Comparison to divorce rate?

Yeah...I was wondering the "unmarried" rate versus the "never-married' rate.

Some in that age group probably got married...realized she was a nutjob...and said never again.

You have more and more women who are getting their information from social media and influencers, and they are all telling married women to leave their husbands for a better life and,” you go girl!”
And since men know this, and what it will cost them to get married and then face a divorce lawyer when their wives eventually get bored and unhappy, they are weighing the costs and not liking the odds.

Men aren’t as apt to make decisions based on emotions and usually don’t have a hive mentally like women.
Plus, women are filing for divorces over men by a wide margin and men have way more to lose in a divorce than women.

As the OP mentions it is the phones.
Back in the 90s and before, people went out to meet other people. It was just part of life. The phone has replaced that.

Also, I used to think online dating would lead to much higher marriage rates and be an overall benefit to society. Shy or average looking people could find someone similar… boy was I wrong.

If you don’t think women are more hive minded, I don’t know what to tell you. Watch any social justice rally, any protests against ICE, and the current rally for the baby killer and it’s almost all white women egging each other on. And it’s no different with divorce. Divorced friends of married women encourage their married friends to seek divorces because misery loves company.

Decline of morality and Church centered families and communities.


As a single male I can report that Church has nothing to do with it. It’s the fact that American women are not worth the hassle anymore. The ones who are worth the hassle are already taken. The ones that are left are either whores with a roster, batshite crazy, have 4 kids with 4 different baby daddies, addicted to drugs, unable to pay their own bills, or a combination of all of those.

Back in the Baby Boomer and Gen X days, women truly dated men they were interested in. They didn't care about money. The idea is they would build a life together. And yes, that meant starting in a crummy apartment or a small starter home. Then working hard and eventually being able to have a family and then moving to a bigger home. But women in their 20s didn't expect men their age to have their life completely together.


I’m not sure this is true. Back then, a woman needed to marry a man and have children for protection, intimacy, and access to the good life, whether it be financially or socially. And they knew they had to do that at a young age to avoid the stigma and higher risk of not getting the chance to. Now the game has changed. Women can get all those things themselves plus the excitement of dating without any fear of that ending until their late 30s, which in general is when they started thinking like the eligible younger women from that time. But had the modern rules been in place back then it would’ve been the same.

And for the record, if average men had the same chances with 9 or 10 women, they would hold out just the same. They already do if you count Onlyfans and Instagram

Gambling, porn, video games, social media, and DoorDash on your phone. Weed stores on every other corner. It's easy to get distracted now.

And I could easily post 10 videos of women acting emotionally insane. Your video proves little

I think the point was that if you read the political board or threads like this you see men doing the same thing.

Like I told my son, she’s a keeper when she goes hunting and fishing with you. Take care of the camp son…

If the number of unmarried young men is surging, wouldn’t that mean the number of unmarried young women is surging too?

outside of the religious angle, there is absolutely zero incentive for a man to get married. It only protects the woman. It actually incentivizes women to get divorced and along with no fault, is why they initiate the vast majority of them


Two things I’ll never be able to understand about the OT OT is its undying dedication to tradesmen and its unwavering belief that marriage is a trap set by women.

Outside of religious purposes there’s numerous contractual reasons that make marriage mutually beneficial. The only rationale I can think of is that OT overwhelmingly marries broke arse women.

Divorce doesn’t benefit either spouse if their socio-economic footing is equal. If that standing is unbalanced, the lesser of the two will logically demand that contractual security or will move on to the next person willing to provide it.
