None of these things are specific to men.

That list seems universal but my single friend got married and loves it. His big positive is that he gets to have sex any time he wants, even at 6 am on a Wednesday morning if he wants. Single men who don't have live in girlfriends don't necessarily have that luxury, KWIM? There are other benefits too but I'm sure the married guys on here will chime in on that.

I agree the list is somewhat relevant for both males and females.


A few questions though? Why is it that most men report a sharp decline in sex after saying the words "I do?" Why is it that most men can say they haven't received "head" since before their honeymoon?

Because women's sex drive plummets after their thirties whereas guys' stay the same.

1. the heartbreak of divorce
2. the expense of divorce ($100,000 and up)
3. the elation to know on the 1st of the month no giant surprises, only bill u get is yours.
4. the onus put on women to behave or stay home that comes with not being married, living alone.
5. the sex you now get, which was non existent when married.
6. you cook and clean less bek u r not "helping her"
7. the baloney factor in life is now limited to your job.
8. old house was a 3 bedroom, 2700 sq ft. but u used to live at the work bench in the garage 36 sq ft, rest of the house was her turf.,, u only now have a granny flat 400 su ft. but its all yours. feels like a mansion.

From what every married person I've known has ever told me, that doesn't sound like marriage.

The assumption that being in a relationship means you can't accumulate wealth is ridiculous. For example, my fiancé handles my company's finances, all without an official paycheck. Without her I'd have to go back to working in corporate America, making god knows whatever low wages they are trying to give to it directors.
