Getting a * good deal* like women claim. They always bring up the same set of things that they do us. Here is the deal it’s just not true. Yes our mothers offered all those perks to our dads. Our wives are not. And I am glad they are not because we should be contributing equally to everything. But women today (and in a way I feel bad) are under immense pressure from society (or maybe feminists ) to seek their own happiness (which is good) and men as a result are under a microscope.

I did everything on that list every week except meals and those we ordered from a company. I also taught the kids and earned half the money. I don't understand what men want women to be these days. Women are doing most of the working in the US now and the childrearing. What exactly do men bring to the table comparatively if and I repeat if they aren't making more than the median income? The median income is about $150k around here I believe. What does a guy making say $100k bring to a marriage compared to a woman making the same?

This actually isn't true. Reputable studies show that in married couples, men do more work overall when taking into account work outside and inside the home. Look up the Pew studies on working. Women work more hours on average in the home, which is why it seems to women that they do more work--because they don't see the greater amount of work being done by men outside of the house. Of course, this is just averages, and I'm sure we'll get lots of anecdotal responses here from women who swear they do so much more than their husbands.

Post the study. Love to know the breakdown of office work, housework, kid work, personal time, sleep, sitting on a plane, eating.

I know what it’s in our two income hosuehold.

Your response is the anecdotal stuff I mentioned. I’m sure you perceive yourself as working more overall. Whether that’s true in your case is beside the point.

I didn’t read this whole study, but at first glance, it does show men with children as having more leisure time than their wives.

That's because "leisure time" is defined narrowly to certain categories of non-working activities. That doesn't mean that mean work less. You can see from the study that married men work slightly longer hours (at home and out of the home) overall, on average, than married women.

I thought it was just because women need more sleep than men do on average.

Lol.

Men get way more sleep and personal time per 24 hour period than a working mom with kids.

Over their lifetimes, women on average sleep thousands more hours than men.

Per year average or total hours of sleep in a lifetime (regardless of age at death)?

Women sleep 20 minutes more than men. Over a lifetime that's many thousands of hours.

I thought that biologically women just need to sleep more than men. Just like women have higher pitched voices than men. It’s an effect of not having as much testosterone.

As far as work goes, men are better at short bursts and big projects. Women are better at constantly moving and working. Women get anxious about having things build up because they don’t have as much testosterone and never get those bursts of energy. Men don’t understand this feeling.

Women just want the 100 percent of modern systems, machines and all of modern life that men invented/created and does repairs on. Men should check out and let it all fall apart. That would be a great movie as women get angrier and angrier as the years go by.

What on earth would the men do if all the screens were broken?
They’re too out of shape and mushy to do any basic survival skills. Even if they knew any.

lol

Like that article out there on middle school makes not paying attention in class or turning in assignments.

Has nothing to do with goofing around in their phone and chromebooks in class 24/7.

No it’s the middle school girls’ faults. They pay attention.

Who cares, if it's a life of misery?

Also, I saw a brand-new study which showed that gap in life expectancy narrowing significantly.

Last, I tell every young man I know, "Do not get married, and if you're dumb enough to get married, DO NOT have children." Much better to have a series of girlfriends, and trade them in every couple of years.

Men need to start being more like women, and only take care of themselves.

OK, then. You're a troll. No one could have this bad of an understanding of human history.

Yup. Trolls are losers. Stop using strangers on the internet to get your thrills. Weirdo.

I wish someone had told me this 10 years ago.

+1. Agree.

Society dictates that people get married and have children for appearances, lest society think something is wrong with you. What happens is that people get married and have kids, create more problems for themselves, and think that those with "more money" have it so easy. In fact, they don't know what other people have or don't have - but continually comparing themselves to others inevitably makes them miserable. Why bother at all, really?

I wish people like you wouldn't marry and have kids either, so that those of us with happy families wouldn't have to deal with you and your miserable kids. Not that I blame your poor kids. But the world is not in need of more people.

You can go off and live your selfish life with other selfish people and we can socialize with and share resources with other happy, like-minded people raising well-adjusted and kind kids.

Not saying all single people are selfish (I know many wonderful single people), but I wish the selfish people would just stay single and childless.

Ask yourself why this might be.

Probably because wealthier men are more likely to marry in the first place. These out of context statistics are always dumb

This is why I think the Single Mothers By Choice are the most abhorrent of all. You have entrenched selfishness into an identity, and then purposefully brought a child into that paradigm. As if one is entitled to reproduce without involving another person, just because they really really really want a kid. That’s insane!

Ah they’re not counting the two hours in the chair or sofa couch at 9pm! Or all those weekend afternoon naps to avoid the kids or schedule.

You just described my fat, lazy ex-wife's schedule.

Because married men live a heck of a lot longer than single men and have a higher happiness rating..... For women it is the literal opposite. So the better question is why would women get married in 2023?

It's a good deal for some incompetent men.

I'm a man who knows how to care for myself, my home, my kids, and my dog. I'm so much happier divorced than I was married.

The Pew foundation conducted scientific research which concluded the majority of women of childbearing age in the DMV are mentally ill (insane).

Women in this area are definitely not the women anyone should marry.
