why do men want to get married if women get the better end of the deal?

Question

women can either spend the rest of their life with their man, or when they divorce, they get half of the man's money. how can you deny that women get the better end of that deal?

Answer 1

LOL you make it sound like every woman out there make less than their husband!! I knew a few ladies out there who are making more than their husbands!! Most people are not thinking about taking half their spouses money when they are saying "i do".

Marriage is a wonderful thing if you find the one thats right for you. There are plenty of men (and women) out there who are happily married.

Answer 2

Both people usually work and contribute to the family finances in today's world. So you can't call it "his" money. During the marriage both work to maintain the family, either by brining in money or by staying home to rasie the children they made together. In a divorce they usually split things up between them through the help of attorneys. If there are children involved the women usually want and take the children so the men end up paying child support. If more men wanted the children it would be different. And, too, I'll bet statistics would show that most divorces are because the man wants it. He usually has more opportunity to be out in the world and meet people and fall for someone else while the wife is at home with the kids.

Answer 3

Boy did you hit a nerve. A woman can stay home and take care of the house, raise the kids, and sometimes has a job that brings in MONEY. But some man that goes to work, comes home watches tv, does some chores, goes out with his buddies ( drops a few$ ) , then when things don't work out, it was all his money. You know if the woman had more than the man, he would get half of that, and that would be great. When you get married , you should both make a commitment, that the marriage will work, and work on making it work. Then you woudn't have to worry about your money.

Answer 4

That might be true in some cases, but most cases it is not true. Take an average income married couple, couple of kids and they both work. Chances are really good the wife doesn't make nearly as much as the husband and never will. She gets custody of the kids, some child support and half the assets. If she keeps the house, she has to pay for it. She will usually get stuck with half the debt as well. It's not always the way you think it is and not all states are alimony states.

Answer 5

People, man or woman, marry for love.. so in that way they both get the best end of the deal.

There is plenty of women out there who are married, and working full time, taking care of the children when they are home, and taking care of the house (laundry, dishes, meals etc.) While their guy sits there look at websites, and playing video games.. Who gets the better end of the deal then??

You obviously haven't had many relationships.

Answer 6

How is that the better end of the deal? Men get the other half of the money. Men then pay child support and are relieved from the major responsibility of raising a child. That's the good end?

Answer 7

I DON'T THINK ANYONE GETS MARRIED TO GET DIVORCED TO GET 1/2 OF ANYBODY'S MONEY.AND BELIEVE ME, MEN GET THE BETTER DEAL. HAVING A PENIS ENTITLES THEM TO HAVING THIER LAUNDRY DONE AND MEALS COOKED, HOUSE CLEANED.ON CALL, CALL GIRL, LIVE IN 24 HOUR NANNY,(CUZ WE ALL KNOW MEN DON'T BELIEVE ITS THIER RESPONSIBILITY-THEY ARE PART TIME PLAYMATES)
ALL A MAN HAS TO DO IS WORK HIS 40 HOURS OR SO AND A WOMAN HAS TO GO TO WORK AND GO HOME AND WORK THE REST OF THE DAY WAITING ON HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST FOR A MAN TO PAY FOR ALL OF THOSE SERVICES. NOT TO MENTION THAT MOST WOMAN HANDLE THE BILLS AS WELL.
THEN WHEN WE'RE ALL WORE OUT THE MAN GOES OUT AND HAS AN AFFAIR BECAUSE HE'S FEELING OVERWHELMED WITH RESPONSIBILTY(WHAT A JOKE) AND THE WIFE GETS A DIVORCE AND SIMPLY GETS FAIR COMPENSATION FOR ALL HER WASTED TIME AND EFFORT AND THEN GLADLY HANDS OVER THE TASK TO THE NEW YOUNGER COMPETITOR.
SO THE WAY I SEE IT THE MAN WINS. and in the end still gets a new model

Answer 8

Cause unlike men women see marriage as a long term
commitment not a wall street investment opportunity which
is why once there married and pregnant and thinking your
thinking there beautiful untill they realize you got your eye on another slim jim, and start spending more time at the office,
why the hell should'nt they get the gold mind while you get the shaft? . . .

Which is why all the postering in a singles bar a man does to impress a women means absolutely **** or as the old syaing goes . . .

" A man chases a women 'till she catches him " . . .

Answer 9

I see you call it the mans" money. Contribution to a marriage is not only monetary. The wife may contribute her own wages, she may contribute more without getting paid, such as children care, household managing, cleaning, etc. If she does nothing and contributes nothing she shouldn't be entitled but if she has pulled her own weight so to speak she is entitled to be compensated.
many men are compensated based on who has the larger salary.
Depending on the state you live in, if the two parties cant work it out which is what they should do, then the court is responsible as to gets what and how much.
Women dont always come out smelling like a rose ya know?

Answer 10

statistically men's life satisfaction increases after marriage while women's life satisfaction tends to decrease after marriage. Why? Mainly because when a couple get married things usually become easier on the man. He has someone to take care of him. Women's life satisfaction decreases because they've just put more on their plate. Obviously this does not hold true for all relationships, but in the US this is a statistical fact.
