It took me 5 years of dating her and one year of not having her in my life to realize she was my best friend. We will have our big fat greek wedding next spring. Cheers!

When the upside for men in this country ever come close to the downside for men, then come talk to me about what’s great about marriage.

The risks of loss for the men, in terms of health, finances, the children, the assets, etc. are FAR greater than the alleged benefits. And given the outrageous divorce rate and the fact that women initiate over 70% of all divorces – the ability for any man to achieve all of that greatness you report over a long period of time (a lifetime) is so infinitesimally small as to have odds worse than being struck by lightning.

While I believe that there are great women out there (because I believe I have finally found one), the sense of entitlement, empowerment, and the ability to pull the plug and TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE with the force of government aiding and abetting them along the way, you would have to be out of your frigging mind or a huge “risk taking personality” to get married until society and the laws in divorce and family court change significantly.

Friends don’t let friends get married. My main argument against marriage is divorce. How many men must get burned by divorce for us to realize what is going on. Divorce holds no social stigma in American society. Seventy percent of divorces are initiated by women (men and women cheat at the same rate). Good luck getting custody of your son or daughter! Men prepare to pay alimony and child support for these strong independent women. Is it not obvious the courts are against men in America? Legally fathers don’t even have a say in whether a child lives or dies through an abortion.

Marriage does not guarantee any of these benefits. However, it does guarantee that if things don’t work out, you will foot the bill.

For the minority of people with good marriages, congratulations.
