What is your opinion of men's reluctance to marry?
Manchildren who don't want to grow,or logical people reacting to incentives?
There is not a single benefit for a man to marry.
Women will only marry you to rip you off, society is dead, so whatever.
Modern women are garbage.
I think we're all scared to death of it because we only have to look at our parents marriages to see that the benefits don't outweigh the disadvantages.
>>42359640
>men's reluctance to marry?
They don't want to settle for the scraps. Women's rights and sanctification of the (actually despicable) female nature gave rise to an environment in which they can live according to their biological polygamous needs, the top X% of men get all the good women (and won't marry one when they can have all), while the (100-X)% of men who are left with nothing have virtually no possibility to marry.
And if one decides he wants to be with a woman ... why marry? It gives women leverage to completely ruin your life. I personally know a couple of guys who married and were robbed of their children and half their possessions. Even if the sluts find a new man that can provide for them, these men still have to pay alimony to them. Their children grow up to hate their fathers, and being left without a proper father figure, they turn into wimps or manchildren as you call them, who are neither ready nor willing to marry.
The fact there's not a single benefit to it for men seems like a pretty big deal.
Those numbers are huge too, I wouldn't have expected that high going into their mid 30's.

Feminists destroyed the family unit and marriage. There is NO benefit for males to get married anymore. Its a giant liability and all the benefits go to the female thanks to the parasitism of state.

that's what I thought till they got divorced completely out of nowhere this year after almost 30 years. statistically one of you will have your parents get divorced
No benefits to a man marrying a woman, he has the most to lose when the divorce happens since all the laws heavily favor the wife
>>42359905
>actually reading that article
Holy shit.
These people try to shame men into believing its their responsibility to marry a girl and never bother to actually analyze why a man might think that's a bad decision.
All these people pushing this are more retarded than millions of men who recognize the poor decision current marriage is. These people would never survive without a government teat to suckle off of.

Marriage is the stupidest thing a man can do in western countries.
Western women are usually garbage. Have fun paying alimony for the rest of your life when she decides she wants to be Jamal's baby momma.
this is why
>>42359640
The old marriage was basically dependency system, where men needed women to have kids for their retirement and/or continue family business (usually a farm). Women needed men for financial stability and their personal needs and the retirement kids provided.
Now that modern society provides retirement systems and growing up kids are such a financial burden that it's not worth it, there's no incentive to marry.
Marriage used to be about women and men having both needs to fulfill and it was convenient to marry, but it was always about commitment to something greater and solving differences. Now that women are liberated financially, they no longer need men.
Which brings us to that that women have always depended on men to provide in the past, which is the reason women vote more liberal, more green, more leftist and more green - they've never had to deal with logical fallacies in their beliefs and actually solve problems. Also women have historically been the more social sex, which makes them extremely powerful in grouping up behind one belief in today's world; feminism.
I want off this ride.
One hint that a woman is not worth marrying is if she wants to keep her maiden name or use that hypen nonsense. It shows she is not committed

Also of note, the very last paragraph.
>“Feminism was supposed to bring women happiness,” Crouse said. “But the research shows that women today are much more unhappy then they have been in the past. They’ve ended up with far more opportunities, but their personal happiness is way down.”

70% of men aged 20-34 are smarter that you think...
why do people want to get married anyway?
what is gained?
>In our part of the world, where monogamy is in force, to marry means to halve one’s rights and to double one’s duties. When the laws granted woman the same rights as man, they should also have given her a masculine power of reason.
>>42359640
>Manchildren who don't want to grow,or logical people reacting to incentives?
Why can't it be both?
>>42359640
>What is your opinion of men's reluctance to marry?
probably what is causing the feminists to bitch harder. They keep saying men are somehow the problem, when their real problem is that they are not getting any relationships, which in turn makes even more men run from them
As you've put it, there is zero incentive to get married. You get nothing from it that you couldn't get without marriage, and you only lose money if you do marry

Financial stability, better children, it's easier to gain and grow wealth and companionship. The problem is the risk of divorce and the lack of respect for men who sacrifice to keep their family in good financial shape.

