If you have a 60% chance of losing half of what you own, who in the right mind would want to get married? And who knows how many of the remaining 40% are in miserable marriages...
Its the painful truth that no one is really willing to accept. Everyone rather have flings and then feel like they are entitled to complain about their fbw not wanting a relationship. Heck even with the "Nice guys finish last saying" what self respecting person wants to commit to anybody with a sexually irresponsible past, I'm not saying be a virgin and wait until marriage, I'm saying if you screwed as many people as an NFL roster don't expect this nice sweet person to want to commit because you didn't value anyone out of your sexual pleasure so what's the chances of them being special.
@ Cameron Bell: the secure kind of guy who doesn't place a value on how many men the woman he is interested in has had a fling with. It takes a strong, secure guy to do that. You are not it.
As a young man why would I get married, so I can take care of a grown child called a "Wife" because that's what a "Real Man" would do and lose everything I own, uhhhhhh No I'll pass and I recommend you other men do the same
I find the marital laws to be disgusting. In today's world no man should be paying alimony! Divorce to a woman should not be like getting a part time income, and furthermore, like hitting the damn lottery!
What a bunch of clueless chuckleheads. No mention of the divorce rate. No mention of family courts. No mention of alimony. "I'm in my own little bubble" only nugget of truth spoken.
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?" The Princess said, "No!!!" And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and dated skinny long-legged full-breasted women and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to naked bars and dated ladies half his age and drank whiskey, beer and Captain Morgan and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and dated cheerleaders and kept his house and ate spam and potato chips and beans and blew enormous farts and never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family thought he was cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up. The End
Kendall Defoe Yea, when I first read it, I liked it so much I saved it and when ever I see a place I want to put it I just copy and paste it now rather then try to remember it and type it all over again. Please feel free to do the same if you like.
Multiple reasons really, i tend to look at from the male perspective. Getting married is pretty much stacked against men unfair child custody laws, only men are paying for support. The bigger reason imo, is feminism, Feminism made it difficult for both men and women to form relationships and with that you got a generation of men and women that are unhappy.
Well it could be that too but where i live it seems like people are just after girls to bang them and that's it . It's insane just how many teenagers think of girls / women like that in my school .
VenomAwakens!! LOL their teenagers man what do expect, but regardless id perfer to form a long lasting relationship with women because i always loved the idea of having a family.
***** Same here . The funny thing is that my best friend was in a relationship with this girl for some time and then he went to her home where the girl tried to seduce him into "doing it" with her but he refused and the next day the girl broke up with him . Sadly it's all about "fucking" in this generation while long relationships are rare .
Boom, finally someone got it correct. You have to be crazy to marry a woman and have kids these days, unless you like the idea of being financially fucked and never being able to see your kids if you have any. If you're earning massive amounts of money, have no criminal record and divorce your wife who's an unemployed crack addict with 20 assault charges, they will take everything you own and you'll never see your kids, that's just how it works, thanks to feminists. Then they have the guts to say they're hard done by because they get called a slut and earn slightly less than men, lol. The whole idea of marriage is ridiculous anyway, really, you sign a piece of paper which means NOTHING other than the fact that she/he will take half of everything you own. Marriage is an insecurity, locking someone in because you're too worried or know that you will separate without it.
Azitock The Gold Hoarder That's one of many reasons, but that is a very common one. It's not delusional at all. That shit isn't cheap unless you just rig something up in your back yard.
"It's estimated the average wedding costs between $25,000 and $30,000." Got that after 10 seconds on Google. Maybe that isn't a lot to you, but for a lot of people in their 20s and 30s, they're gonna be paying that off for years.
Floyd Palmer I'm not sure if this is true but I've heard that those numbers are often misleading because those statistics come from wedding planners. So it's not the cost of an average wedding, it's the cost of an average wedding among people who are wealthy enough to have wedding planners.
The Western women's movement is why marriage is dying. It's scared all the men away. Western women get divorced at the drop of a hat, have zero domestic skills, clean you out financially, have little family values and want to be dominant in the relationship. That's why I married a beautiful South American woman. She has extremely strong family values, after 19 years together sex and her looks are a priority, she has no problem being treated like a lady and treating me like a man, no problem sharing chores with me, insists and enjoys cooking, doesn't take it as an insult and all the while working and having a successful career. My best friend married a girl from the same area and he's happily married as well. Mean while all my friends who married American hedgehog looking women are miserable in sexless, loveless marriages.
Jason Downs To find such a woman is a dream come true. I'm happy for you..I'm 23 and my parents are already pressuring the whole marriage thing. I'm from a Christian home and I love my faith but at the same time I look at the women in around in the UK and I'm like F*ck that. Why would I put myself through the stress of the brattish women around me. Also I come from a household with money and I don't want some manipulative chick divorcing me, taking half my stuff, my kids, alimony and child support. Prenups in England can easily be thrown out so they don't guarantee much. I'm like why bother with it all. The risk is too high. I don't want to be some bitter middle aged man who is estranged from his teenage kids who I have to pay for, but still hates my guts because of being poisoned by an evil witch of a mum. Maybe latin and south america may be where I have to go, depends on whether the airborne virus of feminism has spread there to. All I know is the UK is doomed, our women have gone awol
porkchops91 I hear you, man. As far as going to another country to find women, you have to be careful in your approach. My first bit of advice is to find one that works hard when you meet her. In my experience, girls from the rural areas know what hard work is and that is an excellent head start. My second bit of advice is critical. If you take a woman from a foreign country and want her to stay the same as she is when you meet her, don't bring her back to your country. The 'virus' you mentioned will overtake her like whooping cough on the Aztec empire. It's possible for a woman to keep her good qualities, but I have seen many women become full-on 'westernized' in under five years. The highest success rate I have witnessed is when men find a wife in a foreign country and stay with them in that foreign country. But Jason, you do have a good thing going, but it's not only due to her culture, there's still something wonderful inside her that you don't find in every woman from her country. But I think Jason hit the bullseye when he mentioned 'she has no problem being treated like a lady and treating me like a man'. That is really key for success in marriage, especially in western cultures, too many western women have no clue at all how to let a man be a man, and even less of how to behave like a lady that men would deem 'marriageable'. Western culture has made it fashionable to drag men down and unfashionable to celebrate men for being men. No need to worry about either of you guys, you 'get it' and that sets you ahead of so many men in this new world.
***** I grew up with a lot of laos, thai, cambodia refugees that came to my area in the early 80s. I picked up a bit of the language, (it's much easier when you are still young). And later in life, I dated a lot of women that had come to the US after marrying a G.I. and were divorced. I got along great with these women, but they were open with me about having more than one boyfriend at a time. i know many people will judge for that but for me, I considered them 'my girl' only for the time that we were together and never grew too emotionally tight with them. The other guys would all dump money on them and then drive themselves crazy trying to maintain control over them. I vacationed with one of them to Thailand and then two more times with another one that introduced me to girls in the country and watched my back when we were in the bigger cities. I have a half dozen friends all over the country that I HAVE to visit every time I go to Thailand now. But I have seen many situations, I know ones that came to the US and went buck-wild, I know ones that are quite slick at getting men to spend money on them, and I know ones that have come to America and done very well, others not so much. And the ones that I would consider most desirable are country girls, but my plan is to retire there in a few years and I think, for me, my best bet is to find one and keep her where I found her. I never did go in for the mail order bride thing for myself, but I did translate at a few events where western men meet the girls that go to the bride service. Interesting things I noted. There are a LOT of men that can't understand a word of Thai, meet with a woman that doesn't know more than 50 words of English over a weekend, and are absolutely ready to commit. From that, I see a bad experience in their future. Both sides are interested in the wrong things and it's doomed to start. But I don't need any service to introduce me to women, and I''m not condemning those agencies. A good portion of the women I saw go full on westernized in a few years were ones that people would call 'mail order' brides, so take care. But I see a lot of people hooking up through them for all the wrong reasons. Women that are motivated to leave their home country are not looking for beautiful scenery in another country, they are looking for economic opportunity, whether that means living off the man or getting good job in America, for instance. So in a sense, they are motivated by money, and many of the men I translated for seemed to be in it for sex and a domestic worker, and I can't tell you how many of these relationships are doomed because one or both parties is not searching in the right place or for the right reasons, or both. Sorry this was so long, cheers on your good fortune, and I know how the homesickness can affect asian women.
