I have been married 26 years, I adore my wife. I DO NOT recommend that any man ever get married, unless marriage laws are changed to make them fair for men.
After my divorce, and good fleecing by the women's court system, I started looking for ways to protect myself from a divorce if I were to get married again. At best, with a ton of work, you can protect some assets. If you are W2 worker, you are screwed. Retirement is no different. Have a pension, the judge smiles as it's going to be her pension. Did she earn it? No. Gets it for being present. The contract defines our role as nothing more than a labor and wage slave as well as her target for emotional abuse. In divorce, the court sees you as her indentured servant. Stay single. Get your cords cut.
I am a woman and was married for 18 years I wouldn't do it again a complete control freak. If he was foreign he would have taken my children away from me. All the best to everybody on this page❤❤❤
Yes, I completely agree. After a divorce where I lost primary custody of my children, alimony for 6 years then child support for a decade plus lost over 50% of everything I owned it won't happen again. And amazingly just like this video suggested the divorce happened at those peak income years.
Marriage used to be a sacred commitment. Today, it's merely a formal contract in a world where your marriage success rate is less than 50/50. I retired at 48 and live a very comfortable and happy blessed life where if I get bored I book a trip to somewhere. I'm 56. I'm single. No kids. I will never marry. I value my freedom.
Marriage is not even a contract, in the eyes of the law, at least in Florida. One of the terms of the contract is no adultery. And yet, if a woman commits adultery and thus violates the terms of the contract, she still gets the benefits of the divorce: alimony, a cut of the shared property, and so forth.
Yes I was hearing these odds many years ago. Let me put it this way. I probably need back surgery for the pain I'm in. Surgeon (to his credit) says I'd have a 50/50 chance of being better post op'. That of course means theres just as much chance of coming out of it worse. Hence... I'll deal with the pain I've got. No way I'll risk it getting worse. Let's face it, even 60/40 wouldn't see most rational people rushing into it. Once I start hearing odds of at least 70/30 I'll stay where I am thanks.
Great Topic !!!!! Marriage is a financial minefield for the husband come divorce time he looses almost everything and sometimes can never recover If I had my time over again I would never had got married , as I get older I realise there is very little upside to marriage .Want companionship ? Buy a dog Yes I am bitter and twisted ! Keep up the good work
My son watched me struggle during my divorce to his mom of 30 years due to her infidelity, substance issues, and demands despite those being documented. He has told me he will never… How can I blame him?
Women hold 80 percent of the world's debt and initiate 70 percent of all divorce actions in the U.S. The odds of getting divorced in America are about 50/50 and if you get divorced and there are children from the marriage the man is virtually guaranteed to lose HALF of his life savings and property in the women’s court system and be on the hook for child support and possible alimony for decades. A middle class man with an above average income can very easily end up living in a van down by the river while his ex-wife lounges in their comfortable home at his expense. The odds of all this happening to men is literally the same as a coin toss. Let that sink in.
@kevinp7620 Bare minimum. Cook daily because you'd want your children to have home cooked meals Clean because DUH Not a garden tool because it lowers pair bonding Stay around the size you were because duh Crazy how you ask to have marriageable defined like it's that difficult to understand what we mean.
I saw this shit happening back in the early '80s when I was a teenager. Decided back then I didn't want to get married, and never did. I'm now pushing retirement age, and will be able to do so very comfortably, because my finances are completely intact. No losing everything in divorces. No having to put kids through college. I kept all my assets.
Odds in marriage are against men: First Marriage 48% divorce rate Second Marriage 69% divorce rate Third Marriage 80% divorce rate Do you see a pattern?
The purpose of marriage is divorce. Women and the state profit from divorce. They are incentivised to marry and incentivised to divorce. They are the ones who want to get married they are the ones who want to get divorced.
I have been married for 19 years. My wife wants my mother to come live with us, as my mom is not in good shape. My wife will not hear of her going to a nursing home. We have been through thick and thin together. I think I got the 1 in a million.
