That's sad that they think a "career" is more important than having a family and living their lives as wives and mothers like they should. You can always replace a "career" but you can't replace a family. They sound like very selfish people.
I thought women, in general, were obsessed with divorce? Anyhow, I can't relate to either (great desire to marry or divorce). Marriage was very important to my husband because he hails from a family where people marry, stay married, and live functional lives. I hail from divorce so I was always hesitant. I didn't want to follow in my parents foot steps. It was very difficult to finally tie the knot, but it's been pretty good thus far. Btw, marriage is not the same as LTRs; not even close imo. Friendships are closer to LTRs with a lover and the relationship with a child/parent is closer to marriage since it's family.
I just have to say..that as many guys I see online acting like they don't want to get married, the real world is totally different. As much as guys moan and groan about marriage and even worse how screwed they get in a divorce, many men get married before the ink is dry on the divorce paperwork. I am not buying this myth that women are twisting guys arms or putting a gun to their heads to get married.
That's what I see in real life as well. We even had one of our friends tell us that he was getting married to his girlfriend as soon as the ink dried on his divorce papers. And he did! And a lot of my guy friends have/had told me that they want/wanted to get married. It's really only online that I see this huge outrage against marriage. In my real life - it's not a big deal.

I totally agree.
Online guys are weird and have such a distorted view of reality.

Like they should? That actually made me dizzy. How in the world do you think you know what women should be doing?
Piggybacking off the thread where the man got an ultimatum to marry from his GF. Why do women (in general) want to get married so badly? Why does marriage matter so much if its not really any different than a LTR?
It is not that marriage is so important in and of itself. It is that a man's steadfast refusal to get married signals that he's not really that invested in her or the relationship. It signals that he wants to keep his options open, that he is still looking for a better deal. That makes women feel unloved and insecure. How could it not?
I even look at famous men who are paying millions of dollars in alimony, get married AGAIN and divorced AGAIN, paying more alimony. One would think if marriage was so bad for men, these guys wouldn't dare let another women talk them into it.
Yeah you're right, all women go into marriage with that very thought in mind, fleecing their husband out of his millions....
Such a load of garbage, as if that many men even have much money. Women are out earning guys at a rate never seen before. Many of us don't need a man for financial security so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. You're so full of drama and silliness and blatant misogyny.
I've seen guys on this forum state that they have assets comprised of a used car and 5k in the bank with a follow up question of how to protect it from the womens.

I thought women only earn 70 cents for every dollar a man makes, doing the same job. Which is it, you get to pick only one. Here is a fun fact: 96% of alimony is paid by men to women. How is that not redistribution of wealth from a producer to a consumer?
