LOL. I just ignore all those anti-feminism rants,nonsensical babbling, etc. If they are willing to waste their time writing paragraphs about nonsense, then someone ELSE might be willing to read it but not me.

Thank you for those who gave me legitimate advice.

Why would any man want to WASTE money taking women out on dates in this economy when many of these women will come over to his house on the first date and give him what he wants...

I think it depends on what you're looking for. Sex is something that can be had for less than $20 in some quarters. A relationship, on the other hand is something that is value-added. Certainly men benefit greatly from marriage as it literally puts money in their pocket and lengthens their life span. It makes me wonder why any man would settle for something that's worth about the amount of money I spend in the dollar store each week, when they can have something infinitely more valuable. Of course, it's your choice, lots of people prefer the cheap and tawdry over the valuable. Fortunately, most adult males have learned better. Obviously the OP is looking for the latter. The species can heave a sigh of relief.

Although I don't consider myself the type of person you are referring to, I think it's obsolete thinking to consider everyone like that "cheap and tawdry(not saying you described actual people as that but those words just happen to be handy)." As long as these people are honest with themselves and upfront with their partners then I say live and let live. I know plenty of women who have gone through stages like that. The problem is, it's still looked at as the way you're describing it and a lot of people are ashamed and hide it from their partners. I think that leads to more problems.

Marriage hardly ever lives up to the myth and I wish more people would understand that.

Lol. Marriage in general only benefits the kids and his wife. U saying he will have more money is ridiculous especially if she stops working after the baby

Google it. Numerous studies demonstrate that married men live considerably longer, are healthier and make more money than single men. And most women don't stop working after they have children, but even the ones that do bring added value to the household.

What's obsolete about what I said? Are you denying that sex is cheap and can be had for very little capital outlay or for that matter effort? That in itself makes it less valuable than a relationship that will actually lengthen your life and add to your bottom line. (I never called the people themselves cheap and tawdry and would never presume to judge them. I do wonder, however, about people who settle for something so ephemeral when they can have so much more.)

I can walk out my front door right now and find five men who want to lay up with me before I hit the interstate. And? What's the big deal about that? That's something anyone can have. My marriage on the other hand has to be nurtured and cared for. Creating a home and a safe haven for my husband to return to after he's taken on the vagaries of life in corporate America, that's valuable. That adds meaning and wonder to my life. Sex lasts for what, an hour if you're lucky? In itself it has no value unless you're emotionally connected to the other person. My husband and I are building a life together, a home and a family that will render us immortal, that buffers us in any storm.