I had multiple marriages to American women and finally got smart, became a passport bro and married my age-appropriate wife of 12 years who was from Cebu Philippines. She was not an instant match. I screened through dozens before I found her. Deal breaker for me was the first lie I was told no matter what it was about.
I hate liars.....You can't believe ANYTHING they say........ that's another reason i hate trump.....he won't stop telling lies....has to be a mental problem....
I’ve been one of the fortunate ones. 35 years and incredibly strong commitment and effort by both individuals. I recognize the rarity of my marriage and relationship. As my wife’s health is in the decline, we both anticipate her to pass before me. I sure would struggle to even want to “find” another love. I don’t believe it to be fair for the next candidate to try and walk in my wife’s shoes.
We’ve been married 42 years and often talk about what it will be like for the one that is left behind. We both want the other person to find loving companionship if they can.
I was married to one too. I survived the divorce. She went after me and our kids when she saw us doing good without her. Her affair partner is an alcoholic. He was on dialysis but got a kidney transplant. I am surprised he is still alive.
Marriage isn’t a death sentence just for older men. It’s deadly for all men of all ages. Divorce laws are engineered by feminists to destroy men. That’s not only marriage, all encounters with women are legally dangerous. Any man that encounters a woman is one quarrel away from having his life destroyed.
Been married for 37 yrs now ,good or bad times but I worry about my son now 24 he’s not married and we’re not pressuring him because finding a good woman are uncertain so I tell him just date wear a condom because a bad marriage or relationship will make your life a living hell. Marriage is a huge gamble today.
I lost HALF my nest egg 31 years ago. Divorced ever since; love women but DO NOT TRUST them to their core. Besides, had I known TWO things, that my wife was previously married, and REMARRIED the same guy AFTER me…I never would’ve done two things: Get married, or been so reasonable in the divorce following. LESSONS learned all around.
@@UncleBaldy He has been so forgotten and disparaged, though he used to be so huge and disparaged. Honestly I miss the guy. He was a yuppie-worshipping arse, far from always anything like a nice guy, but extremely sharp and funny.
Been happily married 46 years and no regrets but my hearing is not so good anymore, 🤣🤣🤣. Seriously though we worked together pretty well as a team and are now financial comfortable in retirement. Both our kids are also happily married. Good luck out there.
Been through thr divorce wringer twice never ever again have nt dated since 2015 no regrets marriage offers men nothing . The risk of loss financially mentally emotionally physically for men leaving marriage is huge its just not worth the risk .
Mark has all the facts and real reasons why more men (especially Western men) are giving up on marriage and becoming "Passport Bros"! Feminism, entitled attitudes, horrible divorce laws, etc are all contributing to men escaping to better situations in The Philippines, Thailand, Mexico, etc...
And just for clarification men: You aren't a passport bro if you find and bring a woman back to the West. You are simply lacking intelligence or life experience.
Good topic. Between 17 and 32 i had so much sex with married women in the west its insane Got disgusted after i realised it wasnt fun no more and settled down in ph. 36 years old. Annoying part is, im starting to see the same thing in PH now due to social media. Went to duma and got the f*me eyes from so many young woman who was with their old man it was crazy. Society is getting shit.
Women have always been like this. They try to level up and find new opportunities. The only difference is social media and society tells them it's perfectly acceptable behavior now.
Once a country begins to collapse due to the inequality to men in divorce court, the system will then begin to give incentives for men to get married. By that time….good luck!
My daughter is married for 18 yrs now with the same guy.She works in the clinic and he’s a detective and they don’t have kids.They called themselves DINKS.Double Income No KIDS.They live together for 5 yrs before they got married
@@CheckYourPremises She can choose to divorce him at any time, if it happens close to or after retirement, he will not have enough time left to recover financially. He will never own a house or even a car, he will have to return to work. It is called Grey Divorce.
