Men have it all before marriage. Then they get to the point where the girl basically says, sign this piece of paper, transfer 50% of your assets to me, or the sex is over. The guys do it.
They stay together 7-10 years, the woman gets her kids, builds up her assets through the guy, then files for divorce (women file for 84% of divorces, hmmm wonder why). The guy's life is ruined. The woman makes out with the money and the kids (if she wants them).
Do guys realize if every guy stood up and said NO to this biased crap that things would finally be equal? But men, at the simple possibility of having to look for sex with someone else, sign the paper. What does that say?

LC, you think you can't have love without marriage? LOL. I think you've got it backwards dear!

lady_pho, no one hurt me. That's a poor, and wrong, assumption.
Marriage does not prove commitment. If that were true, divorce wouldn't exist. In addition, men can be committed to a woman and NOT be married. The fact that you don't realize that is the problem with women

Will you ignorant people stop assuming that the only way someone could have this opinion is if they got hurt. I have never been married. I have never had a bad break up. This is simply just looking at this system and observing -"This is retarded"

Typical defensive responses from angry, bitter women scared someone is going to take their golden ticket away. Laughable.

I agree that marriage can be a waste of time, money, and emotions, but if you think that men are the only ones who get the shaft in a divorce you are sadly mistaken. I got stuck with 2 of my ex-husband's school loans, I had to move my daughter and I in with my parents (humiliating), and I get less than 450$ in support from my ex-husband (and that is with back child support payments). He, on the other hand, gets to live the single bachelor life in San Diego, paying me very little in support and having even less to do with our wonderful little girl. And I am still trying to pay off the last of his 30,000$ school loans. So if you're asking whether or not I ever want to walk the marriage plank again? NO! It's a tradition people have, it is the way society is. If you have such a problem with it then dont get married. Just remember, marriage not only proves how dumb the men can be, but it also proves how dumb the women can be as well.

Wow, that's pretty slanted. You should, however, check your facts.
Most marriages last far more than 7-10 years. Very few marriages end in divorce (less than 32% - the 1/2 was a myth and has been proven wrong time and time again- it's just an urban legend now).
Married men live longer. Single men rarely HAVE any assets. Married COUPLES earn assets together. As a matter of fact- most couples I know that are married had nothing when they got married, but together they pooled their resources and bought assets together.
It's ok- when you find the right woman, and when I say that, I mean emotionally, spiritually, and financially, you will be fine taking that risk, and she will be willing to take that risk in you.

wow sounds to me like someone is a bit upset about something. I do not know who you married or who you know but its not always like that. Do not let the bad marriage examples be what you go by. My husband and I still have sex... a lot. He can have it whenever he wanted and we are both up for new ideas. Sex does not end after getting married. As far as taking the money... thats what an prenup is for... if a guy is worried about loosing his stuff if the marriage does not work... then he is stupid for not getting one. I offered to get one if my husband wanted, I told him it did not bother me at all I would even pay for it, but he said there was no need. So please do not let all the bad marriages be what you look at when you think of marriage. Look at those who have succeeded and who have a good healthy marriage. Disposable marriages are when two people are in two much of a hurry to get going in life, and they do not take the time to know all the facts about what a marriage entitles.

*sigh*
This is your own opinion. Not all marriages end in divorce. Divorce is more common now because people rush into relationships and marriage to quickly without thinking beforehand.
Your opinion and comments are actually very sexist, assuming that the man makes more money, puts his all towards a woman, then they divorce and she takes all his money. This is entirely not true. I make very good money and am independant. I know PLENTY of women who make just as much or more money then their husband does.
I also know plenty of women who have stayed with men, been abused and beaten and then when they divorced, these women didn't get half of what they deserved!
You have the wrong ideas of marriage. Sadly, you've become this way because of what you see around you.

Prenups cancel out all that noise you're making above.
84% women cause most times it's them being responsible and the men leaving them for a hotter younger version...guys will try to have their cake and eat it too, so if they are the ones doing wrong, they are not going to file.
And yes, the fact that without marriage men would wilfully cause the single parent families we see now on a MUCH more massive scale...is kinda sad. Think how unhealthy pregnancies would be if the woman had no security and knew she could be left at any minute because he has nothing invested in the pregnancy, the way her body and life is invested in bringing the kid.
Marriages protect families and provide what should be a secure place to have unprotected sex ALL you want. Divorces protect egos. Both people have to want the marriage to not get divorced...
Really, it sounds like you want to find a way to get the committment level and care of a wife from a woman without spending a dime on her. Selfish... Most women these days work, so it ever occur to you her getting married is helping afford his toys and habits just as much as he affords her?

Where'd you get the idea it's a Christian thing? There are marriages in all cultures as the official recognition of a union. Sounds like you're just mad because the concept of gay marriage isn't accepted. Personally, I have no problem with it. Love is where you find it.

It's what separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls. It's publicly declaring that legally, you have decided to be committed and are represented as a united front. I'm not ready for marriage, and I may never be. I'm fine the way things are. It's not for everyone, but don't assume that all men are happier before marriage. I know many men who couldn't be happier being married.

It says wow!Sorry you have such a cynical outlook on life. Women also give up a lot in a failed relationship-to generalize that men always lose everything is narrow minded and only shows half of the story. This does not always happen.

Marriage is the opposite of living , opposite of freedom , opposite of zest for life .
It is a retirement from creativity and deep happy feelings .
Makes no difference what the gender is .

No.....it proves who the commited, adult MEN really are.
In other words, it can separate the men from the boys.
If this is what you think of marriage then DON'T GET MARRIED.
Clearly someone hurt you or someone close to you....but let me give you a news flash....MEN HURT WOMEN TOO.
The only thing your question says is that you are biased.