***** I agree with the need for concern in Bangkok, but I don't even fly into BK anymore. And the least likely place you would find me is in the southern half of the country. I fly into Chiang Mai now. But I'm always on a raised state of awareness because of the crazy things that happen when I'm there. I was a little outside of Chantaburi just after Christmas in 2004 when the tsunami rocked the shoreline. I was close to the coast, but on the gulf side of the peninsula. I was also near Chiang Rai in the north just days after they had that earthquake last year. But no hints of violence so far, (knock on wood). I concur on the virtues of country girls, I noticed that they are a little more interested in marriage than in leaving the country. In fact, in the rural areas, I rarely found anyone that showed much interest in even visiting the US. I used to tease the local kids that I was negotiating with their parents to adopt them and bring them home with me. In any case, after re-reading my earlier post, I want to mention that I don't want to scare people away from dating services. None of the one's I've had experience with or heard about were scams. I only wanted to raise people's awareness that they should not expect to find a good match on one of those week-long tour packages. And also wanted to encourage the men interested to understand that if they are only thinking about finding a housekeeper that they can have sex with, the relationship will not last long at all. It's a tired old stereotype that Americans tend to believe that Asian woman are submissive and easy to control. I know that you know better, davey, so don't feel that I'm lecturing you about this. I just would feel better if I help people find a better fit for them if they are going to the trouble to travel that far to find a bride.
Every one of the speakers on this show has missed the point. It's not religion, free milk, or living at home. It's because marriage is a shitty deal for men. Most of a whole generation of men have figured this out. They have said "TO HELL WITH MARRIAGE".
Joe Schmoe Every one of the speakers on this show has carefully DODGED and MASKED the point--as so many, have done for so long--and will do so, for as long as they can find a hiding place.
They should watch that Bill Burr clip on UA-cam (Why do people still get married?): "3 out of 4 marriages fail. If you found out that 3 out of 4 parachutes were going to fail, would you go skydiving?"
Marriage just doesn't seem to benefit us males. I know I can be loyal to a girl, but since I'm in college, I want to enjoy my life while I can. Maybe in the future I'll marry, but it seems unlikely because I can think of a few ways I'll benefit and a LOT of ways I'll get fucked over.
If she feels like your other half and you feel like hers, then think twice anyway because you don't wanna get re-married. But on the flip-side, do you want to live alone forever because you're afraid of your decisions? Happy marriages do exist
***** No, you get rid of God, and replace it with things like feminist, this is what you get. People didnt want to be controlled by God (Christ), so they rather be controlled by men (women)
Nagaserpent Killer You are correct, temples will fall, and churches will no longer exist...God mentioned this in Scriptures. All there will be left is unbelievers, the ungodly...people without love, forgiveness, hate, fear...etc. That must be the world you are looking forward to.
Reasons for no Marriage 1. Too much time and money is invested for a one day event 2. Women fear that overbearing and bitchy mother-in law 3. No one, man or woman, wants to be tide down 4. You lose the freedom you've gotten so used to 5. It's another way for the government to control your lives since you apparently need their permission to get married 6. Most marriages end in failure 7. Going through marriage counseling even though it almost always proves pointless 8. Marriage is just a business arrangement 9. The process of divorce is too time consuming so why get married in the first place? 10. No one gives a rat's ass about what society wants anymore
~ You're the voice of wisdom !! Nothing turns love into hate like marriage !!! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Why is the issue of men getting screwed in divorce never brought up as a deterrent for men getting married? I know several men who won't get married because the repercussions of getting caught up in a divorce will end up in a man being financially screwed. The laws surrounding divorce are out dated and have been set in place by hypocritical feminist. Why is this issue never brought up in these discussions? Fucking media!
I don't really see the point of marriage. You can do everything and live together and have kids and it's literally not a big mess if shit goes bad. Simple as that, it's easier to move in as a couple then get married.
hallabalooza filling taxes it easier when you have kids. also when your significant other is hurt you can visit them in the hospital and know right away what is wrong. OH and if your in the military you and your spouse can be buried together in the military graveyard.
Johnny Bravo Sadly, from observing modern couples, this seems to be the case. I honestly feel sorry for young men these days. If I were a young, single man these days, I'd definitely look at all my options (including MGTOW).
People aren't getting married because no one takes marriage seriously and it's not necessary. A woman has no incentive to be married even when she has children, because she can be paid to remain single and raise the kids on her own via the welfare state including child support. If she marries him, she has the divorce card in her back pocket that she can play and get paid again via alimony and child support. If she becomes a career woman, she has no need for a man or kids because she'll have money and can take care of herself. Even into old age. Men know all of these things and avoid marriage altogether. In the United States, the individual comes first and foremost over the collective. Even if you want to be a family guy or a family woman ... will the other person feel the same way you do?
Her points: Having a wedding is expensive....I've never met a MAN that wished/dreamed for an elaborate expensive wedding. The institution of marriage is a scam and divorce court should be on the stock exchange....profits galore.
Ana, your misandry is showing. You implied there are no men at the age of 28 with "their shit together". Maybe men in that age group today do not live for women the way men of previous generations did. Also, "Man up" and get married is insulting. Some men want to be married and some choose to refrain from getting married, neither is inherently more of a man than the other. Its simply a life choice.
Ana is insufferable when it comes to gender issues--it's impossible for her to be objective. And I understand, TYT lives and dies by its opinionated panel, but Ana's problem is that she's a narrow-minded twit on matters like this.
Some of us got married. Then our wives left taking the house, the kids and a chunk of our future income. Getting married is not about man-up, but pay-up
If people want marriage to become a thing again, we need to remove the finance part from it. Here in Germany, alimony is voluntary. This way, women have no motivation to marry men solely for their money, and men have less reason to not get married when they fall in love. If you don't have to be afraid for your livelihood, then you are free to follow your heart's desire. And really, in a society where men and women have equal opportunity to seek employment and are paid about equal wages, why should we force one partner to pay for the other one? This isn't the dark ages people. Time to wake up to modernity.
If you are confused about why people aren't getting married young in Spain then do some research to find out how the men there are treated. All a woman has to do is claim he hit her and he'll be in jail. Get a divorce and she could take all of his wealth. Even in the west marriage is a financial prison for men and we will continue avoiding it like crazy. In fact I have never known a man who was excited to get married - it was ALWAYS the women, ALWAYS. But then that's just based upon my personal experience.
It's a generational thing. Men AND women used to love their marriage and becoming such was what they longed for. If you look at say the World War II generation, many of them had marriages over 50-60 years. The love was mutual, giving and selfless. It's none of that today.
Bad economy? Not ready? Cohabitation? How about one major reason as to why marriage is on the decline? Feminism. Back in the old days (20 to 30 years ago) teens were getting married at 16 to 18 years old regardless if they are rich, poor, or have "their shit together." People back then were getting married left and right regardless of how bad the economy were. Stop making pathetic excuses as to why marriage is failing.
Reading TYT comments = facepalm. UA-cam's comment system gives a platform to trolling and blatantly offensive points of view as those are the ones that get a rise. TyT top comments: * Reasonable Comment * Troll * Troll * Anti-women feminist bashing * Reasonable response to video * Anti-women fat shaming * Misandrist (possible troll) * Troll
I was with you until you mentioned the misandrist/possible trolls. Please point them out, I'd like to know where they are. Often what you read is defensive comments/replies to *ALL* the other anti-feminists, women bashing comments and trolls. Still, _nowhere_ near in intensity, intent or numbers.
AnAverageMusician Thank google plus. It works that way because the first person to comment (usually a no life racist or sexist idiot) on a video gets the top spot.
