Men should simply checkout from all this bullshit. The only thing I hope to gain from a marriage is not being alone when I'm old.

Highest rate of divorce is now 55-65.

In Japan, it's endemic, after the workaholic Salaryman retires, the wife is annoyed by his presence after a lifetime of spending his money.

When it came out with the novel idea that the womyn needs to make the first contact on a match it was the greatest thing for men, taking away a lot of work, instantly weeding out flakes/bots. P

Yes, but the "Bumble" name is unfortunate. It has "bum" in the name, and if one thinks "bumble bee," it conjures one who flits from flower to flower. Maybe they had the same marketing guru as Bud Lite.

it was inspired by the bumble bee, also with a paid feature to make a beeline directly to the front for men to be able to contact womyn first, but of course this would be a double negative, you need to pay and have. more work, just let them contact you, they all say at least Hi! if really interested. It was also yellow in appearance, I didn't think the marketing was that bad, but I can see the negative connotation to bum(ble). It was a big success regardless

I have a 40 year old friend. He has 3 kids. His wife just left him for a woman. You can't count on anyone imo.

lol the amount of hard hitting truth telling and red pilling in this thread is approaching Rollo Tomassi/heartiste levels. I'd like to add that I have encountered people say "well then they haven't chosen the right one, my wife is a 10 on all levels!" numerous times. When you hear that it's usually 5 years or less until you hear about their divorce. The only upsides for a man being married these days is chosing a decent mom for your offspring, semi-regular sex with someone who stays hot and in shape as much as biomechanics permit it, and not being alone (for some). Forget about running the household and everything else womyn used to do, And that already is a rare and tall order. Well that and you're being a good Catholic adding on to your sacraments.

Remember that old "Future Shock" book from decades ago? It had a prediction that people would have 3 marriages. The reasoning is that people change and grow apart, so one who is suitable to your personality in your 20s may not be a good fit for your 30s. And then even more change by 50, so 3 marriages.

lol I'm at 1 engagement, and 1 marriage, approaching 50. So we will see, it sounds reasonable, but it's also the result of womyn breaking up easily due to hoelimony and govt. secured lifestyle. Although as the couple ages past 50, maybe into 60s, and the husband stays fit, then I can see that changing from 80% womyn filing for divorce to maybe closer to 60%, and 40% of men initiating (upgrade to newer model/looks). Womyn will still get hoelimony, but will have a harder time in getting judged according to their needs for fame, as most people will see them as used goods who hit the wall a long time ago and forfeit their lifelong promise too easily, no matter what leftoid lamestream media propaganda says. That's why I keep saying the best thing for men is to keep working out and staying in shape and reasonably successful on their own, no matter what life throws at you. I'd say most womyn with the intent to divorce and live off hoelimony do so by age 45, maybe 50 if they stay fit.

Hmm. The universe thinks I'm short two more marriages with a half life of 10 years each and two nother squalling harridans who aren't pink any more and possible progeny stalking me for money?

That’s why you should marry a woman who can and will work. Or convert her into a working woman once the kids no longer need constant attention. Sometimes this means sending her back to school for a degree. Sometimes it’s just reactivating a career put on hold before that pause becomes permanent.
My wife makes a little more than I do on an hourly basis, even though I wind up making 1.5x her salary because I work more hours.
If she leaves me when I’m older, she’ll have lost not only a life partner and friend, but the father of her children and person she’s closest to. I don’t think this will happen, even with the change in hormones that are happening even now. But if it did, we each have our own incomes and won’t need to cannibalize the other’s life to make our own work.

Guilty as charged and now I notice that too. I got two good kids out of it, and she's out of my hair.

From the dawn of recorded history until the late Victorian Era marriage was regarded as a burden for the Man. The sentimentality of the industrial era really pissed on ancient wisdom.

Anyway, check out this absolute delusional lunacy from an unmarried 42 professional woman. Sorry for CCP stream:
https://www.tiktok.com/@kimbalina55/video/7102224862885956910

She actually has a "Marketing Plan", but it's not marketing, it's prospect qualification. Her speadsheet - NO SHIT - begins just before the 2 minute mark. She has qualifiers for the potential multihull prospects, but not much in the way of a Catamaran to exhibit.


Everything from physicially fit to being "Moderate to Left Leaning" Politically - in the required Category. Gotta be taller, but he can't be shallow, while also being minimally or not religious.

She also still planning on having a baby, somehow going through courtship at lightening speed within months, at 42.

