Do You See Yourself Getting Married?

Finally, an original topic being posted on TheColi.

Ignore. Wrong thread.

Nope.

Marriage is a mechanism that provides security for women. Alimony is a tool used to compensate women. It becomes a purely punitive tool in the context of 21st century life where women can work jobs that pay more than what men make. They've slowly been dominating the growing industries (Healthcare, service) so spousal support ends up being transformed into not only a compensatory measure, but a punitive one.

Been married. It was a bunch of bullshyt. Tainted my view. I still think it's the most ideal arrangement to have kids under and honestly, the best arrangement to reach your max potential in your career. But again, I'm skewed.

With a long-term girl I live with now, but it's starting to fall apart. We'll see.

I think this is debatable.

A single man can not only work harder, he can come home and study strategies and get hip to the latest information. A married man has to leave on time, make emotional and intellectual space for his wife and then make sure her emotional needs are met. He can't commit as much to rising in the company when his mind is elsewhere. All it takes is a "We need to talk" text to fukk up the vibe while you're at work.

Edit: op is a racists fakkit. Negged and 1 star

No, I'm a childfree woman ...and for starters, most men and women want kids. That is one thing I am not willing to compromise on. So that makes finding a suitable partner (for marriage at least) difficult for me just for that reason alone. That and I honestly like doing whatever the hell I want without having to answer to no one.

I'll be fine though

Say your for the streets without saying you are brehettes

And that's fair. I tried to debate internally if it's correlation and not causation that causes married people in every industry to typically be at the top of their profession.

But you could also argue that people who are single aren't entirely focused on their career because they tend to have interests outside of the career that can distract from maximizing their potential in their respective industries. I personally think the narrow casting of personal endeavors when marriage and family comes into play causes people to become more successful.

I think the real unlock is staying single until you reach an exit velocity/event horizon where your career can take off. Working a dead-end or 2-3 jobs while married with kids probably has much higher incidence of failure than if you're single doing the same shyt.

There's just very few public and personal anecdotes that I can think of where a single person is more successful than a married person; music, sports, politics, actors, business...everyone at the top is married. Music might be the only one where it's debatable because imaginable accessibility is a selling point for some artists, but artists who've been around a decade plus tend to be married too.
