Why Young Men are Giving Up on Marriage

I also have a couple of offers, but there ain't no fuckin way. I like myself too much to sell my soul to the devil again just for a piece of tail!

There is more than a little truth to the statement : Sex is what a woman will do to get marriage;
Marriage is what a man will do to get sex.

Article in the OP is old news from several months ago and the Fox News lady's "war on men" editorial was roundly criticized and laughed at.

Marriage not a top priority for young men??? You don't say! Also in breaking news: scientists confirm that water is wet and the earth is round.
I'm surprised the number of young.men interested in marriage is even high enough to be measurable.

I was thinking of going shopping in the Philippines. Several guys where I work are married to Philippinas, they all seem happy. I almost have to import because I am living in the sleaziest, most jaded shithole in North America [Las Vegas). Every woman I meet here is a gambling addict, drug addict, drunk, prostitute, married and cheating, wanted felon, etc. And those are just the ones I meet at Church social events! :lol:

No company is preferable to bad company

My fate with the females is already cast but I didn't want to be seen as some kind of idiot "men's rights" nutter who blames women for everything. For every bad woman there's probably a dozen bad men, and for the most part men have kind of dug their own graves with their own bad behaviour when they get fleeced in a divorce settlement. Are there the vindictive leech moms in existence? Sure, but there's a lot of males out there who are no better than parasites themselves too, who latch onto a woman and wreck her life by not living up to their duties and obligations under the partnership agreement. My sister's ex does nothing but give her support cheques that bounce at least once or twice a year, if he even gives them to her at all. So these guys are out there and they're a lot more common than most folks, especially we males when we get into a momentary blizzard of "the bitches are out to get us!" sort of whining, want to believe.

And the behaviour of the younger males is fairly awful too. Given their proclivity towards violence and sexual assault I'm kind of genuinely hoping that my niece comes out as a lesbian just so we can avoid the parade of boyfriends who, to be charitable, are nothing more than shitheads. I really don't need to hear it one day with a phone call that tells me she got gang-raped after being roofied at a party or gets the shit kicked out of her by some bastard that has control "issues". She's getting to the age soon where this stuff will start to matter and the rest of us are kind of scared about what might happen if she gets to close to some monster who's parents did the crappiest job possible in raising.

The hard part with today is that we have this mentality that there is always something better, and we are always entitles to everything that will make us happy. Problem is no one is settling down. The internet doesn't help either because all that does is make bored guys/girls search for something they think is missing.

Now imagine what it is like to be gay in todays world. Sure, there are more out people and you are more accepted as an individual...but shit, it's hard to even get eye contact by most guys. Typically guys in the gay scene are 6's, who think they are 10's, looking for 12's. Try to strike up a conversation, you get the gross look, then nothing...of course 10 mins later they are on Facebook saying "OMG, why aren't there any good guys out there, im sick of being alone...blah". Not saying I'm hot shit or anything...but no matter who will go up to them they will never be happy.

Today a lot of people have it in the back of their heads that whatever relationship they are in will not work out. No one can be trusted anymore, and it's better the have nothing then to not get burned. This is all what really kind of gets me down. I left the whole small town WI to come out, better myself, get away from all that shit, and try to be happier. Now that I have gotten here, and I am getting older, I am starting to miss that small town life and the genuine friendships that I have made. Not saying that people who live in cities can't be genuine friends, but there is a difference between the two types of personalities.

When I go back home and talk to my friends who were already married at 19/20, and most likely have kids, they all seem to be content with life. Sure they are broke, have a dead end job, don't travel, don't have luxuries, but they are content....not super happy, but just cool with life...definitely happier then most people here in the metropolitan.

I don't want to come off weird, but I feel like when the women is less empowered the relationship works better. When going through hundreds of years of history, the man was always the provider of the family. The women had a need for the man, so if any argument were to come up, they would work it out usually...just because they had no other choice. Going back to the gay world, there are guys that fit the more dominant role and ones who fit the more submissive role. Problem is, guys don't like to admit to having the traits of the more submissive type. Therefore most relationships do not last all that long, it's kind of like just a sex fling.

I didn't mean it really in that extreme of a way. I'm was referring to more of how since women are in the workforce now, there are options out there were if they are unhappy they can pursue, same with men. Obviously what you described would be the exception for a relationship not working out.

IDK, I'm bad at explaining these kinds of things.

Trying to sum it up....there is no settling down anymore. It's search for the next best thing, not be content with what you already have. Dating sites with married people are common now days. The amount of people looking just kind of kills the who "commitment" part of a relationship.
