Also why are women choosing marriage at the same rate?
2 mo
Studies show that fewer men each year choose marriage. If there are so many benifits then why are so fewer men choosing marriage?
because truth is... there are plenty of men who can get the benefits of marriage without ever having to commit. why would he marry her if she is ALREADY washing his underwear, helping him pay his bills, raising his kids, cooking his lunch boxes, picking up his laundry from the dry cleaners?
A lot of dumb women are being tricked by men telling them "marriage is just a piece of paper". If marriage is just a worthless piece of paper, then money is just a worthless piece of paper. Commitment is never ever worthless. Talk about being commitment means nothing if you can't prove that you are committed. Marriage is the ultimate form of commitment.
And as for the those who claim that marriage is worthless because you have NO FAITH that your future relationship will last forever... you are exactly the problem! You will never be able to maintain a marriage if you want to escape whenever things get difficult. Marriage is SUPPOSED TO BE through thick and thin. You can't just stay when things are happy but ditch when things get tough. Its not that marriage is not doable... its just that you have a very fucked up mentality on what MARRIAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
If everyone kept abandoning their partners, there would be NO SUCH THING AS FAMILY. Everyone in the US would be in broken families... kids will never have permanent "parents". Society will be filled with single parents, step daddies, bfs / gfs rotating in your childrens lives.

Aside from those of us who are religious, there is no reason to marry. Particularly in the west. It is more of a detriment to men than an advantage and the prospects of divorce and having to live in mommy’s basement after subsequent divorce is exceedingly high.
When women return to cooking and baking and caring for the home, instead of trying to compete with men, and in fact trying to be men and doing it poorly. When divorce laws are changed to fairness and when women bring value to the table other than their vagina, perhaps then the situation can be reevaluated.
For men who want children, marriage will be best for the child, or at least a permanent girlfriend.
For men who don’t believe in God or care what he says, and for men not interested in having children, marriage should be avoided at this time.
As for women staying at the same rate, it can only enhance the security of themselves and possible children. Which is something they greatly desire from a relationship. They want stability in return for access to their vagina, which they will grant like once every few months if they feel like it. If the marriage does not work out they get to leave with the child and cash and prizes. Feminism and its effects are directly to blame for low marriage rates. Enough men have watched mom cheat on dad, and dad now living in a studio on the poor side of town after sacrificing himself and wants regularly to get the message.

There is simply nothing in it for a man anymore.
Ask Kevin Costner why not choose marriage. The prenuptial is the ONLY thing that saved his ass. And he's still paying her 62k a month. I'm not saying 62k a month isn't worth the 18 years. He gave to her. I mean considering that was the most productive years. Of her life it probably is. But you have to ask how much would she have made if she had never married him? And she wanted a lot more.
It's sad but it's just a reality of life now. There is very little reason for a guy to marry anymore. You can still get sex, you can still co-habitate. You can still be married in every way except the actual vows. And save exposing yourself financially.

Marriage is unnecessary these days when you can have all the same benefits without the law involved. Men feel like it’s a trap. I’ve been married and divorced and will probably never get married again, because I can be in a committed relationship with a man with out feeling like I am his property. I would have to feel madly in love with a man to go as far as marrying him, maybe when I’m older I’ll change my mind but right now the thought or mention of marriage makes me want to run for the hills.

Because men are finally getting wise. Men see what their mothers did their father's, what was done to their uncles, and older brothers.
Modern women want a wedding, but don't want to be wives. Modern women want children but don't want to be mothers. Modern women. Spend their 20's getting run through by 30-50 guys, then look for a simp to pay for everything and have kids with... the. divorce him, take everything, and go back to getting run through.
What man would sign up for this? -
Because people are beginning see through the lie perpetuated for many years that marriage benefits men as much as it does women. A healthy, long lasting marriage benefits both partners significantly, but divorce benefits women while it harms men, which is why half of marriages end in divorce and women file 80% of them. If you factor in those things, which the prominent studies never did, marriage is a net positive for women and a net negative for men. That genie is out of the bottle, and unless women make significant changes (very unlikely), marriage will be a thing of the past within another generation or two at most.

When kids are involved, marriage should be involved.
A man who knocks up a girl and then is nowhere to be found, unless that is what she wants, should be hog tied nude to the back of a pick up truck and drug through streets paved in broken glass!
Other than that I don't really have a strong opinion on the matter.

"If there are so many benefits..."
And that is just it. For men, there no longer are. The old "social contract" has been utterly torn asunder by "3rd Wave Feminism", and it was even somewhat stunted by the "2nd wave Feminism," although the latter did not destroy it. What rational man signs on to a contract that has all risks magnified and any benefits diminished?
-
Fewer women too. Many people are living in common law marriages. Though feminists are looking to get common law marriages recognised as full legal marriages. So imagine you break up with your girlfriend after 5 months and she wants half and alimony
-
Years ago unmarried people were viewed with suspicion and there was huge social pressure to marry to fit in. Times have changed and people no longer feel pressure to conform. The days of a bad husband is better than no husband are long gone.
-
marriage doesn't benefit men whatsoever
all this female empowerment crap has women destroying entire families because she's "bored"
-
It's actually a mutual decision so, if you weren't a redpill ragetard, you would instead say "fewer men and women each year choose marriage"
-
Lol it's not that they aren't choosing it's just that they can't find a woman who is willing
-
Lesbians, I guess. That's the only explanation I can think of for the same amount of women getting married, but less men getting married.

I suppose the boys start to look around how marriage transformed other men into wrecks with regrets and ask themselves why should they follow up and become like them. Something to think about.
-
Send all single women to my country. I want to marry I know the benefits of the marriage.
If you don't then it's not an issue for me. Less competition 😂 -
Too hard to find a good woman, and just too much hassle.

Social media 😂😂trend influenced it
