I'm not going to recommend marriage in this current climate to anyone either.
However, the divorce rate has been around 50% for quite a long time.
Even if you think that figure should be higher, it still shows that a successful marriage is not impossible.
Also, there has to be a certain percentage of those divorces where the failure of the marriage is at least partly the male's fault. There are a number of guys on this forum who have stated that if they ever get married, they still intend to screw other women on the side.
But yeah, I agree most women in the US are not fit for marriage. Too spoiled on male attention, their body parts too glorified.
Yea but what about the stats which represent broken families that havn't signed the papers yet so that the kids don't get screwed over ??
I've grown up in New Zealand and Australia and our culture (well the last 20 years or so since I have been in these two countries) is driven by what people see on TV, specifically MTV and its spinoffs.
And I'll tell you right now that majority of my generation is very messed up, they are all kids where mummy and daddy have given them everything yet they want more, they have grown up without having to lift a finger and expect their partners do be a sort of substitute for mummy and daddy.
My younger cousins are between 20 and 25 and they can't change a car tyre or service their cars nor make their own beds or decide what clothes to buy. Its always been mummy or daddy that has decided it for them or fixed their problems.
This generation thinks getting a post grad dip in whatever field of study will guarantee them a awesome job with high pay, yet most couldn't even type up a solid cover letter nor give a solid interview nor have any people skills what so ever.
Yet stick them infront of the PC and Tele and they are gods of all there is to know. All they do is bit(h and can't get off their lazy a$$es and sort out their own problems.
Whats worse is I'm meant to find a wife from this lot ??? I firmly beleive this generation is doomed. This post has gone of on a tangent but you get the idea behind it, why would I want to settle (key word settle) with a woman who I know is not fit for my needs ot wants, thats why I've stayed away from getting in a serious relationship for so long.
I have my own problems (torn lower back got fat had to move back in with the folks due to no job) but I fixed nearly all those problems except my own place which I'll sort out by end of this year. But too many women have problems and they expect their significant other to sort it out for them. No thanks I will not waste my money and time to fix a problem you caused, nor will I sacrifice my own life so you can have a easy life just they way your mummy and daddy gave you.
If this means I'll be single forever then so be it