>>42360292
Basically they're realizing that they made a bad trade. In the "traditional" family unit and social dynamics, women held a similar status as children: little autonomy but rarely did they have to worry about doing anything but caring for children and an hour or two of household chores per day. Men in their lives met their material needs for them. Then they joined the workforce and doubled the labor supply (halving wages) which not only made them incapable of fulfilling their household role, it made men incapable of being providers as well since wages have fallen so far. Universal suffrage turned out to be little more than universal wage slavery in the end.
I'd be butthurt too if my destiny to be a lazy NEET was snatched away from me by a bunch of self-righteous cunts.
Feminism also seeks to reduce the association between the sexes to only a sexual relation with as little interdependence as possible. They should really stop being surprised that such a system dramatically favors the gender that doesn't have a reproductive shelf life. How are women going to keep Chad around long term without a societal pressure to force him to care for them or a baby-shaped anchor to at least hold him in place until the kid's grown?

It's delusional because there is no evidence, nor is there any reason to believe humanity will ever reach a "post-scarcity" society.
It's simply a utopian socialist's wet dream.
My bro put the boat anchor around his neck recently; spent his life pining over some high school friend that is a 4/10 at best with serious genetic defects who basically ignored him until she turned 30. Suddenly it's all "i loved you all along even though I totally treated you like a stranger in college, I was a /pol/ worthy wife all along". Now they go on appointments every other day to every kind of practitioner imaginable to stop her failing body and genetics from catching up to her.
She will probably divorce him in a few years after he climbs into upper management and our courts will throw her a parade.

if 70% of the men aged 20-34 are not married then presumably about 70% of the women in that age range are also unmarried

You guys should read up on Gavin McInnes
>In October 2013, McInnes was interviewed by The Huffington Post on a panel about the meaning of masculinity, and said "people would be happier if women would stop pretending to be men", and that feminism "has made women less happy".[19] He explained that "Women are feigning that toughness. We’ve trivialized childbirth and being domestic so much that women are forced to pretend to be men. They’re feigning this toughness, they’re miserable."[20] A heated argument followed when University of Miami law professor Mary Anne Franks responded, and McInnes in his reply loudly called her a "fucking idiot"
>>42359640
Women don't want to get married until they're old and unattractive now.

>>42362215
I think the question is framed appropriately. traditionally, it's the men who proposes to the women. If the men do not want to get married, no marriage happens, even if the woman wants to. The best she can do is nag at him for years.
>>42359640
>manchildren who don't want to grow up.
It cracks me up that when a woman doesn't marry, she's expressing her feeling of empowerment, but when a man does it, he's a 'manchild'.
In my opinion, the answer is simple... men would be nuts entering into a relationship where they have all the responsibility but none of the advantages.
The social compact of marriage has been destroyed in the last 20 years. Better to stay clear for a while.

Exactly. Mexicans breed like rabbits and that's why the government wants to open up the flood gates. Instead of fixing the country and making it possible to earn a living wage again they would rather let in a 100 million more fucking illegals to make up for the deficit of tax slaves.
>>42362561
The increase in productivity has a lot to do with mechanization and people don't get paid for the work done by robots.
>>42359640
Well uh yeah, modern marriage is kinda pointless.
Let's see, what was the point of marriage for the majority of human history? For the man to move in and take control of the womans family's assets and combine them with his family's to strengthen both family's social and economic standing and then the produce an heir so that that property and money can remain with that family.
And in the case of lower class people to expand/diversify farming lands and produce inexpensive labor to work those lands aka children.
>>42359640
It's because the nature of the media has done so well to introduce a stalling mechanism, so as to install a consumer culture that is very obedient.
Basically, the only conceivable way to control a society is to get in the way of the concept of True Love. It is not so strong, for the numbers projected were a higher percentage.
It's way to much of a financial risk.
Also what if I don't want to get married right now? What if I just want to enjoy my life?
Also, older women are a lot more enjoyable. They're experienced, patient, understand that they aren't the world, appreciate the attention and can be mature. They're not going out to fuck every guy because they know they can't and understand their limits. They're also more likely to understand that children are a liability or that bearing children are hard. Adaption by an old couple isn't a bad thing and can be good for the parents and the child.
Personally, I'm going to wait until I'm in my 50's to look. Because than women may not be the prettiest thing in the world, but they're more worth my time conversationally wise.
Benjamin Franklin put it perfectly in his Advice to a Young Man on How to choose a Mistress.
http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/bdorsey1/41docs/51-fra.html
Also to younger men, choosing a older women can mean the world to her, because she appreciates the attention.

