Women somehow think that they are the sole arbiters of how men should act, and that if men don’t behave exactly as these women want, then men must have a problem.
Perhaps men just want different things than certain demanding women do. Newsflash: That’s OK.
Personally as someone who’s been married 3 times (at least 10 years each time, and currently married), I don’t see much incentive to be married unless you’re actively planning on children.
In earlier/more primitive societies, women needed marriage to protect them from financial and social ruin. Now they can make their own way, so why should men sign onto this antiquated system? Still, many women (2 out of my 3 wives) were looking for someone to save them…from having to work. Once I got married (to the two), my expenses doubled, my hassles tripled, our sex life rapidly dimished from pre-marital frequency, and I was subjected to a constant barrage of criticism. Who needs that?
I do know one thing, If I ever get married again, it will not be to an American girl. Too many of them have an incredible chip on their shoulder about men.
Completely aside from differing male-female goals and life view, our economic system no longer actively supports marriage. It ain’t the family farm anymore. Married couples must deal with corporate masters who could care less about the health of their relationship. Married couples can be reassigned or promoted to distant locations, meaning they must decline advancement, or one partner must sacrifice their career.
In short, marriage is, from a practical perspective, an obsolete and useless institution.
