Millennials say no to marriage

"Today's young adults are on track have the lowest rates of marriage by age 40 compared to any previous generation. If the current pace continues, more than 30% of Millennial women will remain unmarried by age 40, nearly twice the share of their Gen X counterparts, according to a recent Urban Institute report.

And that could have serious economic repercussions for both the Millennials and the nation as a whole.

There are several reasons behind the plunge. The importance of marriage has been diminishing for years... "

The children of the children of one of the first generations of broken homes raised during the rise of a technology dependent society heavily physically invested in their electronics aren't marrying as much.

shocker.

Marriage is a terrible prospect for a guy no matter how cool the woman seems. Once the ring goes on her finger, all bets are off. Take it from a married guy

No-fault divorce, alimony, having your children held for ransom...no thanks jeff.

[leafs43]

Sign a document that no matter what you do with your life, 50% of it doesn't belong to you.


Pass....

Sadly when those 40 year old women to decide they want a child there will be plenty of limp dick betas just drooling at the shot at their old vags 8 times a year.

It didn't say they didn't want children until 40, but that they weren't interested in marriage until then.

This line of thinking is what the problem is. Most people have more love for their "stuff" that the actual relationships which is one cause of people splitting anyway. It screams selfishness.

It also goes both ways with a person wanting to hurt and take away everything from the other person.

When you're living down by the river in a van and chitting in a bucket in the corner because you got took for everything because its the only way you can afford alimony and child support to avoid jail in a rigged court system, then it may dawn on you that "stuff" matters.

[gachase21]

Op you should resist this trend, get married, and produce more conservatives.

[justoutforarip]

no point in men getting married today

not with current no fault divorce laws. that plus child support, alimony, losing your kids

f*ck that. why should men get the short end of the stick?

bullsh*t

a guy here was a lawyer. he got divorced and the payments were crazy high, too much for him to afford. so he takes out loans and sells some stuff, enough to pay it for a few months. guy is low on money, so he sells his home. eventually he can't pay, his wife has him charged and he goes to jail. a few months after she drops charges and he gets out.

...but now he's f*cked. go to jail, lose your license to practice law. so he's a ex lawyer convict with alimony payments coming out the ass, obviously can't continue to pay, bitch has him sent to jail again

brb sitting in jail broke as hell with no job and no future, with no rights to see your children, all because your wife is a vindictive bitch

no, that is not selfishness. that is insanity.

Do you know how you can keep from getting a divorce because your wife fuks around on you, you don't make enough money or your cawk isn't big enough?

Stop going out of your way to find shallow hoes. Seriously. Guys drool over obvious hoes...the strippers, the pieces of meat practically fingerbanging themselves on tinder, the girls that suck dick 10 minutes after they meet them...and then are dumb enough to marry these meatsacks and totally shocked when the hoe they married ends up acting like...a hoe

I sure as **** wouldn't even trust the good ones with my financial life. Lots of things can change in 10+ 20+ 30+ years and I've worked too hard to build my assets/business to risk it all. The system is just too stacked now.

There's more to it than that. Guys culturally are taught to be able to support a family when they get married, especially the middle class guys. So with college grads working jobs that don't even require college, that's gonna put their plans to get married on hold.

Another part of it is increasing economic independence of women. They don't have to have a man be the breadwinner, so their being pickier about who to marry.

More and more people are graduating college and still living with their parents for financial reasons, so again they are waiting longer on marriage than before for that reason.


I'm sure what you say might have something to do with it, but there's no one single reason it's happening. There are a lot of things at play that are all pushing in the same direction.

And that's also part of it.


Another thing is the culture of divorce. A lot of people in the past simply REFUSED to get divorced for any reason whatsoever. They stuck together even if they hated each other. So some reasons for divorce and not marrying are good, while other reasons might be things most people consider bad reasons.

This.

Most divorce courts are happy to rake a man over the coals, sure. Doesn't matter if you find a woman worth marrying in the first place.

*Getting married and having lots of kids crew*
*Radical traditionalism crew*

Engendering fear of commitment, fidelity, and even reproduction in worthy men is exactly what liberals have set out to do. Don't play by their rules.

[leafs43]

Something like 80% of the divorces occur from women under the age of 30.


Basically playing russian roulette with your finances, but with only 1 empty chamber in the revolver.

[Lakersbake]

This, combined with greater emphasis on career/wealth prior to reproducing is why we are seeing white birth rate dropping off.

You think Latinos analyze all this bull**** before they pop out 5 kids?

[Renegade83]

I think anyone with real assets, as in houses, automobiles, stocks, hefty retirement plans needs to consult with a lawyer and a financial planner before they ever consider getting married. Unfortunately, marriage stopped being about love a long time ago, it is now a financial contract that is heavily biased towards the woman. If you don't recognize that then you will probably get hosed by it eventually.

odds are you'll get divorced

and won't be saying those things when you do. brb child support to 6 of your conservative children and alimony .

divorce rate in latino (and many other communities) is basically non existant

latinos asians indians etc do not get divorced, at all. if it was similar for the white community, perhaps people wouldn't be so averse to marriage.

Why would they need to analyze it?

I don't think divorce lawyers are lining up to take a 5% cut from the proceeds of a shack behind Lowes.

Meh, it's more of making a good choice and then handling it right.

I got 2 kids , married 15 yrs, nada real problem really.

Honestly if we were to split and each got half, I'll still be ok financially. I still know how to work. I'm pretty sure that won't happen with us though.

It was convenient to have her by my side taking care of me after major injuries.

Good families build each other up and help each other through rough times, good investment if done right.

That's because all those cultures kept traditional roles. White ppl dun goofed.

[IDrinkBloodLOL]

On one hand that seems like a shame.

On the other most of this generation isn't fit for marriage anyway.

All it means for me is that I'd better make sure to leave this country before the demographic timebomb of aging barflies hits and they come for my family's wealth in an unruly mob armed with broken beer bottles and sharpened fleshlights and reeking of stale booze.

[Renegade83]

You sound like you have a good deal going, and you are resilient. Unfortunately, a lot of guys younger then you are not as resilient and would get totally ass ****ed if the **** hit the fan. I think it's more a problem with my generation going forward. Damn the internet!

@Renegade and justoutforarip, I appreciate the sentiment (srs), but there's no need to worry about me. The girl I'm going to marry is the antithesis of the feminist gold-digging harpies everyone is leery of.

Good and worthy women do exist, even in Burgerland.

I thought this of mine as well...and we were together for far longer than I'll admit on here before tying the knot.

Do.Not.Marry.

Marry a highly educated woman who goes to church. Odds are she's moral and, if not, the judge orders HER to pay you.
