I can only speak about where I grew up but I think American women are un-marriageable today. I think state marriage itself is a failed institution. Do you think it should be abolished as a legal contract? I do. For the young men in the U.S. I can say that you should never get legally married, not with an American, much less at a young age. You'll be had like people I know and many others I've heard of. The latest one is a friend of mine duped by a bimbo; I won't get into details.

And regardless of what some naive younger people may think, your "soulmate" is not whoever you met in high school and there is no such thing. Look up the divorce rate. Also if you're a young guy working hard to get high in the world, wait until you have the advantage over the women through money and power. Just have your fun in the meantime. The chicks who told you to get lost when they were young and hot, chased by every guy and got free things will be itching to get with you when they start losing their looks. After they've spent a decade getting banged out by hot guys, the ride will be over for them. Get with a younger, better one instead, but never marry them. Guys have this advantage, we only gain value as we age if we work hard. Not so with female bimbos.
I sense too that you have had yourself a few too many run-ins with bimbos that screwed you over. What I believe about marriage is that in order for it to work both people need to be on board. You seem to have lost faith in females, and I am sorry that you feel that way. But marriage/building a family is doable and very rewarding if the proper effort is put forth. My parents have been together 43 years and counting and all my aunts and uncles are happily married as well and that's like another 6 couples. Not to mention all of my cousins.. in fact I cannot think of a single divorced relative of mine..

In any case part of the reason marriages fail today is the fact that people can live independently if they want to whereas throughout history that was probably a much tougher road to travel, not to mention, people tend to be lazy, self-centered and when the going gets tough.. they get going.. apart. Somehow society has gotten this idea that love is just this feeling you get and has nothing to do with your attitude and actions, when in reality true love is a choice. People who cannot understand that are probably going to be destined for a divorce someday. And I know that divorce is not always avoidable, so I am not saying there is nobody out there who should not have gotten divorced. But from what I have seen marriage can be a great thing and I look forward to getting married to my GF soon.
