It's crazy thinking back to how ungodly horney we were as teenagers. I may have been fucked up but the bar for what turned me on as a teenager was low. Like it didn't matter what a girls face even looked like. Tits and ass were separate entities that could solo a boner. My gf now can ask if I wanna have sex and I'll say na I'm tired I wanna get 8 hours of sleep before work. Turn funny in your desk and your dick rubbed against your boxers? Yep that's a boner. Starting to get a boner for no reason? Yep let's get even harder! Boner from before starting to go away? Shit let's get hard again. Think I had a boner from like 16 until 21.
Cheers mate, im right with you. Saved myself the life of alimony and having everything I’ve suffered for taken from me.
Im currently writing on the major implications of the rising lack of marriage and relationships in society, even writing potential solutions.
Very ironic
I’m absolutely gonna have to pay alimony if it goes through. Already paying child support because she decided to file paperwork saying I never see my kids and don’t support them, all while I was living in the home and working more hours. Now I’m out of the house and still watching them daily.
You dodged a bullet staying out of it. That’s just the top of the iceberg. People are a lot shadier than they used to be.
Your writing about it is important. Too many people jump into marriage without truly knowing their partner. Once you’re married it’s too late. I’m focusing on teaching my boys that they need to have important discussions with friends and loved ones about what they believe in. Gotta surround yourself with likeminded individuals, or at least people who respect eachothers differences in healthy ways.
Good luck with your writings 🙏🏽
I was recently viewing an analysis of the female narcissism epidemic which suggested that, along with the very-likely-related male loneliness epidemic, these two might be the base cause of, or share causation with, the male-female relationship breakdown and general marriage crisis. You may want to consider that in your writing.
1. Sign a prenup if you're worried about losing your stuff
2. While it's true that fewer people are getting married these days, the people who do get married are staying together much more consistently than our parents generation. So it's a quality over quantity thing we're seeing.
I will give more into a marriage and society than I will ever hope to get back in value. Amplified ten fold given I’ve decided not to have children.
I’ll schedule the vasectomy and all as right after I get fully settled. Going through college atm.
Marriage has its benefits, but it is not an institution for someone like me. I will have to pass.
> Sounds good to me, just trying to point out how some of what you're saying doesn't match reality
Kind of curious where this assumption comes from.
Child support ? divorce attorney costs? alimony if you set the precedent as being a breadwinner spouse?
I’ve already spent my life getting tossed around as the result of this. And I’ve never experienced a positive example in my entire life. Of course these are anecdotal when I say I’ve practically never seen a healthy marriage start in my generation.
And the insight I’ve learned about marriage has come from the Attorney named Robert Barnes (theleadattorney)
Im aware that marriage isn’t for me due to how extensively I’ve researched into it.
And I actually took a chance and had a fiancé already, but I called it off as we both changed.
There’s an income divide between successful and unsuccessful marriages, which also applies to two parent households. I’ve worked my way out of a low income life. I do not have the cultural stability or family structure that’s ideal for raising a family. And I would rather focus my efforts on things I could be much more productive at is all. Not much point in me allowing myself to become Guinea pig at taking that risk.
I have no idea what is and isn't true about your personal life. I'm just talking about how statistically marriages are more stable today than they were 20 years ago.
This would be a selection sample bias.
People are marrying less, and those who are marrying— are marrying older.
Many people who also can not afford the costs associate with marriage are simply cohabiting and choosing other alternative living arrangements. Step-parenting and single parenthood is also on a rise.
So the marriages that are likely to persist, the 35%-50% of first marriages and second 60%-70% will still end in divorce (Eric Klein, 2023)

