The "real" reason marriage is in decline - Fewer people are getting married because there’s a shortage of economically-stable single men, says study

[RickTheToad]

Yep, that's it.

Fewer people are getting married because there’s a shortage of economically stable single men, says study

A new study says American marriages are declining due to a short supply of economically-stable partners for unmarried women to marry.

Or maybe men have wised up that today’s women aren’t worth settling down with. I know I personally won’t buy a house and share an account with a woman that’s a former rider of the carousel.

 

[zekko]

Yeah, more like a shortage of economically stable chumps. In this day and age, why would a man with solid finances sign up to give it all away to a woman on her whim, once she decides all her hopes and dreams aren't being fulfilled (and you, of course are to blame)?

 

[Robert28]

The thing is though I’m noticing more and more women are friend zoning the well to do beta chumps and still going out with Chads. Beta still buys her stuff and pays some bills when she needs, she flirts with him a little bit to make him think it’s going somewhere and to keep trying harder. Then out with Chad she goes. I know women in their 30’s doing this! With all the info out there how the hell do men still get friend zoned and strung along and not see it for what it is? No need to marry beta bucks when he will pay your way without and commitment or sex!

I know of a few guys like this. The impression I get is that these guys are happy to have a pretty girl to go out with and spend some time with, and don't really mind spending a few bucks for the experience. I really don't know if they're getting any sex or not, but let's say no. I think that given their lack of options, this scenario is better for them than nothing.

By the way, the guys I know who do this actually take out several different girls like this, so it's not like they're just stuck on one. If girls are attracted to guys that are seen in the company of attractive women, you'd think this would be to their benefit, even if they are friendzoned. Or maybe the other women sense what's really going on.

Hell I can sense when a man and woman are out and he’s in the friend zone and I’m a man! I can show you all the signs that give it away. I think even men that do have other options STILL get stuck in this friend zone crap because they won’t step back and admit what’s going on. They could easily be out with a girl that is interested in them but the time and effort they’ve put into one woman that’s never going to pay off makes them stick around.

Marriage is in decline because it's a scam to legally rob men of half their assets and extort them through alimony payments..... Imagine having to pay child support but only being able to see your kids 2 weekends per month....

Most men can do a simple pros/cons comparison and see that marriage doesnt have much benefit for men....

Move to a country that doesn't fvck you up through the divorce courts.

It's because he thinks he has "game" when it's actually a game within the feminine frame.

Supplication is now called an art form of the highest order amongst men of the manosphere.

I am not moving to some 3rd world sh1thole just for a woman..... No woman is worth giving up my US citizenship...... I'm doing just fine occassionally banging strippers in the VIP......

There probably is an ego component to the whole thing. Such a guy might come on SoSuave and post "Hey, I was out with an HB9 last night". Just the fact that she goes out with him at all is probably validation on some level to them.

They could easily be out with a girl that is interested in them but the time and effort they’ve put into one woman that’s never going to pay off makes them stick around.

Like I said though, the guys I know that are like this actually take out multiple women, so it isn't like they put all their effort into one woman. They just get friendzoned by them all. I know one guy who moons over about three different women, but can't really get anywhere with any of them. I imagine if one of them really did give them some true affection, he would narrow his focus to her.

We need to get a list compiled.

Bali in Indonesia and Da Nang in Vietnam, would be my top choice.

Large expat community there.

Marriage is in decline for many reasons, but chiefly because the internet became easily accessible. Suddenly, guys like me were able to read divorce horror stories from men from all 50 states; I was reading them on sosuave 17 years ago. Posters on sosuave linked me to other websites where guys were saying the same thing.

I was born at the beginning of the millennial generation - the people that should be getting married now - and I've had multiple opportunities to get married over the past decade. Never felt up to it. I bet there are many guys from my generation with a similar outlook.

Plenty of guys I grew up with did get married, and some still are. Some are divorced, some are still married. Probably half and half. But that doesn't mean that the ones that are still together won't get divorced in the future.

Maybe it's cognitive dissonance, but I look at the benefits. My money is my own and I have plenty of it. I never spend it on frivolous bullsh1t. I do what I want, when I want. A woman would never allow any of those things in a marriage, or a LTR for the most part.

From my experience, women always want their fair share: of your money, of your time, of your emotional tranquility.

Those are three very important things that every man should think long and hard about before he concedes them.

You must be having daily orgasms just by being next to it, since you're obviously not using it daily.

I like having it next to me. It's the great equalizer.

A wise man reads horror stories in the news and thinks about how he would react in a similar situation. I don't ever want to be left helpless at the hands of evil men.

I read this story when I was a young buck. Made a decision then to never be vulnerable.

Marriage is also in decline because personal debt is increasing, while the cost of living is also increasing. Bad combination. Nobody has the money to pay for kids.

Unless, of course, you have no money, and in that case, have as many kids as your body can spit out. Tax payers will pay for it.

The moment you enter my ancestral dwelling you'll be surrounded by about 400 people, half of which is tattooed with curses, battle stories, protection spells, life stories and dozens of beheaded skulls thats on display, etc.

You're been constantly surrounded by a relatively peaceful environment hence ur fear.

I've been raised in an environment that embraces fear through bravery.

Let the fear go, when death comes it will come no matter what.
