What do women offer men these days?

Question

Why would any man want to marry today, what is the benefit?

Generally speaking there is no financial advantage, most marriages end in divorce. If a man wants a child he can go buy one for less than marriage will cost in the long run.

Answer 1

The romance I'm 46 and married 22 years and hope to be for 30 more.

Answer 2

If you plan on divorcing, then what is the point of marriage??? Yes it can happen, but if you're planning the demise of the marriage before it even happens...

Answer 3

i agree with you. there is no reason to get married. no reason at all.

Answer 4

Women and men offer each other the opportunity to embark on one of the great adventures of a lifetime.  

The most rewarding things in life are not the easiest to come by and that certainly applies to relationships

I'm very happy to be married and wouldn't go back to a single life.  It was so solitary and so unsupported.  My wife and I help each other all the time.

Recently two friends of mine had been having relationship problems for some time and it didn't look promising.  Then she fell pregnant accidentally (at 47) and things changed dramatically.  They got married, they have  enjoyed 18 months of bringing up a kid and their relationship has never been more affectionate.

When two people unite in a common purpose, that's when real affinity is possible.

Also, make no mistake, every person wants to raise their own children.  Even g**s are doing it.  It's built into our psyche.

All the issues you see today are just a function of people's inability to manage relationships.  It's just fear of more pain.

That's no way to live your life.

Answer 5

having s*x with a prostitute or having a Girlfriend will also cost, most of other relationships other than marriage will also end up with breakup, so why don't you wanna enjoy married life it changes your life completely the love and company you get is worth it..

And the child you buy would not be your own child and you can never have the same feeling to that child as you will have for your own and it will cost you more than marriage..

Answer 6

Who the h**l care?  If you don't want to get marry then don't do it.  No use of keep on complaining about it.

Answer 7

This is what I say about men, lol...  Men can no longer earn enough to support a family, so the wife has to work to and still work when she gets home!!  Nope, no more marriage for me!!

Answer 8

If this is the way you feel, why would you even ponder marriage? why do you even care about what other people think of marriage since of your personal opinion of it unfavorable? If you don't want to get married that fine. But don't bother those of us who would like to spend the rest of our lives with someone we love. If you go into a marriage thinking it's going to fail from the get-go then it will. It's no wonder why you don't have a girlfriend.

Answer 9

If a man wants a child, he's better off getting a dog or a cat.

To sacrifice one's financial and emotional well-being and to become beholden to a woman who can string you out to dry with the government's support, just because she has the ability to incubate a fetus is insanity.

Answer 10

Please, Phil, if you want validation that men don't need to marry and they're better off alone, by all means, post your sap on Yahoo and stay single. Get a doll and set yourself free!

Best of luck.

Answer 11

Marriage is not supposed to be for financial gain. Most marriages end in divorces because people get married to quickly, and people don't see a marriage as something that is supposed to last until death. Most people get married and if something else better comes along then they just dump the first spouse. And I bet being 70 years old, retired and single/ never married has got to be a very lonely time.

Answer 12

I was in an unhappy marriage, so I know what you are talking about.  No, marriage does not seem like the best way to live, but I still believe in having a good woman in my life., regardless of the idiot I was married to.

Answer 13

Let us say were I available what I would offer a man is:

The ability to defend our marriage to the point that no one is allowed to interfere.

I would also not keep things inside; bring them up so that they don't fester.

Finances are useful, but are not to be worshipped.

Children are nice; not always the right thing to keep a marriage intact; having said this I love them and they should never be used as an excuse.

Divorce would be a very last resort, unless I seen in you, your sadness and my lack of guiding you to happiness, then there is no other choice.  After all; no one can make a few days old dead rat bleed.
