking impression that their career will lead to an emotionally fulfilling life, but the reality of careers is that there's a lot of luck involved to being successful and you can fail really easily. So these career women are trading something that will definitely give them happiness (at least, having a family does for most women), in exchange for a chance to roll the dice on an extremely unlikely chance of financial success and an extremely likely chance of wasting the best years of their lives to become a mid level employee at a job that doesn't make the impact they were hoping to make.
They marry late mostly because girls are into partying and stuff.

- +1 y
White Americans have their own culture that has been given to them by the mass media. African Americans have rap and hip hop, some is authentic but most is corporate crap. White Americans have "pro" Wrestling and Big trucks. There is also a lot of pressure from the Corporate media to change peoples normal behaviour. Its way better to have 1-2 children but have the generations close together. Even after the lifespan went way up at the end of the industrial revolution people were still having their children close together. You see all kinds of social changes from no fault divorce, abortion and lowering wages so women had to work too as well as all sorts of propaganda telling men and women to have children later or that their is no reason to at all. White americans were the most numerous and wealthy people in America so they were the early adopters for all of that from fast food and frozen dinners with testosterone lowering ingredients, to buying their daughters teen vogue and sending their sons to college. Their also the early adopters of organic and local. You would be likely to find a young working class person who has seen through the media manipulation would be wanting to settle down whatever their race.

American women marry late because they believed the lies of feminism that they can have children all the way into their 40's and EASILY get pregnant, have healthy babies. They also believe that their is more than enough rich successful professional college educated men to go around when in fact there is a massive supply and demand problem around 2 for every 10 women and even those two men know getting married reduces his chance of regular sex. For the women who accept reality early enough they have a shot at at least getting married but the hold outs likely will never be married or have a kid or kids, will live the rest of their lives in regret they believed the feminist lies and the proof of the lies was always right in front of them.
