For the first time since the U.S. Census was created in 1790, there are more people who are unmarried than married. The divorce rate is over 50% and in some places is closer to 70%.

Is this really a surprise to anyone? What’s the point..?
As of right now, anyone I mention the fact that I don’t believe in marriage to gives me a shocked look, a look that implies I may have just set a box of kittens on fire.. (that’s terrible). All jokes aside, it’s true. I don’t understand the shock in not believing in something that is old fashioned and presents absolutely NO benefits for a man.

This argument is always easily won with one simple question:
“What would be the benefit for ME to get married?”
Oddly enough.. the most typical first answer I get is “Tax benefits.” SERIOUSLY?! You’re saying you want to spend the rest of your life with someone for a simple tax credit at the end of the year? This logic is clearly flawed, especially when you consider all of the expenses that come with being tethered to a woman. Double the amount on food, Gotta have a bigger bed, they need their manicures and pedicures, purses, Christmas presents, flowers, do I need to go on..? The expenses FAR outweigh any small tax credit you would receive at the end of the year..

What’s next? Well then they all turn to the “love” factor saying that marriage provides companionship. First of all, why can’t you have a companion without a piece of paper signed by the government? Why is it necessary for me to bet half of my s~~~ to have “companionship” when I can get that from a girlfriend with absolutely no financial commitment. Second of all, marriage doesn’t guarantee companionship. Let’s not act like nearly 50% of failed marriages don’t end because of some form of infidelity.. That pretty marriage certificate doesn’t do s~~~ when she decides to cheat. You are NOT secure. “Why give a bitch your heart, when she’d rather have a purse?”

Marriage laws have been setup to only benefit women.. How often do you hear about a man leaving a woman where he ends up with half of her s~~~? The answer is RARELY (yes, there are exceptions to every rule).

I think it’s pretty clear to see why marriage is so flawed and continues to be a financial death sentence. There is no need for a man in a woman’s life any longer. With feminism taking over, the government provides everything: food stamps, welfare, section 8, etc. These are all things the man used to provide.. Couples had a mutual agreement, men went to work and provided resources, women stayed home and took care of kids, prepared meals, and took care of the home. How many women even know how to cook nowadays? How many women ACTUALLY clean..? Check the selfies out on Instagram of all these girls who look absolutely amazing, yet have a f~~~ing room full of clothes all over the floor. THESE are the women who you will be looking at marriage prospects. Women who have no desire to cook or clean and would rather stay at home and catch up on the latest “Keeping up with the Kardashian’s” episode. But that’s a whole other post…….

“Chivalry is dead..? No ladies, men in prior generations had women who stayed home and cooked 5 meals a day along with cleaning the house.. They also weren’t obsessed with Facebook selfies showing their t~~~ begging for attention from their 800 friends on Facebook. Remember this the next time you brag that you “made a home cooked meal,” one night of the week.”

I never thought of this before, but when a person answers this question with tax benefits as the primary benefit of marriage for men, what they are saying is that the little bit of money you’ll save on taxes is more than anything your wife will ever do for you in the course of your marriage. If that’s the best “pitch” that can be made for marriage, it’s no wonder marriage is in trouble.

Tax benefits, and “not dying alone” are the pathetic best they can spit out. They should all be f~~~ing comedians instead of wives.

“Till death us do part” is IN the marriage vow. It’s already widely ACCEPTED that you’re going to “die alone”. It’s right there in the wording. So try harder ladies. Nobody is buying your s~~~ sammich anymore.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I find it easy to bulldoze any chance that a woman has of “convincing” me that marriage is a positive thing for a man. One simple, yet direct question will NEVER have an answer that any sane man could condone… “What is the benefit to ME?”

This is another interesting point, especially when you consider the statistics.. There are multiple studies that have been done that show married couples actually have LESS sex than their single counterparts.. so even that “benefit” is ridiculous. I can get more sex as a single guy than I ever would being married.

I have dug deep into these so called statistics on marriage and sex, and out of the several hundred that I have reviewed, I have yet to find a single one that did not contain fatally flawed methodology. We just do not know exactly how people feel, think, or act beyond what we have observed in our own lives and friends lives.
Yes, we are all agreed that as marriage stands right now, it is at best a mockery of what it should be. But, is “marriage” a ridiculous concept, or is this “unequal contractual pairing of men and women” the real ridiculous concept?
Also, if you have truly decided to go your own way, you do not owe ANYONE (male or female) an explanation for your decision not to marry. Own it, don’t justify it to others outside of these forums. It will only make you look weak.
