And a quick note for any male readers, when a woman says "let's live together, we'll save money" she means she will save money, not you. You will pay the mortgage and utilities just like you always did, and she will spend her former mortgage and utility payments on herself. Yay equality!

This is not true and is a hasty generalization. If you are attracting needy women, then you need to take a serious look at yourself. It's you. Plus, you live together, so you can just leave or refuse to pay the other half of the mortgage. Or better yet, since you bought the house together, then only pay half each month. It will ruin her credit as well as yours. She will not risk ruining her credit and then have to get a new place to live after the relationship falls apart.

See, how that works? When you attract an equal partner, you are not left footing the bill for everything. Stop playing the victim.

ALL women are like that. The only way to avoid female parasitism is not to live with them in the first place.

"you can just leave or refuse to pay the other half of the mortgage" or "only pay half each month" <-- this is never going to happen and you know it

Are you implying that people only marry for procreation purposes? What about all the people who don't want kids? They should never marry? Or people whose kids are grown and for whatever reason those people are not married - they should be single forever?

People marry for companionship. Come on.

No, I don't see any point in getting married "for companionship". Nor do I see any point in marrying once kids are grown.

You can get companionship without the piece of paper. You are companions the whole time you were dating, right? Nothing about the wedding ceremony makes you more companion-y.

Marriage is a business deal. No point in signing up for that deal without a very compelling reason. Kids are the only compelling reason.
