Questions for Team GMB...

[Sonic Boom of the South]

I swear you dudes sad man

 

[Treblemaka]

GMB is because men hate being dumped, period.

I can kinda understand a high networth person wanting to protect themselves a little bit.

TBF that ain't most men either.

 

[UpAndComing]

Try hard thread

90% of men who are GMB would end being GMB if divorce settlement laws weren't one-sided in a woman's favor

 

[High Art]

I'm not GMB but I can understand where they are coming from. A lot of that is from hearing some horror stories about divorce but barring that, these guys don't see the economic incentive to move themselves from a life they are generally comfortable and content with now, to do something that is filled with uncertainty and possible angst, all because of reasons that require more than their sudden change to fix. Even more so, and this is important, when many of the people advising them to leave that comfortable life they have for themselves behind try and do so with either insults, passive-aggressive comments, and/or other attempts of shaming. In truth, they probably see it as someone who hates their guts trying to tell them what to do. They have little reason to listen to someone like that no matter what they are saying.

I will also say, these GMB people are in a position of power and everyone that tries to negotiate with them and move them from there seems to have zero idea on how to negotiate. It's both interesting and baffling.

For me it's just that the relationship between man and woman is and has always been extremely inequitable.

Like a husband is expected to buy his wife a house and be willing to throw away his life for hers at the drop of a hat, all while spending the rest of his life listening to her complain. All a woman is expected to have is a vagina and a pulse, and a man is supposed to be enamoured to simply be in her presence. Some would even say that a wife is expected to be a thorn in her husband's side.

Adding to that, the fact that he had to buy her an expensive ass piece of carbon that does nothing, JUST to put himself in a position to ASK if he could bear all her problems and handle all her financial needs and wants.... forever... man the whole thing just has me looking at marriage like, "Who came up with this?"

So when you realize that, you realize that the only real reason for marriage is to raise kids, because what man in their right mind would sign up for the above otherwise?

FACTS. The whole concept always seemed goofy and one sided to me.

Nailed it.

If I'm a single man and I decide that I want pizza, I can be shoes-on in the car on my way to get pizza within about 5 mins. That's the "comfort" that you speak of; if I want something, there's nobody and nothing standing in the way of that something.

If you're in a relationship and you want pizza there's this whole flowchart of shyt you have to get through to even get the pizza (assuming she wants pizza at all. If she doesn't... you not getting pizza bruh.) AND if you are lucky enough to get the pizza, it's gonna be at LEAST an hour and a half and it's gonna cost 4x as much (because of course she wants appetizers, drinks, entree, AND dessert).

And so you're right. Abandoning a life of sovereignty in exchange for having to compromise on every damn thing (and having to pay... what's the average wedding price nowadays, $40k to get it) is a non-starter for me. I just don't understand why anyone would do that.

 

[Atlrocafella]

Easy to get into, and can be damn near suicidal to get out of, who wants that headache? You got people offing the whole family just because the wife decided to file for Divorce, threaten to take the kids, and take half or all your shyt.


I don’t even want to be put in the mindframe of someone that this is happening to.

The thing to me is women are so fickle and change like the wind.


She can love you today and be willing to spend the rest of her life with you and then tomorrow say it's over and never talk to you again.

Yup that's the hard thing for me. I love to travel and I love photography. I remember dating women and they didn't like that I travelled or tried to intejecr how I spent my money that I work for.

Do you really need a PC, steam deck and a ps5 um yeah

Do you really need that 1200 lens shouldn't you save

I don't want to go to there I want to travel to here

"Goofy" is a fantastic way to describe it. I also resent the indoctrination that we're supposed to be SOOOO EXCITED to marry some (probably worthless) woman. You tell people you don't wanna get married and they look at you like you just lit a baby on fire. shyt's weird.

 

[Loken]

you got to understand GMB is world wide hell we even got some women in GMB

at the end of the day GMB is all we got breh

Lol@black community...

I don't knock what the next man do, but if you getting married to show the black community how it's done, that's just being naive...

Nobody staying together for the kids anymore lol...

Just know that in advance
