Men, Math and Marriage--arguments against marriage

Post Reply New Topic

Funny, as how you are only concentrating on the bad in guys, and never giving any examples of how men can be good, or valiant. Why do you constantly need to point out evil guys, and not the opposite. This actually does suggest you dislike men, and think men to be all violent, instead of seeing the good in them. Women are great to me, and me to them, you are just disrupting this. I hope you find some man who agrees with you, and matches your personality, I hope to high heaven you do.

Violent? Hmm, don't blame society for everything. Men are not completely responsible for the world's hurt, not by a long-shot.

Okay, so AnonymousGirl agrees with Mr. Elam.

One reason for a man to marry is if he wants to have his own biologic children, if for no other reason than to have someone to get his stuff when he dies. If a single person dies alone--possibly when his mail piles up, the mailman will decide to call the police to investigate after a few days. If he uses a PO box, then he could be rather thoroughly decomposed before anyone bothers to call anyone to look for him.

In some countries, men feel obliged to marry in order to please their parents. In the USA, everyone's first priority is to please one's self.

Since we don't have our own wombs, and child support can get expensive (and land us in prison if we can't pay), taking the risk of marriage would probably be our best option, and is still generally regarded as the most noble (even if it is increasingly considered an exercise in stupidity), if we want our own children. A less risky option would be to find and pay a willing surrogate (as gay couples sometimes do), but that only becomes feasible if you are as wealthy as Elton John, and can hire a wetnurse and nanny.

Yes. One reason for a man to marry is to have a wife who will serve as an inexpensive breeder, and who will be less expensive than hiring a surrogate, wetnurse and nanny.

Other than that, the economic costs and risks might seem to exceed the benefits.

From what I'm told, a fleshlight makes for a decent substitute.

How about this: Society encourages the sexes to hate each other. That's what I think. Too much battle of the sexes, even on jovial terms (like game shows for instance). Why do we always need pissing contests between the sexes?

Possibly because of gender roles like the guy is dominant the gal is submissive, the guy is the follow the gal is the leader, the guy is the captain the gal is the first mate. Those gender roles seem to make interaction a power play and gender identity since if the guy doesn't wear the pants aka isn't dominating, leading, or the one in charge he's less of a guy and she's less of a gal.

Well, illegitimacy rates are on the rise. Marriage is hardly a pre-requisite for breeding any more. I suppose that a man who was a bit old-fashioned might consider a marriage commitment with a good breeder to be in his own best interest, if he wanted what he thought was best for his brood.

On the other hand, even if a man does marry a good breeder, both she and he know very well that if he ever does anything to displease her, and even if he doesn't, then she and her lawyer can take him for everything he has.

A paid surrogate, paid wetnurse, and paid nanny would involve considerably more outlays up front, but would considerably reduce a man's exposure to risk.

My experience in contrary; I've seen that in many families I've known, the women are actually the ones who make most of the decisions and call the shots. And I live in the midwest!

Funny is how when the topic is magically waving and making a person 'bad' I'm suppose to talk about good guys or I dislike guys and think men are all violent....despite how earlier I said thinking men are all violent is a low misandric opinion.

I don't have a constant need to point out evil in guys it seems you're the one with a constant need to always have the good in guys pointed out in them even when good is not being discussed. For all your "women are great to me" I also didn't mention any good gals so how come you're not oh so upset that I'm only concentrating on the bad in gals never giving any examples of how gals can be good?

Egh blaming society isn't holding guys completely responsible as society is made of both genders. She even states this is upheld by all genders. Where did you get this solely blaming men?
