Fewer people are getting married because there’s a shortage of economically-stable single men

No...we agreed to do it for a year and then gave it up.

Both of us enjoyed it and might try it again in the future, but that faucet is turned off for now.

She was pulling brehs way better looking than me but I had women cooking me dinner and legit trying to get me to move in with them. We saw that there were others with lots of good traits but we wouldn't trade each other for anyone.

Only Black women who are pressed for marriage are the ones who majority of their close friends are or majority of their black sister Coworkers

The past 3 I dated was so quick for marriage it was ridiculous and they all had the same thing in common.. there main friend was married and they been stuck with dating losers thinking he was the one...

I had to cut them off because it was like the second or third dates and these chicks was already saying how does Mrs supreme clientele sound like and talking about wedding cakes..... I’m like what’s your last name first and where u live

Not sure why

That's how it played out. I wasn't pulling dimes or anything...just average broads that were about 5 to 10 years older.

She's a woman that wanted NSA sex...dudes line up around the block for that so she had her pick of the litter

Interesting but

Oh I would not suggest others doing that. It worked for us because we'd been together since our late teens and hadn't done much with others before that.

Kind of a "sow your oats" type deal.

Removed the curiosity tbh.

In the real world, and not bullshyt studies, we males decide whether marriage is even on the table or not, while the female waits for it to be brought up. We are the ones deciding if marriage is even a possibility. Women will 'lower their standards' after age 30 for the opportunity to be married because of societal pressure; we males won't.

And most of us have come to the realization that there is no actual purpose to being married, that is why the marriage rates are dropping.

The fact of the matter is that marriage is a social construct. There is no human purpose to being married. You can still create a two person household and co-parent your children.