@@bitteroldman701 Exactly. The longer she stays with him the more shit he will lose. If it happens after he hits 50, he is pretty much done for the rest of his life. That's how the system works.
I was in my mid-50s when she decided to leave. I'm actually happier now, being single. I've never considered re marriage even though she did. Her husband had a stroke and is confined to a wheelchair. She took early retirement from her job to take care of him. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.🌞🏝
No, just a life sentence. It's not marriage that's bad, per se. It's the American legal system. He gets some sex for a while, if he is lucky, she gets a fat income for life. If he looks for solace elsewhere, she gets double that lifetime income. Then, double THAT for child support. The rules are simple: women good, men bad, women get it all.
Everything you said is the truth. I'm 52, never married and no kids. By default, life is difficult so why make it harder by risking your mental, emotional and financial health?
My grandparents divorced, my parents divorced, so I always feared to try myself. Now I am alone at 60, a little scared, but very happy for the most part. It would have been nice to experience a meaningful marriage, but the visible risk during my lifetime that marriage represents makes that just impossible.
All I can say the government don’t talk about this situation is happening. Uncontested divorce, women can get away for their bad behaviour. And who is paying for it? Men! Is marriage worth it? Hell no!
It kinda sucks hearing the usual red pill facts being repeated by someone i really respect, because it's sinking in how it is and there's no escaping it
My parents divorced when I was four. My dad ran off with the other woman and raised her two boys. M mom and I dud not get a penny or a visit frm him for 17 years.
Superb video, and summary of facts, Mark. The shocker was how much debt woman have!! I used to know a hard-working pipeline welder that made big bucks out in the field welding pipelines; His wife divorced him, kept the two kids, and looked forward to big monthly alimony: so this guy sold everything remaining, quit his career, and just did odd jobs for cash. Wow, was she mad at him then!
~ Text-Wall Incoming ~ I'm divorced, and I can confirm everything you've said is 100% facts. To the single men I say, this information is invaluable, I wish I would have heard it when I was younger, it would have saved me a lot of wasted time and effort, and a lot of frustration and heartbreak..... women have an almost predatory nature. I'm not saying they are good or evil, I'm just saying they've evolved to Survive. And we've been programmed to protect them. And they know it, use it, and abuse it. I am glad to see men waking up and putting out the truth of the current situation with "no fault divorce", women's hypergamy, and female nature. They've told us to our face that we're the problem and they don't need us. It's about time we renegotiated our role in society, based on our true worth, not the feverish ranting of blue haired man haters. Without men, there is no civilization, we created it, we maintain it, and now we take a step back until they realize it to. TLDR: Relax, don't do it, when you ..... etc.
I read the Comments. One fellow wrote: "There’s a lot of appeal to statistics here, mixed with a cup of over-generalization and a dash of fantasy. I met my wife in college and knew pretty quickly that I wanted to be with her. We dated and got engaged over the next two years in school, and were married after we graduated. After 55 years of marriage, she died of cancer earlier this year. Moral: trust your gut when it comes to individuals, and happy endings are possible." I wrote in Reply: “Respectfully, I believe Mark is speaking about marriage TODAY. Nearly everything about dating and relationships in our culture has changed over the past 50 years. One would have to be willfully blind not to see it. Most of my male friends have been married for decades and they simply do NOT understand this. I have been single for the past dozen years. I have firsthand experience with modern dating in America. It stinks. I have also had experience with dating in Southeast Asia. It's better. Much better. Yes, happy endings are possible. But not likely. And that's exactly what the statistics demonstrate. Statistics are NOT fantasy. They are far more reliable than opinions - even your own. Please don't make the mistake of giving your 'gut' more credit than it deserves. The fact is: You were fortunate, that's all. Most men are not so fortunate. Condolences on your loss. You can be grateful every day for what you had. And you don’t ever have to remarry in the USA - no matter what your 'gut' may tell you!”
