TRP seems to warn men against marriage. They point to divorce rates but if you look at the trends,

the US divorce rate began falling in the early 1990s and has since continued on an overall downward trend. In 1992, there were 4.8 divorces per 1,000 population. By 2016, this had dropped to 3.2.

So people who are getting married are staying married increasingly. Why are they staying married? Fear of losing wealth? losing custody?

From the surveys I have seen, divorce does not make them happier. I don't see any evidence that people are staying in unhappy marriages in large numbers. Most report mostly being very happy.

the study found no evidence that unhappily married adults who divorced were typically any happier than unhappily married people who stayed married. Even more dramatically, the researchers also found that two-thirds of unhappily married spouses who stayed married reported that their marriages were happy five years later. In addition, the most unhappy marriages reported the most dramatic turnarounds: among those who rated their marriages as very unhappy, almost eight out of 10 who avoided divorce were happily married five years later.

Most people who have time for TRP are usually educated, middle class or up. So specifically for your demographic what is the divorce rate? is like 30% or less?

So fear of divorce also comes with questions of alimony, child support. I think most people who think so much about gender and dating will pick a person who will be moral enough to agree to whatever is best for the child. Shared custody is possible, I don't think TRP men don't want to pay child support.

You can have prenups if you are that rich, but with women earning a lot nowadays they are the ones who should be increasingly scared of being taken to court.

So I am curious, for men here who would like kids in an ideal world. What exactly is the reason you avoid marriage? If you do...
