Red-pill man here. I expect to earn significantly more than a women I date. I have no problem with a LTR. However, the marriage contract itself doesn't seem to provide a high earning male with a lot of benefit. In fact, it seems almost all risk.
I would like to hear the perspective of red-pill women (most of whom in this sub seem to support marriage) on what would the benefit be for a man such as myself to marry? It seems like all risk and minimal reward compared to a life-long committed LTR.
Possible ideas (not sure how many of these I personally agree with):
- Legal benefits if I want children.
- Symbolic gesture of commitment.
- With high earning and highly educated partners the risk of divorce may be less than the oft-thrown-around 50% figure (that just means it's not as bad as it could be)
- Social pressure.
- Legal benefits for estate purposes, health benefits, etc.
- Tax benefits (maybe; depends on the income disparity)
- A high quality woman may not be willing to date a man in a long term relationship without the prospect of marriage (kind of an ultimatum situation there).
