All I know is if you want to max out your lifetime earnings and lifespan --- you should probably get married.

I wouldn't make important life decisions based on outliers. Yeah some dudes can max out their potential and live a long life as a bachelor. But most brothas won't. A wife and children motivate people to unlock potential they didn't know they had.

Most dudes promoting GMB probably can't compete with other men to get the wifey material chicks so they devote their life to an online movement against marriage.

You're confusing correlation with causation. If you know that women don't marry men whose income they can't live off of, that means that you have to hustle to get to a point where your income can support the household or at least allow her to work part time whilst you work full time.

It's lots of broke married people out there and lots of rich single people out there. I'd understand if your argument is that you'd get a second income from the spouse and thus be able to afford things you couldn't on your own, but these days people are conditioning women to be financial liabilities rather than financial assets to a man's life.


Marriage was never designed to benefit men. It was designed to benefit the extended family, and to benefit children and women. Children don't work and can't pay their own way, and neither could women for many years. Now that you have women earning 60-90k a year whilst in their 30s, they don't need the financial support of men. They want access to his finances but if she doesn't like him she can move on because she makes her own bread.

Marriage is a legal arrangement that could benefit you potentially with tax breaks, but you also have to ask yourself if you can still get by without those tax breaks or if you know the loopholes you can take advantage of.

For men marriage is a huge risk. You risk introducing new family dynamics that will stress you out with inlaws, you risk debt paying for the wedding, you risk debt in the event that Stella wants to get her groove back and divorce you. You risk humiliation and financial debt if you're married to a woman who cheats on you and bears the child of the other man. In most states, if a child is born while you're married, the courts recognize you as the legal father even if DNA says otherwise. You're financially responsible for that man's child as the cuckold.

I’ll give Kevin Samuels credit on this one. When you are married it’s easier to get promoted and keep jobs. Not for women unfortunately if they have children. Because they are viewed as a liability unfortunately. Which isn’t fair. But for men it Might sound dumb. But white folks in blue collar jobs really look at you differently when you have a family. They favor you in promotions over married men because they feel like you value the job better. I’m speaking on experience. With that said of course if you single and got a good job and don’t want to get married I respect it. But It’s not the government that does not provide incentives though. There are a lot of if you know what to look for. Scholarships for children. Bigger Tax returns on just having a dependent in itself being a wife. . They have a lot further to go. A lot. But as a married man I can’t think of many financial or legal disadvantages to having children or being married. Unless you get divorced.The disadvantage is the actual cost of a family. Been married 9 years now. Groceries, tuition and all that. Which is why I don’t bash single people. Because the cost of living is mad expensive. But it’s a capitalistic country.

Yeah I don’t judge people who don’t want families. But these threads should come with disclaimers. “I have never been married but I’m gonna speak on it”. Or “I am unhappily married” or “I am divorced” and of course “I am paying child support”. Lol. Happily married men all say the same things and they don’t wanna accept we happy and cool with our lives lol or that marriage gives us benefits

As GMB as I am can't agree with this. There was a time where marriage provided some benefit to us, but in the post-feminism era it's been overridden/erased.
