Guys, marriage transfers your wealth and power to a woman.
That's the primary thing it does when it comes to legalities and social realities.
It doesn't provide you with sex, love, affection, companionship, loyalty, exclusivity, respect, domestic services, or children from a woman. Those are things she can provide without a state marriage license, without a ceremony, without a ring, and getting married will not mean she will be legally or socially obligated to provide those things to you. She can stop providing them at any time, kick you out of your own home, and alienate your children from you. You, however, can be compelled by the force of law to keep paying her way through life, even for things you didn't want her to buy and didn't use, even things that benefit her other lovers.
What we now call marriage is emasculating.
A Free Man runs his own life, decides what to do with his earnings, and retains his power.
A married man only has power and control over his own life and earnings in so much as his wife allows.
The best way to run your own life and control your own wealth is to stay free.
Do you think it would be a good thing to transfer your wealth and power to a particular woman, because you think she'd handle them better than you? Well, the fatal flaw in our current legal and social marriage is that most women are turned off by that. Despite what many self-identified feminists say, most women who marry want the man to take charge, even if those women don't say so or can't even articulate that to themselves. Most women who want a husband are turned off by emasculated men, and marriage emasculates men. These realities have killed many marriages.
Don't play that game.
Get your act together and keep your act together.
Stay free.
"...things that benefit her other lovers." Unfortunately, I have seen this many times on TV. More so, once in real life. The guy was like depressed and I swear he was talking to me because he couldn't even afford a therapist to talk too.