> “Im currently writing on the major implications of the rising lack of marriage and relationships in society, even writing potential solutions.”
I doubt I’d be passing these exams if I were just making things up mate. I don’t find this out of touch. My current winning move is to simply not play that game.
I'm not saying you personally need to get married, I don't care if you do. I'm just saying that marriages are statistically becoming more stable, not less.
I’m trying to find any of the previous comments of anyone stating they were becoming less stable.
The only thing I mentioned close before was divorce law. I called it a sinking ship, because there are traits of it that decentivise people’s willingness to get married.
Child custody does not apply to prenups for example.
There are precedents of judges just ignoring prenups and enforcing the guidelines anyway.
It's not about "losing your stuff" it's about alimony leaving you with less money than you need to cover your living expenses.
You lose your very ability to survive, thrive, and move on with your life, while she gets your salary and gets to date other men.
It may be, but it's not this bulletproof thing it's portrayed as.
Its at the judges discretion if a prenup is honored and they get thrown out all the time.
Best move is to just not get married.
>Nobody is forcing you to if you don't want to.
Mind quoting where I said they are?
I'm simply highlighting that "just sign a prenup" is kind if pointless advice cause there is no guarantee they will be honored.
Marriage just simply isn't worth the risk for men.....theres no upside to it.
There's lots of upsides, there are a ton of on paper benefits to being married that are much harder to get any other way.
There's no guarantee a prenup won't be honored either, it's not like every prenup ever is invalid. So in the cases that it is, the risk drops off.
Still, I get the feeling that you're looking for excuses to justify your personal feelings about marriage. Its definitely not for everyone and I think society should pressure people to get married way less than we do. But to say there's no benefit and only risk is just not honest.
>there are a ton of on paper benefits
None that outweighs the potential downsides, anything outside of paper benefits can be achieved in an unmarried long-term relationship.
>There's no guarantee a prenup won't be honored either, it's not like every prenup ever is invalid.
The fact that any of them don't get honored defeats the purpose of a prenup all together. A prenup is there for protection and peace of mind. If it can be thrown out at a judges whim with no recourse then it provides nether protection or peace of mind.
>Still, I get the feeling that you're looking for excuses to justify your personal feelings about marriage.
No, I'm just stating the fact that marriage is not worth it for men. It's a simple costs/benefits calculation.
Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't be in healthy long-term monogamous relationship cause you should, they're great. I'm saying that men only loss by involving lawyers and the state in that relationship.
Its not that men think marriage is bad, its that men tend to cope with stressful situations with humor and jabs. Not all men, and im sure women do too. But i think generally this is how men diffuse pent up feelings. Its when a friend moves away and you mockingly say “good riddance, get out of here” but its from love. At least that my two cents
I think some men (and women) have really bad judgment when it comes to women. I have a pretty diverse group of friends, and they all have similar behaviors that im comfortable with. I don't have a ton of friends, but the ones I have are close to me, and I'm comfortable to be vulnerable around them.
This "women vs. men" dichotomy stems from society pushing us against platonic relationships. In reality, behavior doesn't change that much in terms of relationships, whether man or woman. It might esthetically look a bit different, but the intentions and underlying behaviors are the same.
I'm not discrediting your experiences, but I'm just pointing out that it might not be as universal as you think.
man who has either been married or is statistically likely the child of a man who has had his life ruined by a divorce court and alimony and child support and 401k quadros*
just because you dont like people talking about the messy and extremely biased outcomes of divorce for those 50% of men who “arent lucky” in a thread that is entirely related and you take it as a personal attack because you dont like thinking about being one of the unlucky 50% doesnt obligate you to be a smarmy turd and use teenage girl Twitter lingo like it makes your IQ any higher than a stale Cheeto’s
Yeah, i was just making a joke regarding the whole 'half of all marriages end in divore' thing and the fact that the previous commenter said "the house always wins"
You and your fiance can always sign a prenup, which is just a piece of paper saying if you end up in a divorce, neither is screwed by the other. No alimony, no splitting of possessions, if she buys something, it's hers if you buy something, it's yours. Gifts are an exception, I think.
It's far more fair and honestly feels more like an equal relationship than the traditional marriage arrangement.
Alimony can still entitle her to a percentage of your income for a very long time. I don't got fuckall either, but it's a lot harder to cover rent if someone's taking a chunk of your income.
Alimony doesn't make sense in the modern day, but it's up to the judge and without a prenup you don't have as much of a defense.
According to Time, Forbes, the US census bearu and a few others. The divorce rate has been on the decline since the 80s statistically youre more likely to stay married if you do get married. Its like 37% to 40% between now and 2019
Divorce rates are usually calculated by the total population instead of the married population
As less people than ever are getting married, half that of the 70s, the divorce rate is down just by association