***** I think I was referring to "Maybe because women are getting smarter & have stopped falling for mens marriage traps. It is all a trap designed by men for men." But my comment was more general. It's across most TYT videos.
Why is no one getting married, because men don't want to give half their net worth to a woman just because she married him once. If modern women are supposed to be so strong and independent, why are they still taking alimony? Why are they getting paid a portion of man's salary if they can work themselves? Why do they collect child support from fathers who aren't even allowed to see their own children? So you tell me, WHY IS NO ONE GETTING MARRIED? Think long and hard! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Another question is why do people get married but do not STAY married...and then you find out that American women make up for 2/3rds of divorce filings. Yet all the panel can wonder at is how MEN are choosing to defer marriage or avoid it altogether. So out of touch.
Think how much society has rapidly declined in the past 50 years... I look at the two most important women in my life; my mother and grandmother. Both classy, intelligent, and lovely women who respect the men in their life. I go to bars trying to meet women and encounter a bunch of whiny, entitled brats that have nothing to offer me. I want an intelligent beautiful woman who respects and appreciates me, not just throw me under the bus and expects special privileges.
I've lived in Germany for nearly 3 years and its amazing... I've never met a single mother or even heard about one. Family seems to be really important here. Now I've never took a survey to see whose actually married but when you see a pregnant woman, you see her with her man, you see as many men pushing strollers or with their kids as you see women. That is just not the case in America and I think that's sad. I wonder why that is considering Americans are significantly more religious than Germans.
The problem here is that you like many Americans were brain washed into thinking that ethics and morals are the domain of religion. Thinking that people being religion makes them better people is a common mistake that many Americans that I know (I am an American myself BTW) also make. Also you do not have to be married to be a good mom/dad and do a good job raising kids (another lie told to Americans).
I'm assuming Germans have easy access to birth control which is encouraged by the government, so couples can easily decide and plan thoroughly about raising a family. Which in essence, is just great.
This does not match with statics. The US census has data on both the US and Germany for single parent households. The US has 29.5% and Germany has 21.7%. Clearly the US has more then Germany, but it is not that huge of a difference. www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s1337.pdf
Because monogamy is unnatural. Only small percentage of people are truly monogamous. Guess who made the unnatural thing a norm. Yep, religion. While they now have the balls to scream that gay marriage is unnatural. There's not end to lies and hypocrisy. Granted most of them just born to this and are ignorant about most of the facts. We just need better laws covering people who have a child and are not living together. Also laws covering polygamous/polyandrous like relationships. If you don't like it. Tough, it's coming in the future near to you.
***** There are anti-contraceptives readily available now so,no,it isn't.You can have a polyamorous relationship and still not breed,the number of sexual partners are not a factor
You're actually both right. SmartK8 Humans are not naturally monogamous but as ***** said, marriage did make civilization what it is (for better or worst). Humans are what we call *socially monogamous*. Historically marriage has always been a contract, an investment between two parties; the women's family 'offered' her servitude, and men provided security both financially and physically. The end game was about raising children; in humans, the paternal investment in raising a child is very important for both the child and the mother. This little arrangement however does not prevent the basic animalistic need of men and women to seek out higher quality mates. When there is no children, men and women are as likely to seek elsewhere, but when children come to the equation, women tend to be more 'faithful' because promiscuity will affect her ability to raise competitive offsprings by loosing the 'daddy' resource. People are actually quite surprised to know that historically, marriage wasn't about monogamy or even love, it was about securing resources. If the female strays elsewhere whilst married, she is assured that her 'daddy' resource is still intact, the same goes for males, they know their offsprings will have a competitive shot at life and reproduce themselves, therefor making his genes 'immortal'. Obviously, things change and evolve but this was pretty much the logic behind social monogamy that we still practice today.
Drake Targaryen Unnatural in a sense of not being evolutionary and historically a default kind of relationship. The most common was living in a structured tribe. Kids were raised by mother first years then by whole tribe (relatives). There were monogamous relations except in few percentages that two people were faithful to each other. Institutionalized monogamy is an artificial construct (but only in some cultures).
Marriage costs a lot of money, and all of our parents got divorced which also costs a lot of money. Not to mention, cheating is in for some reason, everyones cheating on each other. What's wrong with being single and supporting yourself?
this is a problem why? what is marriage good for again? it is an outdated concept... if marriage did not exist, would you invent it? (some comedian has a bit about this). it's a religious relic.
***** yeah but then it is only a problem to the people deciding against marriage, and hey they seem to be fine. and yeah, i see those tax breaks more as a discrimination against ugly unlovable unsocial etc. people, everybody that would like to get married but cannot for whatever reason find a person to do it with cannot get those financial benefits. those should not exist, its more or less an incentive to marry and therefore make babys so population grows so that the economy grows and so on, because it's rooted in ever growing everything. another thing would be visitation rights in the hospital, but that could easily changed to a legally binding list of people you would grant those rights in case of emergency.
***** Also being able to see your partner in the hospital and have your partner be the one to make medical decisions on your behalf. Immigrating together. Sharing benefits.
like i said above somewhere you would not have to bind that to some 1 person emotional/sexual relationship status... you could just as easily make a legal document containing a list with ALL the persons (not just your 1 partner) that you would grant those rights. still no need for marriage, and the alternative would be more practical.
RoySchl "creating a legal document" outside of marriage isn't going to help you with immigration, nor will it force your company to extend your benefits to a non-married partner if they don't want to do it. I don't believe hospitals have to allow anyone who isn't family to see a patient.
I'd say it's because more and more people are growing up in broken(divorced) households and after witnessing the pain their mothers and/or fathers went through, they've no intention or desire to risk having to cope with the emotional and/or financial troubles their parent/s did.
I am almost 36 years old male, no kids and never got close of getting married. With the exception of my female relatives, I have been treated bad by women quite often. This includes at the workplace, a hostess judging me for not asking her permission if i could get her daughters number which in fact she was already 18 years old which to me is an adult. Some women try to manipulate me and use me. I haven't had a gf for about 8 years and counting and don't want one anymore. Women labeling me creepy is not going to make me interested in women anymore and so I rather be single and have no kids and die with no family.
Here is something I have not heard about at all: Why does anybody really care about the decline in marriage rates? I mean, really care. Can someone logically explain this panic? And to the woman in the vid who asks about finding a man in LA who has his shit together? That statement alone speaks volumes on why people arent getting married. Just an observation.
Nabil Tohoin No, I live by myself. My parents passed away. My father of a heart attack in 2003 and my mother of colon cancer in 2011. It's very sad knowing that my parents are not around anymore.
1 sister 39 years old single. I used to live with my parents until they both died. I used to take care of my parents, always driving them to doctor appointments and stuff like that.
Its also clearly a reaction to feminist bullying and legalised theft from men, which we euphamistically call 'marriage'. Fewer marriages = men getting wise!
Other possible reasons that weren't mentioned: 1) people are aging more slowly; 2) the internet has exposed people to more opportunities; 3) technology makes it easy to find dates; 4) cheap access to porn; 5) expanded opportunities for women in the workplace.
I've never been married. But at my job I feel pressured. Why does my job tries interfere with my personal life? I'm also being stalked and forced into situations that interfere with my will.
AT 59 I can only say you get one maybe two shots to find a great partner. Don't delay making a selection, it is a fatal mistake. There is no security folks. If you find the right person, go for it. You most likely won't get a second chance. Do I regret staying single? It wasn't my choice, I never had what women wanted so they ignored me totally. In retrospect I never had to deal with divorce. Maybe I came out ahead.
Thanks Londo--great advice--problem is I have colon cancer stage 3, I can rarely leave the house today. I'm too weak for the gym now. Am. women have no interest in men over 55.
Because marriage has become extremely demanding for the men. One hundred and fifty years ago marriage doesn't have anything to do with love, just existing as partners until women let lose their emotional disaster and involve their so called love into it..
