I somewhat agree, the reason I don't isn't with anything you said as much as it is just that we have two different mindsets. But that's cool because not everyone is going to think the same. I personally think that marriage as an institution is overrated. If I find a true love that knocks me off my feet then so be it, but if I never find that one and have to be a bachelor my whole life that is fine by me too...I'm cool either way.
Yeah,
I agree. I am not your typical 30 year old male. I do want to get married and have children. Playing the field was cool in college and even up to this point. But I just don't have the desire to be dating in my older years.
Everyone is different and we all have our preferences. I still believe in marriage and hope to one day meet that special lady. But like I said before....this is definitely easier said than done. If you find any good looking, cool chicks from the ATL that fit my category....send them my way bro. ;-)
Besides having kids, how do men benefit from marriage? I'm just not ready to risk paying alimony,cs, losing my house/car in a divorce,etc. Women benefit more from marriage than men. Change these marriage laws and make them fair. Ladies don't cut your hair and gain 50ibs after u get married. Stay in shape. Don't hold out on sex after u get the ring. It's the women's fault men aren't in a rush to get married. No fault divorces must go. Over 70% of divorces are from women. Women are begging us to get married and they are the first to get a divorce and clean our bank accounts. Men stand up. Continue to not get married until these laws change. One other thing, women want to be treated old fashioned but they do not want to do what the old fashioned women did back in the day. They want us to pay most of the bills, pay for the wedding, hold doors.etc but if we ask them to cook and clean they look at us like we are crazy

Valid points man.
I do think that marriage is a two way street. But women almost always come out on top in divorce situations.
I personally have avoided relationships for the past few years just to really get a feel for whether or not I really wanted to get married and to deal with all of the risks associated with it. No one can truly be sure that their marriage will last, but that is a risk that I am willing to take.
I think that more marriages would be successful if people took the time out to really get to know their mates before committing.
So... I totally feel you on the risks that are involved with marriage and agree that the quality of women these days has dropped dramatically. I hear so many complaints about no good men, especially black men, but many people don't want to point out that that the sistas have definitely made things harder. Women are just not the same as they used to be. It's sad.

There are women that think they are marriage material and can't even cook. I know their mom told them the way to a man's heart is his stomach. I was.talking with a friend last night and the entitlements women have regarding getting money from us after a divorce but we get nothing in return. They want money from us,can we continue to receive dinner since they want to continue getting a check from us. You can keep that, no way in Hell that I'm signing up for that!

They are cool good looking females who are wifey material here, they're just hard to find. Atlanta really isn't a town that makes it easy to find a wifey type of chick. On the females end, most of the 23-35 crowd have a crap load of issues, and most aren't what a smart dude would consider wifey status anyway. And on our end there are just too many good looking women here, and that makes it difficult for a good relationship to work here. The last relationship I was in I was committed, and it was horrible, not because of her, but because it seemed like every time I left my front door I saw good looking women. That's why I'm not feeling marriage or even a committed relationship, because I know I wouldn't be faithful. So why even go thru with it and deal with the drama? But that's me, you might not agree.

I've had this convo before too with some of my dudes. I think that's because a lot of these dudes out here gas up these females heads just to get in the pants or maybe they really are just plain suckers. But either way Atlanta is rampant with females like that.

Women are definitely not the same. They're very unfeminine. Very few even dress like women consistently. They wear the same things men wear only with a feminine accent or color. Many are downright bossy, rude, arrogant, conceited, and toy with a man's emotions. They're also highly entitled and selfish. In many ways, if you get hooked with one of these types of women, which perhaps represent a majority of women these days, then your life will be a challenge. It's better to be single than to go through that crap.
Where exactly are you going to meet these guys? If it's at clubs then that probably why the dating scene sucks.
I have to agree about the club scene. I say get out and explore the city. Join social groups. I have met some single, young, professional men who are very cool since joining a meetup group. Get out of your comfort zone. I've had to do this because I'm pretty laid back and don't go out much. I've made it goal of mine to get out more and just meet new people in general. I've meet some great people both professionally and personally.
You know Acid Snake without sounding like an a$$hole man you said what I think about it. One thing I will say I hated most about Atlanta women was that NEED to have a boyfriend or this NEED to have a relationship or the NEED to have a reason to kick it other than Life Enjoyment. I like to get to know women before I give them the Girlfriend-wifey tag. I dont know if its the church or just southern values, but it was a big pet peeve of mine. The whole "I dont wanna waist my time if you dont intend to commit attitude" Knowing that those same women were in and out of different mens lives and were trying to force me to settle. Why me? Why I gotta settle? Why cant you chill with me like the other dudes you chilled with? Its only fair.
LOL to be honest I can understand how you feel. When I meet guys I don't want to put a label on it either. I want to get to know who they are. What good is a relationship or title if you don't even no that person? I am open to dating and relationships but that's not going to be a priority of mine when I meet a guy. All I want to do is meet people, make new friends and most importantly enjoy life.
