    Here is an article talking about how the number of Americans living alone is increasing. I won’t go into all the statistics. You can read the article for yourselves. (See link at the bottom of the post.)

    But here is the take-away point, I think: The article puts the blame on men. It says that when men don’t earn enough to support a family, they put off marriage.

    […A]nalysts said, the decline in both marriage and partnerships is likely a result of the declining ability of men to earn a salary large enough to sustain a family.

    “All signs point to the growing fragility of the male wage earner,” said Cheryl Russell, a demographer and editorial director at the New Strategist Press. “The demographic segments most likely to be living without a partner are the ones in which men are struggling the most — young adults, the less educated, Hispanics, and blacks.”

    They go on to say that $40,000 a year seems to be the cut-off. When a guy earns less than $40k, he is less likely to marry. Meantime, guys who earn over $40k are still getting married at the normal pace.

    But to me, that kind of shows a red-pill awareness in the public at large: People are aware that marriage is EXPENSIVE (in more ways than one), and so they don’t want to risk it until they have some cash to throw away. In the old days, guys didn’t worry about the cost of getting married. Now they do.

    So that tells me that guys are at least beginning to wise up a little bit about the nature of marriage and what it entails. It’s all about the cash flow.

    Also, note that the article doesn’t have much to say about female wage earners. When the analysts look at American society as a whole, the guys are still the main wage earners (and probably always will be). Female wage-earners don’t even show up in the stats. So it’s for the guys to decide whether the marriage happens or not.

    Anyway, read the article yourself.

    In the old days they weren’t divorce raped and 2nd marriages were more rare than a Fukushima 6 legged goat!

    I thank my own personal god for the wisdom to know the difference between then and now, and not what the bias media has to say about things!

    Being the only one right in a sea of wrong sure builds up a man’s motherf~~~ing fortitude!

    Why should i give a f~~~?

    Seriously, all these articles making these ridiculous accusations against men for all the ills of society, they leave out that one crucial piece. Why should i give a f~~~?

    Society does not give a f~~~ about me. If i get married, i will have my life ruined by the woman i married, and the state will sanction it. So why the f~~~ should i care about women or society? Why should i lift a single goddamn finger to support either of them? Give me one good reason.

    Yeah that’s what i thought. That’s why i live alone and will continue to do so.

    Any man that earn enough to marry and raise a family, should not by no means get married EVER.

    Men who are not able to make it, should get married so they get the help of the women who also should work.

    If I have enough to support my selft, live all my life confortable, and have enough money after retirement to pay someone to feed me and clean the s~~~ off my ass.

    WHY IN HELL PUT IN GEOPARDY MY LIFE? WHAT DO I GET?

    To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

    I am LOOKING FORWARD to the day when I can LIVE ALONE AGAIN. Currently, I still live in the “family dwelling”, but at least I have my own portion of the house.

    I do get quiet times, and it’s a teaser of my future life.

    Solitude, Peace and Quiet, No Ranting Bitches, No Yelling, No screaming; Who the F~~~ wouldn’t WANT to live alone ???

    You just don’t know how much you will miss something til it’s gone !!

    There’s been a surge this past week of manginas and feminists publishing “man up and date” garbage.
    All putting the blame of single ladies woes on men.

    Christmas must be getting close.
    Then international MGTOW day on Feb 14.

    It’s never been a better time for cats.

    If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.

    when I was younger, my greatest fear was to be alone when I would be 40. I was divorced at age 39. today at age 47, you couldn’t pay me enough to get married again. put a gun to my head, I’d help you pull the trigger. there is no way I would take up with a woman again.

    I plan on living alone the rest of my life. Why marry, and then have to buy a huge house, to keep HER happy? I don’t want kids. I don’t need a 4 bedroom house, and all the work to keep it up, and the cost to furnish it – and then keep paying for it all when she decides to get divorced on a whim. I’m seriously considering downsizing to a 40′ sailboat, because it’s even less upkeep and nonsense that a house/condo would give me – and I’d be able to sail! Alone! I hate stuff – and to me, a woman in my life means being buried in stuff. (that I get to pay for, and she ultimately gets to keep.) I’m not a participant in the consumer lifestyle, and it’s so rare to run into a woman who’s the same it’s basically a myth. I GET the tiny home movement, but when guys do it. When women go tiny home, they cram it full of the Target stuff I’m trying to avoid!

    That is because love is alimony.

    A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

    I wouldn’t mind living with someone if they didn’t mind cooking and cleaning and knew when to stfu and let me enjoy some quiet time on occasion, but modern women can’t do any of that, so why the hell would I want to live with any of them?

    The only real benefit to living with someone is to split bills, but I don’t need the extra few hundred bucks a month I might save with a room mate that badly, and if I did it would be a platonic room mate and the finances would be a business arrangement for us both, not part of a relations~~~ deal.

    The article puts the blame on men. It says that when men don’t earn enough to support a family, they put off marriage.

    I would expect no less. Regardless of who or what they blame it changes nothing. Men are leaving the building and until the c~~~s figure out it’s them not us they better be prepared to work long hours.

    If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.