She’s talking about man up as if it’s easy for men if they get divorced everything goes to her. It’s always a 1 way street and it’s always men to blame
If you went skydiving and when they handed you a parachute they said, "it's great fun, but 50% of the time our parachutes don't open" Would you still jump?
I'm going to be a 28 year old in America that will have shit together...I hope I will be rewarded with a woman I was never entitled to even though I've worked hard and genuinely tried to make every romantic opportunity I had work. Even if I'm in shape and make more than 70 grand a year, I'm not attractive enough for any "woman" to want to sacrifice a goddamn thing to make an adult relationship work. People forgot how to compromise to facilitate a long-term relationship and thereby marriage.
ACC7386 Absolute bullshit, don't you try to pass the buck. There are plenty of willing women out there this very instant and the only reason you're not with one right now has fuck all to do with them and everything to do with you. You should be asking yourself what you're doing to repel them away and here's a hint: you're _entitled_ to jack shit. Even if you disagree, such language is going to repel practically every woman you meet with few exceptions.
ACC7386 No I really didn't. You were never _entitled_ to a woman just like no one else was _entitled_ to one. Similarly how no woman is _entitled_ to any man.
Why does feminism entail using an argument against a person they embedded a statement to explicitly say that's not what they're saying? Like, I really don't understand how associating the word "reward" with "long-term relationship" makes me a bad person and not simply vulnerable to human psychology. Seriously, I'm not a misogynistic asshole; I've just stated I failed and there's an extrinsic reason contributing to my failure. My individual responsibility and psychological health, which albeit is most of why I probably am not married, is entirely separate from that. Saying that shouldn't take that much elaboration in a youtube comments section.
The idea that people are not getting married because a wedding is to expensive is stupid. You can have a cheap wedding that is still super nice. I know because I have been to them. Its really because of religion getting less and less popular, women are starting to focus on their careers more, and probably the biggest reason is because divorce rates are so high men don't wanna pop the question since they will lose pretty much all their shit in the divorce.
I am with my girl, and we said we will wait for 4 years. We can still live together and have all the pleasures and joy and when we are ready I will pop the question.
Find someone that makes you happy and treats you right and that's all that really matters. You don't need a piece of paper from the courthouse to tell you who is right in your life. I wish you the best.
SugaryCoyote Why thank you. I hope the best in your future mate and I'm sure if you haven't found you true love yet, I positive you will find your partner and treat them right.
The married life never really appealed to me, I want to live a life of true freedom with no kids or wife to hold me down, even though society and my family (who are all divorced including my parents) will look down on me for not being married by 28, some people just need to understand that marriage is not for everyone, my uncle who is 57 was never married and he is successful has a nice house and is very social and happy even though my family look down on him for never being married and yet he is the most successful and happy/carefree person in my family who are all divorced and married more than once lol.
The reason people are not getting married is because the government is involved in the marriage business. Get the government out of the marriage business and people will get married again.
In France and Germany minimum 60% of babies are born out of wedlock, in UK it is 50%. Personally, as an a English lady who looks Indian, I would never opt for legal marriage, just religious ceremony to retain focus on what is important and no legal baggage. But thinking about when to do it and if just messes with my head so I may just be happy living as common law wife and husband and having kids.
The average American wedding budget - $ 27,000. Every fifth wedding costs more than $ 30,000, and one in eight - more than 40,000. This is the answer on this problem
If you have a 60% chance of losing half of what you own, who in the right mind would want to get married? And who knows how many of the remaining 40% are in miserable marriages...
In a sense being in a "cheaper with her than without her" marriage is worst situation of all to be in.
Orgil Batzorig bruh its higher then 60 I'd say 90
Orgil Batzorig An additional 15 percent are not happy in their marriages but stay together for financial reasons, children, and peer pressure.
Not foolproof. There are restrictions to what you can put in a prenuptial agreement and women can still leverage the children to get concessions.
Cheese Cubed a prenup isnt worth the paper its written on, a judge my decide to over ride one just as simply as they please
High risk and low reward...
+Cameron Bell Amen
ding ding ding...we have a winner!!!
Its the painful truth that no one is really willing to accept. Everyone rather have flings and then feel like they are entitled to complain about their fbw not wanting a relationship. Heck even with the "Nice guys finish last saying" what self respecting person wants to commit to anybody with a sexually irresponsible past, I'm not saying be a virgin and wait until marriage, I'm saying if you screwed as many people as an NFL roster don't expect this nice sweet person to want to commit because you didn't value anyone out of your sexual pleasure so what's the chances of them being special.
+Cameron Bell BULLSHIT ! Im from Poland Don't Want To Marry Sluts...SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Cameron Bell: the secure kind of guy who doesn't place a value on how many men the woman he is interested in has had a fling with. It takes a strong, secure guy to do that. You are not it.
Marriage. Cut out the middle man, just buy a house for someone you hate.
LOL!
Noice
A better question is, why the hell is anyone getting married any more???

Are you in med school now or you're still an undergrad? Also, (if you're an undergrad) what are you majoring in?
+yusuf farah You are only being a loudmouth and will get a plushy wife for yourself. That is what doctors do.
+yusuf farah but why not get a prenup ?? that's what I don't get , why don't most men make their wife sign a prenup ?
As a young man why would I get married, so I can take care of a grown child called a "Wife" because that's what a "Real Man" would do and lose everything I own, uhhhhhh No I'll pass and I recommend you other men do the same
Fuck yea man, no point to get married!

Lol I’m a girl and I agree, ain’t never gettin’ married
What's the incentive to get married at ALL as a man? What the hell are the benefits for us in this mess?
not a DAMN thing! only more problems
None.
it's pointless and should be done away with.
I find the marital laws to be disgusting. In today's world no man should be paying alimony! Divorce to a woman should not be like getting a part time income, and furthermore, like hitting the damn lottery!
Love?

Jon Cavanaugh so true
Problem is a lot of men don’t take marriage seriously they don’t see it like that until it hits them
@Vishwa Vijay Exactly
@Jon Cavanaugh Wow, good point!😐
What a bunch of clueless chuckleheads.
No mention of the divorce rate. No mention of family courts. No mention of alimony.
"I'm in my own little bubble" only nugget of truth spoken.
yes no mention i wrote read the comments thats where your answer is
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?"
The Princess said, "No!!!"
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and dated skinny long-legged full-breasted women and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to naked bars and dated ladies half his age and drank whiskey, beer and Captain Morgan and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and dated cheerleaders and kept his house and ate spam and potato chips and beans and blew enormous farts and never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family thought he was cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.
The End
Awesome comment!
From +DanBilzerian 's Facebook 😂
I had read this before, but I am glad to see this again...!
Kendall Defoe Yea, when I first read it, I liked it so much I saved it and when ever I see a place I want to put it I just copy and paste it now rather then try to remember it and type it all over again. Please feel free to do the same if you like.
im1who84u Epic.
Multiple reasons really, i tend to look at from the male perspective. Getting married is pretty much stacked against men unfair child custody laws, only men are paying for support. The bigger reason imo, is feminism, Feminism made it difficult for both men and women to form relationships and with that you got a generation of men and women that are unhappy.
Well it could be that too but where i live it seems like people are just after girls to bang them and that's it . It's insane just how many teenagers think of girls / women like that in my school .
VenomAwakens!! LOL their teenagers man what do expect, but regardless id perfer to form a long lasting relationship with women because i always loved the idea of having a family.
***** Same here . The funny thing is that my best friend was in a relationship with this girl for some time and then he went to her home where the girl tried to seduce him into "doing it" with her but he refused and the next day the girl broke up with him . Sadly it's all about "fucking" in this generation while long relationships are rare .
VenomAwakens!! Cant be helped, marriage is a financial liability or way too many risks involved.