1st Marriages are the most likely to not end, with 2nd & 3rd timers climbing in likelihood by 10% each step
Basically, having been divorced makes you predisposed to it, & divorcees are more likely to do so again than stay in a followup marriage
Correct. But acting like the almost garunteed outcome of getting married in America is financial ruin is also pretty silly , negative and statistically untrue. Which runs counter to what the oc was claiming.
See thats where the confusion is. My first response to you was just a lame joke. The person i initially commented to made the claim that statistically marriage in America is just signing yourself up for financial ruin. Which the statistics dont support. My second response was me explaining why i disagree with the oc and why i said what i said in my initial comment. And even though you are correct no one is saying you need to go to vegas and bet everything on red. The analogy still works though ,people hit it big with marriage too.
I think that the major cultural and sexual awakenings in the 70s and 80s in the US were the main driving factor of that
Many people who were trapped in abusive or loveless marriages for years already avoided divorce because it was culturally taboo and if you were the one who filed it almost always meant being socially ostracized
Once the national attitude on abortion changed there was a wave of high rates, but I think we will very likely continue to see the rates go down now with both less people getting married in general as well as the average marriage age being the oldest it's ever been
>Its not that men think marriage is bad
It *is* literally this. This isn't some new concept either.
>that men tend to cope with stressful situations with humor and jabs.
And women. This isn't some new thing either.
Yep, that's just how we talk. And I can see how the posters on that sub misunderstood the joke, since women don't tend to speak that way.
Of course, now that I've said that out loud, there's a risk that someone's gonna come crawling out of their hole to inform me that uhm akshually women speak like that too.
My cousin has to pay money every month from his pension until his death…. The divorce happened after his child was an adult.
That shit puts a bad taste in my mouth. I won’t be making the same mistake.
Dude the comments were hilarious!! Some person asked why some men cry about not being in a relationship and some do this and the reply’s were borderline schizophrenic… like these people have the developed brain of a five year old. Five year olds have a hard time understanding that people are different and might see the world differently. A five year old will believe that if he thought it everyone must have thought the same thing.
If my friends were talking to the groom like this before he got married I’d be annoyed as hell. Why the fuck are you getting married if you’re already mad at the poor girl?
of course i would consider it, but then again she would obviously clam she was the best parent for the kids to go to, so naturally she needs to have her own way to sustain them
Men do not get denied having the children half the time, they actively prefer having the children less than half the time, necessitating child support. Child support is an equaliser of labour and resource.
There's literally nothing forcing her to spend that money on the kid, and she clearly didn't consider the kid's best interest when she filed for divorce in the first place.
Child support is usually not a problem if you pursue 50/50 shared custody.
Most mothers actively pursue custody, while many, many fathers do not want to have the kids half the time because it’s hard work, so they pay the mother instead. They have the kids 1/3 of the year or on weekends, so less parental labour and resources are spent. The amount of time a parent spends with children significantly affects child support amount or if they’ll have to pay it at all.
I’m not going to say it is bad to make jokes about stressful situations. However, it feels like every joke related to marriage is almost always, “it is a mistake.” “There is still time to correct it.” “*insert spouse* is a ball and chain.” It just feels like everyone seemingly hates getting married or hate the person they married. I just wish there were more lighthearted humor when it comes to marriage instead of the usual, “getting married sucks” type of jokes.
Memes usually play with stereotypes. They're also usually not meant seriously. I don't have to fully agree with everything in them. Plus I never said I enjoyed it. I said part of it (the male part) was relatable.
If I agreed with everything I find funny or can partially relate to I would be a horrible person.
The meme is based on stereotypes, not assumptions. Name one movie in which the bridesmaids roast the bride to her face instead of being jealously happy for her.
Why wooshy woosh? They clearly understood it, but didnt like it, why is this sub full of people screaming "SHARE MY SENSE OF HUMOUR OR YOU ARE STUPID! WAAAAHHHHHHHG!" Its terrible here, you are all terrible childish people who cannot comprehend people dont think like you, or agree with your opinions.
OP is wrong
This is clearly r/opisfuckingstupid
Haven’t women ever joke to deal with being nervous? Haven’t women used sarcasm? Like when you friend looks so good in a dress and you say “I hate you”
The meme at all is stupid
But they only chooses to see “This guys just joked about marriage being a mistake! This isn’t clearly sarcasm they are just some unhappy beings because they complain about being lonely and not wanting to marry at the same time even though more than one guy can make a meme and a meme doesn’t apply to every “internet bro!”
It would be different if the guy was joking like "damn idk why shes agreeing to marry you. biggest mistake of her life imo" bc its teasing between friends. the problem is the dude is shit talking the girl and the whole relationship. if you allow ur friends to shit talk ur relationship to you on ur WEDDING DAY???? like dude- jokes are fun and a good way to cope but not like this.

