But the numbers don’t lie, even if our Instagram feeds do.
For years, we’ve been force-fed the same sickening story. Young Americans aren’t getting married because they simply can’t afford to. The economy is disastrous, wages are too low, and housing costs require selling a kidney.
If we could just inject another thirty grand into everyone’s bank accounts, young lovers would magically sprint down the aisle. It’s a beautiful, thoroughly victim-centric fairy tale that makes everyone nod along. It’s also absolute nonsense.
Government handouts and cultural decay have combined to tell men that effort is for suckers.
A recent report from the Institute for Family Studies dismantles the narrative. The data reveals that the slow-motion suicide of American marriage has less to do with stagnant pay and much more to do with a mind virus that has convinced an entire generation they are too poor to love.
We love blaming the system because it absolves us of our crippling neuroses. But the numbers don’t lie, even if our Instagram feeds do.
Nope. Watched three of my buddies get married and then divorced within about a 7 year span. All three were good guys, religious, conservative, responsible, employed and fit/athletic. All were (in my opinion) raised well by stable homes. All three got crushed. None of them saw divorce coming and they all got financially crushed. One is now a full time, raging alcoholic, one contemplated suicide and the last one sold what little he had and disappeared.
It’s just not worth it.
So true
Women have a different thinking process, no need to argue, just nod your head and go about your business.
