    Marriage was about passing ownership of the female, who can't think for herself, from father to future husband. Just because secular law removed ownership - doesn't mean their biological inability to think for themselves isn't still present. Why on earth men would want to marry a creature that's supposed to get her thoughts from you - but instead gets her thoughts from corporate programming - to which said forces you now have to argue with until the end of time, I have no clue. It's like having pets in your house that the law states you now have to let do whatever they want. Idiotic. You can't use logic with a creature that doesn't grasp logic. You either own such a creature - or you have it no where near you.

It's not easy finding a Conservative minded girl around Los Angeles. I just stay single, I figure if it happens great, if not whatever. Being single is way better than being married to someone you're not happy with. If the other person doesn't enhance your life, it's not worth it.

    I say this as an old man who was proudly and lovingly married to my wonderful wife until she died. No. Regardless of what JBP says, the real answer for men in the west is "absolutely not." If you want to know why, look at the numbers. The majority of marriages end in divorce, usually within a few years (7-15). 80%+ of divorces are initiated by women. 90%+ of custody goes tl the mother, even when she is clearly neglectful/abusive towards the child(ren). 95%+ of alimony isbstolen from men by the State & given to women. False accusations are used against men in "family" court as a matter of course. Leslie Levy showed us that when she hired a videographer to record her CLE class where she taught "family" court attorneys how to do just that, and then uploaded it to the official Williamson County website. If that isn't enough, then go watch Michael Long tell his story on Rekieta Law's channel. Go look up the multiple tales of fathers being stripped of their children because they don't want their children to undergo harmful medical procedures like puberty blockers & genital mutilation. Look at the stories of fathers being denied even partial custody or mere "visitation" with their own children because the father is allergic or otherwise medically unable to take the WuFlu injections. Look at the numbers of homeless men who were forced out of their own homes by the women they married & the State that those women used to destroy those men's lives. There is no longer any real benefit to marriage for men. Marriage is all risk, and no reward for a man. He no longer marries his wife, but he now marries the combination of her & her real husband Big Daddy Government, and any time she has a bad day she can send the armed enforcers of Big Daddy Government to kidnap/kill him. You can say "not all women are like that," but society, the law, and the courts ensure that all women *can* be like that at any time, and they will be *rewarded* for it.

    You might have a point if it weren't for the fact that only 4% of custody cases are handled in court. That 90% figure is because of out-of-wedlock births and couples deciding on the arrangement themselves after divorce. Only a quarter of women actually receive any kind of child support. Only rich people deal with alimony which is like 1% of cases. Men simply abandon their families more and refuse to financially support their kids.

    @@DaveM86 even in those 4% of cases, custody is awarded to fathers as often as it is to mothers. As for child support, those are the figures. Look it up. There's a multitude of ways to avoid child support. Many women don't even bother to file for it or just leave the father off the birth certificate. I don't support child support. It doesn't work and just spreads poverty. Men can't pay child support with money they don't have especially if they're supporting children with other mothers. One guy in Tennessee filed for relief from paying it because he 30 kids by 11 mothers. They were getting like a dollar a kid. Mothers should get a basic income. It's ridiculous we don't pay them to raise their own kids but we'll pay teachers, day care workers and foster parents to parent other people's kids. Men are already paying taxes. Why should they pay child support on top of that?

    For me it’s more of an issue of foresight. You can get to know a persons character and see a high risk of divorce. It’s a small minority of people that have the back bone to stay married during the worst times. Till death do us part. And an even smaller minority who have Christian beliefs and want their marriage Christ centered. They act like these marriages are easy to come by in this day and age. Why do they leave those things out? Otherwise they are just blabbing basic morals that everyone already knows. Telling people to get married is one thing, then helping people become marriage material is another.

    I've been with my wife for 16 years and the most meaningful way to describe how our marriage works is both of us act symbiotically to one another. Always questioning and politely challenging if someone is 'out of bounds' on a subject etc. We then shift accordingly to what feels justifiable as correct for us. Of course there are disagreements but in the end the amount of our lives we've invested in one another is unbreakable. That's just us but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love her so much just as she tells me so every day. So in the end my advice to people wanting to get hitched is to always remain open, being ready and willing to merge both of your ideals into one that becomes shared, while still retaining your own individuality. I digress. Much Peace!

    I got divorced - then didn't date for five years - then was in a relationship for about 7 months - then it hit me like a ton of bricks: I'm not happy in relationships. To clarify, I'm not out prowling around looking to hook up. I just don't want intimacy with another person in that way anymore. My last relationship ended 12 years ago and I have been at peace ever since. To be perfectly honest, when I look at most of the marriages of people I know, I see a lot of unhappy people. I see people sleepwalking through the habit of marriage. If it works for you and it makes you happy, more power to you. I'm just giving another perspective. It is possible to live unmarried - and not in a relationship - and have a fulfilling life.