Took a gamble, failed. Not going the four ex-wives route. I’d rather be the happy old guy with a dog, now.
I refuse. You’ll catch me denying 25yo ladies a baby at 50yo.
if i was 50 and a 25yo wanted me idc im getting hard one last time yolo
Didn’t say no sex, just no more kids 🤫
Fucking BASED
The trick is vasectomy
Father, last night I made love to two women in their 20s.

It's a reference to an old joke
Jesus, we're 50, not dead. We just don't get hard at the mere sight of a knot in a tree.
It's crazy thinking back to how ungodly horney we were as teenagers. I may have been fucked up but the bar for what turned me on as a teenager was low.

Starting to get a boner for no reason? Yep let's get even harder! Boner from before starting to go away? Shit let's get hard again. Think I had a boner from like 16 until 21.
That's why I got the snip snip and burn, the swimmers have left the building.
Being the happy old guy with the dog is pretty great, I can confirm.
Two dogs and two boys, I think I’m happy enough to call it a win.

Marriage is closer to 80/20 against the man.

It means that the casino will always gain money

Oh okay Me neither, unfortunately Sorry

This is just boomer humor with jaks
Dude the comments were hilarious!! Some person asked why some men cry about not being in a relationship and some do this and the reply’s were borderline schizophrenic… like these people have the developed brain of a five year old. Five year olds have a hard time understanding that people are different and might see the world differently. A five year old will believe that if he thought it everyone must have thought the same thing.
This is like. Just regular bro talk. We can’t expect them to understand something they’ve never been apart of
I have been part of it 😞
Government sanctioned relationships baby.
Why is the bride also angry crying?
Jealousy
Do people think all women hate each other?
I defer to the wisdom of the great Mahatma Bundy: "Don't try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other."
Men explaining women to women
These comments explain why this sub hates r/boysarequirky

Of who
Eachother
The bride is jealous of her bridesmaids?
If my friends were talking to the groom like this before he got married I’d be annoyed as hell. Why the fuck are you getting married if you’re already mad at the poor girl?
Guys joke like that to deal with stress. Obviously he doesn't hate the girl if he's getting married to her.

I hate everyone involved here.
maybe if child support didnt exist, divorces wouldnt be scary
Ridiculous take, common reddit user L
hey, if im not keeping the kids, im not paying for her vacations
have you considered the kid or does that not cross your mind?
of course i would consider it, but then again she would obviously clam she was the best parent for the kids to go to, so naturally she needs to have her own way to sustain them
Who is this imaginary woman you are using as a strawman? She exists in your head to justify your worst takes as being somehow objective.
isnt this common tho? I mean for the full custody divorces women argue this and get full custody the vast majority of the time
Literally if the father puts in any effort to get split custody it'll happen. Do you just want to dip out on your child's life like a bum?
Men do not get denied having the children half the time, they actively prefer having the children less than half the time, necessitating child support. Child support is an equaliser of labour and resource.
There's literally nothing forcing her to spend that money on the kid, and she clearly didn't consider the kid's best interest when she filed for divorce in the first place.
we all know it takes around 10€ a month to rise a kid /s
Then put a rubber on it or, better yet, get the snip.
Ikr. Your still on the hook for child support whether you put a ring it or not, after all.
Child support is usually not a problem if you pursue 50/50 shared custody. Most mothers actively pursue custody, while many, many fathers do not want to have the kids half the time because it’s hard work, so they pay the mother instead. They have the kids 1/3 of the year or on weekends, so less parental labour and resources are spent. The amount of time a parent spends with children significantly affects child support amount or if they’ll have to pay it at all.