American women seem to be the big negative. Would you buy a car that has high mileage a faulty engine management system and is sold at a very high price.
This is too true, in Australia also, and probably the rest of the western world. Women have always been the one who can pick and choose. The online women who say they want a good man is a load of shit.
If you're about to enter into any sort of relationship with a woman the first thing you need to do is pull a hard credit report on her to find out exactly how much she owes and to whom. Even if you're not getting married there's a lot of ways for that woman to saddle you with part if not all her debt.
Not worth getting married today woman expect a prince who will pay for everything and let her take control In today's economic environment r moment a couple both need c to work due to house prices or rent If a guy gose through a bad patch she dumps jim becouse he is off no use to her Family court system is all about looking after the woman If a guy stays single works and saves he could retire a lot younger if he isint married
I’ve been unhappily married for most of 35 years. If I could go back to a time before 1989, I wouldn’t go near the woman I married. I know the standard question: Why didn’t you (or don’t you) just get divorced? I would need to write a tome.
My advice to my youngest son was never live with a woman and only marry after the age of 50. The woman you marry must be financially and spiritually equal.
Marriage: from the Bible, it was set up for one man and one woman. Originally, it was handled by the church. Once we allowed the government in...today it's open season to marry anyone, anytime, anywhere and any species. There's your trouble! We have sold our souls to the evil one! Return marriage to the church. Wth? Love was not part of marriage? That's jaded! Do what you must do during this life- knowing your eternity will be only one of 2 places: Heaven or Hell! God bless❤🙏
When I was in elementary school I read a classic Chinese literature book about bad marriages. It was actually a satire of political situations in Ming Dynasty that I didn’t realize. I got a bad taste in my mouth about marriage. Watching my parents marriage wasn’t helping to overcome the bad taste. I am retired and remain single. Marriage can work between two maturing and compassionate adults with common goals. I saw decent marriages amongst ppl I know in my life. However the chance of having a partner who doesn’t want to stay is mighty high. I have high level of risk aversion therefore I’d rather not chance it. Being single is not necessarily better; it’s just a different lifestyle. Stop envy or bitterness would help with creating positive energy.
Yeah that sounds about right I got divorced 9 years ago, the marriage lasted 7 years, it ended after 7 years because I found out my wife had a boyfriend😢
Of course it's a dying institution--it's been dying for a long, long time. The fact of the matter is that as soon as a society permits divorce, that society destroys marriage. There's no reason anymore to be careful about your choice of a spouse, and so most people are not.
Ah, the invisible hand of the market comes to marriage. There is a surplus of women so of course they are willing to share a man. My question is why a guy would want two full time spouses.
Women are close to 100% of the problems in marriages and relationships. Many times after divorcing their husband they come crawling back many years later. I've got 2 ex's doing exactly that. Both alcoholics. And one was in jail for almost a year for not showing up in court for a DUI arrest. So when women say "I don't need no man" it's laughable.
I have been married 26 years, I adore my wife. I DO NOT recommend that any man ever get married, unless marriage laws are changed to make them fair for men.
Married for 33 years, I had a stroke and she filed for divorce. Don't do it!
Some guys get lucky, and the marriage lasts. However, I got burned 30 years ago. I couldn't afford to take the risk a second time.
I thought I was lucky, but after 20 years; it ain't so, looking back those 20 years of marriage was detrimental for my health and my finance.
@@tdgdbs1 You went into marriage based on a false expectation re: the finance bit.

Everything you said is the truth. I'm 52, never married and no kids. By default, life is difficult so why make it harder by risking your mental, emotional and financial health?
Well, women kept their end of the bargain they never loved you to begin with just as an entertainer, protector, provider and sucker
My grandparents divorced, my parents divorced, so I always feared to try myself. Now I am alone at 60, a little scared, but very happy for the most part. It would have been nice to experience a meaningful marriage, but the visible risk during my lifetime that marriage represents makes that just impossible.
Wisest words I've ever heard on relationships and marriages.
