Don't need watch to know the answer. Marriage for men in today's world is a losing game (from the system favoring females in court with a coin-toss chance of divorce to the limited quality of marriage worthy women) and men are slowly realizing that. Simple.

  1. People are highly indivualistic & mistakenly believe that they can get farther in life without a spouse.
  2. Men falsely believe that single life is always the better option when statistics show that married men live longer, are healthier & happier than their single counterparts.
  3. Men internalize the widely perceived & promoted imbalance of the divorce court system. They don’t realize that the vast majority of them are not in a tax bracket where they would be the victim of any alimony payments at all.
  4. Too many people didn’t grow up around healthy marriages, so they are lost when it comes to choosing a partner. This is for women AND men. The people that were exposed to healthy relationships then have to exhaust themselves to teach others healthy boundaries...while having their own learnings to work on (I’m sorry, but this is basically double duty).
  5. Too many people believe that child rearing between coparents vs healthy married couples are created equal.
BONUS: Why women aren’t getting married...
  1. Women keep giving husband privileges to boyfriends. A boyfriend does not, and will never, deserve the gift of continuing his legacy through your womb. Cohabitation ain’t working in the best interest for women either...but if you must, have a timeline for marriage & stick to it or leave.
  2. Women need to learn when to leave a dead end relationship & stop wasting their own damn time.

I just don't care for it. I will do it because I won't be young forever and want my kids raised in a stable household. I will do it in my mid 30's with a woman in her early 30s to mid 30s. I will pick carefully though. I have zero interest in the attention whoring social media types we see this day. Their egos are too big while not bringing much of value to the table.