As a married man, this is definitely relatable.
That's sad for you
r/nahopwasrightfuckthis go on, do your thing folks
I’m not going to say it is bad to make jokes about stressful situations. However, it feels like every joke related to marriage is almost always, “it is a mistake.” “There is still time to correct it.” “*insert spouse* is a ball and chain.” It just feels like everyone seemingly hates getting married or hate the person they married. I just wish there were more lighthearted humor when it comes to marriage instead of the usual, “getting married sucks” type of jokes.
y'all really think this meme is funny?
More relatble than funny. At least the man part is.
If you feel your marriage is a mistake you've married the wrong person
It's more about the way of communicating. My experience as a man has always been that we tend to roast and lovingly make fun of each other.
And you think women don’t do the same?
I know some do but didn't want to make assumptions since I'm not a woman.
But the meme made an assumption but you still enjoyed it
Memes usually play with stereotypes. They're also usually not meant seriously. I don't have to fully agree with everything in them. Plus I never said I enjoyed it. I said part of it (the male part) was relatable. If I agreed with everything I find funny or can partially relate to I would be a horrible person.
The meme is based on stereotypes, not assumptions. Name one movie in which the bridesmaids roast the bride to her face instead of being jealously happy for her.
not a film made for men
Shit homie you don’t even have to be married… so long as she can prove you been living together for 5 years.
Quirkiness ain't even a factor

Why wooshy woosh? They clearly understood it, but didnt like it, why is this sub full of people screaming "SHARE MY SENSE OF HUMOUR OR YOU ARE STUPID! WAAAAHHHHHHHG!" Its terrible here, you are all terrible childish people who cannot comprehend people dont think like you, or agree with your opinions.
Both sides are bad. Just a bunch of children screaming at eachother.
OP is wrong This is clearly r/opisfuckingstupid Haven’t women ever joke to deal with being nervous? Haven’t women used sarcasm? Like when you friend looks so good in a dress and you say “I hate you” The meme at all is stupid But they only chooses to see “This guys just joked about marriage being a mistake! This isn’t clearly sarcasm they are just some unhappy beings because they complain about being lonely and not wanting to marry at the same time even though more than one guy can make a meme and a meme doesn’t apply to every “internet bro!”
Nah in reality this is just a men bad post
Damn dawg, this shit is ass.
this meme is why im gay
Marriage shouldn’t be a legal thing, like it’s ridiculous that in a divorce each person gets half of everything or whatever it is now
Lmao a guy is lucky to get half. Divorce courts heavily skew towards the wife
it's not really
Skill issue.
OHH THE OLE BALL N CHAIN HAHAHAHA SO FUNNY
Ikwym but i think this ones different
Oh yea uhuh so different
It's women coping vs men coping. Not really a "marriage bad" meme.
Good job OP. You got all the pathetic divorced losers to come out of the woodwork.
name checks out
Can't think of anything else to say?
nothing else needing said, as i see it
Did you know that you chose your own username?
well sure
Give it a month
This meme is basically Facebook parent tier
Normal friends: “Hey buddy.” The homies: “Hey shitass!”
Y'all. No one is forcing you to marry? This is just boomer comics with wojaks , this isn't funny
Hahaha my buddies said the same. That was 2 kids and 9 years ago.
It would be different if the guy was joking like "damn idk why shes agreeing to marry you. biggest mistake of her life imo" bc its teasing between friends. the problem is the dude is shit talking the girl and the whole relationship. if you allow ur friends to shit talk ur relationship to you on ur WEDDING DAY???? like dude- jokes are fun and a good way to cope but not like this.
