For an army of women, Mr Right is simply not there, no matter how hard they look for him. And the reason? When it comes to marriage, men are on strike.
Why? Because the rewards are far less than they used to be, while the cost and dangers it presents are far greater.
‘Ultimately, men know there’s a good chance they’ll lose their friends, their respect, their space, their sex life, their money and — if it all goes wrong — their family,’ says Dr Helen Smith, author of Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood And The American Dream.
‘They don’t want to enter into a legal contract with someone who could effectively take half their savings, pension and property when the honeymoon period is over.
‘Men aren’t wimping out by staying unmarried or being commitment phobes. They’re being smart.’

We have reached the point in our decline where a large portion of our young, child-bearing aged women come from broken families or families with absent dads. We are also at the point where young men have been conditioned into betas by the SJWs. The result is very few “good” alpha males. Most alphas today are rebels and frankly unworthy of having children. Women want alphas and they want children, but have to choose one or the other. The result is what we are seeing: slutty women screwing with their hormone balance so they don’t get knocked up by someone unworthy of fatherhood, resulting in mental illness and beta men dropping out of society completely and going their own way with the aid of internet porn. The betas that do find a woman willing to settle down with them let them run the asylum and usually get cheated on, submit to cuckold, or the woman eventually leaves for “excitement”.
If I had to do it all over again (in my mid 40s and having never married), I’ve contemplated the idea of living overseas in Asia or elsewhere for a few years and marrying there and bringing my wife back to North America.
I don’t wish to paint many with the same brush, but I find it disturbing the idea that it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to expect a big lavish wedding (and even bachelorette party) and then after being married to treat the man like some ignorant low life who can do nothing right and then make outrageous demands in a divorce. No wonder why the term “starter marriage” is so commonly used now.
Forgive me, this is one of those rare occasions in which I will discuss something like this aspect of my life.
In fact, I'm pretty darn good at what I do, and it doesn't involve television or being a cro-magnon.
So that stereotype is out for me at least.
And I won't get married because I know the score.
And abstinence works.
Nope.

Heterosexual males don’t want to get married...
Heterosexual females tend to be strongly independent, working, and self-sufficient.
And both are avoiding marriage because of the fear of divorce and the ‘greed’ that is involved.
And in other news...
Gay couples are demanding the right to marriage. The ability to adopt and raise children. The ability to create a ‘family,’ contrary to how dysfunctional it appears.
Sigh...
One of the best comments posted to the “Daily Mail’s” story...
“Fewer people are getting married and those that do marry about 40-50% end in divorce. If you were told that 40-50% of the time parachutes did not open would you go skydiving?”
“They don’t want to enter into a legal contract...”
Wrong. There is no “legal contract” anymore. A contract is not severable by one party on absolutely no grounds at all. What we traditionally call “marriage” hasn’t actually existed in the legal sense for several decades in this country.
“eligible mates refuse to man up.”
Trying to shame men into jumping into a pot of boiling water won’t work anymore.
We get all mad at the Sodomites for wanting to redefine marriage, but that happened when divorce became the norm.
I think you can be a jerk and still be good at what you do. And aren’t we all Cro-Magnon?
Go shove your feminist shaming tactics where the sun don’t shine. That stuff is old and tired and doesn’t work anymore.
Most of these problems became likely with no fault divorce.
Actually, homosexuals demanding marriage include them only became possible due to no fault divorce.
“... and bringing my wife back to North America.”
That would be a fatal mistake. They’d quickly get “americanized” and then you’ve shot yourself in the foot.
Sorry you feel that way. A happy marriage is a huge blessing.
“Women indeed are the “gatekeepers” of civilized society. When men have to channel their sex drive into maintaining a relationship and supporting someone else besides themselves, we have civilization.
When they are allowed to not have that restriction on their copulation, there is chaos.”
That doesn’t seem to be the case with the Religion of Peace . . .
And the whining, mewling single women that wind up here can look wistfully all they like.
I'm not going to get trapped.

In the ROP, “marriage” is a farce,
and the men seem to like “other” sources of sex,
so we do see the chaos consequent of unrestricted copulation.
Men who think all money coming into a marriage belongs to him alone should never get married. They should hire a housekeeper. Oh but that would cost money. LOL
Guys will never learn. They run after the gals with the breast implants and the provocative clothes and then wonder why it doesn't work out.
As I said in another post, marriage in the legal sense hasn’t existed in this country for decades. If you want more people to marry, you had best concentrate on fixing that first.
