Ya'll are so childish. I wasn’t going to respond because you're not interested in having an intelligent conversation. You just wanna be right. But I decided to not be like you and I decided to be an adult about it.
I have said in this thread men should protect themselves via education, prenuptial agreements and by being with a partner that makes similar income as them. The divorce rates are also public knowledge if you cared to look. But you wanna jump past that so you can "kick me in the nutz."
But I feel like I am repeating myself at this point. If you think your scenario is winning by all means do you because lord know our community is better for it. *sarcasm* I think I made my case. I really have nothing more to add.
"Hey single man making an above-average income and living a lifestyle he thinks is fulfilling, you know what you ought to do? Get married. Now I know there are a lot of risks involved, because we grown women basically stop maturing at sixteen and thus don't really know what we want day-to-day, but I've come up with a right proper solution - spend
your time
you could be doing the things
you find already fulfilling learning how to protect
yourself!"
It must hurt to "think" how you "think."
Let's revisit a comment a few posts above yours.
Moreover you assumed men think it's too hard to run a family, when there's a distinct difference in something being too difficult, vs. not being worth it, or something you simply don't have the desire to do. I could start a family at any time and do my damndest to make it work, but if the partners available don't have a like mind, or think they can do better, or I should be substantially better than I am, the "family" will be doomed from inception.
What's hard about this, ma'am?
Women take on zero risk in marriage. Men take on all the risk.
And no. It's not "risk" when make up in your head that Michael B. Jordan might have come knocking at your door if hadn't gotten married.
When you ask someone else to form a legal bond with you, where they will be taking on the entire risk burden, YOU need to be the one to convince said someone of outcome is substantially beneficial and YOU need to be the one who ensure you're not the reason the bond is broken. As it stands, the reason (black) men are avoidant of marriage is because
(black) women don't want to be married and the black community, which has been matrifocal for three generations now, has suffered immensely for it. In this thread, even most of the guys who are against marriage are only against it due to the legal power women have to bring nothing, yet take away everything. (Black) women, especially in Western societies, have an established track record of not being fit for marriage AND the attitude that (black) men better just put up it.

What is it that makes you all believe anyone is pining to deal with that?
I realize you think (black) men are big, dumb wallet-penises who are going to fall for your shyt, but there's a reason why you're middle-aged, used up and have no ring on your own finger, ma'am.
