Just curious, are you actually married, or do you just know better?

I agree not all of those answers are anything but biased, but its a subjective question.

You might get the answers you are looking for if you asked fdivorced people the same question

I don't think it's an MRM issue that marriage is necessarily awful for men. It isn't.

It's that the deck is legally stacked against them when it comes to divorce.

Imagine playing poker with someone who ultimately gets to decide who wins each hand. If they're decent that could be fun since they'll be fair. But it really gives them a lot of power to be less than decent. So it's not the game that's a problem, it's the rules that arbitrarily give that person all the power forcing you to rely on their good graces to come out ahead (many people are decent, some are not, some appear decent and turn out to be shitty).

SRS and a lot of feminists are involved. A lot of men still in the honeymoon phase are naively answering what people want to hear and are downvoting the hard facts. Help out and spread awareness on the issues facing married men.

Some men marry successfully, there is no doubt about that. Depending on your location, at least 1/3 of first marriages don't end in divorce. For those men who find fulfllment and an honest partner I am happy for them. The other approximately 2/3 of marriages is what concerns me.
