can you even name one pro of marriage for a man?

women are becoming more educated than men. more and more men are seeking alimony

having a higher paid wife benefits men financially
Study: Marriage benefits men economically, too - USATODAY.com

if he wants kids, kids from two parent homes usually fare better

health wise
In a Norwegian study, divorced and never-married male cancer patients had 11 and 16 percent higher mortality rates, respectively, than married men.

A UCLA study found that people in generally excellent health were 88 percent more likely to die over the 8-year study period if they were single.

you don't see the benefits of marriage because you aren't looking for them. it is easy to be a pessimist about things.

If you really like the girl, I don't see what the problem is. :manny:

My girl is cool as fukk. I actually like hanging out with her which is a first in my life. Made #1-10 pretty much irrelevant.
the problem with a relationship is its supposed to be this constant built around two changing and evolving things contained in it. it comes with pressure, responsibilities, compromise, expectations, and obligations.

you could have a friendship with your girl and still hang with her and have all the benefits of being around her with none of the potential drawbacks.

every man that ever fell in love with a woman felt similar to the way you do right now. and every man that ever went through a harsh break up or divorce learned that the feelings you have now can fade or even worse morph into hatred or disdain.

I aint ready for a relationship. Just based off all the fukked up shyt that I witness women doing in my age group (thanks to college) and still have yet to see an example of a woman who values respect and honesty like I do.

But im sure I'll "mature" and change my views with the right chick

i know a man that's been with the same woman for over 30 years and they aren't married. you think he's statistically doomed to die of cancer because he didn't sign a binding legal contract with a woman? your study also shows that divorced men face the same cancer mortality rates as never-married ones and there's no guarantee that marriage will workout.

Winb is a legend, his padawan braid was cut years ago and he's now a master Jedi.

No guy really wants to be in a relationship, girls are the ones who want to settle down, guys just want to smash with no strings attached.

you better get married while you're young. don't let the "men get better with age" bs fool you. most of the older men i know are dusty, overweight, ugly or a combo. it isn't like you'll be 59 pulling young 8s, 9s or 10s unless you have lots of cash. the ones in your age group will have kids, grandkids and maybe even great grandkids by then.

i don't know one older man that i'm attracted to.

play the field while you are young. get it out of your system. however, marriage does have its pros for both genders. maybe it has more cons for certain groups

:childplease:

let me point this out for you, looks mean nothing for a man, women care about potential, status, wealth etc., a man in his 40's and 50';s with a career, own house can always and i mean always find a decent looking broad although with baggage 35-50

secondly men esp a man whose like 55 established has no problem paying 200 bucks for a hour with a 18 year old blonde with titties a few times a month.

That's what's funny to me. These dudes acting like they're hugh heffner. Most of the dudes in here will not be pulling dimes when they're older. Hell, they're not pulling dimes now.

Marriage isn't for everyone, though...there are positives/negatives to single/married life. Why not leave it at that?
