Millennial marriage statistics

See the trip out part is, the "leaders" of the community as it were are hidden in plain sight.

We're in for some shyt, no doubt about it

but when has that not been the case of a people in exile. Especially us.

You are right. How can Black men command respect as the "leader" of the community when there isn't enough of us taking ownership?

A lot of Black men have gotten lazy. Not building up our community, and blaming everything on other other races and/or Black women is a cop out.

White supremacy exists, and CACs will always try to sabotage us, but we must overcome.

Since divorce is the great boogeyman within #GMB, can someone give me some links showing the prevalent consistent downside risks associated with modern divorce in relation to Black men?

Losses in time, reputation, taking on your wife's student debt, losing half, splitting custody of a child, zero summing all the time money you've spent on a woman, possible child support, possible alimony, upending a lifestyle & whatever future you planned, updating wills, breaking a vow you made to god & your family, lawyer fees or just straight up just getting your heart broken.

Boogeymen are supposed to be fictional creatures but the the divorces are the reality for over half of marriages consistently. For decades now


You're going to need a better sell than lame guilt tripping to convince these Gen Z'ers

 

[audemarzz]

That word "nikka nerd" makes no sense to me. Shouldn't it be a good thing to be a "nikka nerd" ?.

He's trying to flex some weirdo 90s anti-intellectualism shyt but it doesn't work.

So no links?

Im assuming you're only referring to links to the divorce rate. so you can ignore whatever argument and point you were making in the post I quoted.

So you can pivot instead to mincing words about the falling divorce rate while ignoring that the marriage rate isnt rising in correlation.

Well no thanks. The shyt going to as high as 60% (google it yourself) at any point without any legal or cultural reform effort is more than enough to justify any man's risk aversion.

Burden of proof is on you to prove the risk is worth it, yall not about to juelz that cat back in the bag tho.

I made clear what type of links I want to be provided, you gave me a bunch of rhetoric instead.

The burden of proof is not on me as I am not the one who claims marriage is not worth it, that's your stance. But as I stated in the previous thread...

"The theoretical arguments put forward in this thread and TLR are not very persuasive, and given what I know about modern divorce law there is a discrepancy between the narratives, theories, and potential downside risks presented on this site and the current state of divorce law.

But I am more than open to seeing evidence that potential divorce and separation and the supposed economic downside risk attached is a prevalent problem in Black marriages"

I would presume given #GMB intense rhetoric against marriage they would have data, evidence, and studies easily at hand, but my presumption is seemingly wrong.

What kind of autist needs a study to verify the risk of having your heart broken in divorce?

You just wanted to make a strawman argument to distill the responses to "divorce rate" and run the same ineffective rhetoric centered around your favorite googled studies.You're really not as smart as you think you are.

If there is no risk associated with marriage then the marriage rate would be higher. But it isn't. thus the burden of proof is on you.

instead of considering the insight of others you really trying to argue away people's perspectives and the risks in marriage with incomplete statistics arguments. Disingenuous ones at that you sound like a sperg my guy

Nowadays being a "nerd" isn't bad honestly. Nerds still have girlfriends and lead normal lives. Dudes are weird with that "nikka nerd" nonsense. In fact I rather have a nerd as a friend because then they can give you pointers on shyt like the stock market.

The disconnect here is that you don't acknowledge that while black men collectively have little wealth relative to other groups, the little we do have takes relatively more time and effort to build. By the time black men have clawed their way to a point of relative stability they are not too eager to go through that process again post divorce. (Divorce being extremely likely)

If black men could reach that point of economic stability sooner this would mitigate the problem somewhat. But as it stands, we are set up to fail.

hat kind of autist needs a study to verify the risk of having your heart broken in divorce?

Damn you seem aggy as fukk beloved. Is it because you can't provide anything more than empty rhetoric? I specifically referred to modern divorce law and economics and now you switched up talking about getting heartbroken.

Did you tho

"No no what i meant was actual web links"

"No no what i meant was law and economics"

Aka "please remove as much context as necessary for me to no longer be wrong"

When all else fails , lie I guess.

as divorces go, i don’t think the average brotha is gonna get done super dirty in court in this era

Most married black women work and their income isn’t far off from their husband. The whole “the man brings in all the money and pays for everything but then loses half in divorce” is not the norm for our community

I don't usually roll up in here, these jokers really scared of divorce law like that? I'm actually an attorney and have friends in divorce law and it is not that scary.

Wrong, most marriages end in divorce regardless of race. The only exception is when both the wife and husband are rich. Whenever women marry down, they aren't usually marrying men that will stick around. That's a topic for another thread.
