Marriage is one of the dumbest things ever invented, and it only gets progressively worse for men as time goes on. All for the dubious privilege of passing your DNA down, none of which will matter to you when the heat-death of the universe occurs through entropy.
In the past at least there was some social understanding that the woman, in exchange for the protection and financial support of the man, would act as a wife, be faithful, run the house, cook, fashion clothes, and other such things. And that wasn’t a small thing 200 or 500 years ago. A man needed sons to run the place and to provide for the family as he aged. Also, it was generally true that the woman you married was a virgin, or at least very little use.
Now, there is no such deal. Most younger women don’t cook, or if they do it’s basically to stick something in the microwave or order it from somewhere. There is no sexual fidelity and by the time you are heading down the marriage isle with your little cupcake, her wearing white is the biggest fraud in the world. The only thing really special about you is that you have agreed to support her for the rest of her life.
Its simply a bad deal for men. Its one of those choices that if you make the mistake in a weak moment or in your youth………and succumb to the pressures to wed, you will pay the consequences for decades.
And for what….someone that cost you more than she is worth, is a pain in the ass to be with most the time, sticks all kinds of requirements on your time, and doesn’t contribute in any meaningful way to the functioning of your life. Oh yeah….and she will rob you blind when she decides to leave.
And, for the record…….the sex gets crappy after a couple of years too.
Now, even without the horror stories of marriage…….WHY? Why even consider it in the first place? Why does marriage exist? What is the purpose of legally binding yourself to another person? What logical purpose does it serve? Just because people have been doing it for a long time doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. People have been doing a lot of stupid shit for centuries. If you want to spend time with someone, then just be with them. Why bring the law into it? Why have the big stupid ceremony and invite a bunch of people to witness the debacle? WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THEY NEED TO GET MARRIED? THEY’VE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO THINK THAT IT’S WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO. When are people going to break the cycle of stupidity?
Marriage is stupid, purposeless and illogical.
