Topic: Daily reminder: Marriage is state-backed relationship insurance for women.

You would not sign the same agreement if it were a business partnership. An uncooperative business partner who contributes little doesn’t get +50% of your assets and continued financial support. Your business partner can’t get your wages garnished.

It's also a commitment device, certain relationships are just not feasible without enforced contracts.

If a woman is deciding between two guys she likes equally, and one is willing to sign and one isn't, then she knows who plans on sticking around.

Without marriage she may pick the guy who's going to knock her up and leave, or fearing that she might choose no one.

too many people treat marriage as an afterthought to the partylike ceremony in which they pretend to be wealthy for a day

while the couple involved have been already living the married life for years, and lots of people hear about the wedding and think, what the fuck aren't these shitheads already married

People change over time. My first wife ate the woman I married ten years in. Mental problems and all kinds of shit. The third one is great, and we had no secrets. She has a big thing about trust and I was painfully honest down to some bad stuff.

Skill issue. You should marry a woman who is wealthier and more successful than you.

Hypergamy limits that. Women would rather be single moms by choice with a turkey baster and a nanny than “settle.”

If a woman would rather be single than be with you, that says more about you than it does her. 👍

I see it around me. I date but as I age the returns are lower unless you stumble across a fun “bag of issues” who is younger. Almost always worth it.

Married ONCE came close 3 other times.
Closest was with a Blue Eyed Blonde that wanted a Child and I had to split as I compared her to the lady I divorced. The Blond was a SEX Fiend and IF allowed would be in bed more then at her teaching job. Weekends tested my equipment to the MAX

I have a daughter that is clueless re my existence. Raising a Child became my least wanted goal in life. I did raise Wife's siblings for key years of their teen lives.