Boom, finally someone got it correct. You have to be crazy to marry a woman and have kids these days, unless you like the idea of being financially fucked and never being able to see your kids if you have any. If you're earning massive amounts of money, have no criminal record and divorce your wife who's an unemployed crack addict with 20 assault charges, they will take everything you own and you'll never see your kids, that's just how it works, thanks to feminists. Then they have the guts to say they're hard done by because they get called a slut and earn slightly less than men, lol. The whole idea of marriage is ridiculous anyway, really, you sign a piece of paper which means NOTHING other than the fact that she/he will take half of everything you own. Marriage is an insecurity, locking someone in because you're too worried or know that you will separate without it.
LOL, they think marriage is becoming less popular because weddings are expensive... haha, how delusional can they be?
Yeah because most people in the United States can shell up the average $25,200.00 that weddings cost here in the U.S. at beck and call lol.
Azitock The Gold Hoarder That's one of many reasons, but that is a very common one. It's not delusional at all. That shit isn't cheap unless you just rig something up in your back yard.
Ya, I heard Ana say that, and I'm like WTF? Only a woman would say some shit like that. Hasn't she heard of Vegas?
"It's estimated the average wedding costs between $25,000 and $30,000."
Got that after 10 seconds on Google. Maybe that isn't a lot to you, but for a lot of people in their 20s and 30s, they're gonna be paying that off for years.
Floyd Palmer I'm not sure if this is true but I've heard that those numbers are often misleading because those statistics come from wedding planners. So it's not the cost of an average wedding, it's the cost of an average wedding among people who are wealthy enough to have wedding planners.
Singles used to be the losers but now the married ones are...people have become enlightened
No one said anything about divorce rate and alimony.. IRONIC
they are liberals and feminist
@RAHUL I wasn't surprised at all.
Liberal Feminist
Thanks feminists for being so sexually available. No need to get married for that anymore. 😀

Isnt women are strong, independant and dont need men for anything? Then why are the whinings about marriage?
The Western women's movement is why marriage is dying. It's scared all the men away. Western women get divorced at the drop of a hat, have zero domestic skills, clean you out financially, have little family values and want to be dominant in the relationship. That's why I married a beautiful South American woman. She has extremely strong family values, after 19 years together sex and her looks are a priority, she has no problem being treated like a lady and treating me like a man, no problem sharing chores with me, insists and enjoys cooking, doesn't take it as an insult and all the while working and having a successful career. My best friend married a girl from the same area and he's happily married as well. Mean while all my friends who married American hedgehog looking women are miserable in sexless, loveless marriages.
Jason Downs To find such a woman is a dream come true. I'm happy for you..I'm 23 and my parents are already pressuring the whole marriage thing. I'm from a Christian home and I love my faith but at the same time I look at the women in around in the UK and I'm like F*ck that. Why would I put myself through the stress of the brattish women around me. Also I come from a household with money and I don't want some manipulative chick divorcing me, taking half my stuff, my kids, alimony and child support. Prenups in England can easily be thrown out so they don't guarantee much. I'm like why bother with it all. The risk is too high. I don't want to be some bitter middle aged man who is estranged from his teenage kids who I have to pay for, but still hates my guts because of being poisoned by an evil witch of a mum. Maybe latin and south america may be where I have to go, depends on whether the airborne virus of feminism has spread there to. All I know is the UK is doomed, our women have gone awol
porkchops91 I hear you, man. As far as going to another country to find women, you have to be careful in your approach. My first bit of advice is to find one that works hard when you meet her. In my experience, girls from the rural areas know what hard work is and that is an excellent head start. My second bit of advice is critical. If you take a woman from a foreign country and want her to stay the same as she is when you meet her, don't bring her back to your country. The 'virus' you mentioned will overtake her like whooping cough on the Aztec empire. It's possible for a woman to keep her good qualities, but I have seen many women become full-on 'westernized' in under five years. The highest success rate I have witnessed is when men find a wife in a foreign country and stay with them in that foreign country. But Jason, you do have a good thing going, but it's not only due to her culture, there's still something wonderful inside her that you don't find in every woman from her country. But I think Jason hit the bullseye when he mentioned 'she has no problem being treated like a lady and treating me like a man'. That is really key for success in marriage, especially in western cultures, too many western women have no clue at all how to let a man be a man, and even less of how to behave like a lady that men would deem 'marriageable'. Western culture has made it fashionable to drag men down and unfashionable to celebrate men for being men. No need to worry about either of you guys, you 'get it' and that sets you ahead of so many men in this new world.

I grew up with a lot of laos, thai, cambodia refugees that came to my area in the early 80s. I picked up a bit of the language, (it's much easier when you are still young). And later in life, I dated a lot of women that had come to the US after marrying a G.I. and were divorced. I got along great with these women, but they were open with me about having more than one boyfriend at a time. i know many people will judge for that but for me, I considered them 'my girl' only for the time that we were together and never grew too emotionally tight with them. The other guys would all dump money on them and then drive themselves crazy trying to maintain control over them. I vacationed with one of them to Thailand and then two more times with another one that introduced me to girls in the country and watched my back when we were in the bigger cities. I have a half dozen friends all over the country that I HAVE to visit every time I go to Thailand now. But I have seen many situations, I know ones that came to the US and went buck-wild, I know ones that are quite slick at getting men to spend money on them, and I know ones that have come to America and done very well, others not so much. And the ones that I would consider most desirable are country girls, but my plan is to retire there in a few years and I think, for me, my best bet is to find one and keep her where I found her. I never did go in for the mail order bride thing for myself, but I did translate at a few events where western men meet the girls that go to the bride service. Interesting things I noted. There are a LOT of men that can't understand a word of Thai, meet with a woman that doesn't know more than 50 words of English over a weekend, and are absolutely ready to commit. From that, I see a bad experience in their future. Both sides are interested in the wrong things and it's doomed to start. But I don't need any service to introduce me to women, and I''m not condemning those agencies. A good portion of the women I saw go full on westernized in a few years were ones that people would call 'mail order' brides, so take care. But I see a lot of people hooking up through them for all the wrong reasons. Women that are motivated to leave their home country are not looking for beautiful scenery in another country, they are looking for economic opportunity, whether that means living off the man or getting good job in America, for instance. So in a sense, they are motivated by money, and many of the men I translated for seemed to be in it for sex and a domestic worker, and I can't tell you how many of these relationships are doomed because one or both parties is not searching in the right place or for the right reasons, or both. Sorry this was so long, cheers on your good fortune, and I know how the homesickness can affect asian women.

I agree with the need for concern in Bangkok, but I don't even fly into BK anymore. And the least likely place you would find me is in the southern half of the country. I fly into Chiang Mai now. But I'm always on a raised state of awareness because of the crazy things that happen when I'm there. I was a little outside of Chantaburi just after Christmas in 2004 when the tsunami rocked the shoreline. I was close to the coast, but on the gulf side of the peninsula. I was also near Chiang Rai in the north just days after they had that earthquake last year. But no hints of violence so far, (knock on wood). I concur on the virtues of country girls, I noticed that they are a little more interested in marriage than in leaving the country. In fact, in the rural areas, I rarely found anyone that showed much interest in even visiting the US. I used to tease the local kids that I was negotiating with their parents to adopt them and bring them home with me.
In any case, after re-reading my earlier post, I want to mention that I don't want to scare people away from dating services. None of the one's I've had experience with or heard about were scams. I only wanted to raise people's awareness that they should not expect to find a good match on one of those week-long tour packages. And also wanted to encourage the men interested to understand that if they are only thinking about finding a housekeeper that they can have sex with, the relationship will not last long at all. It's a tired old stereotype that Americans tend to believe that Asian woman are submissive and easy to control. I know that you know better, davey, so don't feel that I'm lecturing you about this. I just would feel better if I help people find a better fit for them if they are going to the trouble to travel that far to find a bride.
That's what I suggested a few people to do. Find a South American woman. I've heard their much better down there.
Every one of the speakers on this show has missed the point. It's not religion, free milk, or living at home. It's because marriage is a shitty deal for men. Most of a whole generation of men have figured this out. They have said "TO HELL WITH MARRIAGE".
Joe Schmoe Every one of the speakers on this show has carefully DODGED and MASKED the point--as so many, have done for so long--and will do so, for as long as they can find a hiding place.
