How are women supposed to find a husband when men don’t want marriage?

Question

I get men are against marriage these days because there’s no benefits for them but women get told to find a husband. But, how are women suppose to find a husband when men are avoiding marriage altogether? I’m just curious 🧐

Easy - don't give attention to men who don't want the same thing you do. You cannot change a man, despite what many young women believe. If you want marriage, search for a man who also wants it (they exist) and be upfront about it, rather than get into a relationship and then waste years waiting on a proposal that will never come. Be steadfast in your conviction.

Unfortunately, young people are largely raised by schools and tv these days, rather than by parents who should explain those things to them... young women waste their youth on such men, then move on to men who actually want the same things in life. And since there is no shortage of women who believe they can change a man or who think such men will one day "mature" to this decision, there are many men who don't bother offering commitment. They no longer need to. Women largely made themselves dispensable by offering easy sex with no commitment.

On the flipside, that might be a good thing because some people (both men and women) are simply not made for marriage so perhaps it is better that we do not live in a society that forces them to. Both for them, and their partners who would likely end up being cheated on. So yes, whatever it is you want in life - be it marriage, children, or lack thereof - find a person who feels the same way as you rather than hope to change someone's mind.

Same way women with self respect get decent men & aren't bothered by players, etc.

By having self respect, by having standards, by not going to bars / pubs expecting to find good men, by not getting involved with anyone who says hi or shows the smallest amount of interest, & by telling undesirable men with shitty behavior / ideology get lost.

It's that simple.

Men are more likely to be interested in marriage if a woman doesn't act and look like a trailer tramp. Dress respectfully. Act properly. Speak intelligently. Don't sleep with anyone and anything with a dick because men have to be able to trust - they are investing their time & money on you - and want to know you'd at least try to be faithful.

I wish I could tell you, then I could tell my sister. I think y'all gotta not let the online dating thing get to your head though. Any woman can get 1000s of matches, but 0-1 of those dudes would marry you. Understand this and re evaluate your standards accordingly.

Dating apps really fucked shit up. I wish they’d all burn, but perhaps they merely unleashed the demons within. I just turned 30, I look at the dating landscape and I say…I think I’ll just stay alone. Would love to meet the right person but it’s so difficult to find a girl who’s not a loose slut, and no women is even willing to believe a man with my options is not the same…honestly, church might be the place to go. Best girls I’ve ever known, morally and spiritually were Christian

The first obstacle for them is that they need to be a good quality woman and only go for men that are near her own quality. When she is low quality, which many are, then wants a higher quality man, she is setting herself up for disappointment.

The second obstacle is that she needs to offer to sign a prenuptial agreement for a man to take her seriously.

Vesuvius87 · Answer

I just got married in Sept 20 of this year. What I can suggest you is seek for a man with your same goals. Be very selective on your vettting process and ditch any man that's against marriage quickly. If marriage is what you want, don't agree to live together with a boyfriend because that would contradict yourself; you're searching for a husband, not a long-term boyfriend.

Fireguy17 · Answer

Many men do want to be married.
I did, that is why I got married for the 2nd time.
You probably need to look else where.
There are some dating sites where people are looking to be in a relationship, and marriage, but they are not the free download this app and get laid tonight apps.
Places like eHarmony, It's just lunch, where yes you have to pay to join, but most people because of the cost tend to be more serious about what they want.
yes some will use it as a hookup site, but at least when you view someone's profile you can see what they are looking for before you invest more time and only to find out that they were just looking to get laid.
I live in a tiny town, and the 3 single women in town were not what I was looking for, so I used a better online site and while it was still a lot of work, it is almost like a job, the end result speak for themselves.

There are men who want marriage. They are the invisible men. They don't look like Hercules, they look like accountants. They love working hard, playing hard, and having beers with friends. They mow their own lawns. The guys most girls would never even notice.

Those are the best guys to marry.

4ngelic · Answer

i think most dudes still want marriage at some point, though they tend to want it at a later age nowadays. if you find that dudes your age aren't into marriage yet (though a certain amount should be at your age), than you might want to go a bit older, like maybe for dudes 35-45. they'll be much more interested than guys in their early 30s to get married and have kids

BetaBucks · Answer

Yeah you have a good/important point. I don't know what the quick fix is though. I think maybe non-legal marriage should be discussed and accepted more. Like doing everything else the same besides the government contract. I think that would solve 75% of the issues men have. They'll put up with the personality stuff, for the most part.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I am a woman and married second time.
I understand men… they are simple. They want a good quality woman/wife to have/ to build a happy loving relationship/family.
they know when they see one who is wife material or one who they may not want long term… = Ms. Right now vs. Ms. Right to be married to.

do you carry yourself as a Ms. Right now or Ms. Right. ?

genericname85 · Answer

well figure out what it is men want. and hot tip here. you won't hear it from woke culture bullshit outlets like buzzfeed or whatever the lgbtq community and feminists say.

men do wanna marry. but they won't marry a hoe who fucked 100 men before them and has a running onlyfans account on the side.

Ironco · Answer

Men are easy, we just want to get to know a woman first, see what our interests are. If we connect, if the sex is good, fall in love, etc.

If she pushes the marriage to so, a man will run almost everytime.

Men are simpletons, just take your time or put in your time, how ever you want to look at it.

If he feels pressured, he's gone

Hanrej · Answer

Well, either women stop looking or they do what they always do. Make it a political issue and see if they can either force men into marriage against their will. This option seems more in line with how feminists politics usually works. Or they make efforts towards changing the laws to become more equal in marriage, essentially taking away their own advantage like men have done in politics these last couple of decades.

Doesn't seem very likely either option to be honest.

It's true that many men are avoiding marriage in record numbers today for the reasons you mentioned. But there are still men getting married, for better or worse. Good, worthy women can still find good, worthy men to marry. Just don't look for them on Tinder.

Purpleronnie · Answer

I wouldn’t say men are against marriage , for the ‘right’ woman etc I’d say that many men would marry. Secondly , since when did women always do what they are told?

ClassicDropout · Answer

Probably by knowing a lot about people. There's a lot of men that are still trying to get married at any age. You need to get to know them to even know that though.

Most men want marriage and a family, a lot of women just aren't worth it.

Not all men are avoiding marriage although I can understand why women would believe that if they are basing their opinion on the online community.

You might find luck through a church, or something? It used to be that people would rely on their immediate social circles to pick a match out for them.

noohair · Answer

Men used to have to make a commitment to a woman for sex. That was courtship and marriage. Women wanted equality and freedom. Guys don’t need marriage anymore for sex or children. This is what equality and freedom looks like.

What do you care if men want marriage or not? Aren't you the same person who said that men should just stop asking women out and stay single because women don't want to be with us in the first place?

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

Maybe you should stop listening to others trying to dictate a lifestyle and simply do what makes you happy and what you want.

So as others have pointed out, who is telling women to find a man?  Seems like women are being told they can do it all themselves and they don't need a man. So be it.
