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 scree you and your facts". Okay fine. To each their own. It doesn't change the facts and the statistics.

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.

Dueling articles it is - Men get much more out of marriage then women do. I have an article that proves it (I guess we are going with this rather inane logic now....)

A much better article - not anonymous and posted on some wordpress 'I hate women' site, written by a well respected PhD in a leading publication, gosh, with actual facts and research behind it (I didn't see a single report or case study credited in the 'thing' that was in the OP, it was merely opine and rather unsubstantiated within the context of the paper)- and you don't have to slog through misspellings (you really thought the paper posted in the OP was well written - really - it was terribly written POP)...

Is Marriage Worth It For Women? The benefits go mostly to men.
