Feminism and pornography are basically two root causes that are poisoning western culture. It's the Marxist agenda to destroy traditional relationships so that the state will become viewed as the family instead.
I met a womzn in the early 20000's
She said "Hold me white boy."
Now she's ! ike "Do you know any b! ack dudes hung like porn to gangbang me?
Because relationships are seen as investments now instead of a partnership between two people who love each other
Because women are not virgin. It takes less than 5 minutes for a good looking virgin to find a perfect husband.
5 minutes that's quicker than a microwave
I think it ultimately boils down to "what can marriage give me which an informal relationship cannot?"
Most men don’t want a relationship or meet a girls parents and say he’s her boyfriend. Most only want sex one night that’s it
We're in reality not much different than animals in this regard. If men are rewarded for being a certain way you encourage more of that behavior & vice versa. What incentive do men have to take relationships seriously?
Probably cause tinder and everyone A side on social media.
Perhaps it is because people don't see marriage as permenant. They know they can divorce and marry another person.
Because women are encouraged to treat men as disposable on many levels and men don't gain what they used to via marriage.
That goes both ways
@ShaTTeredMasterpeace Nah. The men who you think treat women as disposable are in the top 20% of males. Most men often treat their girlfriend/wives very well but female hypergamy will always have a woman wanting more.
The law is really tilted towards women. You hear about a lot of dads winning custody and collecting child support?
People who want more meaning in life will. Living a shallow life can get old after so long.
because everything is about them and no one else matters
Because sex isn’t special anymore because of hookup culture and metoo
Like why not its fun and if you find someone you realy like you can always get in a relationship
I think that's what they're afraid of that it's going to stay short-term that it would never progress to long term that's where people are expressing that fear and that nobody will ever grow and move on and that is an essential threat to human beings.
I think it's because of being afraid of getting hurt
Probably because most marriages end in divorce and the majority of women are just after men with a significant net worth $$$. Dating is even more of a joke what with all the social media and dating app bullshit.
What happens. Woman has sex and uses her youth to lock down men she is actually attracted to sexually. Will then switch tactic and go after men who are good providers later in life who they don't necessarily need to love or have sexual attraction for. It's why a lot of marriages end in divorce because the woman went in the relationship with little to no sexual attraction for her husband.
I'll take a relationship seriously when I find someone I connect with.
Because people are fond of making themselves undateable. So no one can stand the other person.
Most men are lazy when it comes to maintaining relationships.
It's not just on the men tho. It takes both parties involved to maintain.
Right and women aren't lazy either? Give me a break
Because they only want sex that's all, they are not thinking seriously...
why would they? wht's the benefit of taking it seriously? what's the drawback of "not" taking it seriously?
I mean women dont wait for marriage so why bother getting married? there's so many hos why not just focus on gym and making money and live a playboy lifestyle? Seems better to me than marrying a ho.
most women are only interested in what man makes so therefore you see relationships go downhill. blame females.
Nah. I blame all parties involved.
I'm aiming for marriage
You're in a relationship already tho
And I wanted marriagecatvthe start. Not with my girlfriend then because I didn't know her well enough.
Not sure, i think sometimes people forget that everything in this life is loseable so they take things more forgranted and therfore less serious
We are taught that relationships are disposable and people to be used by the media...
Because it is the age of pimps and whores thanks to the mighty MERICA
I think it depends on the person.
Men are taking their gatekeeper role much more seriously now than they used to. And women are doing just the opposite with theirs.
Availability. The amount of choices outweigh the moral of sticking it out.
this whole idea that women can be "independent" and that they dont' "Need men"
Because green blue people rule the world
Regarding your question
Here is my real answer
Most people don't believe their are going to live past the year 2030. So they are out to bang or get banged by as many as possible before life is over
Kinda like a bucket list
Why would anyone want to get married?
Do people even take life seriously anymore?
That's the real question
Societal and cultural values have changed
People aren't a monolith. Many do and many don't.
That's why I said most and not all
I mean, even most or majority would be hard to distinguish. Like 51% would be most and a majority, but 49% isn't exactly small. My guess would be 3/4s would be "take seriously" "neutral" and "doesn't take seriously" and the rest are at extremes or have completely different ideals for relationships. There would be groups for people with open relationships, swingers, both cuck differences, polygamy, polyandry, and so on. Bunch of little percents that majority might view as kind of "out there" as far as relationships are concerned.
