I've been reading a lot about the The Sexodus recently, and how a lot of men nowadays in Western society are opting out of society and opting out of marriage. It's an interesting topic to me, and I've been watching a lot of videos about it, such as these.

MGTOW Its The Safest Choice

Men are opting out of marriage

5 Reasons No Man Should Marry And 1 Reason He Might

The Sexodus, the herbivore man in the East, MGTOW, feminism, guys falling way behind women academically, men not going to college as much, divorce rates at an all time high, marriage rates decreasing, women saying there are no good men anymore, promiscuity and the hook up culture, all of these have been occupying my mind recently.

Imho, I do not want to ever get married. As a man, I think it's too risky, in the future I don't want to lose half my income, my house, my children, going to jail if you can't pay child support. All of that hanging over your head at any day, and for what benefit?

For the never married straight guys, would you ever want to get married at some point?

Yes, I would want to get married at some point
No, I do not ever want to get married

People will continue to get married.

If you don't get married and create future taxpayers...cough...kids then your replacement from third world countries definitely will.

The government is allowing all these refugees and immigrants in for the reason that a lot of native people are not breeding enough future tax payers.

I think they're rather bringing in voters. Most of those people come for the welfare and aren't remotely wealthy enough to pay taxes. They are however a solid electoral base for politicians whose program is "More Nanny State".

I have a slightly different mind set. I don't want to marry or not marry, because it isn't something I inherently need or desire. If I find a person I love, I would maybe want to marry that person, because it is that person. So if I don't find anyone, I'm perfectly fine not marrying (and I don't have an inherent desire to meet anyone either.)

In Poland it's far more reasonable to get married since it's impossible to get info when your partner is in hospital and you're not related by law.
And isn't it plain normal to get married when two people want to be together? I never really understood those who didn't want to get married but wanted to stay with the one person they are with...
I'm married myself and I can recommend it :)

It's the same way in the USA with hospitals. There are many good reasons to get married in long-term relationships. Like if you want your spouse to have a say over your well-being in case you are not conscious. Sure you can get a "living will" but that requires seeing an attorney and keeping it up-to-date. Also, I am not super pro-marriage either, you just have to be smart about protecting your interests and those of your loved ones and marriage seems to be the way to go even in 2017. Obviously, don't marry someone without really getting to know them because divorce costs $$ and time, but that should go for moving in with someone or even having a long term relationship without marriage. Is there going to be a better solution for coupling than marriage? Maybe, but we're not there yet, hence the reason it was very important to legalize gay marriage for homosexuals--so they can have the same rights and privileges as straight couples.

Haven't think about that right now....

Some people think that marriage is one of important things to do before they want to fully commitment on each other, but sometimes it just as ceremony because they loved each other right now ( and haven't think about the future of their marriage life after they married).

Marriage ? why it's just a paper :/ you're free to live with the love of your life don't need the approbation from the community to do it and pay more taxes :/ if you love someone good for you ... if you need a marriage to prove that you love each other... i'm sad for you

Marriage is great! If anyone chooses not to get married, that's their prerogative, but I just love the entire shebang. I know that people move at different speeds and sometimes knowing someone for 2 weeks is enough (Like my parents), but I do sometimes feel like people get married a little too fast, without learning all the little but super important characteristics of the person they are in a relationship with.

I started dating my wife a week after we both made it on to our middle school cheer-team, so our relationship was a secret for a long time, all the way up until like the junior year of high school. Having been hidden the closet for so long kinda of strengthened my love of marriage, as being able to call my wife MY WIFE is just the greatest feeling.