They should watch that Bill Burr clip on UA-cam (Why do people still get married?): "3 out of 4 marriages fail. If you found out that 3 out of 4 parachutes were going to fail, would you go skydiving?"
wise words man
That's old news dude. He ended up getting married
Marriage just doesn't seem to benefit us males. I know I can be loyal to a girl, but since I'm in college, I want to enjoy my life while I can. Maybe in the future I'll marry, but it seems unlikely because I can think of a few ways I'll benefit and a LOT of ways I'll get fucked over.
don't get married its overrated
If she feels like your other half and you feel like hers, then think twice anyway because you don't wanna get re-married. But on the flip-side, do you want to live alone forever because you're afraid of your decisions? Happy marriages do exist

Not everyone needs an emotional crutch called a wife to get through life ya know.

John Anderson Overrated and expensive.
It is not because weddings are expensive, it's because divorces are expensive.
getting married as a man is like giving a loaded gun to a woman and thinking that she will never use it when things go bad, it is insane.
No one is getting married because of feminism.
***** Don't get married at all, and don't live with a woman. Trust on that! Even living with a woman now is just a goddamn nightmare!
***** and also of the increase divorce rates
***** No, you get rid of God, and replace it with things like feminist, this is what you get. People didnt want to be controlled by God (Christ), so they rather be controlled by men (women)
***** It's a shame I can only give this one thumbs up.
Nagaserpent Killer You are correct, temples will fall, and churches will no longer exist...God mentioned this in Scriptures. All there will be left is unbelievers, the ungodly...people without love, forgiveness, hate, fear...etc. That must be the world you are looking forward to.
Please quit saying "man up." Men aren't getting married because marriage is for suckers and it's a bad deal. Cf. Helen Smith.
Reasons for no Marriage
1. Too much time and money is invested for a one day event
2. Women fear that overbearing and bitchy mother-in law
3. No one, man or woman, wants to be tide down
4. You lose the freedom you've gotten so used to
5. It's another way for the government to control your lives since you apparently need their permission to get married
6. Most marriages end in failure
7. Going through marriage counseling even though it almost always proves pointless
8. Marriage is just a business arrangement
9. The process of divorce is too time consuming so why get married in the first place?
10. No one gives a rat's ass about what society wants anymore
~ You're the voice of wisdom !! Nothing turns love into hate like marriage !!! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Why is the issue of men getting screwed in divorce never brought up as a deterrent for men getting married? I know several men who won't get married because the repercussions of getting caught up in a divorce will end up in a man being financially screwed. The laws surrounding divorce are out dated and have been set in place by hypocritical feminist. Why is this issue never brought up in these discussions? Fucking media!
Simple. They consider Men to Be less Human than women.
I don't really see the point of marriage. You can do everything and live together and have kids and it's literally not a big mess if shit goes bad. Simple as that, it's easier to move in as a couple then get married.
The point? How about less taxes?
hallabalooza filling taxes it easier when you have kids. also when your significant other is hurt you can visit them in the hospital and know right away what is wrong. OH and if your in the military you and your spouse can be buried together in the military graveyard.
Avatarfan10000 Exactly, I am military myself and the advantages when you're married are through the roof
Avatarfan10000 How do you own the word in?
But all of your kids will be bastards with their names ending with "Snow" :S ?
3:36 - How is getting married "manning up"?
Johnny Bravo
Sadly, from observing modern couples, this seems to be the case. I honestly feel sorry for young men these days. If I were a young, single man these days, I'd definitely look at all my options (including MGTOW).
Austin, it's just another example of their shaming tactics.
60% of young people in Greece are unemployed,that's amazing! WHAT?that's not amazing at all!
Marriage heavily favors women. Why in the hell would you work your whole life only to give 1/2 of it to either of these women?
Not hardly.
People aren't getting married because no one takes marriage seriously and it's not necessary. A woman has no incentive to be married even when she has children, because she can be paid to remain single and raise the kids on her own via the welfare state including child support. If she marries him, she has the divorce card in her back pocket that she can play and get paid again via alimony and child support. If she becomes a career woman, she has no need for a man or kids because she'll have money and can take care of herself. Even into old age.
Men know all of these things and avoid marriage altogether.
In the United States, the individual comes first and foremost over the collective. Even if you want to be a family guy or a family woman ... will the other person feel the same way you do?
MGTOW is the only Way
Marriage has nothing to do with responsibility. It has more to do with finance.
Her points: Having a wedding is expensive....I've never met a MAN that wished/dreamed for an elaborate expensive wedding. The institution of marriage is a scam and divorce court should be on the stock exchange....profits galore.
thats a stupid idea....
the divorce court should be inside a betting office.... that way, divorces actually are fun for other people!
What did you expect from a Jew?
BlacknBlue yea
Ana, your misandry is showing. You implied there are no men at the age of 28 with "their shit together". Maybe men in that age group today do not live for women the way men of previous generations did. Also, "Man up" and get married is insulting. Some men want to be married and some choose to refrain from getting married, neither is inherently more of a man than the other. Its simply a life choice.
Ana is insufferable when it comes to gender issues--it's impossible for her to be objective. And I understand, TYT lives and dies by its opinionated panel, but Ana's problem is that she's a narrow-minded twit on matters like this.
Some of us got married. Then our wives left taking the house, the kids and a chunk of our future income. Getting married is not about man-up, but pay-up
dude, answer is feminism happened.
men just got smarter, that's it.
I'm a millennial.Tried it. She cheated. Got a divorce. Not marrying again. Still paying for it.
:(
If you're serious, then I'm sorry you met that tramp.
Fuck dat bitch dawg!
That just hurt my stomach I'm so sorry to hear that ! Smh
that sucks
Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries.
for me, my parents (and their entire generation) made marriage look so fucking god awful that I want nothing to do with the institution.
If people want marriage to become a thing again, we need to remove the finance part from it.
Here in Germany, alimony is voluntary. This way, women have no motivation to marry men solely for their money, and men have less reason to not get married when they fall in love. If you don't have to be afraid for your livelihood, then you are free to follow your heart's desire.
And really, in a society where men and women have equal opportunity to seek employment and are paid about equal wages, why should we force one partner to pay for the other one?
This isn't the dark ages people. Time to wake up to modernity.
I don't care to get married! I got to have my own space!
I concur.
"Man up and get married". She has life twisted.
Why buy the cow when you got the milk, and why invite the pig when you just want a bacon snack for the evening.

I'm getting married in September and couldn't be happier. If you don't want it, don't get married. If you do, do it!

Divorce court has ruined marriage. Men don't want the risk. To many horror stories from friends.
If you are confused about why people aren't getting married young in Spain then do some research to find out how the men there are treated. All a woman has to do is claim he hit her and he'll be in jail. Get a divorce and she could take all of his wealth.
Even in the west marriage is a financial prison for men and we will continue avoiding it like crazy. In fact I have never known a man who was excited to get married - it was ALWAYS the women, ALWAYS. But then that's just based upon my personal experience.
It's a generational thing. Men AND women used to love their marriage and becoming such was what they longed for. If you look at say the World War II generation, many of them had marriages over 50-60 years. The love was mutual, giving and selfless. It's none of that today.
Bad economy? Not ready? Cohabitation? How about one major reason as to why marriage is on the decline? Feminism. Back in the old days (20 to 30 years ago) teens were getting married at 16 to 18 years old regardless if they are rich, poor, or have "their shit together." People back then were getting married left and right regardless of how bad the economy were. Stop making pathetic excuses as to why marriage is failing.
Alimony, half your assets , child support, your heart , stress just to name a few
Reading TYT comments = facepalm. UA-cam's comment system gives a platform to trolling and blatantly offensive points of view as those are the ones that get a rise.
