But otherwise I feel nothing but disdain & jealousy because of the fact that you "way" older gentleman were able to have, at the very least the option to have had a family/marriage & fulfil that role as a husband and a father (before laws & common sense became so one sided).

It's like saying they were able to be first in line at the arsenic buffet.

The negatives existed at every point in human history. Modern day "no fault" divorce isn't the only problem that makes marriage a shit show.

Fulfill that role? Sounds like you pine for the plantation. That role was much more impressed on older generations. At least it's optional now. You can decide on whether you want to get married as a life style choice. It's not like wives didn't cheat on their husbands and try to kill them centuries ago.

It's almost like feminism/unchecked female nature stole this "right of passage" from us young guys.

I don't think it was a "right of passage" I think it was a "You're fucking responsible for shit now you fuck". It doesn't make you a man to have a mortgage and a house wife, it just makes you a sucker. Being a man isn't what someone else tells you, it's what you tell you. And wtf is a "man" anyway? Outside of going through puberty, that's about it. All that other shit is serving someone else's goals and agendas.

Go to war, it'll make you a man. Sure, it'll also make you dead. Also, I'd like to thank the U.S. military for keeping my gas prices low. I salute you.

I'm sure those guys with PTSD are glad they're "men" now when they came back to their foreclosed houses and absent wives and kids that "weren't happy". But gas is under $3 a gallon so that's pretty cool.

I feel lost as a young man in this regard and it sucks to be honest.

I can imagine that sucks. You're fed a line of bullshit throughout all forms of media, and it turns out it's just bullshit.

You need to find something else to fulfill you because marriage? That's a dying institution and it's being rejected in droves by a whole shit load of people world wide. I highly doubt it will improve because it serves absolutely no purpose in this day and age. The purposes it served long ago no longer apply.

If you want to get a girl friend or whatever, do it, just don't marry or live with her.

I see a nice young lady walking by that I shouldn't approach her because I'm a rapist/creep.

You shouldn't approach her because she offers you nothing. Why do you have to do all the approaching anyway? Do women ever put any skin in the game?

I can't thank you older gentlemen enough for at the very least letting us younger guys know the negative aspects of marriage/cohabitation e.g.. (financially, emotionally, & bias/sexist laws) so we can at the very least have a balanced view before we make that dive.

It's a lifestyle choice, being MGTOW. There's not a lot more than that. It's not some grand vision, some ancient religion with sorcerers ways, it's just a way of living. A default way of living, all the rest is extra shit to put on your life. How many sandbags do you want to carry when you're trying to tread water?

If you feel incomplete not having a partner or being married, then ask yourself this, what are the pros to being married? You already know the all the cons. What exactly is a positive of it?

Yes , but with that came other burdens.
Let me remind you the last war ended only half a century ago.
In a way we're more free than anyone ever was.

So after the war my country was held by the USSR , basically like a leech draining it of all meaningful resources.
We had money , but fuck all to buy...
What did women do back then? Settle in for any man that could-provide cover.
Fast forward 30-40 yrs, most of those guys are divorced, even in their old age women don't give a fuck. It's funny how the dudes spend 30 yrs providing for a family trough communist regime and at the end of the road when he's nearing death , they gave him middle finger as soon as she got the taste of "independence"(aka goverment moneyz).

Yeah, we older men got married and had kids and most likely you will too.

I guess time will tell.

If you want to live a risk-free life, just guillotine yourself right now, 'cause it ain't gonna happen.
