[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math just doesn’t seem to work.  Why not just have kids with your girlfriend and never get married?[/quote]

What quality woman would sign up for that?[/quote]

In the US, 40% of all children born these days are born to unwed mothers:

And what is their socio-economic status? I’d venture to guess that it’s poor.[/quote]

Studies show kids do best when the parents are married, kids in home with single fathers have similar statistics.

For example, studies have found that children that from single-mother households are 5 times more likely to commit suicide than children from both unbroken households and single-father households, 9 times more likely to drop out of high school, 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 14 times more likely to commit rape, 20 times more likely to end up in prison and 32 times more likely to run away from home.
The list does not stop there, single-mother households also account for 70% of all teen pregnancies, 70% of all child murders, and they account for the majority of filicide cases, which means yes, a child living in a single-mother household is the most likely to be murdered by their parent.
Most at this point will probably think that the stepfather is the main killer and reason; however, studies have found this to be false and that stepparents are no more likely to kill children than their biological counterparts.

This means inevitably, that single mothers are on average the biggest killers of children, some studies even show that mothers are the biggest killers of children overall.

Studies show single-father households are on par with two-parent households.

As for those with coparenting situations - the less a father is in the life of a child the more likely they are to engage in riskier behaviors which include taking drugs and teen pregnancy.  I’m a lot of cases custody is denied to the father.  Fathers are granted custody only 18.3% of the time. Mothers are awarded child support nearly 2 times as often as fathers are. Fathers are awarded nearly 10% less, on average, in child support.

These are all risk factors to weigh if you’re a single man looking to get married.  There is no reason as a man ti engage in a risky contract that has at least a 1 in 2 chance of failure with you losing not only your wealth but your family.  Keep in mind the suicide rate for males is already 3-4 times higher than women and jumps to 9 times if you’re a divorced male.  Given these risks it’s better for men ti not engage in marriage until the laws change