Not all the gorgeous women online are quite what they seem 🙂
Great message. Thanks so much 🙏🏽
All I can say the government don’t talk about this situation is happening. Uncontested divorce, women can get away for their bad behaviour. And who is paying for it? Men! Is marriage worth it? Hell no!
It kinda sucks hearing the usual red pill facts being repeated by someone i really respect, because it's sinking in how it is and there's no escaping it
Its true tho, ive lived it and I didnt even know about red pill that time.
I've got a few single friends and they have no plans on getting married ever again too much drama and too expensive and things don't work out
My parents divorced when I was four. My dad ran off with the other woman and raised her two boys. M mom and I dud not get a penny or a visit frm him for 17 years.
single since age 38, life is fabulous, now retired
Superb video, and summary of facts, Mark. The shocker was how much debt woman have!! I used to know a hard-working pipeline welder that made big bucks out in the field welding pipelines; His wife divorced him, kept the two kids, and looked forward to big monthly alimony: so this guy sold everything remaining, quit his career, and just did odd jobs for cash. Wow, was she mad at him then!
~ Text-Wall Incoming ~ I'm divorced, and I can confirm everything you've said is 100% facts. To the single men I say, this information is invaluable, I wish I would have heard it when I was younger, it would have saved me a lot of wasted time and effort, and a lot of frustration and heartbreak..... women have an almost predatory nature. I'm not saying they are good or evil, I'm just saying they've evolved to Survive. And we've been programmed to protect them. And they know it, use it, and abuse it. I am glad to see men waking up and putting out the truth of the current situation with "no fault divorce", women's hypergamy, and female nature. They've told us to our face that we're the problem and they don't need us. It's about time we renegotiated our role in society, based on our true worth, not the feverish ranting of blue haired man haters. Without men, there is no civilization, we created it, we maintain it, and now we take a step back until they realize it to.
TLDR: Relax, don't do it, when you ..... etc.
Marriage is like taking on a new/used car salesman for a life partner, good luck with that
I read the Comments. One fellow wrote: "There’s a lot of appeal to statistics here, mixed with a cup of over-generalization and a dash of fantasy. I met my wife in college and knew pretty quickly that I wanted to be with her. We dated and got engaged over the next two years in school, and were married after we graduated. After 55 years of marriage, she died of cancer earlier this year. Moral: trust your gut when it comes to individuals, and happy endings are possible."
I wrote in Reply: “Respectfully, I believe Mark is speaking about marriage TODAY. Nearly everything about dating and relationships in our culture has changed over the past 50 years. One would have to be willfully blind not to see it.
Most of my male friends have been married for decades and they simply do NOT understand this. I have been single for the past dozen years. I have firsthand experience with modern dating in America. It stinks. I have also had experience with dating in Southeast Asia. It's better. Much better.
Yes, happy endings are possible. But not likely. And that's exactly what the statistics demonstrate.
Statistics are NOT fantasy. They are far more reliable than opinions - even your own.
Please don't make the mistake of giving your 'gut' more credit than it deserves. The fact is: You were fortunate, that's all. Most men are not so fortunate.
Condolences on your loss. You can be grateful every day for what you had. And you don’t ever have to remarry in the USA - no matter what your 'gut' may tell you!”
Once is enough.
American women seem to be the big negative. Would you buy a car that has high mileage a faulty engine management system and is sold at a very high price.
This is too true, in Australia also, and probably the rest of the western world. Women have always been the one who can pick and choose. The online women who say they want a good man is a load of shit.
Originally marriage was meant to bring two families together and was practical and you didn't decide on your wife
In the US? Yes. The good news is that men have figured it out & the MGTOW movement was born. Followed up by Passport Bros.
Very wise report, good !
If you're about to enter into any sort of relationship with a woman the first thing you need to do is pull a hard credit report on her to find out exactly how much she owes and to whom. Even if you're not getting married there's a lot of ways for that woman to saddle you with part if not all her debt.
