Why does something need to change?

Marriage rates need to continue to drop, until they are non existent.
The entire concept is outdated, based on old stupid chit, and needs to be scrapped.


Legal contracts can still exist, but they should be that, legal contracts, mostly in the form of how things will be split, what will be shared, etc.

The marriage aspect should be a private affair that the state/government have no part in. Just a promise between two (or however many fukin people), celebrated in whatever way they want. Marriage shouldn't really come with perks tax wise etc, nor should one only be official, if it's deemed so by the government. You can enter a legal contract with someone without being married, you can be married without a legal contract. /shrug

Or maybe two ****ing people can just be together without that ****.

Society will start taxing single people heavly (heard couples get certain benefits) Funny how corona will have a big part to play in this aswell. More people divorcing in lockdown and no big gathering for weddings for a while . Women dictate everything planning a wedding and want a fairy tale to show off to friends and families. No big gatherings mean the princess doesn't get validated ,so she will hold off as most women care about the wedding more than actual marriage. This is a win, win and is part of the reset imo.

This is all so depressing. It's not just marriage either. It seems like you can't even find a loyal woman who you can call your best friend too.
It was all just satire. Sorry if I offended anyone with my trolling and sickening posts. Peace and love to everyone.

-economy is great depression levels of awful.
-womens expectations are insane due to social media, constant orbiters and they think all these dudes have perfect lives, CEO 10ka day is the norm, etc. one bump in the relationship and one of these guys who portray perfect lives wlil be there in a min, until she then realizes most these guys have the same ****ing issues as well.
-manchildren culture common in men.

Marriage is no longer something to be expected for your average Joe Schmo, but an achievement that is becoming increasingly reserved for well off individuals from good families with relatively no financial problems/worries.

There should be a length associated with the contract: like a mortgage. Like 3, 5, or 10 year contracts. Then you can go get it renewed if you want at the end.

Taxes.

I save an absolute chit ton now.

Effective tax rate has legit halved and then some since getting married.

But I married a foreigner. I would never in a million years marry an American. Dated many over 15 years, had relationships, but never even considered marrying any of them.

Why does "something need to change"? Marriage gives all power to the Women financially and in family court.

Yes it's much better to give the rich 90% of the tax cut benefits and give you and extra 10 bucks a week in your paycheck then it is to have stupid things like a Pandemic response team.

Don't spend it all in one place.

Misc theory that wealthy men only date 18 year old HBB makes sense in theory but does not check out at all irl.
It's changing, quickly. I'd say about 50% of the Chads I know under 40 are no marriage crew.

Most wealthy men are married to women from rich families, etc.
Rich men want to leverage the social connection from marrying a high status woman.

Yes, if you are marrying a woman of your calibre in terms of occupation, income, family connection, etc, then marriage is not a bad thing, since the court can’t fukk you over and take half ur chit if the woman is rich from the get go.

18 yr old HBBs are easy on the eyes, but they have no substance and have nothing in common with the career driven, highly ambitious successful men.

People starting to realize its a business during the divorce process.
Marriage laws should change and it should start with removing "no-fault & alimony" and give the father joint custody of the kids automatically.

Times are changing man.
Non monogamous relationships are in.

The thought of people sexually tied down to one person is a turn off to many. Men are not wired that way.

I love how the sociologist says that the reason marriage rates are declining is that women are more independent and have more freedoms, as though women were in better shape now and have concluded that men aren't worth it. In reality women are all sloots and the men have concluded that they aren't worth it.

women marry up and across social dominance hierarchy.

women getting higher education, earning more, spending more, means they are extremely limiting their choices to a small pool of men who are more successful than they are.

there’s a negative correlation with education levels and their chances of marriage.

Just LOL.

The whole concept is so silly.

If you made it to age 30 and had never heard of the concept, then one day someone came up to you and explained it, you would think they were completely out-to-lunch.

It's the most un-natural, forced tradition currently practiced.

Marital laws need to change. The medias bias towards women and the ignorance about their abilities in certain skills compared to men needs to be brought back to reality. We need to stop trying to dismantle the nuclear family and stop trying to make genders fluid.

Why would a hard working man take a risk? Some of the laws protecting women are so out of date and only served a purpose back when they had no spend power - yet they are still allowed to keep them.

What's worse is, the blame for all of this will be pointed back at men. Any people reflecting my sentiment will be falsely labelled to try scare off discussion. It's about time strong men told everyone to fuk off. Stoic worker bees who get zero sympathy and who at best get to be told what to do in a relationship then if it doesn't work out have most of their life's work get distributed by a governing body.

However, the power and delusion being given to even average women is a problem stemming from weak men. As the Western world tries to tell men it's ok to be a spineless cuck we have more seeking pleasures via social media, app donations etc. This is creating a huge social issue of women relying on just sexuality then as their youth corrodes they have nothing left and start to then blame men for being shallow and not seeing them as potential career earners.

Men have a huge part to play in getting social attitudes back in order. Stop rewarding general whoring--never going to happen and I don't mean prostitution--, stand up for yourself and speak out without fear of being labelled--never going to happen--and don't feel pressure to conform out of more fear of being seen as an outcast. Men have more power than they think, somehow certain groups have muddied their mind but go read up on history and get your balls back.

It saddens me deeply concerning the younger generations. Perhaps it's bittersweet that they will not lament, because they know not what to lament. Though I'm sure they're experiencing the effects of this dark cloud, which lies above us all.

If the two of you had equal salaries filing jointly would be of little difference, but apparently she brings little to the table so looks like you got cucked.
