actually what I get tired of on these forums are the constant (male/female) bashing that goes on here...
I think the opposite sex forgets .. for every loser male there is a loser female.. not all males and females suck at what they do.. if you want to down anything.. down the entire earth.. because believe it or not.. it is not gender specific the way people act.
Hasn't there already been a discussion on this forum calling bull***** on this idea? It's assuming that the husband owns 100% of the marital assets. If a married couple gets divorced, and their assets are divided in half, then they both get 50% of what they had. And probably both of them feel like they've been screwed.
Yeah, there was such a thread, but those who called bullbleep had flawed reasoning. I remember that very scenario happening to a good friend of mine - his drug-addict "wife" had an affair with his best friend and then filed divorce, and he got royally screwed. She got the house and the kids, and he lives in a rented room. So, yes, they both got screwed, he by the court and she by the man with whom she had an affair. Under these circumstances, it benefits the man not one iota to be married.
He gets an instant slave - someone to cook for him, keep the house clean, do his laundry, clean the toilets when he pees all over everything, sex slave, someone to baby his ass when he's sick ... have I left anything out?
Honestly, a single woman can do everything a married woman can do.
A woman can get taken to the cleaners financially during a divorce.
A woman can be cheated/beated on, so what's the benefit?
Obviously, there is something about marriage, commitment, a loving life partner, raising children in a two parent household, etc. that you just don't comprehend. I'm sorry you don't get it, but I realize that marriage is not for everyone. Perhaps one day you will meet someone that will make you rethink your position and realize there's more to life than what you've experienced so far. Best wishes.
hahahaha that's funny.
You don't NEED to get married to have commitment, a loving life partner, and raise children in a household.
Men or Women! It doesn't matter!
That's my point.
I do get it, I am sorry to say...
Oh... then what about those countries, like Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, where half of the couples having kids together are NOT married?
The benefit is to commit energy and resource to someone else beside myself, and perhaps create a few spawns to instill shared values and beliefs.
I suppose, I could not have felt overwhelming responsibility of my world if I was not present during the birth of my first child. Nor would I have felt so human and powerless when my second child life struggles during his first few hours of life. Nor would I have felt satisfaction in life from simple words from my last child saying, "I love you Daddy."
Despite my success and accomplishments and failures, it is a lot nicer to have a loyal companion to share my life's journey. I create and nurture and destroy relationships throughout my life time, and marriage differs because it is not all up to me. The contentment I gain is good from a marriage where my wife willing puts her own energy and effort out of her own choice.
It's an incredible self growth realization to accept myself for who I am, and also able to learn to accept my wife for the person she is. My marriage is an incredible and worthy life experience to have.

No. But there are anti anxiety drugs that can cure these nightmares.
Why do men always ask this question? Why do you always assume the man is rich and the woman is out to take everything? There are alot of marriages where the man marries into money or the wife makes more. Last time I went to a wedding, TWO people were standing at the alter and neither one of them had a gun to each other's head!
I am so tired of hearing women are out for all the man's cash, half this, half that when the reality is in most divorces half of nothing leaves nothing!
If you don't want to be married...don't get married. This isn't rocket science. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
Ok rant over!
That was just an example... honestly it doesn't matter if he's rich.
Even if both were making the same amount of contribution to the family net worth, there is still no benefit to men.
