Marriage is dead. The noble young man who supports meets the righteous young women fantasy is on fire. Reality is men are used as financial resources. Men are divorced and become financial slaves to the system and their former spouses. Men if smart want to avoid marriage and commitment. This is why we have a hook up society and men do not want children. Men should have the right like women to say no to parenthood. Women have the right to keep the baby and raise it on her own, or not.

Nope, happily married almost 12 years.



The main problem with marriage today is that is much harder than it used to be to find two people willing to work together for their marriage not just for themselves.




Another problem is that many men let their dicks choose who they marry.

In Asia there's a new tendency for men to go their own way - with thousands shunning marriage and kids for a life of independence and control, which no family court can destroy. The same thing is happening across America and Canada.

In fact, author Helen Smith PHD recently published a book entitled Men on Strike, where she notes that: 'America has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going on strike. They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates.'

Now, it's happening here in Britain.

This isn't because men are 'selfish' or commitment-phobic pigs (as women frequently like to suggest). Rather, it's because they're tired of being ousted from families, of being shafted by sexist divorce rulings and being denied the most basic paternal rights.

These guys know that any child they have with a woman would be her baby, not their baby. In 2013, a so-called era of equality, three million UK fathers are still denied access to their children - simply because their bitter ex partners can manipulate the law.

So where's the incentive? Quite frankly, men's reticence to enter fatherhood is justified. And long may it continue.


Once marriage became an easily ended proposition, and with men getting the very short end of the stick once the marriage is ended, there became no point for men to get involved.

ETA: I'm married, and happily so. But we know lots of people who see marriage as some kind of advanced form of dating where you get a party. I also know lots of guys who are perfectly happy just dating forever. They get women (and better, hotter, younger as they get older and have more money), they get laid when they want, and when it is time to move on they do so. No point in buying the cow when the milk is available and free.

Nope.  Went through divorce and I still believe in marriage.

And yes, there is at least one righteous and beautiful young woman out there, because I found her.

No. Divorced and would do it again. Got two beautiful kids out of it. Money comes and goes, no biggie.

Been married a little over 25 years.

I think the problem today is that young folks think love is some magical thing that comes and goes on a whim.

The truth is love is a choice and often a chore.

I'm in the no marriage camp. Cars, motorcycles, guns, and a glut of easy women make me happy.
