That's still too much.

MGTOWesque ideas seem to be really gaining mainstream traction judging by the anti-marriage sentiment in the comments. More and more men are realising that marriage is a raw deal.

Here's hoping it gets lower still.

Probably not because of the MGTOW movement though. The breakdowns are likely from people who are willing to sacrifice their selves and compromise with unreasonable women.

It's not like there even is a middle class anymore.

You're either upper class, or you're one pay cut or job loss away from the poor house. In fact, most of the middle class makes less than the "poor" who live off government benefits.

Upper class also generally doesn't watch TV and puts a lot of pressure on women not to be sluts and not to get divorced. A few still sneak through, but there is a real difference in "class" and attitudes for women based on that.

Can't wait to see the institution of marriage rot and die, sadly that might never happen but this is a good trend.

Good. The downward trend in marriage should fuel even more downward trending as social pressure to marry decreases. As more people are forgoing marriage, it will be easier for others to skip it as well.

Was walking downtown the other day and saw a couple taking wedding pictures in front of a historical building. The woman def had hard core RBF. So, I started coughing the whole "Don't do it!" and the look the RBF gave me was awesome. Hope after he gets divorced raped, he thinks back and says "Man I wish I would have listened the that random stranger walking down the street"
