Current Events > 70% of Men Aged 20-34 Are Not Married

(+) Yeah! (+)

Didn't read topic at all but my response is: no fat chicks

I agree, no fat chicks indeed.
---

I wonder what the numbers are for women in that age range. Marriage is a two way street.
---

Gee. And I wonder who's fault this is.

So CE, why are you still an unmarried man-child?

Do you really want me to answer this question?

And I'm just like....really? Especially for Mike Golic who prides himself on being a manly man but bows down ever so submissively to his wife? If this is what I generally have to look forward to in a marriage then I have no problem passing.

Yes, a lot of what you said is true for many couples. My friends are like that, and I feel sorry for them. But this is why it's important for you, as an example, to really get to know the woman you might consider staying with. I'm with a woman who does not boss me around at all and I have never felt that I had to be subservient, but we had that understanding from the very start. There are a lot of good women out there, so I don't doubt that you can find the right one.

This is certainly true. I never got a bossy entitled feeling whatsoever from my most recent girlfriend and she really doesn't seem like the type to be honest. Sweetest girl I've ever known. However, I would say that I've gotten that feeling from most other women that I've dated.

Okay. Let's see. The reason I'm an unmarried man child is because woman are stuck up, shallow and superficial. The average man is not good enough for them. And don't get me started on the fact that it was scientifically proven that they cheat more than men do. I would be more than happy to get married and have a family. But I'm not good enough for their ridiculous standards.

A little while ago to there was a topic on here about a woman who married herself! She had a wedding for herself and everything. Her reason was that she was tired of waiting on a man. In actuality, the reason is because no man was good enough for her spoiled ass. She wasn't ugly. I refuse to believe that not one man gave her any offers throughout her whole life. If she would lower her standards and and actually be faithful (like every other woman should) maybe she'd find a husband.

Happily married to beautiful Korean woman > you betas

TBH... in 2017 it seems a lot of females out there aren't worth the ring, so gl with that.
I also see a lot of strange divorces. Some are opened and closed, like men getting a younger hotter woman while they were married. While some men just get tired of the nagging.

I really should write a book about women and the ones to avoid at all costs.

On the flip side, men really are pigs. They do some really messed up shit to women that makes me think... oh she's never gonna trust men again.

About sex... it's a toss up. I got plenty of it when I was single, but I'm not proud of a couple choices I made. While married, I get it in binge spurts. Even when you're married, bring your A game most of the time. You'll get more, and also carry more pride.

the thing about marriage is that if you want kids, you kind of have to do it younger because otherwise you risk a lot of bad shit like birth defects, pregnancy complications, etc.

ive read that from mid 30s and up your increased risk for those things greatly increases, and from 40 and beyond it's even worse, so you kind of have to make moves.

from my perspective a lot of people dont get married because either they feel they are too busy chasing their own goals (financial, social, etc) to make the compromises required in marriage, they live a transient lifestyle, or they are still very dependent on their parents financially.

personally i get a lot of it, but for me having a marriage and family are big goals, and honestly i find a lot of the other goals people have to be relatively silly in comparison
---

That percentage is really high, makes me have hope for a lot of people out there who either realize marriage is a ridiculous or hugely responsible relationship, or people who shouldn't breed in the first place are unable to. I'm happy either way.

...wouldn't that mean more or less the reverse true?

I would get married, but having a family has never been even close to a goal. It would be difficult for me to be in a relationship with a woman who wanted kids because I'm naturally distrusting and there would always be paranoia that she might pull some stunt or another.

Not transient, not chasing goals, not dependant on parents. Just generally dismissive, guarded, distrusting and full of general and mostly universal apathy.
