In the short run, they often do...but in the long run, they come in first.

Afraid so.

For the modern American male, American marriage is like playing Russian roulette with a semi-automatic.

Why? Because the term “starter husband” has now become a common term where a woman will get married and have at least one child so she gets children and a guaranteed income at the expense of any sucker who will fall for it, and then she is free to divorce him, have sex with whomever she wants, and drag the kids through one failed relationship to the next all the while marginalizing the starter husband out of her children’s lives.

Do you think that’s the exception? Guess again.
The ugly truth is that more than often than not, marriages will end in divorce. Over 90% will be initiated by the woman. The man will get raked over in family court. She will get the house, the kids, 40-60% of their assets, and more than half of his disposable take home income for the next 18 years. He will see his kids 2 out of 14 days (he is lucky if she doesn't level unsubstantiated "abuse" claims – a death sentence for men that requires no substantiation whatsoever). If he loses his job due to illness or downsizing, the State will toss him in jail. While jailed the arrearage will grow and the state will charge interest. The State will revoke his driver's and professional licenses, make him virtually unemployable.
Women love to carry on about how men are afraid to commit. The real problem is that women are all to willing to bail for any reason or none at all, thanks to "no-fault" divorce. Worse, there is financial incentive for her to divorce, since she gets all the spoils of war, and her income is now guaranteed, if not by the father, then by the state. Her income is fixed at his highest level of pay. God forbid when the American economy takes a dive and most of the men are still required to pay at the level of imputed income (what they “should” be able to make) when they genuinely cannot find a job. In marriage, both the husband and wife endure the pain of temporary hardship. In divorce, only men and children suffer; not the women.
If you were to take up sky-diving, and the instructor informed you that more than half of the parachutes were defective, would you still jump? Not on your life. And only the dumbest of American men have not come to terms with this fact. But one way or another, they will.
Meanwhile, the men's Marriage Strike is alive and well, thank you. Up to 30% of eligible males, now, and growing.

Yes sometimes they do BUT my husband is a nice guy and he sure did or does not finish last with me:) I would much rather be with a nice guy then with a bad boy!

Nice guys only finish last with not nice girls. I am married to a "nice" guy. I love him more than anything...he is my whole world. I would say he is finishing first... but that is just my biased opinion!

Not a lady, but most of them can't give you an honest answer.

The answer is yes.

Nice men do pretty well however.

Let me be very clear, in contrasting a 'nice guy' from a 'nice man', I'm not talking about age.

Women like and are attracted to men who are strong, confident, stand up for themselves and their families, know what they want and are kind and generous.

If a guy is nice and kind but not strong and confident in himself, if he bends over backwards for whatever she asks, she may like him, but does not find him attractive.

If a guy is strong and confident but not kind, she might be attracted to him, but probably won't like him much.

I don't think so. I think passive guys finish last. I would never marry a doormat. With that said, I don't want someone that is overly aggressive and too self important to acknowledge the needs and feelings of others. I value my husband for his ability to be assertive and even aggressive when he needs to be yet still be fair and empathize with others.

I wouldn't say that. I think that comes from the old adage that girls are attracted to the hard to get guys, you know the dangerous type. But all girsl want to be treated good, it's just a little fun in the beggining to play hard to get.
