[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men need marriage more than women do. Women do it so they can have kids. Men do it so someone will take care of them. When a husband dies, a woman usually takes her time to get remarried, if at all. When a woman dies, the man usually starts dating and remarries  quickly.[/quote]

Total bullshit. Single men "take care of themselves" just fine.

Men get married because they want sex and affection. Tragically this usually dries up after a few years when the woman gets bored and knows that now she's got him hooked, she doesn't have to provide sex and there's nothing he can do about it unless he wants to give her half his shit.

The difference in remarriage rate is due to the difference in attractiveness. Older men remain attractive, so they can get remarried. Older women, not so much.[/quote]

I think for women with enough income to support themselves comfortably, they may not see value in getting married again.

Women end up doing more of the home work anyway and now you have to adjust to another person’s preferences and whims again.  What’s the point?[/quote]

Easily half the men can’t handle kids, a home, a schedule, eating decently without their Mom’s or a wife. Thus when they get divorced, dumped, or widowed they quickly get attached again. Problem is, they usually get dumped once the woman realize he has nothing to add to the picture and cannot be counted in to take care if anything. [/quote]

I'm a divorced guy. I don't need anyone to handle "kids, a home, a schedule, eating decently". Seriously, WTF is that? What guy doesn't know how to do that after he graduates from college and gets a job? I don't know any guys who have a woman doing that for them. My wife sure didn't do all that for me when I was married to her, so I'm certainly not looking for someone to replace the "caretaking" that wasn't even happening.

I'm scratching my head at this idea of a woman who marries a guy who "adds nothing to the picture" but somehow doesn't figure out that he "adds nothing to the picture" until after she's actually married him. Why was she so clueless?[/quote]