Who's to say they ever did? 😂
Ikr to me relationships aren't about chemistry at all they're only about sex but at least I dont gotta lie to girls like some guys will do.
Because your dating the wrong guy?
I'm not dating any guys
Well I'm single 😋
Fucking hate dating. Everybody's stupid AF
These days it's just all about sex.
I wouldn't say that
@crossdressingrihno What would you say, then?
I would say the government has designed marriage in such a way that does not fit the modern society
And as such legal marriage has become less and less of an option
The marriage system we know today was designed around the idea of women being homemakers and men making all the money but that is not the case anymore The world isn't based around women working the kitchen and Men working in oil fields and as such marriage laws need to change to fit the times not that they will but they need to
These days marriage is just a way to con someone out of their money and combine that with the current culture you have to keep an eye out that someone doesn't use marriage to con you out of your money
People still want to have the connection people still want love they still want romance they still want these things and people are still trying to get the love the romance the connection and all of this sure is sex part of it yeah it definitely is but it is not the only factor and has varying importance depending on the relationship and it varies a lot
@crossdressingrihno I think you're focusing too hard on the "marriage" part of it and you missed the overall point. Yes, she used the word "marriage," but the theme of her post is about long-term relationships.
Look at the very last paragraph of what I said
@crossdressingrihno
I read it. But my original point was that sex IS the only factor to a lot of people these days.
Prostitution is one of the oldest careers to ever exist
The idea of sex being SUPER important is nothing new
Let's look at some biblical stuff I'm not a Bible person myself if I'm being honest but there are still two interesting facts that prove my point
First off I don't know if it was one town or two towns but there was a place called Sodom and Gomorrah and God apparently made a gigantic flood because of these two towns or this one town that just has the word and in it I don't know but either the name came from the word sodomy or the word sodomy came from the name but either way that is a reference to filatio
The second big thing from the Bible is the seven cardinal sins one of those sins being lust and of course this is in reference to sexual urge
But I forgot to mention one more thing that's kind of important
The church didn't recognize you as married until you consummated your marriage consummating your marriage meaning having sex after getting married
Because yes sex has been very important is been a very big thing since I don't even know when like we can't really date back to where sex became like this major religious and political thing but we know that it goes back before the Romans and we know that human civilization has always had the topic of sex being one of its major foundations
Sodomy is not fellatio. Sodomy is anal sex.
Google says it's both
Either way point still stands
But you're still missing the point. What we're talking about here is a committed romantic relationship. Sex is just a small part of that.
Sex being this massive thing is far from new
"@crossdressingrihno
I read it. But my original point was that sex IS the only factor to a lot of people these days."
Also your comment actually leads us full circle
As the reason for long term relationships not being as important has to with marriage
What's the point in being in a long-term committed relationship if you're not going to get married and what's the point in getting married if you have to worry about getting stabbed in the back
It also leads us back to sex
"Because why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"
Basically there's very little need for commitment
You see marriage and starting a family is two of the three major reasons for commitment the third reason is for sex
Having a kid without being married is dangerous and getting married is dangerous
And people are just so open to sex these days without getting married so I mean the safest and easiest option is just going to be have a quick fling and then move on with your life
"Because why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"
That's what low-class people say. Misogynists who are only in it for themselves. They do not care about love. Love means nothing to them.
"Basically there's very little need for commitment"
If you're not going to be committed, then why be in a relationship at all?
For the sex
Do you understand now?
"And people are just so open to sex these days without getting married so I mean the safest and easiest option is just going to be have a quick fling and then move on with your life"
Which is exactly what I said.
But it sounds like you're ENDORSING IT. While I'm presenting it as an object of scorn and ridicule and disgust.
And?
The question isn't is it good or bad
The question is WHY is it happening and I awnserd that
"then why be in a relationship at all?"
"For the sex"
🙄😐🤦

It's the "the point; your head" meme.
I don't pay attention to memes anyways I feel I should be the one facepalming
Feminism and free sex.
Because a big number of people do not poses love.
Because all they want is sex nothing else.
I know the feeling
Hookup culture
no Christ
