As said above it's funny (sad funny) that people ASSume so much when confronted with inconvenient truths. They squirm, contort, deflect, distort, deny and do everything possible to avoid confronting it. The original topic here was a well-written article summarizing many of the ways that marriage in the context of "modern" western society is a huge liability - especially for men. Nobody here has refuted that, not even a little. There are plenty of people who have essentially said "well I'm doing it (or 'I've done it') anyway so screw you and your facts". Okay, fine. To each their own. It doesn't change the facts and the statistics. I hope it works out well for you but for a lot of people (including several I know personally and witnessed happen first-hand) it can go south in a hurry. It's like Russian Roulette - maybe it's exhilarating for a while but if it goes badly, boy howdy... Watch out. If you're a male, hold onto your ass.

Many people here doth assume too much - particularly about people they don't know and have never met. It makes me laugh seeing how very wrong they are.