    @@trequor I get this kind of pushback on this all the time. I can't tell you how many times I have heard people incredulously ask "You're going to die alone?" or "You don't want a partner?" It's funny how this reveals their unwillingness to consider the idea of being responsible for themselves. And as far as your kids taking care of me - my kids will do just fine in that role. They are grown and responsible - and they see me taking care of my parents - and understand this to be a part of life. Family cares for one another. Your "virtually impossible" assessment is strange to me. If I had just broken up and said "Here's my plan: I'm never coupling again." I could see how you might react in that way. But I said I have been single for 12 years and I am completely at peace - and you couldn't begin to fathom it. It's not like I did a triple backflip off a 10 story building and landed on my feet. I just made a decision not to take part in a social norm .....and that's it. The fact that you read "impossiblity" into that decision tells me how much you are reliant on another human for your survival. If that is acceptable to you, that's okay.

    You can build trust, but as many men will attest, they never saw the termination of their trusted relationship coming. You might allow that predictable failure as an approximation, is a 50/50 thing, and that would be very generous IMO. Relationship failure usually has (far) more severe socio-economic impact on males than females. That is the brutal reality of how things stand in our Western world today. There are many things you can consider to mitigate failure risk with selecting a partner. A caution here: men are usually lousy at this part, with women we tend (biologically) to judge a book by its cover.

    researchers consistently fail to address the magnitude of this issue. People ultimately need love and validation. When a man doesn't matter to a woman, when she doesn't gaze at him with a loving smile, tell him she wants him/needs him, that he matters to her. A lot of guys have never had that. This will cause disillusionment/isolation/soul sadness and mental health issues in men. No amount of material things, por* will be able to replace that. The problem in the west is 2 fold. Incels can't get a woman and the ones that do get one, end up in divorce/breaking up or being cheated on and losing more than the lady. So they swear off relationships and end up lonely all the same. (Mgtow) Both have the effect of creating lonely, angry, atomised ppl and broken society with plummeting birth rates. And can spell the end of that society. What are we seeing in the west now? Falling sperm counts, falling testosterone levels, births, marriage, and a rapidly ageing society, with catastrophic debt levels. White ppl used to have close family bonds but now they no longer keep ties with family and send old ppl to homes. Jobs for life are a thing of the past, from where they used to form friends. White ppl lost their matchmaking culture and used to marry form within their own tried and tested social circle. With all that now gone, internet dating and cold approaching/PUA random women that u know nothing about is the way. Which can be toxic.

There is literally nothing to gain as a man in marriage aside from "keeping her happy" or otherwise "proving" a commitment to the woman. A woman has great financial incentive to marry, divorce then alimony her way to fat stacks of cash and other assets, regardless of whether or not she had personally contributed or invested in said things. Marriage is incredibly unfair and it's pathetic men will willingly hand women a knife to financially neuter them when the fucking wind blows the wrong way down the line.

    Only marry if you are aware of the benefits and risks and then only if you have the courage to do so. It would also help to inform yourself of male and female psychology/biology, both yours and your partner's. The two close friends I have who were married I predicted their divorce around 1 year prior to it happening. They said I was exaggerating, including their psychological counselors by the way. I was not exaggerating, the signs were there. One of the main problems I see is that most people keep observing the world as entirely nurture and like a Disney movie. They all expect their partner to change or they blind themselves to their behavior, or overpromise and underdeliver. You know how difficult it is to change? Try acquiring a new habit or removing a bad one. Now realize that the other person you are with is almost certainly shares that challenge. Almost everything is a trade. Both mgtowers and feminists think the other side are a bunch of opportunists and therefore relationships aren't pure enough or worthy enough. That's because they are both in belief of a utopia where both sides don't understand they have to work on themselves to be desirable. The only 2 valid points mgtow have are the distorted divorce laws and the family court; however, their contention that "women cannot love" is beyond absurd. I've seen EXTREMELY loving women, EXTREMELY forgiving women, but some of these men expect that every woman should give them unconditional love, like their mothers, when they behave, look, and live in a dumpster fire. And yes, I am also familiar with some of the extraordinarily entitled women that exist nowadays, it's a shame. Don't forget that your favorite "mgtow commentators" are selective in what they show you by the way. For example that jaded, bald bearded guy. He released a video the other day saying that women on apps were selecting the top 1% of men and picked like 3 women who had over 20-30 lays in a year. First of all, it didn't show that they picked the TOP 1%, it showed that out of all the men offered to them they only selected 1-2% of them, that doesn't mean those men are the top 1-2% of the pool. In terms of promiscuous women, those women exist, but go look at the statistics, by and large most women do NOT go around getting laid willy-nilly. You can either believe that they are extremely selective or they will get laid with anyone. Choose. That's another problem, by the way. Men think women are like men and vice versa. That's why men think that because women have access to every man to get laid it ABSOLUTELY MEANS that they would behave like them if they were in that position and fornicated everything with a pulse. The only entities benefiting from mgtow and feminism are corporations. They keep them as separate individuals filling their voids with material goods. Feminists purchasing antidepresants, pets, cat food and trips to wash away the pain. Men spending it on suits, cars and travel. I know I was all over the place with this stuff, welcome to my TED talk. Laters.

