[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely it is. Whenever I hear people lost benefits on why people should get married I point to how they’re outweighed by the HUGE risk of divorce. All of those "benefits" are a moot point as once you're divorced you will end up paying CS and in some cases alimony. In a lot of cases the government makes money off of your CS so it encourages them to hit you with the highest possible amount as possible. [/quote] Child support is cheaper than actually raising your kids so if you can get your ex to do it all on the state’s child support calculation you’re winning. [quote] Top that off by the fact 80% of divorces are initiated by women (90% of college educated) there is too much risk. If you're a man who has built his empire and worked hard, it's put at risk as soon as you marry. [/quote] Well first men should marry before the “empire building” phase of life, but in any case, your divorce statistics don’t take into consideration the fact that risk of divorce is much much lower when both parties are college-educated and married after 25. [quote] I've seen men lose their businesses, livelihoods and in some cases built a house for their wife, (who cheated on him) and he lost it. I have friends that have lived out of a box eating Ramen for years because of being taken to the cleaners. You're 3-4 times more likely to commit suicide as a man, it jumps up to 9 times if you're a divorced man. You lose access to you home, your kids and get your income stolen from you. [/quote] You’re not talking about rich men here, obviously. [quote] There is no "traditional" women anymore. At the end of the day the state encourages them to divorce and these women are just using the tools put in front of them to take advantage of it. Only 11 or 12 states have 50/50 by default for custody. It should be 50 [/quote] Divorce rates have gone down. And in the vast majority of cases men don’t have more custody because they either don’t ask for it or don’t take what they’re ordered. [quote] At the end of the day - as a man - no one will help you, no one cares about you or will have any empathy for you. You have to look out for yourself and the best way to do that is to take minimal risks that will destroy your livelihood. Society has shown it has utter disdain for men; best thing you can do for yourselves is to not play a game where the odds are not in your favor. Not only are they stacked against you, you have people actively looking to make you lose everything. I've had friends where their ex-wives divorce lawyers put restraining orders and make false claims of abuse to just to ensure they win. And I say had, because at least one of them ended his life based on these allegations and think is ex-wife gives a shit the actions she pulled led to him unaliving himself? Nope, she gets his life insurance and will be banging a new guy in a month.[/quote] What about all the men who murder their wives for threatening to divorce them? Happens all the time. Far more often than your anecdote. [/quote]
