re: Why do men still get conned into marriage when there are no benefits for men to marry?

You can do all that without signing a government contract that says she gets half of your assets when you break up

I got married and we signed a prenup stating all assets obtained prior to marriage remain with each in the event of divorce. Only assets obtained post marriage would be split

You're forgetting the first part of the equation. You will not have anywhere near 100% of your assets at any point in your life.

The gubment will have taken 8% in sales tax on anything you bought, the state goverment will have taken a couple of other percnt and the federals will have taken a significant share of what you earned.

Every penny you've spent chasing then next perfect woman is gone. Do you even remember their names (or what they told you their names wore?) (Maybe one of them left you a microscopic something to remember them by, but that just further attacks your yearly income.

Maybe you want to date women who don't like men enough to get to know them. That works for some, both ways.

But what I've seen with my unmarried men friends (I am a woman married to the same man for 30+ years) is that they have no one to bounce ideas off of. There's no one to help them make decisions, and the lack of a rudder of any kind makes life a lot more difficult.
Spouses love and help. They are even additional exemptions on your taxes. They may even earn significant salaries and your life might be better if someone cared about you.
