THats a good point, my man. Too bad that as a response to less and less men deciding to get married, state by state new laws have been passed that treat cohabitation as marriage. States have to ensure this redistribution of wealth that has been going on for decades. So if you leave with your GF for a couple of years, you are on the hook financialy, same as if you were married. Same deal with her having a thugspawn from a different man, if you date her long enough, in the eyes of the law you may be on the hook for financial support of the thugspawn. Its so moronic, that it hurts.

Really? Because I dont. All of my male friends, two of which are married, and both of my current roommates agree that marriage is a raw deal for men. Most men just accept it as a fact of life and deal with it. However, I have a feeling that that sentiment is coming to an end in the next 50 to 70 years. By 2100 I don't think you will see people still getting married or at least the laws regarding marriage will have changed significantly.

Really? Because I know a lot of married people - and the majority of them are very happy. My husband loves being married. But you are also entitled to your opinion. Nobody is forcing you to get married. If you don't want to - simply don't do it. It's not complicated.

I don't know what my future holds, I'd like to get married whether it happens or not is another story.

What's for you won't go by you

I'm pretty much convinced that I'll never meet Mr. Right, but I'm okay with that if it doesn't happen.

For all you marriage haters out there - don't get married. Problem solved. Get over it already. Personally, I don't give a rat's behind if you want to get married or not. I'd just like everyone to be happy. If you are happy not being married - then just be happy and stop complaining!
