Women Want to Know Why Men Don't Want to Marry Anymore

[SteyrAUG]

Welcome to decades ago.

in 1997 when Paula Cole came out with "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone" I first laughed my ass off and then mentally thought "Ask Gloria Steinhem."

Women wanted to be equal, well there you are. No more marry me, raise the kids and I'll pay for everything. And when men figured out they could be Mr. Mom if they had to, well we got a taste of independence as well. We don't get married because we have to get married, we get married because we want to get married and that means fewer and fewer women are seen as viable.

Didn't help that an entire generation of Kramers decided to divorce their husbands. Once men figured out that they might very easily pay for everything and still not be married, it was just easier to pay for everything and then trade up girlfriends who aren't "marriage material" every decade or so.

So you are woman, we heard you roar. Now go do it over there...alone.

50% of marriages end in divorce and 80% of those are filled by women.

Would you go skydiving if you knew your parachute would fail more than 50% of the time?

A couple thoughts:

Marriage AND divorce are just too easy to get.

Marriages need work, constant preventive maintenance.

You have to WORK on marriages.

Learn your wife's 'love language.'

Thanks to romcoms, Hallmark Channel, and Disney, women expect a story-book wedding and life. Get that fantastical shit out of here.

Yes it is! It is very easy to just say I quit. Both partners have to be equally involved.

This also brings to mind a sign that's hung for sale in the "Ladies' Kitschy Knick-Knacks" corner at a local diner. In a feminine script: "I love being married. It's great to have that one special someone you want to annoy for the rest of their life!"

This article has incel and simp written all over it.

Met my wife 18 years ago. We’ve been married the past 14 of those and have three kids.

For the younger men in attendance. This isn’t hard. See a hottie go up and talk to her. It’s either going to be nothing, short term, or something a little longer. If you and that person actually hit it off, make a real connection, and the relationship is hitting that long term stride - that might be a good time to consider marriage.

Maybe this logic is oversimplified, but it worked for us.

It doesn’t just stop at the societal level either. Even in modern families, men are taught how to treat a woman, provide for her, and work hard to keep her happy. Women aren’t taught how to treat a man or how to make him happy; they’re strictly taught what to expect from a man.

This, combined with modern feminist philosophy that encourages women to do away with traditional ideas, has produced an entire swath of useless women who value shallow sexuality over familial contribution and homemaking skills. They enter into marriages where they contribute very little and expect quite a lot, and these marriages eventually end.

1.) Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs.

2.) Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

3.) Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

4.) Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

5.) Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. and then run a dust cloth over the tables

6.) Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

7.) Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes.

8.) Children are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.

9.) Be happy to see him. Free him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him.

10.) You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first — remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

11.) Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.

2.) Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where you husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

13.) Don’t greet him with complaints and problems.

14.) Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.

15.) Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

16.) Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

17.) Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment of integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

18.) A good wife always knows her place.

Yeah. My ex did almost exactly the opposite of all of those. And cheated like a Victory Drive stripper for 19 years.

This article was mostly bullshit with some nuggets of truth in it.

The breakdown of marriage is NOT all women's fault. Guys play an equal role in it. The problem is that people are too selfish to commit to anything anymore. And, if someone DOES commit to a relationship, they both expect the other one to change their bad habits, they expect the other to dedicate all their time and energy to making them happy, and they refuse to return the favor. Everything these days is about ME and MY happiness and MY pleasure. That goes both ways: Men and women. So, people don't want to get into an arrangement where they have to compromise on anything. People are more interested in hooking up on Tinder or simply looking at porn than getting into a relationship. This goes for both guys and girls.

The majority of "dead bedrooms" I've seen are the fault of the man, lately. I've seen WAAAY more women complaining that they can't their guy to touch them than vice versa. Guys, of the younger generation at least, don't seem to have the attention span or sex drive that women want anymore. Part of the reason is that we, as a society, have completely detached sex from passion or emotional connection. Guys these days prefer masturbating to porn over having sex, to a point where they will turn down their spouses/partners and choose instead to jerk off. Other guys would rather play video games all night instead of spending time with their girl.

I work part time security at a high school. I've worked a few school dances and oh my are they different than when I was in high school! When I was in school, a guy went to the dance to 1) Have a date with his girlfriend 2) Sweep his crush off her feet 3) Meet some hot girls and dance with them and hopefully get to make out with one...and do other stuff if it leads to that. The dances I worked at security are a VERY small spattering of couples, then all the guys hanging out together and all the girls (and gay guys) hanging out together. The guys, supposedly straight guys mind you, NEVER talked to the girls; they had no interest in them.

So, it's not that guys have simply had it up to here with women's bullshit, it's just that this younger generation doesn't seem to care about interaction with the opposite sex. Now, on the opposite side, women need to temper their expectations. Women who are actually looking for spouses want "no assembly required." There are a lot of women who are not interested in a guy unless he's already in a stable, well paying job. A lot of women in their early 20s aren't considering guys their own age who are just starting out, because they don't want to deal with the "or for poor" part of the wedding vow. It's ironic, because women have almost circled back around to arranged marriages, though in these cases, it's more "self-arranged" marriage. That is, they aren't looking for love; it's more about stability and status. So unfortunately, there ARE a lot of genuinely good men who would love, honor, and respect a woman and give her a happy life, and he may even be a good looking guy, but women aren't interested because he doesn't have the money and status they want. Then they complain that there "aren't any quality guys around."
