In the absence of religion, societies drift towards atheistic 'humanism' (progressivism by another name) or some form of statism.

Why should young men get married? Why should they risk EVERYTHING for the rest of their lives, when women have massive incentives to divorce them for cash and prizes? They have seen what happened to men like me, and they don't want to go through it. Its not fear, its not that they are intimidated by women, or want to control them, its a simple cost benefit analysis. The risks are far greater than any benefit for them, and men being logical beings are not going to take a risk with zero pay off. The ONLY thing they get out of it is spicy time with her, and the problem is there is NOTHING keeping her from giving that to anyone else she wants. In fact she will be rewarded for doing that by the state. She is rewarded for doing everything wrong while he is punished regardless of what he does. Change the laws, remove the incentives for women to divorce, and stop punishing men for being fathers and husbands. Metaphor: Lets say there is a busy street with a delicious ice cream stand on the other side. Would you cross the street if two of every ten men who cross are hit by a bus? Would you cross if it were 4 of ten? Well its 8 out of ten get hit by the bus, and the ice cream isn't all that great over there. I crossed the street twice, and it cost me everything except for some rusty old cars. The religious couples are divorcing too now, so you can forget that. I am 54 and my final divorce was ten years ago, my life is vastly better now than it ever was with a woman in it. Its all take on their end, and no giving back. So I am done, and no matter how many times they hit on me, I know they are not worth the effort and risk. Stop. Punishing. Men. and stop rewarding women for anything and everything they do. Otherwise, yeah men are not going to play that game where its all massive risk.

[@robchurch881]

Young men are not terrified, they are realistic in the fact that most marriages don't last and realistic in the fact that the divorce laws are stacked against them. One major factor is what happened to my son and many of his friends. He watched, was old enough to understand and remember. He watched as my ex wife cheated and destroyed our marriage. He witnessed that there was no abuse and the only one that was toxic in our relationship was his mother. He also witnessed his friends parents go through the same thing, as well as his friends witnessed what happened in my relationship. Whether his mother acknowledged this or not, it emotionally hurt him. Then he watched that after she was the one that cheated and destroyed the relationship, she was awarded custody no matter how hard I fought for it and then she was paid out. After the divorce he had to watch as she was constantly bashing me to anyone that listened and she was bashing all men. So if he can't trust his own mother and witnessed how dishonest she was, how is he supposed to trust a woman to not do the same thing to him?

Ironic that many times when I've told my male friends that these laws and the society is unfair to men, they get offended 😂 but i feel that way because I come from a society where gender inequality exists in a very real, very tangible form in some regions of the country (and is unequal or bending towards women in other parts of the country). Seeing women in villages suffer really changes your perspective when you hear western women complain that they don't like their partner because of something trivial.

With that being said, as long as i could remember i never even wanted to get in a serious relationship. I did however but i never really took it serious because i was afraid of depending on another person. I do love my girlfriend but it's almost like a choice i make if that's understandable.

No fault divorce was brought in in California decades ago because abused women were GETTING MURDERED by their husbands. But to pretend that we can't keep no fault divorce laws to protect abused women, but simultaneously add in clauses and paragraphs in the legislation to make exceptions say in the case of wife's adultery and paternity fraud...is dishonest and it artificially keeps the debate going when it doesn't have to. I see this problem on both sides. Liberals claim conservatives ONLY want to take away abused women's ability to escape an abusive marriage and that they don't really have any intention of seriously protecting victimized men, and conservatives seem to pretend they don't know that keeping no fault divorce DOESN'T MEAN that those types of extra clauses or exceptions I mentioned can be added in.

Women are not necessarily better off, either, and are still at risk of abuse by violent partners in defacto relationships. So whilst I agree that there's misinformation or misrepresentation from some liberals and some conservatives, you can't give the impression that no-fault divorce is better than not after decades of evidence suggesting the opposite.

Conservatives need to understand that "just do it because I say it's for the best" is NOT a compelling argument. Put forth some solutions on how to fix the goddamn problem and then you won't need to even convince people to get married, they'll just naturally start doing it again.

Marriage and divorce are lucrative industries in the Western world, particularly in the US. The entire process, from obtaining a marriage license to hiring wedding professionals, and eventually engaging divorce attorneys, revolves around substantial financial transactions. Consequently, any potential reforms that could affect the profitability of these industries are unlikely to be passed. In my family, we have three siblings, and we often humorously refer to the middle child as the black sheep. This jest is ironic because he is the only one among us who has successfully maintained a marriage for the past thirty years and has raised three children. Furthermore, they have resided in the same house for over twenty years. Our upbringing stems from a broken home, with parents who married multiple times. Infidelity and instances of abuse were prevalent. Both my other brother and I have experienced divorces and subsequent remarriages, mirroring our parents' patterns. However, rest assured, we have both found stability and love in our current marriages, but it was a challenging journey to reach this point. It is too easy to dip in and out of marriage. Excluding things like abuse (There are many types of abuse), and infidelity. I have no idea what the answers are. This is truly mind-bending and thank you for the thoughtful interview.

This is important because divorce can (and usually does) leave a man financially worse off than before he met his now ex-wife. It's huge risk. She's not given me a good reason why I should take the risk. What reward will I get? I ask because... 2) The women themselves, an overwhelming majority have become quite intolerable. Walking down the street I just see ladies I want absolutely nothing to do with. Their values don't match mine, they drink like fish, swear like sailors, have multiple tatoos and are materialistic and shallow to the core. Such a person will be a headache to live with. Men want someone we can solve problems with not someone coming to add problems for us to solve. Lila has acknowledged that marriage is a huge risk but what I've never heard her talk about is the fact that even if men decided to man up most women aren't worthy and that's not something any man can ignore. What Lila and the other tradcons need to realize is that in order to fix marriage, society must first fix the problems on the female end first. Not holding my breath though because not even the conservatives will acknowledge that women and government interference are the problem not marriage.

