Honest question for this sub

I know this sub isn't strictly anti-woman or anti-marriage necessarily

Of course it is anti-marriage. Lurk moar.

How can we deny a woman's place in a man's happiness?

Easy. A woman doesn't really have a place in a man's happiness. Can, but is really not necessary. There. See? Easy. And true, too. Truth is usually really easy. It's the hardness of the hamstering around that fact that's often misattributed to (lack of) happiness.

Does being a MGTOW mean

The idea is:

No marriage.
No co-hab.
The rest is up to the individual.

Counter question : how many women do you know that really don't want kids and are fit for marriage ?
And by not wanting kids I don't mean that they'll say they don't want kids and then suddenly get pregnant because they changed their mind on a whim and didn't tell you ...

How do these studies measure happiness? Cognitive dissonance is real, as is Stockholm syndrome, trauma bonding. Go read some of these studies and look very closely at the questions and what they measure

Say a claim like married men living longer, but what if that's based on single men dying doing what they love at a younger age, versus being a slave for 40 years

What if it's a Dunning Kruger like effect, and single people are harder on themselves for measuring happiness as they've had a wider spectrum of happiness vs, hey I got a blow job on my birthday

So divorced people are the unhappiest. We know that 50% of all first marriages end in divorce. 67% for second marriages.

Then there are all the marriages where people stay for the children or convenience/ duty etc. So while the happiest people may be married and child free, what is the ratio of those to the married people? It is certainly under 50%, you wouldn't sky dive with a parachute with a 50% failure rate. Why would we take that approach with marriage.

Take a look at the studies, specifically, how they were structured, who they contacted and how, the sample size, the methodology. A survey can be structured to get whatever results you want. For example, survey people on the street and ask if they are in favor of bringing in new businesses that will create over 100 new jobs and generate millions in new tax revenue. Most people would say yes. Go to churches and ask if people are in favor of bringing in liquor stores and liquor by the drink and most would say no. Both questions are asking about the same subject.

Who said a woman has a place?

Revelation time: You don't. The only difference is we never saw that ship sailing. Now we are not even at the harbor.

Happy thoughts 😊

Married childfree couples usually are newly wed couples, and in the honeymoon phase everyone is happy, After a while the honeymoon phase goes away, kids come, and the happyness fades.

Happiness comes from within. Placing one's happiness in someone else's hands usually has the opposite effect.
