You don't have to be married to know this...
Have you ever been married?
Where'd you get that number from

Even on the court we stay flyy, Jada & A.I.
This is a direct reflection of the women’s empowerment movement of the 60s. Men have been effeminized , castrated, and forgotten their roles; and the woman(the black woman in particular)has COMPLETELY thrown off the “shackles” of her role which is to stay her ass in the household and maintain it ; cuz she wants to do what the man does. So strong, so independent

Actually I keep hearing this narrative from Kevin Samuels, Glendon Cameron, and Ericka Williams that in the future people will be getting married because a single income simply won't cut it for the average person. I don't believe it because the media has made Individuality a staple in American culture, especially for black women. Can't put the genie back in the bottle. At best, we'll see more Boy-Toy cohabitation situations like this where it goes on for a few years, maybe have 1 kid, and the relationship fizzles out24% of black America millennials get married compared to 42% for Hispanics, 49% for whites and 51% Asian American. Might have to do with the fact that poorer people aren't getting married anymore.
I guess my generation really is #GMB
And no surprise none of the 3 people I mentioned above are married, although I can bet each are raking in around half-a-mil a year or more.
Yup pretty much.
Marriage is for idiots.
I can’t wait to find my queen and walk down the aisle 
B-but...but.. brehs on thecoli told me that everything is alright and I'm just fear mongering
Breh I'm your around your age (Gen Z) and it's not happening, for all the reasons listed ITT. Women don't want to build anything anymore, they want finished products, and they'll date older to get it. That's completely understandable from a resources perspective, but once I get to a place I have, I'm supposed to just develop convenient amnesia and forget the woman (who were just as if not more broke than I) who wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire in my early/mid 20s? I'm supposed to put forth manufactured/false/blind trust in women who place finances leaps and bounds ahead of character, chemistry, and compatibility? On behalf of what, a crumbling black community that doesn't even value/big up men that do things on the straight and narrow?
Call it selfish, call it p*ssy, call it risk averse, and I'll wear it like my skin. I'm going through some of the hardest times of my life, on the strength of family and personal fortitude, once you get past that it only get easier. Unless you really want kids it's very hard to justify the importance of a legal wife in modern society. In terms of sex you can get maaad milk without buying a cow even before you level up, if you know how to manipulate emotions. In terms of finances, how many women are really going to significantly elevate your quality of life by adding income through joint means, without hoarding some of their own money, or bringing in substantial/notable debt? I don't even have to get into the courts.
I'm 22, trying to finish school, and barring freshman year, lived at home my whole life, I'm supposed to finish get my own place and have less than 12-15 years to live on my own terms before again having to make decisions with input from other(s). I don't see it. I just don't. I may be skewed/bitter/jaded but when you contrast the opportunities and experience you have to forgo to live on the straight and narrow as a breh and match that up to the female counterpart, I can't see how I wouldn't end up more likely than not getting worked to some degree.
Outside of girls (now women, i guess) from hs and college, in the internet era you really don't know these women. I can't commit to a woman that used to have and OnlyFans or sugar daddy, but why would any woman who wants a chance at being taking out the game by a solid guy readily admit that early on, or at all. Older generations need to understand the world has changed and shyt isn't cut and dry.
I haven't even touched on finding a wife if you're a certain type of breh who only is seeking half black/bw exclusively.
Why would I want to limit myself to just one woman? Marriage might be wise for women but for a guy its downright dumb if you have shyt going for you. Obviously there are some men who will be lucky to get just one woman to have sex with them on the regular and procreate (if thats what they want). But for a guy with money and decent looks its downright stupid.
I'd rather live the life of a bachelor indefinitely. Have sex with lots of women without having to lie or creep. And keep my money in case things go south.