For most people a relationship needs balance of power. The government created laws that break that system.
Spot on Mark.
Not worth getting married today woman expect a prince who will pay for everything and let her take control
In today's economic environment r moment a couple both need c to work due to house prices or rent
If a guy gose through a bad patch she dumps jim becouse he is off no use to her
Family court system is all about looking after the woman
If a guy stays single works and saves he could retire a lot younger if he isint married
I’ve been unhappily married for most of 35 years. If I could go back to a time before 1989, I wouldn’t go near the woman I married. I know the standard question: Why didn’t you (or don’t you) just get divorced? I would need to write a tome.
Very good video and excellent information
Nice video!
Very accurate!
Good talk Sir 👍🏼
My advice to my youngest son was never live with a woman and only marry after the age of 50. The woman you marry must be financially and spiritually equal.
50? Ridiculous. By that age, you are too set in your ways to learn to be married.
I'm not afraid of marriage, I'm afraid of divorce.
I did'nt get married to find out how much shit I could put up with.
How true it is.
Yep, sounds about right 😞
I chose to divorce my wife ( she was 2 years older than me but a whining businesswoman) :
Worth it.
Yes it is.
They say love is blind but, that doesn’t mean you have to live in the institution for the blind.
Women hold 80% of the worlds debt? If that's not enough to stay single I don't know what is.
Best one you've ever put out 👍
Marriage: from the Bible, it was set up for one man and one woman. Originally, it was handled by the church. Once we allowed the government in...today it's open season to marry anyone, anytime, anywhere and any species. There's your trouble! We have sold our souls to the evil one! Return marriage to the church. Wth? Love was not part of marriage? That's jaded! Do what you must do during this life- knowing your eternity will be only one of 2 places: Heaven or Hell! God bless❤🙏
I wanted to agree with you, but my wife said that I wasn't allowed to.
When I was in elementary school I read a classic Chinese literature book about bad marriages. It was actually a satire of political situations in Ming Dynasty that I didn’t realize. I got a bad taste in my mouth about marriage. Watching my parents marriage wasn’t helping to overcome the bad taste. I am retired and remain single. Marriage can work between two maturing and compassionate adults with common goals. I saw decent marriages amongst ppl I know in my life. However the chance of having a partner who doesn’t want to stay is mighty high. I have high level of risk aversion therefore I’d rather not chance it. Being single is not necessarily better; it’s just a different lifestyle. Stop envy or bitterness would help with creating positive energy.
Lol. Once you realize it's all a dream, you don't need a partner or a marriage.
If I ever consider get married, I'll just find a woman I don't get along with and buy her a house
62 & Single ….I Couldn’t Share …..Will See…
Without any doubt. Yes.
Gentlemen do not ever get married. He is correct
Yeah that sounds about right I got divorced 9 years ago, the marriage lasted 7 years, it ended after 7 years because I found out my wife had a boyfriend😢
married for 31 years to the same philapina ,my brother same wife since 1971 don't think chivalry is dead
Oh yes, it’s dead. Just ask my ex of 30 years after she tried to monkey branch to a former friend of mine. Caught her and still had to pay
its a walking death for women .50 years and past 10 a living hell.he wont go!
New friend from Canada 🇨🇦
Of course it's a dying institution--it's been dying for a long, long time. The fact of the matter is that as soon as a society permits divorce, that society destroys marriage. There's no reason anymore to be careful about your choice of a spouse, and so most people are not.
Ah, the invisible hand of the market comes to marriage. There is a surplus of women so of course they are willing to share a man. My question is why a guy would want two full time spouses.
Women are close to 100% of the problems in marriages and relationships. Many times after divorcing their husband they come crawling back many years later. I've got 2 ex's doing exactly that. Both alcoholics. And one was in jail for almost a year for not showing up in court for a DUI arrest. So when women say "I don't need no man" it's laughable.