With that being said, I want be a father and do not see my life complete without having children. So in my case, I chose not to get married and use surrogacy. If I can have twin boys with a surrogacy, I will be the happiest man in the world.

Further than that, I do like JP, but in this particular case, his opinion seems quite predictable. Get a job, marry, have children, die...same boring sh** my parents told me. They did it, my grandparents did it and both are miserable, so no, marriage can not be a general solution for everyone. So, whatever you choose to do, make sure you have the right intentions.

    Lmao but women are the ones that want out of marriage more because they are the ones that are most unhappy. Most don't even get child support or alimony in spite of what you like to circulate on your man club. Only 10% of divorces result in alimony payments. Her getting the house only even means something if she hadn't contributed at all to paying for it and if it's even paid for. If it's not paid for she then has to cover that on her own. Even if there is a child support ruling billions of dollars of back child support owed in this country shows she didn't usually even get regular payments. You men need to realize with women having their own incomes now men don't have much to offer her she can't do for herself. If you aren't willing to let her stay home and raise the kids then you've really not got anything to offer.

    Marriage at current is a risky and bad deal for men. The odds of a good and rewarding outcome are very low. There are more men that are happily divorced or single than that are happily married. Marriage can give a guy family, a great love affair and purpose. We all hope for that. But most likely he will get distroyed in family court. There is no way of knowing how a women will respond when she falls out of love or finds a new love. It's a gamble. Most women's commitment is only as deep as thier happiness. When they are no longer happy, they are no longer committed.

    50 percent of marriages don’t work, I think you can be adults and stay with one person with out signing a contract and if there’s problems in a relationship work through it if you actually care about the person… and don’t get me started on spending a ton of money on weddings and rings etc… but that’s just my opinion… all about your perspective

    I agree that the average couple needs to get married as the concept of commitment has been twisted and perverted. But my boyfriend and I just celebrated our 14th year together. I’ve only ever been with him, we met in high school. I don’t want the piece of paper, the government has no place in my relationship and the fact that there are so many state or federal benefits makes me very weary. We’ve committed to each other and stayed committed. I think if two people want to be together more than they want to go on some kind of wild goose chase for their narrow version of perfection then they will stay together. No piece of paper will solve that.

    This is my personal opinion, of course. I believe "other" co-habitating arrangements will be treated "as married", like "common law", in the future, since marriage rates, and in turn divorce rates, are falling. We gotta keep divorce lawyers in business, after all.

    By his own admission, this Negotiating Position is a fantasy that is fully stacked against men. JBP how do you negotiate when she has 50% of your assets and has 100% of her Box? Is there a societal incentive for her not to negotiate in good faith? Let's cut the BS please.

    Women finds hard time finding a mate after their break up while men tend to make more money as they age, still find young women to marry. Women pays hidden punishments while men pays visible punishments.

    Married for 21 years, 4 children........love my wife and enjoy my marriage but I would not do it again. The pressure of the family commitment is too much most days, when that person or your children get sick or face the hard hits of life it breaks you. I would suggest to stay single and not take this course of action. All said, if I did not have a spouse and family I would have pulled the trigger on myself a while ago.

    It sounds like you honor your duty of always being the rock of your family, but do you have anyone to talk to about the stress it causes you? I think you should open up to someone you trust about the emotional toll it takes in you. Your comment seems like a cry for help.

    Don't get married. I scan through the comments and they are the exceptions. The rule is that she will take at least half of your money along with the kids, 60 to 80% of the time . Build your skillset and wealth. If you want kids, get a surrogate.

    I don't think we should get rid of Alimony but Alimony after like 20 -30 years of marriage, if the wife quit career to raise the children and take care of the home she should be looked after, because who would hire someone who hasn't been working for 20 years. However, let's say you both got married in your 20s, found out it didn't work by your 30s then I don't think signing a piece of paper to someone should ruin you financially. That person is in their 30s they can take care of themselves. Also, my husband makes less money than me, so Id get wrecked if we got divorced (but I understand why the law is there).
