Xtype, naaaaaaah. If that's their experiences then they need to take a step back and realize that they just picked the wrong women. We're not all materialistic biatches.
=========================
Not ALL. Just 80% or so.

80% of all divorces are instigated SOLELY by the women.

The women are continually grizzling that they have far less income on the single mums or on part time work than their exs , who still work full time

BUT

The women walk away with 80% of the assetts.

So it's fine if the guys are lucky enough to find that other 20%. Else they are beter offf single.

Who said shes the right choice? Statistically men raise better kids. More worldly, more able, more able to survive well. IT's a fact. He will not be worried about finding a mate or finding a woman to help.

Sure some guys are dead beats. A guy willing to go for the kids is very likely to be the best parent. It's not an absolute of course. But it seems to pan out. I'm a great parent.
================================

You just proved that your own stats aint worth spit fella.

Men don't raise better kids.

Top class guys, like you, raise better kids. Not because your'e guys, but because your'e top class. If you are just a regular guy then you don't get custody. She does unless she's a totally hopeless case.

Awww...It's soo sad to hear :(
Im 32 and i can't wait to be with someone...It bothers me when i hear men say they will NEVER marry or NEVER marry again...
Marriage can be a wonderful special thing, and i've been waiting all this time for someone I could be with for the rest of my life...
No Government conspiracies or strikes....when It's right, you CAN make it work if you work at it.
To have such a negative idea of something soo special is sad...
When i hear people say they have been married for many many years, and see that twinkle in their eyes, it makes me jealous..If it makes me look Naive, well, i dont care...

Ms Puppy. I'm usually into gender reversals.
But the same methods apply here. Try thinkg about this. Read it out aloud to a few of your girlfriends and see how fast the ridicule starts.

I firmly believe that too many men and women get married for the worng reasons. I also think that if it just arguing and fussing or someone else shows one of the spouses more attention than thier mate then all judges should tell each married couple, SORRY YOU ARE GETTING A DIVORCE and that you both took vows to be together until one dies, and that is how it will be. :) That way both partied have to work together from the stupid little things. The judge should also tell the one that wants to get divorced: I WILL GRANT YOU THE DIVORCE BUT YOU WILL NOT GET ANYTHING(NO MONEY,NO HOUSE,NO ALIMONY) BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONE BREAKING THE VOWS.

Nope, no thank you to ever getting married again.

Been there done that and didn't even get to keep the T-Shirt.

At my age there is no benefit to marriage, I have all the kids I'm ever gonna have, ya pay more taxes when married vs. single, and if you and the S.O. come to a point where it's time to move on you don't have to involve lawyers and the courts.

However the worst part is that unless the family courts and the divorce laws change I will counsel my son to never get married due to the inequalities inherent in the current system.

Marriage Strike... HAHAHAHA

What a bunch of losers!! Please.. get real, we all make bad decisions in life, and that's why we should learn from them. Not use them to DETER our children from marital bliss!!

Counsel your son? HAHAHA it sounds like you're the one that needs the counseling!!

Didn't your daddy tell you, You can't live with them, you can't live without them? HAHAHA

The problem with the war between the sexes is: Too much fraternization with the enemy.

I have the feeling that most of the strikers would go scab for a wink and a nod from the right woman...

YES it did actually.

Made me learn what I don't want in someone.
Made me learn how I had to change myself to make a marriage work.
Made me learn that there are always two people in a relationship.

Sounds like you are bitter, because we all know that YOU are perfect and it's the rest of the world that's screwed up!

Your problem is, you haven't found yourself yet! That's why you're afraid to get married again!!

Well I think if a man gets married to someone and has kids with her....he should get the house and kids and the women should be free to PARTY every night and find a new honey to have a good time with....and he should have the job of the house and kids....bet the guy would think twice about being stuck with a house to clean and kids to stress over...so guys don't get married to someone you don't plan on staying with for life....or you just might get stuck someday with what we women have been doing for years....LET"S All just Party and have a good time....and try to get along and LOVE each other we are all we have...their are no other sexes out their just a man and a woman....so the choice is up to us.. marry or not but do it with the plan to make it a good life for everybody.....kids need a dad and a mom..and we all need Love....so what ever you do, just do it with Love in your heart and you will never go wrong......

I and every other guy would be begging to get married if we knew we could get a deal like that. Even better if, if the exes had to work and give us money too.

