Why More Men Than Ever View Marriage as a Bad Deal

Because so many men are selfish, just like the women. And they are bankrupt and blind in the knowledge that without love nothing else matters. Marriage and family is God's plan for His true, deep and ever lasting love to flourish between people.

Song of Solomon 8:7

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

[Architect of Avalon]

Women are completely faithful to the object of their devotion, which is, of course, the man’s wallet.

The man himself, however, is treated as disposable.

[Secret Agent Man]

Also, the WOMEN see the men as atms and husbanks as well. that is why they married them in the first place. they were good controllable beta male providers.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah all you men, get back on the marriage plantation. Be good little husbanksmfor the woman that owns you.

[Secret Agent Man]

Dead right.

I understand that now even prenups are no guarantee against a bad divorce. If the woman's attorney can convince the judge that she was pressured in any way to sign the prenup (e.g. the guy wouldn't marry her unless she signed it) or that the terms are unfair, then the prenup can be thrown out.

I think it’s a good idea going in both directions.

There is no reason to risk what you have earned in life for the prospect of true love, which is rare.

People are deceptive, and they often have hidden agendas.

Yeah, I’ll take a chance on you, but you leave with what you came in with if it doesn’t work out. I see nothing wrong with this, and if it goes over like a lead balloon, send them on their merry way, you’ve lost nothing.

The West will fall. You can bet on it.

[MountainWalker]

Not sure if I believe that story. If it is true, that’s sick but pretty incredible that it was pulled off. I’m a terrible liar, but a convincing truth teller. If that happened to me and I couldn’t get the cops to believe me, I’d demand a polygraph to make sure of it.

But it soon became evident that they were not I interested in equality, but in superiority.

My grandmother used to tell us that it takes a good woman to make a good man, and it takes a good man to make a good woman.

It's not a marriage anymore, it's more of a competition to see who can dominate they other.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah marriage is so goo the cdc stats show that between 93-96% of all first marriages in America end in divorce within 10 years.

Its so good that in 80% of marriages the woman bails.

Yup those are real wonderful odds there for men.

Only a woman would say marriage today is the best, because only women can benefit from it and also know divorce isn’t going to hurt them at all.

[MinorityRepublican]

Because so many men are selfish, just like the women. And they are bankrupt and blind in the knowledge that without love nothing else matters. Marriage and family is God's plan for His true, deep and ever lasting love to flourish between people.

True but all of what you mentioned are symptoms of civilization collapse.

[Secret Agent Man]

Any judge for any reason can toss out a prenup. She can claim she didnt understand what she was signing. She can claim pressured to sign. They can argue anything and the judge can for just abput any reason, nullify the prenup.

[cazmandeuce]

Maybe you nay saying donkeys need to look elsewhere for Mrs. Right. OMG, you all are ridiculous. I know it may surprise a bunch of you but sometimes love really is love, and when you find it that other person is willing and wanting to follow the same steps through life.

[Secret Agent Man]

His argument is a crock. Men are not the ones bailing out on marriages, the women file in at least 80% of the cases. Theyndo this because they know they wont be hurt in divorce and end up with way more assets than they entered into the marriage with.

‘That male dockworker can no longer support a family by himself’

The average dock worker today earns $147,000 a year. In other words, enough to raise a family and have a wife almost anywhere n the country.

Stevedores do very well these days. They are all unionized as well.

🎶She got the gold mine!

I got the shaft.

They split it right down the middle,

And then they give her the better half.

Well, it all sounds sorta funny,

But it hurts too much to laugh.

She got the gold mine - I got the sha-a-aft.🎶

[Ambrosia]

Thanks for posting the truth, I was getting depressed reading this thread. So sad the comments.

If I’d have shot my ex when I first wanted to, I’d have been out by now.
