>>3321175Marriage is pretty much a meme, ‘true love’ is just some marketing ploy they use to get you to buy their products, etc.
In reality? Divorce rates are fucking absurd, and they’re climbing. They’re sitting at 50%+ (being generous in the US with that number) and are only expected to climb. Marriage isn’t worth it, and dating will trigger the “must fuck and find girl to start family” hormone that’s native to every male with a dick and regular hormone levels.
Unironically the best option is the live alone - you don’t have to lose half your paycheck and custody of your children, or risk doing so on the odds no better than a coin toss, just because your dick (and largely, society) tells you that you need to. IMO much better to be off on your own and perfect a craft of something you love, do hobbies and have a large circle of friends who share the same interests. Have pets, keep 100% of your income, and live a happy life.
However, I’ve come to realize that’s pretty fucking absurd to ask people since most of every guy thinks with his dick and every girl has been drunk on the “true love” meme since they were a child - the choice of living an independent life is entirely subjective and is yours to make, just IMO I don’t see how it could even remotely be worth it.