====================================
Thats not as much of an "if" as you migh think. It's actually starting to happen. When 30 something , professional women, divorce working class men, the men can often prove that they are the better parent. They often HAVE spen more time wiht the kids while mum has built the carrer and they often end up with the kids and the hous and mum has to pay them maintinance.

This has actually led to a marriage strike among 30 somethig professional women.

No lie is too big or outrageous for women to fabricate if they have some agenda.

The facts are men are almost never awarded custody of the children.

A study of all divorce-custody decrees in Arlington County, Va., during an 18-month period found that no father was given sole or even joint custody unless the mother agreed to it. An Ohio study published in Family Advocate found that fathers seeking sole custody obtain it in less than 10 percent of cases, and a Utah study conducted over 23 years found similar results. According to the 2000 Census Bureau report, mothers constitute 85 percent of all custodial parents. See http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_30_18/ai_90753066

The facts are professional women are not on a marriage strike; instead, they cannot find husbands.

The rule of thumb seems to be that the more successful the woman, the less likely it is she will find a husband or bear a child. For men, the reverse is true. Maureen Dowd (03-05-06)

Sylvia Ann Hewlett, an economist, conducted a survey and found that 55 percent of 35-year-old career women are childless. Between a third and half of 40-year-old professional women are childless. The number of childless women age 40 to 44 has doubled in the past 20 years. And among corporate executives who earn $100,000 or more, she says, 49 percent of the women did not have children, compared with only 10 percent of the men.

On "60 Minutes" Lesley Stahl talked to two young women who go to Harvard Business School. They agreed that while they are the perfect age to start families, it was not so easy to find the right mates. The girls said they hid the fact that they go to Harvard from guys they meet, because it's the kiss of death. "The H-bomb," they call it. "As soon as you say Harvard Business School . . . that's the end of the conversation." "As soon as the guys say, 'Oh, I go to Harvard Business School,' all the girls start falling into them."

Add to this the startling statistic recently reported, that 92% of women who gave birth
while holding a college degree, were married. General population produces a 20-40+% rate,
depending on ethnicity............

Some of them need to go on strike... because
they have no idea about the postion of being a husband
anyway...
=============
And of course, Rainbow.
The rest are on strike because their ex's had absoloutely no idea about the psition of being a wife.

If i ever was to divorce my husband for any godly reasons.There would be a fair share with our (3) kids.I would never put my kids into such horrible lifestyle so truly divorcing my husband will never be an issue.Although if it ever does happen i could careless taking any belongings.If he wants the house he can have it.He can have everything i even owned if it matters to him that much.Materials can be replaced that should never be an issue.My clothes and personal jewelries of mine is good enough.He can even take the vehicles and we have(6) of them no joke.Material stuff and more stuff don't we have so much of?
I believed mature descisions being understanding about how separations or divorces should truly give everyone a chance to console to understand one another and not greed of STUFF!
The hard time kids are going through is not fair.I understand you can maybe not stand one another but to give your children and emotional turmoil is down right disrespecful.These children never asked to be brought into this world.At least give them the benefit that you do love them even of you or anyone else have to through divorce or seperation.I grew up never had the chance to see my fathers face wondering what the f* ck i even made it into this world the feeling of lost.My mother divorce my father and refused for us to see him.Now that's truly messed up.Don't EVER EVER put your kids through these lifestyle.That's mental abuse just so you realized.

Ok enough of my rant good day!

Women are not known for being accurate in predicting how they will act and what they will do. They just say whatever pops into their head and sounds good.

Most women claim to be like that. None have proven to be like that; it is always about the money and how much they can get.

Hey c'mon there are plenty of deadbeat moms too...who whine to their ex for money...money....money...like c'mon how many kids need 800 bucks a month to live on? Or worse...I have heard of dad's having to fork over thousands a month in 'child support'....what a joke....and shame ont he courts for playing that feminazi game.

I dont blame men for not getting married....too many women are players....just want sex, or money...and love...who cares about that. I have met alot of women who outright asked me to jump in the sack with them....and were shocked to find that I dont play that sex game. Afterwards...they started to ask me if i was gay, because I wouldnt sleep with them...what a joke.

My hats off to men for protecting their wallets....and especially to those who keep it in their pants away from the morally deprived.
