Most young men are single. Most young women are not
The article poses the situation as a problem, and I say &quot;screw that noise&quot; (pun intended) with my anecdote:<p>I&#x27;m a man now in my mid-30s, and I cannot god damn wait until I&#x27;m old enough to be out of the &quot;marriage market&quot; so everyone stops fucking pestering me about marriage.<p>I find absolutely no appeal in the concept. The legal and social risks of associating with women beyond friendships are simply not worth it. I also consider the idea of affecting and being affected by someone to such a deep extent to be a violation of individual freedoms.<p>Last but not least: I consider it a cardinal sin to create kids and then tell them with a straight face that life is, on average, fucking horrible. You know what it&#x27;s like to see your parents pass away? To witness their finals days? It&#x27;s shit. Absolute shit. I refuse to make any kids, my hypothetical kids, suffer that. I&#x27;m not even getting into the other nasty aspects of life. Fuck all that.<p>So marriage can pound sand.
