I think men, and women, marry because they are in love and are optimist about their future life together. Sadly, it doesn’t always work out but it’s nice at the start.

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.

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.

Have kids,
Free childcare
Someone to clean the house
Extra paycheck income
Need a date at some events
Someone to take care of me
Runs the schedules and holidays
All those bills and emails to respond to
Buy me new clothes and shoes
Provide delicious meals and foods at home
