No benefits, plenty of drawbacks, you smart.. ;-)

Vegetable_Ad1732 · 2024-01-03T04:52:45+00:00

Ok, there's plenty of benefits - FOR WOMEN! LMAO

Marriage is a bad deal for men these days.

If you don't wanna get married, that's fine. But make that clear very early on during dating, and don't date a woman who does want marriage but is clearly holding out hope that you'll change your mind about it. That's how YOU become an asshole and end up creating misandrist women which doesn't help anyone.

I wonder if she cooked and cleaned in the hopes you would marry her, and how fast she would stop doing those things after she had you by the nuts by law.

Kids do better in pretty much every measurable way when they grow up in a stable home with both parents. Married couples tend to be more stable than non-married ones. So if raising kids the best you can is at the top of your list of life goals, marriage might make sense.

If it's not, there's really no point. The plot has mostly been lost with marriage. Historically, it seems to have been a useful thing as a society/culture to provide some stability and foster children. Children are the future and civilizations that took care of them out-competed those that didn't.

Each side got some perks (but also responsibilities). Women got security after her youth and looks were gone (which they still want). Marriage gave her some protection against him ditching her for a younger woman. The bottom 80% of men got paired off and got some action and a chance to have kids. Marriage and monogamy gave some assurance that the kids were actually his. The top guys had to give up some of their ability to have some kind of harem or mistress, etc. but it helped motive the bottom 80% and head off them becoming rebellious or driftless.

The risks of marriage far outweigh the benefits of marriage. The difference is so vast that in fact there seem to be close to zero benefits for marriage. People get married because Marriage is just the thing to do, to make it official with a long term girlfriend, but if it were analyzed deeply it is nothing but a liability for men with massive repercussions, and doesn't provide a safety net for men like it does for women, quite the opposite actually. If marriage was invented today for example no man would do it.

Men are romantic; love is something that a lot of us wanted and felt were the only thing we needed from our wives. We don’t need much to feel fulfilled either, happy family with a beautiful wife was what drove most of us to push ourselves.

I can honestly say now, I believe that this is a crock of bullshit and we need to change our view on relationships. This maybe an unpopular opinion but being a little more pessimistic towards your relationship will help make sure you aren’t ruined when a break up happens (if it does). I don’t see women as angels, they are normal human beings who make mistakes and at times they’re absolute cunts to be around, I find this helps remove the rose tinted lenses from my eyes and I see them for what they are rather than what they could be.

There is not one single benefit for the man to get married.

And as you mention, there are thousands of reasons that marriage is bad for a man.

ecksman313 · 2024-01-03T19:22:25+00:00

Avoid marriage at all costs!!! It's just a meal ticket for women. They don't want the man. They want the ring, the princess for a day wedding ceremony and someone to boss around and spend up his money for a while, until the next guy comes around that she will leave you for. And when that next guy comes around, guess who'll be stuck with the bill?

In 1965 - a decade before no fault divorce came along - and when I was six I decided marriage was a muggs game for men. The writing was on the wall nearly sixty years ago.

Bokoman91 · 2024-01-03T08:00:50+00:00

paying rent fully is above cost to hire cleaners and someone to cook food for you daily , marriage should be equal between two individuals and apparently she doesn't provide anything except you love her . Love isn't enough to justify marriage

Angryasfk · 2024-01-03T08:12:48+00:00

It’s a case of commitment. So I can see a point.

But in many jurisdictions (including the one I live in) living with a woman as long as you did, and with the relationship you had, you’d be subject to the same level of divorce rape that you would if you’d married her.

So watch out.

Religious ceremony yes, legal marriage no.

Sad_Inevitable7495 · 2024-01-03T21:15:07+00:00

Unless there are religious reasons, its meaningless.

I am married, for my wife is a devout christian. We both agreed we dont want the state in our affairs, and that we want the religious ceremony, and abide by the religious laws (catholic).

In this country ( a slavic fountry in Europe ) marriage used to be purelly a religious thing.

Still, if I was in the US, no fucking way without signing so many agreements/prenup/etc together as to void the influence of the state entirelly.

The benefit is that you spend thousands of dollars you earned on a ring for someone else while not receiving a gift back, pay for a wedding where society deems it "her special day" even though you're both getting married, and get raped by a sexist legal system.

Imagine you got married to this snake who left because you wouldn't marry her, and she decided to leave you for another arbitrary reason after you were married?

Marriage with the right person is so great. Being married makes me want to live longer. But if it's not the right person, something will always be missing. You can pretend, you can fool around - but it's going to be more difficult. It'll probably work, but it's better to wait for the right person.

Import hot feminine wives from non-feminazi countries.

Killa_t10 · 2024-01-04T17:38:15+00:00

In the west i.e USA, Canada, Australia and parts of western Europe marriage only benefits the women and a lot of toxic modern day women realize this and use it to their advantage.
