[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marriage is generally a worse deal for women these days- especially if middle class and especially if there are kids. Women are expected to both work FT yet still do the majority of childcare and management of the home/family. Families who make more $$$ can afford to hire more  assistance which helps this a lot. But usually not nearly enough to make things “equal”.

Marriage is also riskier for women because men are simply….riskier. Look at all the posts about DHs going totally off the rails- alcoholism, abuse, untreated mental illness, bad midlife crisis, or just doing absolutely  zero with the kids/house for years on end etc. Women are far less likely to let things get that bad. They can go through some real sh!t yet usually find a way to keep themselves fairly together for the kids’ sake- at the very least. [/quote]

Why then are there so many posts on here about women wanting men to settle down and get married? Is it that unmarried women somehow haven't gotten the message? Is it that women are unable to think rationally? It seems to me that there is no shortage of MC/UMC women who are desperate to get married. It is rarely a man who is desperate to lock down a woman in marriage, which is what you'd expect if it was such a great deal for men.[/quote]

Woman here and I agree.
