Are people finally waking up to the ramifications of marriage?

[King Shizzo]

I am 33 years old. I have had no desire to get married in my life. I am seeing a trend with many people around my age group (around 10 years) that I am noticing a trend.

Marriage is dying a slow death.

A document "binding" people together means absolutely nothing these days.

Marriage is more convenience and "friend pussy" then anything.

Kids obviously provide some glue, but even then, douchebags are gonna douchebag.

Marriage is a conversation point. A sham.

whens the last time you had sex

[Man of Steel]

I love being married and love being a dad to my daughter.

Nothing better than being with and taking care of my girls.

If some consider that corny, miserable or both I honestly could care less.

[anabolichalo]

baby mama was angry i didnt want to marriage her

i told her if we are going to marriage then it has to be in a way that you cant get my property etc after divorce

she was always angry for this

and in the end it was a big factor in the breakup i think



marriage has not a good distribution of risks and responsibilities between both parties, there fore i do not consider it

[gracie bjj]

[Dr Kincaid]

There is some report out correlating  IQ levels with marriage.
Not saying you would have to be retarded to get married or anything.

Washing
Ironing
Fucking
Entertainment.

I should correct myself. Shitzo's not an anal virgin... Only with women he is one. 

[WOOO]

i'm married and would not trade this life for anything...

The trend is obviously here, we'll see how it goes. Can say the same about me, even tho' I'm a lil' bit younger. If you have a good job you like, good money and decent genes - I can't see any sane reason to "get tied up" before age 40 (except when a person feels a "need" for a family from a young age, and there are such people, more power to them) if at all.
 The best is - we don't have to worry about being left "alone" anymore, whatever age you are. Technology, globalisation and other stuff, if a person is left alone - there's probably a lot wrong with that person going on, otherwise - unlimited possibilities to meet other peope (who may be "alone" too :O). Just earn lots of money, the more, the better, it will enable you to live a lot healthier life as the time will go on, so it will be a nice life. Damn, it's very interesting to witness the dynamics of change in society. Many people (these who are "older", in the head, mainly) oppose to any changes, it's natural, but life was changing, it is changing and it will change in the future in so many ways - most of us can't even comprehend. Changing tides in a marriage institution is just a fraction of what's to come.

Let's face it, you are hardly 'a catch', sunshine.

So resigning to your fate is a good move.

That involved another human?

Look at him, he'd need a helluva personality to get laid looking like that.

[anabolichalo]

[calfzilla]

He just tells chicks he has over 20,000 posts on getbig and the panties drop.

[gym**rat]

I love being married. Love my wife, she loves me. I have a beautiful healthy daughter that have given us a beautiful healthy granddaughter. I have someone I can confide in, trust and love. I traveled for work the last 2 weeks and she put I love you cards in my suitcase both weeks and I sent her roses to her work.

Yea it is real terrible.  I know for some it is but you haven't had a girlfriend since.......oh wait, nevermind. Don't condemn something you know absolutely nothing about. You may consider it an opinion but in reality it just shows ignorance.

Marriage has never changed, the people have changed. It started with the baby boomers and high divorce rates. Today, many people refer to their signif others as "fiancé. The reasoning is that marriage has been so downgraded that people don't take it seriously.
Many women think of marriage as something to do---it's the wedding, and who they marry, well it doesn't matter, because there is always divorce. With men, men don't really give a damn, until they get the divorce papers.
In short, people today are more selfish, and don't care about the marriage itself or the people that they marry or the children that they create.
Uberman was right when he said that marriage is a survival technique.

Furthermore, these threads on marriage come up a lot on here, like people are subconsciously paranoid.
I think that you do secretly want to get married or settle down with someone, it's that you ask yourself "who wants to marry me?" And you reject the thought, because you don't want to deal with the rejection of the women. So, you reject them and "marriage" before people have a chance to do that to you.

Or maybe....the ways of survival are simply changing. You know.. it happened many times in many fields of life in the past.

As I said, the baby boomers. They are the ones where sky high divorce rates and single parenting. So, the children of these unions only really know what they see. And then society doesn't really hold marriage in high regard---the mantra of "do what you want" is championed, again by baby boomers. Women don't "need" men for financial support, and sometimes are earning more than the spouses, and men have become apathetic, and browbeaten. Many either don't care about the marriage, and if they do, they are with a partner who doesn't give a damn about them or the children. The children are used as pawns, when the divorce comes along. And the same woman who doesn't "need" the man, gets his money. So, men are becoming wary and are adapting. Now, since the woman doesn't care or need the man, men say that they don't need or care for the women. So, if the woman doesn't care, and the man doesn't, then who does?
What you are seeing is the not just the breakdown of marriage in part by Baby Boomers leading by their selfish example, but the breakdown of the family itself.

Simply put - the more autonomous people become - the less is the need to "live together". Family was best for times in the past (and western societies that were in the past), it's time for something different now, the life is changing at it's core, the ways of living, survining I mean. It's just a usual evolution in action, trying different options until a new best one is found.

This is funny AND brilliant at the same time (kids growing in communities would be an interesting way to rise them):

Oh, and wait till "Oculus rift" will evolve into a "Brain rift", lol.. We'll be able to witness quite some interesting ways to "live ones life".

[Purge_WTF]

It feels strange to be a Christian man who thinks of the decline of Western matrimony a good thing, but that's what I am.

I can't bring myself to congratulate Facebook friends when they announce an engagement. The deacon at my old church is proposing to his girlfriend this weekend. 

[_aj_]

A friend of mine is being taken to the cleaners in his divorce. He'll lose 7 digits and will be lucky to see his daughters once a month. The deck is very stacked against men as the primary earner.

I love my wife and I love my life, but I am lucky. I find it hard to encourage young men to get married these days. It is impossible to see the future, so you are really just hoping that you've found "the one".

Well crafted pre-nuptial agreements seems to be one answer, although they are clinical. My friend above has another friend that's been married 4 times. The last 3 with prenups. His current wife signed the prenup that says she was out, with nothing, if she got fat. Now THAT'S a prenup!

[Army of One]

This, in our lifetime it will be possible to stay in and bang prime Rachel Welsh, Pamela Anderson, Megan Fox, Jenna Jameson and Salma Hayek in a field of roses and unicorns and it feel totally real, being able to live there night and day.You don't think Marriage rates are going to plummet drastically when that happens?lol.

Unfortunately, humans are social beings, and if you look at today...the breakdown of families has help create rifts between one another, more people are lonely, and more mental health issues. More people kirking out, more women wanting to know "why can't they find a good man", when they never had a father figure in their lives. More men just creating kids and not taking care of them. The US is a nation spinning out of control.
As I said, if you don't care, and I don't care, then who does? No one.
It's ironic that the West is being attack by Muslims, who hold their religion and family (brothers) above everything else, and the West sees this as an attack on the "individualism" that it drills into our heads. Yet, wants a "united front" on terrorism.


Ah yes, Occulus Rift---it will grow into something where people would like to be stuck in a fantasy realm where reality is unattractive. A cheap version of the matrix. Already they are saying that porn will be a big driving factor in future development.
