Does the modern man need marriage?

Being around an age you would get married or be married, I constantly question whether getting married is worth the risk. Modern women don't really want to work at all, but with the cost of living they are basically forced to do it, so they are even more miserable because of this. Forget about traditional gender role house chores, if she is working she isn't going to have any interest in doing that, most women have the viewpoint that its sexist anyway. I don't know how doing the laundry or cooking became "sexist", but whatever.

The best course of action for a guy, that is if you really, REALLY want kids is to get married with an iron clad pre-nuptial OR just knock up a woman with good genetics and pay for the kid. Most women will refuse a pre-nup, if she does well don't UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, marry her. Women seem to think its not romantic because they operate under the delusion that life should be lived like a romantic comedy movie.

Is this viewpoint normal given modern society?

    Pretty damn ignorant and misogynistic post.
    I certainly think you are correct in your case, marriage to a woman would be a huge mistake.
    You should try dating men, it might work out better for you.

      Well how has it worked out for you? Strange thing to say for someone who is "happily married" himself.

        How in the world has your post got anything to do with mine?
        Yes, I'm happily married to a woman. I don't agree with one single thing the OP said about women.
        So please, what is YOUR point, if you actually have one? It seems you just wanted to see something you wrote, no matter how stupid, posted online.

    You're either a troll, or just bitter.

      I'm not a gambling woman, but if I were my money would be on bitter, because trolls are usually more interesting and creative.

        I choose to respond to your post because Tealights is a bit too much of a "modern woman" for me, and frankly her viewpoints are immature.

        Everyone has a different experience so everyone has different viewpoints. I've lived with 3 different women (not married) all could be considered "modern women". Each one of them viewed traditional gender role chores as "sexist". I'm confused as to how this happened in society? This grand experiment in "equality" has completely failed and only led to either "feminized" men and/or angry/frustrated women asking "where have all the real men gone".

        The pre-nuptial viewpoint I expressed I would advise for either gender before marriage, especially if there are considerable personal assets being brought into the marriage heavily favoring one side. I would have no problem signing a pre-nuptial agreement if a woman had double my assets coming into a marriage.

          I agree with Rose, you seem bitter.

          Either find a woman who doesn't mind being a housewife, or simply remain single and tolerate the world as it is while remaining respectful of others' opinions. Enough complaining.

            Sorry, no point in debating you at all. You're too immature and too silly. Being called "bitter" is nothing new. Women need traditional thinking as much as men do. You're too immature and short sighted to see that.

              "Everyone has a different experience so everyone has different viewpoints," you say.

              Yet, "Women need traditional thinking as much as men do."

              Along with bitter, it seems we need to add hypocrite to the mix as well. You're right however, there's no debate here, because you are your worse enemy.

    What if you "knock up" a woman with good genetics, and she decides to have an abortion? The way you talk about knocking up a woman with good genetics is quite presumptuous as if anything and everything you want in this life is for sale.

      It is all for sale. That's what living in a capitalistic society is. Everything is for sale.

        Material goods are for sale; I'm a person, and I sure as Hell ain't for sale.

          You won't like my counter argument here, Rose. But Soapy_Testicles is using a very broad definition of "for sale". Sort of analogous to the way a partnership slot in a law firm might be for sale if the other partners like him and want to work with him.

          On a legal level, the pooling of assets in a marriage results in a bottom line net change for the bride and groom that could be interpreted by accountants as an investment price.

          If you would rather rent a partner, sexual market value always implies a general standard to which the more desirable partner needs to be treated.

          This doesn't preclude spontaneous fun, or loving interdependence. We are all sure that your long tall Texan is just the gentleman for you. Do enjoy your catch.
