Is it better to marry these days? Why or why not?

[cth2188]

Why or why not?

I’m not interested in marriage these days less more a relationship

[Chris_Chambers0010]

I was married, it was good and bad.
I'm happy I was married when we had our baby. We had a nice family structure while our child was little and we worked together to raise him. Eventually smartphones and social media came along and caused outside temptations to creep into our situation eventually destroying our marriage. I probably wouldn't get married again because it's a different time now. Unless I met someone completely different from my ex, but I'm not planning on having more kids or getting married again.

[cth2188]

How I feel dating is too modern to even considering getting married less more dating

[cth2188]

I’m not interested in dating nowadays

[Chris_Chambers0010]

It's too bad that it's gotten to this point.
I really loved being in love and being in a long, intimate, committed relationships. It all I know.
The way people have friends with benefits or Tinder dates now just seems empty to me.
I don't get how it's satisfying to them. I was used to having the most beautiful woman I ever saw living with me and being close to me all the time.

[cth2188]

Yep it’s all about sex, playing mind games, lies , cheating , and ghosting dating in today’s climate makes me sick / I don’t invest I do nothing I avoid all of it

[cth2188]

I wine and dine my own self no dates nothing at least I don’t have to worry being asked for sex

[Chris_Chambers0010]

I know how you feel, I pretty much keep to myself now too.
I don't want to get married again or have more kids, and the concept of just having sex with a person who's also having sex with others doesn't make me happy.
I'm either all the way into a relationship and want to be inseparable with a woman, or I'm just content on my own for now. If I can't have everything from her I'm not gonna settle for just sex.
I would rather just do it myself and fall asleep without any feelings of sadness because my sex buddy is just a sex buddy and it doesn't compare to the relationships I used to have.

[cth2188]

Yes I’ve been in celibacy 5 years now and don’t regret putting myself out here to even be noticed dating isn’t worth the headache or stress

[cth2188]

I’m better off single

[cth2188]

I get the same old same old sexual advances

[Chris_Chambers0010]

That's true.
To be honest being on Girls ask Guys is probably bad for me because it makes me think about relationships and remember old times. When I'm away from this website I move on mentally.

[cth2188]

Same GAG keeps me a float I don’t remember anything and my private groups I’m in

[scott04sa22]

My younger married his long term girlfriend and there still married

[scott04sa22]

Younger brother*

[cth2188]

Did he meet her online?

[scott04sa22]

High school

[cth2188]

Nice - it’s best when they are not online

[scott04sa22]

Oh yes

[cth2188]

Yes why I’m against online dating

[scott04sa22]

Same here

[cth2188]

You couldn’t pay me

[scott04sa22]

I can’t have any romantic relationships anyways because I’m unable to drive for life. You want love then you gotta have a vehicle

[cth2188]

Yes sadly

[cth2188]

And money smh

[scott04sa22]

My finances are OK. My lack of no driving drives people away

[cth2188]

Same here I can’t deal with the dating world right now

[scott04sa22]

Same here again

[cth2188]

No lies no bs no mind games I’m tired

[scott04sa22]

I’m tired too

[scott04sa22]

Thanks for the MHO

[Seinna]

It's not something anyone can convince you of by giving you pros and cons. Either you want to or not and if you don't then don't get married because you can make someone unhappy. Life is definitely easier (and more pleasant) with a partner though.

[RandomGuy1030]

A friend is just as much of a partner so deduct having a partner from the plusses

[cth2188]

It’s not about the pros and cons I simply don’t care to get married in this day and time due to the dating climate realizing it’s better to be single

[Babygirl_S]

Getting married and dressing up in red like a typical Indian bride with ethnic jewellery is my dream.

[cth2188]

So beautiful congrats

[Babygirl_S]

Thanks for the MHO!

[bamesjond0069]

No benefits unless you're a gold digger. Then its better than ever.

Marriage is the biggest factor in divorce or separation. If you dont marry there exists some of the traditional incentives to remain together. If you do marry you have immediately provided the woman with an incentive to cheat or divorce.

[cth2188]

I’m traditional the problem is too many people are modern

[bamesjond0069]

Partially. Legally marriage today is not the same thing as marriage in the past so while i agree the laws were favorable for marriage in the past they are not anymore. They are favorable for divorce presently.

[cth2188]

Yep sadly

[bolverk]

For men getting married has few attractions the only one of any use is a minor tax reduction.
If I want children I can employ a surrogate, the only thing I would not be able to do is breast feed them everything else I've already done as the elder brother to four sisters and as an uncle to nieces & nephews.

[Berethor]

Better to marry in other time, there is pandemic going on.

[cth2188]

Yep it’s crazy out here

[Heiniken]

Marriage in itself is not the problem.

Its the unjust divorce laws. Once those get fixed the marriage rates will go up.

[Fuentes]

I would defenitley not get married in todays climate. It ruins life's & it's a big chunk of time waster

[cth2188]

Facts

[Sfggdd]

Marriage is great. But can you find a woman that’s great?

[cth2188]

Maybe if she’s traditional

[UniquelyBasic]

Seems everything is suited more for a two income household so in that aspect its better.

[cth2188]

I’m not taking care of a spouse financially sorry

[cth2188]

Besides people are doing 50/50 nowadays

[UniquelyBasic]

Why not?

[cth2188]

Because that’s what modern people do and I’m not modern so dating and marrying anyone in this day and time won’t work

[cth2188]

As I don’t take care of spouses financially nor go 50/50

[UniquelyBasic]

Wait, so are you against helping financially in a relationship given the other is as well?

[cth2188]

What part did you not understand? I am not looking to financially take care of a spouse within a marriage , go 50/50, and date in this day and time as dating is too modern nor am I modern

[UniquelyBasic]

So you want to be a traditional wife then? Stay at home and have the man work?

[cth2188]

I don’t date men as I’m lesbian - I don’t want anything with anyone society is too modern

[cth2188]

Better off remaining single

[UniquelyBasic]

Thats okay, you have the right to stay alone.

[cth2188]

Yes as I choose to be

[UniquelyBasic]

Hope you find the girl of your dreams.

[cth2188]

I’m not interested in finding anyone

[cth2188]

I’m content solo

[cth2188]

Idgaf about finding anyone

[UniquelyBasic]

Cool 😑😑

[cth2188]

Who cares about finding love? I have loving friends

[Lookingforthetruth]

You are a fool if you get married to a modern day woman.

[cth2188]

Anyone who is modern can kick rocks I don’t engage with these people

[RARETRAMP]

All men in the world would marry me but I'm straight that's a parallel

[SignedAutographs]

It's cheaper. By definition, it's cheaper to LIVE as a married couple, than as a single person. Go look at your taxes, and tell me it's not

[cth2188]

No one is worth marriage nowadays

[cth2188]

Sorry

[cth2188]

Not in this day and time with modern dating

[SignedAutographs]

I guarantee you, it's cheaper

[cth2188]

I don’t deal or date modern people

[cth2188]

I’m not modern

[cth2188]

Not interested in dating anyone in this climate sorry

[SignedAutographs]

Yikes

[cth2188]

Been single by choice 7 years it will remain

[SignedAutographs]

Like i said, yikes

[JuanVeIasco]

Only a foolish man gets married these days.

[cth2188]

I don’t date men, but even still getting married in these times isn’t worth it
