I agree with some sentiments I've seen in here. I like the idea and concept of marriage, but whenever I get my head out of the clouds and back into reality it just isn't the right choice for me. I've seen too much personally to ever understand why I would put myself into that position like I've seen family and friends. These men are going through it and are miserable.
The benefits, I understand, IF I wanted children and a family or to "build," but we all know finding women of that caliber ain't happening realistically. I also do not want children (spare me that "legacy" bullshyt talk. That's just pure ego), so I just don't see the need. I went to college and birds were there, birds are around post-college, so the "higher education" part means nothing to me. I personally knew an engineer who still went on dates after work just so men would feed her, and she wouldn't have to save money. Literally told me out of her mouth she leads men on just to buy her things, so she could save money for her own needs.
The whole "industry" part of marriage and divorce is self-explanatory.
I also am shameless and guiltless, which counters the only strategies I ever hear from other people when attempting to force a decision for you.
"You gonna end up old and lonely"

!!!!
Says who? Contrary to popular belief (particularly in our community) some people genuinely prefer to just be alone. I do not intend to be old and trying to chase p*ssy, as there are other merits to living beyond trying to hump everything in sight. Second, not everyone feels these harsh effects of "loneliness." I understand humans are social, and some people truly "need" compassion from others, even I to a degree but if you're going to sign up for that bad deal just to not sleep alone? Why would I take advice or suggestion from weak-minded individuals who seek commitment out of fear?
Lastly, most men and women out here are not really worth their weight in terms of even being "marriage material." Most parties in relationships lack any communication, self-control, or discipline but want to legally commit to a life together? Then try to shame other people into making the same poor decisions they did, just to have someone to complain to all day. "The wife, amIright?"
