Why the hell would any man want to bed down with a legal system that gives women everything after a divorce?   My only disagreement is the long term monogamous part.  Screw that.  Rotate new  ones in every few months.

One wonders where the next generation of Americans is going to come from with you guys not marrying and not co-habituating with women.  How are we going to Make American Great Again if we quit making new Americans?

You poor little babies.  You did a shitty job picking women now you want to take your ball and go home.  Boo Hoo.

You're not getting Laid anyway so you might as well disregard females completely, as the end result is basically the same. Thats what its about. I was into it for several years until I ran across a quality woman. If that doesn't work out I'd probably go right back where I left off.

Because in the end you'll be a shallow, lonely, emotional cripple.

It used to be that growing up entailed picking a good woman, getting married, setting up a home, having and raising children.  Now we raise man-children that want to live in perpetual adolescence.

Interesting point.  My wife tells my sons this also.  We see a divorce rate over 50% and the guy gets screwed over every time.  There is NOTHING to be gained by getting married.  It is a legal farce and I stand by that.  

BTW, I have been married 31 years to the same woman and she is too good for me.

It used to be that women knew their place in the home / family setting too.  Times change.

Now women are "empowered" and try to do it all.  When they fail, they blame their husbands and cash out.

There is no relationship / pussy on the planet worth that kind of financial / emotional roller coaster.   Fuck um.

After my marriage imploded I was (obviously) single for a while. After not having someone to sleep next to I finally said "fuck this" and found myself a nice, sane woman who wasn't looking for a sugar daddy. Hell, she makes more money than I do.

Been together for a few months now and couldn't be happier.

Swearing off women entirely? Doesn't compute - I couldn't do it.

My view is actually almost the exact opposite of your last full sentence.  Man/boys are "generally" assholes and childish pricks. Women involved with a guy that is a giant bag of dicks doesn't mean the guy "did a shitty job of picking a woman". Rather it could mean that she got tired of his bullshit and sued the fuck out of them. Can't say I blame them....although that exact same system did exactly that to me as well.  

My experience is that there a a TON of GREAT women available but they know how to spot their former douche bag husband at a 1000yrds now and aren't playing that game again.  

Marriage is a whole different all game and I am of the opinion that I do not want the Secular State involved in my private religious sacrament----if it is even that.

How many men look at a women as a potential mate and think "is she a mature reasonable person that would be a good mother to my children"?  I'll tell you that in years past many men, at least those that had a bit of maturity themselves, would ask themselves these questions before getting into a marriage.

It seems as if most men today aren't thinking much beyond "nice tits" in picking a mate.  That and the fact that post 1960s we seemed to have decided that selfishness is a virtue.  I suppose the results are predictable.

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play.

You now have a generation of men that were raised by divorced women. They watched the financial ruin and mental torture their fathers went through when the marriage went of the rails and have decided to say "no thanks" to an institution that offers considerable risk with little gain when things do work correctly. An unmarried couple can do anything a married couple can just without the possibility of giving up half of everything you worked for and making a lifetime of alimony payments when your other half decides to start fucking their personal trainer. Eventually I expect to see more common law type rules put into place to provide women a way to transfer wealth from their long term partners when and if things come to an end now that a lot of men are no longer buying the cow.

What you guys are advocating is what has essentially already happened in much of Europe where marriage is as an institution for all practical purposes dead.   Young Europeans don't much bother to get married and consequently don't much bother to have children. The end result is that these societies are on their way out.  They are winning the societal Darwin award with fertility rates in the range of 1.2 ~ 1.3 in many areas.  So you see, your proposal isn't what we call "viable in the long term".  In these areas Europeans are being replaced by immigrants from the third world that will bother to procreate and .... heaven forbid .... co-habitate with a woman (!).

So explain to me how what you're suggesting is a long term plan for this country?

Not many states recognize common law marriage these days. Illinois actually outlawed common law marriage over 100 years ago for example. For all it's other shitty legal statues Illinois is fairly reasonable when it comes to divorce laws when compared to places like California, New York and Texas which are possibly the worst states for a man to get divorced in.

