Women are now marrying themselves

The feminist world is desolate. The rent a boyfriend thread a couple of weeks back was hard to watch, and this marrying yourself nonsense is just so kitschy and misguided. But is this so unexpected in our Selfie World?

If ever there was a reason to believe that women are less intelligent than men, socially, women are severely lacking intelligence if these are the ideas they come up with to achieve "happiness" as a non patriarchal society. Pretty princess parties and renting a mate; right, that will ensure long term happiness. Morons.

Great, now there's a quasi-legal precedence for the rise of younger and younger cat ladies.

Excerpt: But while this may all sound mad, narcissistic or completely pointless, self–marriage is one way to embrace the reality in which ever increasing numbers of women find themselves — wanting to settle down, have children and make a lifelong commitment, but being short of a man to do it with. Today there are more single people than at any previous time in history, especially in large cities. In America, where Beyoncé sang about ‘All The Single Ladies’, unmarried women now outnumber the married. In the UK, this happened ten years ago. Fewer women than ever want to become wives.

I can sort of understand this logic. Definitely loving, bettering, and believing in yourself is key. But, the reality is.... no one wants to be alone forever.

Putting gender aside, humans are not really equipped to be alone. If you have a loving relationship of some kind (platonic or romantic), you will live longer. Feeling accepted helps us deal with anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness. No man or woman ever wants to spend the rest of their life alone.

I have so many friends who will joke and laugh as they say, "I'm going to die alone." They may seem flippant, but I can see that the idea of facing the end without a partner is very, very terrifying. It is, and it's supposed to be. We pair up and form our clans in order to survive as long as possible. Going alone goes against our very basic instincts.

I find that these self-weddings are simply to give your courage, to reassure yourself that being alone is good for YOU. When in fact, it is not. It is not good to be alone.

Holy shit that is so sad

How could they pledge to do all this stuff for another person when they couldn’t promise themselves the same thing? I decided to marry myself to celebrate my independence and strength. I did it to promise to be my own best friend.

Awesome but like...you don't gotta do all that...

These kinds of things always remind me of mouse Utopia...

If these types of women want to walk the path of life alone, why must we all be forced to do the same? Their frailty or inability to completely open themselves to a complementary partner is an aberrant psychological flaw not a characteristic strength to be celebrated. I once feared that the race of animals that has become modern humanity was doomed to end itself in a torrent of fire and hot iron. Now... I think humanity is well on its way to suffer a cold lonely death leaving only grimy tattered plastic shopping bags blowing in the wind as the planet cools and our beautiful star consumes any evidence that we ever existed in one final spasm at the end of its life. Fifteen billion years for hydrogen to completely defy the inexorable edict of entropy to self organize into thinking people. The best we can do is smash a bathroom scale and get fat because our own future wasn't worth some mild discomfort. No one left to watch a sunrise. No one to feverishly dream about that first step on a far away planet. No more laughter or giggles from a small child. Complete frigid silence. Because we gave up. Because it was too hard.

My sister once told me she was marrying herself. She had a ring and everything. I responded very tactfully--with silence.

Not that anyone would want to marry someone this foolish, but say some man did decide to ask one of these "married" women.. I imagine some percentage are so out of touch with reality, that they can't be pleased, and so they'd refuse. However, there's gotta be some percentage who would immediately divorce themselves, and marry the guy.

I'm kidding, but I wonder how they'd rationalize marrying someone else after marrying themselves... which for many reasons is unlikely to happen.

Although women want to wed, they only want to marry a successful man with a secure job — and they will put off marriage until they find such a man, or until the man they are with is at that stage. The problem, particularly for women on lower incomes, is a lack of marriageable men.

So a lot of this is just hypergamy. I'm sure that for at least some of these women, it's not that you don't want to find a partner and get married, but that it hasn't happened yet and after a certain point it's better to be content with how the trajectory of your life appears to be turning out.

I never want to get married so I guess you can say I married myself :D. I'm in a LTR but I never want legal commitment.
