Why Should Men Get Married Anymore?
The average wedding in the US costs around $20,000 USD. And so does the average divorce. Which makes for a total of $40,000 - just for the procedural costs alone of one run through the cleaners.
Not even to talk about the net assets split, alimony, child support and heavy emotional toll...
And so with no-fault divorces now that require absolutely no rhyme nor reason - what exactly does a man get for his $40,000 USD - a bare minimum for saying "I do?"
I'll bet Sir Paul McCartney is asking himself the same damn question right now!
Remember, in the old days you were paying for EXCLUSIVE SEXUAL ACCESS to your bride! But nowadays, they give out sexual access "free" and even if you get married, it's probably still not going to be exclusive anyways!
So, BEWARE FELLAS - marriage today is a legal/financial nightmare wrapped inside a romantic fantasy! It was made OBSOLETE by FEMINISM and the SEXUAL REVOLUTION. So, it is almost always a losing proposition for men now - essentially voluntary slavery.
If you really want to commit to a woman, just ask her if she'd rather give $40,000 to wedding planners, Uncle Sam & divorce lawyers...or save/spend it on a bigger house, nicer car or more vacations? Why get married when you can promise the very same commitment between yourselves at no cost or legal hassles?
Don't even give marriage the remotest consideration unless you are willing to accept:So really now, why get married?
• Being a guest in your own home
• Losing your pension
• Living with the constant threat of alimony
• Paying $75.00 for a bar of soap shaped like a frog
• Knowing that between fifty and ninety cents of every dollar you make legally belongs to your wife
• Waking up twenty five years from now with a creature that shares few if any interests with you—but controls your estate
• Knowing that your children can be taken from you at any time and used to legally extort money from you that far exceeds their support costs
• Being just another member of the vast army of subservient worker-drones in the matriarchal society
• Supporting a large cast of doctors and lawyers
• Having someone else decide how you are going to spend your money, your vacations and your energy

I'd be wary of even that these days: while courts assume agreements betweeen man and wife are not intended to create legal relations, the same is not true for unmarrieds. It's not hard to imagine some court claiming that your promise and her subsequently having sex with you constitutes a binding contract and this valid grounds for child support/alimony/maintenance.
See this Canadian case for example
'Careful What You Promise'
Goldthorpe v. Logan (1943)
A woman answers an ad guaranteeing removal of facial hair. Treatment fails. Was there a contract? The judge thought so. The ad was the offer. Relying on the Carbolic Smoke Ball case, the judge added: "if the vendor's self-confidence persuaded her into an ... extravagant promise, she cannot now escape a complaint from a credulous and distressed person to whom she gave assurance of future excellence and relief from her burden. The weak unfortunate person, however gullible, can be sure that the courts ... will not permit anyone to escape the responsibility arising from an enforceable contract."

Worse, similar logic would suggest that her consent to sex was predicated upon your promise of commitment and thus that if you later withdraw the commitment, it invalidates her consent, ergo you raped her.
Follow the money: thievery will always find a way to justify itself.
I agree - why bother???
Seriously???
All the great advantages of the women’s liberation movement have created an environment which, frankly, does not leave men with much. We can’t flirt with women at school, college or at the office anymore, because one man’s “flirting” has become another woman’s “sexual harassment” and the punishments for such transgressions are not only severe, they’re permanent—crippling a man’s career and prospects thereof.
When a woman can get pregnant outside wedlock, and still hound a man forever for child support (with the enthusiastic support of the State), is it any wonder that men, even though ruled by their sex drive, might actually step back a little and think with their heads? And once married, if a divorce becomes a later reality, he stands a real risk of losing access to his kids forever, because if Milady is feeling vengeful—and most do, in a divorce—the merest suggestion of “endangerment” or “violence”, and he is completely screwed, forever, even if the allegation is a complete falsehood.