Well, a reasonable man might say to himself ... "better make sure that I marry an emotionally mature woman that shares my values" rather than "I'm taking my ball and going home".

The former is a grown up response to the situation, the latter is not.

It used to be that growing up entailed picking a good woman, getting married, setting up a home, having and raising children.  Now we raise man-children that want to live in perpetual adolescence.

Then along came no fault divorces. It used to be that only the upper classes got married as a means of maintaining hereditary ownership of estates and to maintain political alliances. Commoners rarely married.

What's old is new again.

In this country what you suggest has really never been true.  We have a long history of a large and robust middle class and as a rule the middle class and above married at high rates and were known for stable long term marriages.

But perhaps you're suggesting that you consider yourself a "commoner" and you find the historical precedent for skipping marriage appealing.

You are correct however in noting the pathology created by no fault divorce, but I suspect you don't understand the root cause.  What easy divorce did was cause people to be far less cautious in getting *in* to a marriage, since it became far easier to get out of one.  In the past when divorce was difficult, reasonable people gave a great deal of thought to their potential mate before saying "I do".  Of course, there's nothing preventing people from being that selective today, aside from a general lack of maturity which is no longer much valued as a trait in our culture.

I find this wery interdast.

At work there are many young men that have been saying this stuff for years now.
They WANT children/family but absolutely no farking way will they marry. Not even let women live in their home.
They all know they'll get ruined in a divorce.

Well, a reasonable man might say to himself ... "better make sure that I marry an emotionally mature woman that shares my values" rather than "I'm taking my ball and going home".

The former is a grown up response to the situation, the latter is not.

My 10 year marriage was great for the first 8 years. Then after starting a new job she decided to try to relive her glory years again by going out with her new coworkers 4-5 nights per week and shutting down the bars. It lead to regular fights at home as you can imagine and eventually graduated to full blown alcoholism and adultery which is where I pulled the eject lever. Then I got to learn about how wonderful our family courts are. Point is I never saw it coming and neither would you unless you have a real live crystal ball.

If the institution of marriage is to be saved then marital misconduct needs to decide the outcome of divorce settlements. Otherwise it's a terrible proposition for a man to enter into. Not that women can't be victims of the terrible system as well but that's rarely how it works out.

Just think if you had married a woman that was never a party girl in the first place 

Choose wisely. Not directed at you but choose wisely or as someone said earlier be selective.

the pendulum swings back and forth

you start punishing men for being men, some of them are going to lick your hand like a dog and some are going to give you the finger and going to refuse to participate.

it doesn't surprise me at all that some men are walking away from the whole mess

in france, it's ILLEGAL to get a paternity test

if some woman says that it's your kid, then that's that, you are on the hook

If I lived in that society, I would take a walk too

So you advocate men getting screwed over by women for the good of the country?

How nice of you.

Most of the people I encounter are divorced,  some are remarried. Most of the married folks are miserable. Marriage just doesn't seem like I viable plan.

Women are confused today.  They are made fun of by other women if they don't work and achieve status in sociaty.  Then they are condemned for working too much and not staying home raising kids.  Women in general are emotional roller coasters and their husbands are forced to tolerate this nonsense. With absolutely no benifit to himself.  Marriage is an obsolete ideal for fools.

The problem, IMO, is that MGTOW seems to focus on the individual, the female.

Now, this is awesome alinsky moves, but hardly the issue most seem to have.

Why not instead focus on the court system, the laws, the actual shit that matters?


Some skank that tricked someone into marrying her isn't the problem, it's the system that allows her to fuck over the guy x2.

Oh as for the good old days my grandparents on my mothers side hated each other. They stayed married for over 40 years till death did them part but for most of my childhood they owned a duplex and each lived in their own half. Grandma was kind of pushed into the marriage by her family which is also how it was often done "back in the day". That's not anything I'll romanticize.
