Men In The US Getting Married Later? Not As Much As You Would Think

[Soldier-MedicParticipant 2566]

Below are two links. One is a table and another is a article discussing how the median age for marriage for men isn’t than much different over 130 years ago. The median age for women has increased by about four years.

Median Age at First Marriage, 1890–2010

Men still marry when the little head is making all the decisions. That sort of biology isn’t going to change in a few paltry centuries.

The age of women increasing is more significant, because it shows that fewer and fewer men are marrying. Since men are still expected to do the proposing, with fewer men doing so every day the bell curve for married men is narrowing and shrinking. And since male SMV peaks well after female SMV is in decline, that shrinking, narrowing bell curve only serves to drag the peak of the female bell curve into older territory (while it also shrinks and narrows).

TL;DR: marriage is dead.

My little head called all the shots when I was a kid, sure as shootin’. I thank my lucky stars that I did not end up married or saddled with something called “an incurable disease”!! Thinking about it, I realize alimony really is an incurable disease, except it isn’t in the medical manuals but the court dockets.

Discovered by MD C~~~ Gold Digmeister and c~~~leagues in 12th century at German town of Meinhateister.

Pathophysiology involves exposure to eyeborn contaminant loveotitis. Infecting agent is believed to be dimorphic photophobic womanerius; origin unknown but molecular spectrometry has revealed non-determinant personality and behavior traits. Scientists believe close resemblance to chameleon spp found in Sahara desert.

Symptoms exacerbated from prolonged contact (>3 years) with virus strain belonging to divorsus family spp lawyerus. Scientists at MiG-Tow© labs have have isolated strands of virus on short arm of chromosome Y2;5.

Believed to be incurable once contracted.

Prophylaxis with red pills has reduced onset of symptoms and in some cases resolution of symptoms despite infection.

However, research done by German firm FemiNottzis© disputes such claims.

Started to reply and realised I was about to say what Sidecar said 😉

This really shows less men are marrying.

I know personally, and I have several buddies who all feel the same as I do…but we would have married when we were early 20s if we found the right girl who was ready to settle down…but a lot of the girls we met while we were in our early 20s were more interested in partying and riding the carousel. Feminism told them to get out there and f~~~ around…it empowers them lol.

Sure we had some girlfriends along the way but for the most part we said f~~~ it and pursued our goals on our own. Now for those of us that have achieved much in our lives, who are now in our early 30s and successful…those same girls now want to marry up. F~~~ you c~~~s. You weren’t interested in working with me and building something for us, but now that I have built something for me you want to come claim a piece? No thanks…no way in hell am I signing a contract that will merge me financially with someone dragging a decades worth of debt that subsidized their partying and carousel riding.

The way I look at it…had I married at 22, and a few years later it ended in divorce, big deal. I’d be mid 20s, plenty of time to recover financially, and whatever resources I lost in the split would have been from some of my lowest earning years in terms of what I’ll earn over my life time. If I meet someone now, date for a couple years, marry, and divorce after a few years its a lot more crippling. I’m bringing a lot more assets into the marriage than I was in my early 20s, I’m earning a lot more meaning I’ll potentially lose more, and splitting assets in my late 30s would be a lot more painful in terms of retirement planning than splitting in my 20s as that is a decade less to recover. Basically a $20,000 divorce at 27 would be a hell of a lot less painful than a $500,000 divorce at 37. Oh well…missed your chance ladies…and I have a feeling a lot of guys come to this same conclusion in their late 20s/early 30s around the same time women get baby rabies and decide its time to catch a husband.

Just as you say Beer I have a similar cohort.

This is further compounded by Feminism telling women to party it up and for men to be destroyed for showing interest.
Which has led to women leaving it till to late and men opting out even younger than expected.
I wounder how far it will get before something snaps.

“During the 19th century, the age of consent in the United States varied between 10 and 16, depending on the state and year.”

During the 21st century, we had a TV show called, “To Catch a Predator.”

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. 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)

People didn’t live very long back then. Had to get married early to keep the population going. Because people now live longer, it should be no lower than 14 – at the minimum.
