Title says it all. Almost 60 or so years after the “sexual revolution”, casual sex has become the norm from high school all the way up through adulthood with the development of highly effective contraceptives. A large contributing factor to the decay or marriage. Men LARGELY want sex for the most part (due to testosterone and biology) - women LARGELY want commitment.

Marriage used to be a religious/social contract between a man and woman. Men would provide resources, work to support the family, and have access to an abundance of sex. Women would raise the children and create an ideal environment for raising said children in the household, while having the loyalty and commitment of a man.

In modern times, women no longer need men’s financial support to live comfortably. They go to university, have well paying jobs, and can completely support themselves often times better then men can support their own selves. The old social contract archetypes are almost discouraged by feminism and the mainstream media.

So what do men get from marriage:

1) sex? You can have causal partners/plates or go on tinder and other OLD apps within a hookup culture. Go check out the likes of r/ dead bedrooms.

2) Kids? You can have kids outside of marriage without being social ostracized like in years past - PLUS, you won’t face the threat of alimony and having half of your assets gutted in a divorce if having children is what you REALLY want. Remember: 50% DIVORCE RATE - 70% OF WHICH ARE FILED BY WOMEN.

3) Companionship? Male friends or a dog - there is a level of empathy and understanding you get from male friends that you simply cannot get from a female partner... arguably why a lot of friendships last longer than relationships.

With only downsides and the odds against you regarding the court system, marriage has become obsolete for men where they have everything to lose and little to gain considering the modern day roles of men and women.

Why would any man get married in modern time?
