It's scary to see how many early 20 guys marry

[IceBankMiceElfParticipant 124]

About a year ago I heard a guy (20) at work tell a girl he worked with that he was getting married soon. When I saw him alone, I hit him up and asked him why he was getting married at such an early age and what was the hurry? He told me that he loved her and she loved him and she was ” the one”. I admit it that I took a small sticky and wrote “MGTOW” on it and gave it to him. I told him to look it up when he got home and not to do it at work or when his girlfriend was around. I saw him a couple of days later when he said something like he thought it was interesting.

Well, he got married. I saw him a couple of days ago and he told me he was getting divorced due to her infidelity and threats. I asked him if she was pregnant and he said “No” and I said “Good, now go your own way and do what’s best for you.”

They marry that young, because they haven’t seen half their friends get divorced yet.

Sovereignty above all else.

I think it’s called being young and ignorant even though at that age you THINK you know everything.

THIS. Gotta catch ’em when they’re old enough to marry and young enough not to know any better.

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

A person in their 40’s and 50’s has to start over with more time and resources having been invested. Give a woman half your s~~~ in your 50’s. Give a woman half your s~~~ in your 20’s. It’s not the same. You have a bigger mountain to climb in your later years when you’re approaching retirement. In your younger years you can always get a better job and earn more money. That doesn’t often happen in your twilight years.

Only if you do it so young and have such a short marriage(like in and out by 25) you literally have no assets to split in divorce, walk away with zero alimony, not having had any kids, and haven’t really started in your career path yet…otherwise if you average about 8% a year long term your investments will double every 9 years. Losing 100k at 30 hurts you just as much as 200k at 39, 400k at 48, or 800k at 57.

I know plenty of guys that have gotten divorced in their 30s…they lose their houses, generally half or more of their savings/retirement accounts/pensions(I work with a lot of ex navy guys who got in early, did 20, and are currently collecting pensions of which their ex gets a chunk of for life just because they were married for x amount of time), and get stuck paying child support and in some cases some limited alimony. They end up flat broke til they are in their 50s. Yeah…sure…they have more time to go til they retire…but the thing is…what good is it if you pay a large chunk to your ex for most of those years and can’t really save much?

I guess it depends entirely on what you consider divorce young though…because marrying at 25 and divorcing at 35(which is still pretty young considering the average age for a guy to marry these days is around 30) with a couple young kids and being shafted til 50 is a completely different scenario than marrying at 18 and divorcing at 22 with no kids.

None of those women are gonna leave now, because their husbands are rich!!

And well armed. And have easy access to trackless bottom land. And a close family willing to back up any alibi.

Do the math.

Women may not be as good at arithmetic as men, but some calculations come to them instinctively.

Had dinner with 28 year old married friend yesterday. His wife wants to SWING WITH OTHER COUPLES, even though they just had baby 1 year ago. Meanwhile this dude is questioning why I dumped ex: “who will take care of her??”

Just seen one of my young colleagues get married. He’s mid-twenties. Just spent a s~~~load of money buying a decent 3 bed house in nice neighbourhood. Spent a load on church wedding and Caribbean honeymoon.

Never seen anyone look as miserable. He’s going to get screwed. Totally. Really glad I dodged the marriage bullet…