Mate, the more I interact with women, the more the stereotypes seem to be true.
It depresses me to no end. I expected the majority of women to be decent, instead the majority of women I've interacted with are awful, and somehow each woman sees other women behaving like this but thinks she's different and special and doesn't.
And then you catch her in a lie, and there's no end to the rationalization and justification she'll go to make sure it's everyone else's fault but hers for lying.
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of this culture that tells women it's okay to 'always be right' because they're the woman. I hate this culture that tells them they can act like children with no responsibilities while simultaneously giving them jobs and roles that require responsibility - and then at the same moment, punish men when they try to take on those extra responsibilities for the women anyways.
It's like society itself turned into an abusive nagging woman who has no respect for her spouse, and the men of the western world are taking it like betacucks instead of telling the women to sit down and shut up.

Feminism built this horrible model where men have zero rights. And now they're wondering why no men are participating. They even have the gall to say "perpetual adolescence."
There's just too much risk, men have zero rights, and there's this culture assuming that men are supposed to accept this.
Summed up: There is no incentive to marry.
>>42362626
Ahh, no. People DO get paid, but they're just not the working class. The capitalists get paid.
And as automation continues, the capitalists accrue a greater and greater share of wealth as the increases in efficiency means less goes to the workers. Until, at some point, nothing goes to the workers. This is the capitalist dream: Control of all the wealth.
Ask questions like, "What are you going to DO with all that wealth?" and you'll get blank stares from the capitalist.
They don't DO anything with it. They just accrue it like points in a skinnerbox videogame.

Well yes. But the people running our financial engines don't really seem to care or worry about that. I guess it's an uncomfortable truth that the economy doesn't actually exist just to enrich a small select portion of it at the cost of everyone else.
There are people who don't think it's possible for a small portion of the population to even control all the wealth, but I think that's pretty easy to refute nowadays when you can show that 40-60% of all the wealth in the world is owned by a few thousand individuals.
The end effective result of siphoning all the money away from the working class and into the pockets of the capitalists, is that the money becomes intrinsically worthless over time. What usually occurs at this point is a 'monetary reset' with the workers using a new currency (Whether the capitalists want them to or not) and the capitalists losing mostly everything. Basically, unbridled capitalism is self-destructive. Our government, our corporations, and our people shouldn't be focused on making money. They should be focused on things that matter: Happiness, self-fulfillment, autonomy, sustainability and so forth.
Our society is infected with greed and it'll be its downfall. I wish one of these days a human society could be infected with a virtue instead of a mortal sin.

My Mom slept around on my Dad. They got divorced and I grew up only seeing him once every 3 weeks for a weekend.
My Brother's wife. Living in a house he personally bought with his own business. Became bored after a few years since she married at 20. She divorced him despite him pleading for her to make it work. Offering to go to counselling. She divorced him, took custody of their 8 month old child, demanded the house because the baby needed a place to stay, and that he pay over $4,000 a month on top of the mortgage. After all that she still makes it hell to actually see his own son. 3 days every 2 weeks and she sets the hours. Mostly when she knows he is most active at the business.
Best friend was married for 4 years with a wife and 3 kids. Again a start up man with his own business and a "stay at home mom". She divorced him after refusing to have sex with him for almost 2 years and generally making his life miserable at every turn. Still has to pay out the ass because she got the kids and like always, they rarely get to see their father without him taking it up the ass one way or another.
Yeah fuck married. It is willingly giving a woman your cock and balls and saying "I am really hoping you don't cut off my cock and take my money and deny me access to my own children that the courts will give to you in almost every single separation."

Competition with China ruined a lot of native industry in Brazil too. My father was laid off in the 90s after 20 years of work for a (ironically american owned) company making plastics because it was suddenly much cheaper to buy them from China. It was a blue collar job, but somehow we lived as a lower middle class family out of his earnings.
Now I get shitty web-designer jobs (and here competition with Indians working from sites like fiverr is sinking the prices we can charge) or telemarketing (boy I'm glad Indians don't speak Portuguese) and need to share housing with two friends to make ends meet.

>The modern man places high value on his personal happiness.
Not even that. Rational people simply will not act against their own interests, and the modern institution of marriage is biased tremendously against the long-term interests of the male. What we're seeing here is a perfectly rational and predictable response.

Afrika?
Maybe the took the Madagaskar-Plan too serious?
Blame women's suffrage and the fact nobody smacks a ho anymore
Giving tall children the keys to society was its downfall
