A few fun US marriage stats

[Max PowerParticipant 2721]

F~~~in’ hell:

There are 2.3 million couples wed every year in the US. That breaks down to nearly 6,200 weddings a day.

One-third of those getting married each year have been married before.… so around 2070 men are retarded enough every f~~~ing day in America alone to get married again or at least marry a woman who has been married before.

$72 billion per year is spent on weddings.

The average wedding budget is $20,000.

$1,016 is the average cost of wedding rings for the bride and groom.

Someone has to support the wedded whores, better a sucker than us through government entitlements while we’re entitled to homelessness and starvation!

Besides, they’re doing the right thing! <sarc/off>

I hate weddings. Been to three (one was in a foreign land and two were family) since becoming fully red pill and it’s f~~~ing agony! I felt like I was surrounded by retards.

For $1,016, I’d rather pay for some cheap hookers.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

It has come to my attention that I am one of the retarded ones. The blue pill conditioning is so great that men actually believe that after a failed first marriage it must have been a fluke. Marry again and prove that the Disney fairytale exists. It does not. We can only learn from our past, not change it and experience is a bitch. I was stupid enough to do it twice and now I hover somewhere in between a MGTOW ghost monk and PUA when I need to get laid. For me, this makes me happy. Marriage never made me happy.

It's never to late to be what you might have been...

I don’t know but here hookers (or masseuses doing lingam massage) are typically around 50$ per hour (maybe, living costs are lot cheaper) and for 1000$ one can actually buy a chinese-made TPE sex doll on amazon, instead of renting an expensive hooker or having girlfriend. 1000$ is worth 2-3 months of living expenses here.

My aunt, who died about 15 years ago, two weeks shy of age 99 told me that people back a century ago did not spend lavish amounts on weddings. She said my great-grandparents, who were married in 1890, just went down to their church and had the minister marry them. Her wedding also was just a small one with parents and siblings and was similar others at that time.

However, now everything has to be commercialized so others can make money off of it, including divorce attorneys who profit when it ends.

THere’s no way in hell I would drop 20 large on a wedding in this day and age. Total and complete waste of good money.

I enjoy it. I enjoy taking an average of $5000 per wedding that I play with my band:)

Be professional be polite but always have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

One of the laziest men I know owned a bridal dress shop. His father was a bespoke tailor so he grew up in the rag trade. He didn’t need to draw money vs labor min-max curves. His upbringing meant he knew exactly what market to target.

He didn’t even have to interact with the customers. He had a small staff of middle-aged women working on commission who handled the brides, bride’s maids, and mothers while constantly preaching all the “Her Special Day” nonsense. Most never lasted too long. Being women, they’d thought working in a dress shop would be fun and, being women, didn’t bother doing the math.

He visited the shop only a few hours a day and dressed very well when he did so in order to cultivate an air of “fashionable distance”. He only met with the customers when the checks were signed. He did most of his real work at home for a few hours every day; stuff like accounting, billing, ordering, and so forth. He did subscribe to every bridal magazine in existence and visited showrooms in NYC at least twice a year, but that didn’t take up much time.

Most days you could find him either at the simulcast windows of a local dog track or at one of a handful of bars.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

You’ll be lucky to see me drop a s~~~ on a wedding!

I found a TPE doll for $400, though I wish I could have afforded a larger/better one. TPE is a bit volatile compared to Silicone so one might have to do repairs from time to time. I bought her last April and she still has plenty to offer.

That number seemed high to me, so I did a reality check. There are 324 million people in the US. It takes 2 to get married, so 4.6 million get married every year…or about 1.5% of the population. That sounds reasonable to me.

That’s not accurate. You’re assuming that men and women remarry equally. The article didn’t say anything to support that conclusion.

Ok. Then do it.

[Max PowerParticipant 2721]

Well, math is not my strong point. I figured/wrote that if one third are getting married for a second time, either they are men getting married for a second time or they are men marrying women who are getting married for a second time.

Of course, gay marriage would have an impact too.

My main point is that there are vast numbers of men still falling into the trap. A lot of disasters in the making.
