Why do women want men so badly?

I'd be in a much more comfortable position (and DCUM Middle Class) with a spouse earning similarly to me.

Also, it would be nice for someone to share life with. But need - absolutely not. And in another lower cost of living town, it would solely be for companionship.

+1. I find it interesting that these single women posting are making 500k+ which is how much I would need to replace my husband's income.

But if 95% of people are getting married in the US - that leaves no one to buy all those condos! And condos are going up everywhere. There must be millions of empty condos in this country.

If you are a single woman, it's clear that you are going to be the only person you know above the age of 40 who is single. So there will be no one to live in these condos, which means prices are about to PLUMMET.

Looks like we single ladies are going to get some cheap housing. This is all working out perfectly...

No. I was responding to the poster talking about how she doesn't need to get married because she has this awesome life in her condo. I was pointing out that actually, condos suck.

I haven't seen anyone posting with that income. I make much less than that but still prefer being single.

Only to a certain point. Unmarried men in their late 30s or 40s who think they are "having fun" usually come across as pathetic and fooling only themselves.

So you are the same poster, huh? Multiple posting just like you did on the eligible bachelor thread.

You have now convinced me that you work for a matchmaking company. I can see no other reason why someone would be THIS invested in convincing women to get married.

I would say that's true more than women. Men benefit more from marriage. Their happiness goes up during marriage, whereas the opposite happens for women.

Just like men get remarried super fast after divorce, while women dont.

It's just a much better deal for them, and people are starting to catch on.

Actually not having to deal with all the SFH bullshit is awesome. With the mosquitoes around here, spending thousands for a manicured yard you can enjoy only a couple months a year is madness. YMMV, of course.

It is this attitude - this societal pressure - that makes people get married when they are otherwise not well suited for marriage. Single = pathetic.

I'm moving to Scandinavia.

I hate to break it to you but they have relationships just like marriages. They just don't have a wedding.

Because babies. That's why we need men.
