The same goes for men. The reason for marriage is that it is a superior format for raising children.

Most men don't get emotional support from other men, and a lot of men don't do much housechores.

Do they generate messes, dirty dishes, stinky sheets & drawers, eaten magical meals, use utilities, drive a vehicle someone else maintains, wear down house systems and appliances, etc. Etc.?

Do they proactively take care of the above for themselves or others or dependents?

A lot of them don't proactively clean up, no, but they do generate messes.

However, I do think having an s/o is nice for companionship. It's not quite the same as having a same sex friend, and it's not all about sex. OTH, I'd rather be alone that have a man-child. Luckily, I am not married to a man/child. I got married at 33, which is considered old in my culture back in the day (I'm in my 50s), because I didn't want to marry a man/child. I was prepared to stay single if I did not find a good catch. Luckily, I did.

Did you ever have kids with your spouse?
That’s the ultimate test for who can or will grow up or not.

Many males retreat into themselves instead of rising to the demands of parenting and being an active homeowner or family member.

Agree.

And it destroys the marriage and relationships.

Net liabilities.

OK, I’ll bite, since my woman seems to like having me around.

Sex - I am younger than she is, plus she gets the full lovers-in-love experience vs. using a boy toy.
Child - We have plenty of grown ones between us.
Money - Her money plus my money = 2X the money.
Emotional support - my emotional support plus her women friends’ = 2X the emotional support.
Taking care of the home and a man-child - She hates to cook and shop and has a job, while I love to do both (and am retired), plus vacuuming, handyman fixing, car maintenance, running errands.
Longevity - We’re not married, but even if we were it’s hard to imagine a reduction in her lifetime caused by all of the above.

What say you?

I'm a dp, but you are clearly an outlier! You know that the bolded items are not common for men. Your gf is very lucky to have you! But please don't discount the fact that many men do not provide emotional support or their share of household chores.

Many makes retreat into themselves instead of rise to the challenge of parenting and being an active home owner or family member.

So you won't become a lonely shrew on a message board.

LOL

All of the women complaining can't get decent guys because they're frumpy strivers with bad attitudes.

Women with good personalities and looks generally don't have this problem.

Lol. Bro, I’m married and a lonely shrew on a message board. Women are FAR less lonely when they’re not in a hetero relationship because we don’t have to give up our village to raise kids.

A woman surrounded by her friends is not lonely.

Nor get easy sex, nor have a child, nor live longer. This pp is delulu thinking men are on the same wavelength. If they were, thre wouldn't be a male loneliness crisis.
