fuggnificent Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 our society has become too self centered. i blame selfies and social networking. the more selfie social networking (ssn) the less marrying going on i dont blame my own single hoodness on this. i was this way way way before EVERYONE and their momma was online. when i grew up only the nerdiest of the nerds were using the internet to chat with folks and back then no one used pics...it was all anonymous. thank god cuz i was 11 and some pervs would have ended up UNDER the jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnmjy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Not getting married while having children is mostly a black problem. I can't draw inferences with the limited statistics I saw, such as socioeconomic issues regarding that, but most Americans still get married before starting a family. In some countries, like Iceland and Sweden, having bastard children is the norm now. Women have more power there and the state provides many services. Most American millennials are still projected to get married anyway. Over a quarter won't, which is the highest of any generation to date. Compare that to Japan, where over forty percent of milllennials are projected to never marry. Having bastard children in Japan is still a huge taboo, so you can imagine just how dire the popuation decline crisis really is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 too self centered? Maybe it's just that the idea...no forgive me the laws and basic idea of marriage are outdated, it's just too easy for one person to get took advantage of..or fear they might be...even dating back to times were governments were ran by religion... It was even more screwed up then a man might grow vindictive of his wife visa/versa, and try to cut the other out.. I believe society has adjusted itself accordingly to be honest..

Sieg67 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Maybe it's because more and more people are starting to realize how pointless(and possibly stupid) marriage is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouvre Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I got married for particular benefits, tax and otherwise. (Priority housing selection while enrolled in grad school was my first incentive.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaiusIuliusCaesar Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I don't believe in marriage, it was originally a legal framework to exchange women for farm animals, furs, and other Neolithic to bronze age commodities. If I ever get married it will be to placate my parents and for financial/legal benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