Realistic standards for 40-something women:
* Employed
* Not an addict
* Not secretly married
* Semi Housebroken
* Completely Clueless about Women (otherwise you'd have no chance)

These womyn are so dumb that they don't realize they fell prey to the globalist dumbing down scheme and no have zero common sense capacity left. No man who wants offspring will start with a 40+ yr old woman. 35 is the absolute cutoff these days imo for a serious relationship with the goal of starting a family, it used to be more like 25, but advances in fertility and womyn's fitness knowledge related to fertility probably stretched it by 10+ years.

Formula is half a man's age plus seven years? LOL! That would be 42 for a 70 yo man, still somewhat pre-menospausal.

Crowder and many others were all cuckoo for Hoho Puffs when they first got married, too.

This single mom-of-two went from looking for the one to looking out for no. 1.

Amanda Trenfield, 46, says she has no regrets for leaving her longtime husband for a “soulmate” — who subsequently rejected her.

Trenfield made worldwide headlines last year after detailing the emotional saga in a memoir entitled, “When A Soulmate Says No.”

The Australian author was branded a “self-destructive sociopath” for describing how she ended her 14-year marriage to the father of her children due to an electric encounter with a hunky man known only as Jason.

However, despite the huge public backlash — and the heartbreak she endured after Jason rebuffed a romance — Trenfield has no remorse over her actions.

“I am proud of how I continue to navigate my life, respecting and honoring those closest to me,” the author declared in an Instagram post last week, marking a year since the release of her memoir.

https://nypost.com/2023/05/12/im-proud-of-ending-14-year-marriage-for-soulmate-who-rejected-me/

As I recall it, this bitch talked her husband into attending some expensive Marriage Therapy Weekend Retreat, and late and night made out with the guy - he might have been the bartender or something at this resort. Then she went home, dumped her 14-year marriage and kids, and called him up.

"It's me, Amanda, your soul mate, let's run away together"

Dude got Bunny Boiler vibes from her and basically told her to fuck off and regretted hooking up with her married old ass.

Then she wrote a book about how Stunning and Brave she was about the whole thing.

That seems to be a common histrionic feature of the solipsistic bitch theme i.e. claiming to be 'brave survivor' instead of a massive careening fuck up.

I'm rather disappointed that my life hasn't been an orgiastic, Caligulan succession of nude, nubile groupies tearing at my zipper, but I don't take it out on my wife, at least not most of the time.

This is an oft told story - girl sees a hunk she wants to trade up with, but hunk only wants a one-time piece. Lady ought to know that hunks who tryst with married women do so because they want sex without commitment. They just want you to have a short affair and go back to hubby.

Is it me or is basic knowledge about human nature, something most people in previous generations got by their mid 20s depending on their setting and experiences, on the decline

I blame Wokeism of course. Some groups, including half the population, simply can't be criticized and though they do something absolutely heinous, somehow the blame is spread around rather than being with the perpetrator.

They want to pick the winners from the finish line - another thing Tradcucks get wrong (in earlier days, when people married younger, women supported men to achieve. These days women only want men after they've struggled to achieve, usually after age 30 and the men have some proven accomplishments and are definitely on the pathway upward for certain - yet still deserve half somehow if they divorce these guys in a few years despite not being around in his struggle/pay dues years) - and most run at the first sign of difficulty unless they had really strict values pounded into them. And even that's no guarantee the way society is so hostile to any tradition.

yep, they're done fucking the bad boy losers and getting pumped and dumped, now they need to draw their attention to all the accomplished males who worked hard in the meantime to leech off. Note that very few will actually become quite successful and make their career their everything, but they will pay the price with advanced age and fading looks, and not being able to "commit" mentally to any man who makes less than they do, so they turn into bitter harridans who leave all their fortune to leftoid causes, peta or drink it away and spend it on male escorts. Back in the days when we had the 1 income earner model with the stay at home wife things were much more natural, not perfect, but def better than today. Successful marriages are still possible today, but way harder to come by. And the value men can find in marriage has diminished significantly.

Has been a point of contention with all American womyn. Europeans and others are right in this case that most Americans have succumbed to stupid hallmark holidays to derive their self worth from. Social media only made it worse. Everywhere else you take your mom out for a coffee or call her and say thanks for all that you did for me and that's it. Also the US seems the only country where womyn expect their husbands to plan mother's day and give them cards on behalf of their kids whereas everywhere else it's strictly the kids only driving it once they are old enough to sincerely express gratitude.

My own mother used to complain that my dad never did anything for her on mother's day. He would tell her "You're not my mother." I thought that was hilarious.

How many have at least been separated/divorced once? According to stats it should be close to 50% of those who have been married once, so I'd peg it at 25%.