TyT top comments:
* Reasonable Comment

I was with you until you mentioned the misandrist/possible trolls. Please point them out, I'd like to know where they are. Often what you read is defensive comments/replies to *ALL* the other anti-feminists, women bashing comments and trolls. Still, _nowhere_ near in intensity, intent or numbers.
you choose to read to these comments out of your own free will. and if someones point of view is "offensive" to you then that is your problem.
AnAverageMusician Thank google plus. It works that way because the first person to comment (usually a no life racist or sexist idiot) on a video gets the top spot.
doesn't TYT read their own comments!!!
***** I think I was referring to "Maybe because women are getting smarter & have stopped falling for mens marriage traps. It is all a trap designed by men for men."
But my comment was more general. It's across most TYT videos.
"Wow, he's going to man up and get married" - wouldn't be surprised if she is single with that kind of attitude. MGTOW!
hidden75 True, there are plenty of weak manginas who would feel privileged to marry her.
Thirtiesguy
Absolutely my friend.
+hidden75 Why didn't they announce the truth about divorce being 50/50. plus 70 percent of women file for them. sheesh
Thirtiesguy
Lol. That group took down some of the best MGTOW folks though. Bill Burr? Joe Rogan?
hidden75 Once they get betrayed and take the red pill again they'll be back in the right mindset. I hope.
They have missed men actively choosing not to get married because it simply is not worth the risk. They should read Dr Helen Smith's 'Men on Strike'.
Why is no one getting married, because men don't want to give half their net worth to a woman just because she married him once. If modern women are supposed to be so strong and independent, why are they still taking alimony? Why are they getting paid a portion of man's salary if they can work themselves? Why do they collect child support from fathers who aren't even allowed to see their own children? So you tell me, WHY IS NO ONE GETTING MARRIED? Think long and hard!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
"Why No One Is Getting Married Anymore?" -
Have you ever read a marriage contract? Talk about a shameless scam.......
Another question is why do people get married but do not STAY married...and then you find out that American women make up for 2/3rds of divorce filings. Yet all the panel can wonder at is how MEN are choosing to defer marriage or avoid it altogether. So out of touch.
Think how much society has rapidly declined in the past 50 years... I look at the two most important women in my life; my mother and grandmother. Both classy, intelligent, and lovely women who respect the men in their life. I go to bars trying to meet women and encounter a bunch of whiny, entitled brats that have nothing to offer me. I want an intelligent beautiful woman who respects and appreciates me, not just throw me under the bus and expects special privileges.
Feminism is on the rise. Marriage is on the decline. So mysterious. Call Sherlock Holmes...
I've lived in Germany for nearly 3 years and its amazing... I've never met a single mother or even heard about one. Family seems to be really important here. Now I've never took a survey to see whose actually married but when you see a pregnant woman, you see her with her man, you see as many men pushing strollers or with their kids as you see women. That is just not the case in America and I think that's sad. I wonder why that is considering Americans are significantly more religious than Germans.
The problem here is that you like many Americans were brain washed into thinking that ethics and morals are the domain of religion. Thinking that people being religion makes them better people is a common mistake that many Americans that I know (I am an American myself BTW) also make.
Also you do not have to be married to be a good mom/dad and do a good job raising kids (another lie told to Americans).
I'm assuming Germans have easy access to birth control which is encouraged by the government, so couples can easily decide and plan thoroughly about raising a family. Which in essence, is just great.
This does not match with statics. The US census has data on both the US and Germany for single parent households. The US has 29.5% and Germany has 21.7%. Clearly the US has more then Germany, but it is not that huge of a difference.

*packs bags*.....let's go to Germany!!!
And they have a great economy and good work ethic
Because monogamy is unnatural. Only small percentage of people are truly monogamous. Guess who made the unnatural thing a norm. Yep, religion. While they now have the balls to scream that gay marriage is unnatural. There's not end to lies and hypocrisy. Granted most of them just born to this and are ignorant about most of the facts. We just need better laws covering people who have a child and are not living together. Also laws covering polygamous/polyandrous like relationships. If you don't like it. Tough, it's coming in the future near to you.
***** No, it's not.
***** There are anti-contraceptives readily available now so,no,it isn't.You can have a polyamorous relationship and still not breed,the number of sexual partners are not a factor
Monogamy is unnatural? Are you kidding? It may not be needed for civilization but its defiantly natural.
You're actually both right. SmartK8 Humans are not naturally monogamous but as ***** said, marriage did make civilization what it is (for better or worst). Humans are what we call *socially monogamous*.
Historically marriage has always been a contract, an investment between two parties; the women's family 'offered' her servitude, and men provided security both financially and physically. The end game was about raising children; in humans, the paternal investment in raising a child is very important for both the child and the mother.
This little arrangement however does not prevent the basic animalistic need of men and women to seek out higher quality mates. When there is no children, men and women are as likely to seek elsewhere, but when children come to the equation, women tend to be more 'faithful' because promiscuity will affect her ability to raise competitive offsprings by loosing the 'daddy' resource.
People are actually quite surprised to know that historically, marriage wasn't about monogamy or even love, it was about securing resources. If the female strays elsewhere whilst married, she is assured that her 'daddy' resource is still intact, the same goes for males, they know their offsprings will have a competitive shot at life and reproduce themselves, therefor making his genes 'immortal'.
Obviously, things change and evolve but this was pretty much the logic behind social monogamy that we still practice today.
Drake Targaryen Unnatural in a sense of not being evolutionary and historically a default kind of relationship. The most common was living in a structured tribe. Kids were raised by mother first years then by whole tribe (relatives). There were monogamous relations except in few percentages that two people were faithful to each other. Institutionalized monogamy is an artificial construct (but only in some cultures).
Marriage costs a lot of money, and all of our parents got divorced which also costs a lot of money. Not to mention, cheating is in for some reason, everyones cheating on each other. What's wrong with being single and supporting yourself?
By the time you're 30 you're going to be looking to be married.
BLACK FEATHER MGTOW I'm glad you went to the future, met me, and my 30 year old self told you I was looking to get married.
you want to live possibly 80 years alone on this earth? not sharing any moments with a person you deeply care about? thats depressing.
friendship with benefits is the best way.
No children, no replacement for society and then death.
when divorce can make you lose everything you own to a woman its just not worth it.
Marriage is a man made prison.
No marriage
No divorce
No Alimony
No child support
Result happy life....😎😁😁
Why get married when you can just be independent and not having a girl leach off you would be nice.
this is a problem why? what is marriage good for again? it is an outdated concept... if marriage did not exist, would you invent it? (some comedian has a bit about this). it's a religious relic.
Tax breaks is the only advantage I see
***** yeah but then it is only a problem to the people deciding against marriage, and hey they seem to be fine.
and yeah, i see those tax breaks more as a discrimination against ugly unlovable unsocial etc. people, everybody that would like to get married but cannot for whatever reason find a person to do it with cannot get those financial benefits.
those should not exist, its more or less an incentive to marry and therefore make babys so population grows so that the economy grows and so on, because it's rooted in ever growing everything.
another thing would be visitation rights in the hospital, but that could easily changed to a legally binding list of people you would grant those rights in case of emergency.
***** Also being able to see your partner in the hospital and have your partner be the one to make medical decisions on your behalf. Immigrating together. Sharing benefits.
like i said above somewhere you would not have to bind that to some 1 person emotional/sexual relationship status... you could just as easily make a legal document containing a list with ALL the persons (not just your 1 partner) that you would grant those rights. still no need for marriage, and the alternative would be more practical.
RoySchl "creating a legal document" outside of marriage isn't going to help you with immigration, nor will it force your company to extend your benefits to a non-married partner if they don't want to do it. I don't believe hospitals have to allow anyone who isn't family to see a patient.
I'd say it's because more and more people are growing up in broken(divorced) households and after witnessing the pain their mothers and/or fathers went through, they've no intention or desire to risk having to cope with the emotional and/or financial troubles their parent/s did.
My thoughts exactly.
