Why would a man get married in 2023?

[Anonymous]

Any woman who would be a net positive financial won't be interested, and women, more generally, only care about themselves and their kids. Cannot find a woman who would sacrifice anything meaningful for her husband. I see no reason why a man would get married these days.

Lol even my DH knows that he'd be screwed without me (though not literally). Marriage is such a good deal for men.

The better question is why would a woman get married? My two daughters don’t see the benefit.

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm 45, divorced with two kids, and very well off financially. I love having my space to myself and my kids (they are with their dad 50% of the time). Not sure what marriage would help me with?

It’s more of a detriment for women to marry than for men.

If I had to do it over again I probably wouldn't get married. My spouse is a decent person, I just prefer being alone and not having to share space with someone. I think I felt like getting married was something people were supposed to do and that kinda pushed me into it.

I don't mind cooking/cleaning/laundry which seem the main benefits people talk about with marriage. That stuff is also dramatically easier than with a family/kids.

Ridiculous

I'm sorry that you're unable to attract a net positive woman. And that you see caring about your mutual kids as a bad thing. Perhaps those issues are connected?

I'm married and been married a long time. I don't know why anyone would get married anymore. Things now are not like they were decades ago.

PP is right. Men get married because they want access to sex without having to put in any effort. They also want someone to help with household things and to care for their kids. Men who are widowed often remarry right away because they can’t handle being alone.

Married men live longer than single men, OP.

Ask yourself why this might be.

Why would a woman? Far worse deal for them. I am advising my daughters not to marry.
