It must be because men are not willing to "man up." It's always men's fault they're slowly not as much of a group of suckers as they used to be over the last few decades.

Chicago Tribune syndicated advice columnist Amy Dickinson believes the increase in no-fault divorces and tougher child support laws are two reasons behind the falling popularity of married life in America.

Yup, pretty much. Used to be people stuck together and got over their problems to put the child first. Now one just leaves and has the government steal money from the other's pocket.

Feminists love divorce. It shifts money from men to women on a grand societal scale.

Marriage is a money scam. Don't be a part of it because you're the one getting scammed. If women are supposed to be so damn independent now they can do without enjoying the benefits of shared health insurance, tax cuts and an alimony safety net. I've turned down marriage twice on principle after seeing it financially ruin too many good men.

Men are feeling insecure, and quite rightly so, given the misandric nature of western society, and the female-biased laws in the west.

Who loses?

Children.

Who loses when children lose?

All of us.

We're living in a fucked up time, and its going to take a long time to right this ship.

Men aren't allowed to be equal partners in relationships anymore. Not EVEN in relationships are we equal let alone marriage.

I reckon this is how the women want it too. So there's not much men can do other than withdraw and turn our backs on females. Well except for the pronging and banging all those loose birth controlled up party girls. Hmm I guess that brings me to another reason. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

Davos and Bilderberg: "Mission Accomplished"

I have 2 sisters, 2 brothers. In every case they, would rather not be married in the first place. My male buddies, all but two are married, (ironically they want to get married), the rest absolutely freaking HATES it. they do not want to get a divorce because of the wealth transfer. Lose home, pay child/allimony support. Wives are a living money pit.

My case, I live with a girl 13 years younger than me. They are jealous, but I will not let another girl live with me. EVER. I have had this arrangement for years with other women, I find not a single one willing to pickup the bill of cost of living. They rather have me pay for it, and they get the benefits of a high standard of living.

After this relationship is gone, I am finding a small room, in a home, rent the room from an elderly couple, and saving all my money from my businesses to spend it on a yacht/boat. Then get the hell out of the US.

Marriage is a scam, and young men watch out. Women can smell money and latch on , pretend they actually care for you.

"There has been a realisation among college-educated Americans that marriage is actually a pretty good idea, even if they don't like to talk about it in public," argues Bradford Wilcox.

Sure as fuck not talking about my guys in my college.

It makes me laugh how the British look at America and say 'well! it is America!'.

They have no understanding that women are women, and men are men, anywhere in the world, and that America is simply further along the road of self-destruction than Britain.

But then the British think their comedy is better than American comedy (which isnt true).

They think their soccer is better than the rest of the world (which isnt true).

And on, and on.

Such snobishness, such denial of reality.

and Im British, and I fucking hate the place.