I am almost 36 years old male, no kids and never got close of getting married. With the exception of my female relatives, I have been treated bad by women quite often. This includes at the workplace, a hostess judging me for not asking her permission if i could get her daughters number which in fact she was already 18 years old which to me is an adult. Some women try to manipulate me and use me. I haven't had a gf for about 8 years and counting and don't want one anymore. Women labeling me creepy is not going to make me interested in women anymore and so I rather be single and have no kids and die with no family.
If they're going to take advantage of you, just let them go. Better loneliness than bad company.
You can travel the world !! The world is your family.. Go and Adopt a kid if you really need a family
Here is something I have not heard about at all:
Why does anybody really care about the decline in marriage rates?
I mean, really care.
Can someone logically explain this panic?
And to the woman in the vid who asks about finding a man in LA who has his shit together?
That statement alone speaks volumes on why people arent getting married.
Just an observation.
MGTOW (Men going their own way)
I don't want to get married because I don't want to have to share.
I'm 42 years old and I never got married nor do I have kids. That life is not for me.
do you still living with your parents???
Nabil Tohoin No, I live by myself. My parents passed away. My father of a heart attack in 2003 and my mother of colon cancer in 2011. It's very sad knowing that my parents are not around anymore.
how many siblings do you have sir,do they married???do you live with your parents before???
1 sister 39 years old single. I used to live with my parents until they both died. I used to take care of my parents, always driving them to doctor appointments and stuff like that.
now you only meet your younger sister often more
the young turks never have men on the show.. this panel of 4 women wondering about marriage bores me.
MightyMessenger777 haha yep, the young jerks are embarrassing.

There was 2 men and 2 women. You either are blind or just plain stupid. Than again, most right wingers are.
3rd wave feminism. I've saved you 5 mins of your life.
Will it end in our lifetime?
*MGTOW.*
many women do not pass a cost/benefit test. MGTOW !
Admiral Akbar described marriage the best when he said.."It's a trap!"
I don't need the government to licence, acknowledge, or condone my relationships.
getting married is not "manning up"
You are correct about that, as a matter of fact getting married is "dumbing down".
Its also clearly a reaction to feminist bullying and legalised theft from men, which we euphamistically call 'marriage'. Fewer marriages = men getting wise!
Other possible reasons that weren't mentioned: 1) people are aging more slowly; 2) the internet has exposed people to more opportunities; 3) technology makes it easy to find dates; 4) cheap access to porn; 5) expanded opportunities for women in the workplace.
I've never been married. But at my job I feel pressured. Why does my job tries interfere with my personal life? I'm also being stalked and forced into situations that interfere with my will.
AT 59 I can only say you get one maybe two shots to find a great partner. Don't delay making a selection, it is a fatal mistake. There is no security folks. If you find the right person, go for it. You most likely won't get a second chance. Do I regret staying single?
It wasn't my choice, I never had what women wanted so they ignored me totally. In retrospect I never had to deal with divorce. Maybe I came out ahead.
Thanks Londo--great advice--problem is I have colon cancer stage 3, I can rarely leave the house today. I'm too weak for the gym now.
Am. women have no interest in men over 55.
At 59 I'm really concerned with what women want. We have a declining culture and both sexes are suffering a lot as a result.
Consider Yourself Very lucky To Be MGTOW. 59 Years a Free man and Not a Slave on The Marriage Plantation.
I hear that a lot, marriage is not what it used to be for either sex. How very sad for us all.
Feminism is killing the tradition.
Great job ladies. Forever alone.
And of course it's "man's fault."
Because marriage has become extremely demanding for the men. One hundred and fifty years ago marriage doesn't have anything to do with love, just existing as partners until women let lose their emotional disaster and involve their so called love into it..
She’s talking about man up as if it’s easy for men if they get divorced everything goes to her. It’s always a 1 way street and it’s always men to blame
When I think about getting married, I feel like my throat is constricting. *shudders*
"Screw it, lets just live together." best wedding proposal ever....
Hello Anna, do you have a couple of minutes to talk about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?
hello family guy
deenman23 HERETIC. The Spagheti monster sent his only son meatball to die for your sins. BURN WITCH. BBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
He said banana
Jesus Christ The Musical?
This is America, even the people living under rocks know about Jesus here.
They absolutely have no idea what they're talking about.
Mgtow is winning!
Yup!
If you went skydiving and when they handed you a parachute they said, "it's great fun, but 50% of the time our parachutes don't open" Would you still jump?
I'm going to be a 28 year old in America that will have shit together...I hope I will be rewarded with a woman I was never entitled to even though I've worked hard and genuinely tried to make every romantic opportunity I had work. Even if I'm in shape and make more than 70 grand a year, I'm not attractive enough for any "woman" to want to sacrifice a goddamn thing to make an adult relationship work. People forgot how to compromise to facilitate a long-term relationship and thereby marriage.
ACC7386
Absolute bullshit, don't you try to pass the buck.
There are plenty of willing women out there this very instant and the only reason you're not with one right now has fuck all to do with them and everything to do with you. You should be asking yourself what you're doing to repel them away and here's a hint: you're _entitled_ to jack shit. Even if you disagree, such language is going to repel practically every woman you meet with few exceptions.
"I was never entitled to" ... I think you misunderstood what I said.
ACC7386
No I really didn't. You were never _entitled_ to a woman just like no one else was _entitled_ to one. Similarly how no woman is _entitled_ to any man.
I never said I was, let alone anyone was...what.
Why does feminism entail using an argument against a person they embedded a statement to explicitly say that's not what they're saying? Like, I really don't understand how associating the word "reward" with "long-term relationship" makes me a bad person and not simply vulnerable to human psychology. Seriously, I'm not a misogynistic asshole; I've just stated I failed and there's an extrinsic reason contributing to my failure. My individual responsibility and psychological health, which albeit is most of why I probably am not married, is entirely separate from that. Saying that shouldn't take that much elaboration in a youtube comments section.
The idea that people are not getting married because a wedding is to expensive is stupid. You can have a cheap wedding that is still super nice. I know because I have been to them. Its really because of religion getting less and less popular, women are starting to focus on their careers more, and probably the biggest reason is because divorce rates are so high men don't wanna pop the question since they will lose pretty much all their shit in the divorce.
Yes jugz is back!
hahaha this shouldnt have made me laugh as much as it did
God, those things are... I got nothing. Bouncy!
BoomBriggs Yeah my wife has commented on that before.
Thumbs up

While his remark is a bit crude, can you please explain how it's in any way misogynistic?
Why buy the cow when the cow is just going to refuse to give you any milk period?
And no milk the rest of the month, either.
Someone find me a woman under 28 who isn't a crazy wreck, am I right?
MGTOW for 6 years now & luvin it :D
I am with my girl, and we said we will wait for 4 years.
We can still live together and have all the pleasures and joy and when we are ready I will pop the question.
she's gonna say fuck no
Find someone that makes you happy and treats you right and that's all that really matters. You don't need a piece of paper from the courthouse to tell you who is right in your life. I wish you the best.
SugaryCoyote Why thank you.
I hope the best in your future mate and I'm sure if you haven't found you true love yet, I positive you will find your partner and treat them right.
Cute story
Dill kirwan Thanks
The married life never really appealed to me, I want to live a life of true freedom with no kids or wife to hold me down, even though society and my family (who are all divorced including my parents) will look down on me for not being married by 28, some people just need to understand that marriage is not for everyone, my uncle who is 57 was never married and he is successful has a nice house and is very social and happy even though my family look down on him for never being married and yet he is the most successful and happy/carefree person in my family who are all divorced and married more than once lol.
The reason people are not getting married is because the government is involved in the marriage business. Get the government out of the marriage business and people will get married again.
In France and Germany minimum 60% of babies are born out of wedlock, in UK it is 50%. Personally, as an a English lady who looks Indian, I would never opt for legal marriage, just religious ceremony to retain focus on what is important and no legal baggage. But thinking about when to do it and if just messes with my head so I may just be happy living as common law wife and husband and having kids.
The average American wedding budget - $ 27,000. Every fifth wedding costs more than $ 30,000, and one in eight - more than 40,000. This is the answer on this problem
