Why were men reluctant to marry in ancient Rome?

There is never "as much as sex as they wanted with a loving spouse" back then, or today. It's all a game to women. That's why they lure you in with sex when you date, and then cut you off when they move in.

We can see how well shaming and coercing the Roman men turned out.

Well, "History repeats itself."

We are forced to hear feminist saying that marriage is just a tool used by men in order to exploit women,but in reality,when it comes to marriage men have always been getting the short end of the stick.

You know, in ancient Sparta, men were cucks then. If the husbands went to war, the woman were encouraged to mate with other males who were strong and had good genes, higher class Spartiates to keep the population strong and hearty. That way, if the husband died, they would still be able to produce more children. The thing is, many of them were still alive, so their wives were just fucking around on them. I'm sure not all of the "mating" was to produce children. That's why there have been whores and brothels since the beginning of time. Husbands were also kept away from their wives living in barracks until their 30's and then we're able to live with her.

People always think they can punish and shame men into making the sacrifice of marriage, but refuse to consider making it more attractive/worthwhile for them.

Holy Shit this needs to be a sticky post, because it just comes to show that this type of game is just insane.

Did they have MGTOW in ancient Rome? Maybe

Looks like men have been the ones historically oppressed and not women, whoops!