[@marriagecausesdivorce7540]

The women have become "intolerable" because they now have delusional high standards. They have delusional high standards because they now have high paying jobs and the backing of the family courts if something goes wrong it the marriage. Marriage in 2023 is a fool's errand. Society and expectations surrounding marriage has completely changed.

[@S91761]

You said some important things there. I agree. Fixing the system would maybe decrease the number of divorces because women won't see the benefit for divorce but instead of divorces, you will have unsuccessful marriages. So the underlying issues need to be fixed. Marriage isn't needed for survival like our grandparents and getting marriage after 6 months is unnecessary today. So, people need to take more time to know each other. Self improve, study people and have self-awarness.

[@ilikecommenting6849]

For most men, there is almost no significant risk: less than 10% of divorce included alimony settlements. What happens in almost al cases: 1) no alimony 2) if you own a home, the party that is able to afford it will stay there and buy out the other party 3) the other party will go rent a place 4) probably there will be child support. If you have a problem paying for your children than you're a loser anyways. For work, I have seen HUNDREDS of divorce papers: the overwhelming majority (95%) are amicable.

[@marriagecausesdivorce7540]

@@ilikecommenting6849 a lot of your comments are fundamentally flawed. For example, I do not technically or legally pay alimony each month because I got rid of that obligation by increasing the share of the house that my wife was awarded (70%). So although I do not legally pay alimony (I made still lost money in alimony by giving up a greater share of my former house). As you say, 95% of the paperwork is amicable but divorce paperwork doesn't say amicable or non-amicable. After paying thousands in legal fees trying to fight against the system/judges, men give up and concede to the wife's demands in order to stop her doing parental alienation and in order to stop the crushing legal fees. There is a reason why marriage is going extinct in many Western countries. It is way too dangerous for men. Hence the creation of pre-nups in some countries.

Of my parent’s 7 siblings, only 2 have been divorced, the rest are still successfully married for decades. Of my 30+ cousins, again I think only 2 have had any sort of divorce or separation, the rest married and a few still single and not sleeping around. Somehow I’m still single but not for lack of a good example. I think I’m just an extreme introvert. God willing, someday I’ll find my mate.

[@marriagecausesdivorce7540]

Good luck to you. Your parents and grandparents marriages don't count as they had to stay together for survival and social reasons. However your siblings and cousins are very impressive. Main thing is, don't rush into marriage. If you do rush in, you will probably end up regretting it for the rest of your life. If you are going to do marriage, vet her properly, chose wisely, and consider getting a pre-nup.

So true about divorce part. In my workmate son's classroom, he was the only one with both birth parents still married. My wife once called local authorities regarding some paperwork regarding our firstborn (2 years of our marriage at that time). The lady on the phone was surprised we were still married and congratulated us ("Well done!"). We were shocked: does it mean most couples get divorced before 2nd year of marriage? It happened 16 years ago, so now it must be probably even worst, I assume? What is wrong with people now?

[@ravenzyblack]

Yes. Modern women even refer to the first husband a “starter husband.” I’m in my 40’s but the majority of my class mates in high school came from divorced families.

My father came from a big family, and he is the only one of his male siblings that didn’t get divorce at least once.

Marriage has been dead for awhile. Better adapt, gentleman, or suffer the consequences.

[@nathantabor6901]

I listed to this whole thing. I have to point this out. Clarifier: I'm happily married with a great life. I have a great job and three sons. But I cannot recommend marriage in good conscience to anyone. It is dangerous, legally speaking. I've watched my father, my brother, my brother in law, my friends get divorced and they all came from good families and good homes. There are zero consequences to breaking a marriage AND there are zero incentives to get married. You CAN get all the benefits of marriage without getting married. Now, to make the point that Lila ALWAYS conveniently forgets (because marriage is always in a woman's best interest and not a mans) is that women will never vote to change the marriage laws, divorce laws, OR the ridiculously broken state of the grinder we call the Family Court System. Women outnumber men. Women always protect the sisterhood. Women don't want monogamy in their prime years but want it when their clock starts to tick down but will shame men into monogamy when men finally hit their stride in their prime years. Marriage used to give a man respect, children (legacy), stake in the community, a pure/chaste/feminine woman that respected him, and a promise of someone who would stick by you through thick and thin. You don't need marriage for that anymore because it DOES NOT provide that exclusive of other methods. Men, you have to know and remember this. Women CAN wake up and falsely accuse you and wreck your life with ZERO consequences. Child support and alimony and reputation destruction can destroy you. The social aspects of culture reinforcing good family life do not exist anymore. Women used ot keep other women in line through setting good examples and shaming bad behavior. That does not exist anymore. So to answer the question. Unfortunately, the Red Pill is not wrong about marriage. You cannot argue with the statistics, the consequences, and the trail of broken lives left in the wake of marriage being torn up like some used oil rag. Marriage isn't marriage anymore. And for those that call me a hypocrite for being married, I found a good woman. RARE. Lucky, call it what you want. It isn't the norm. Also, I didn't really get educated on red pill stuff, evolutionary psychology, until I started seeing divorce destroy the men in my life. Good luck out there.

Amen. I’m not married but my father is successful (as is most of my family) and I’ve never heard the men extol the virtues of marriage to me (the opposite in fact) and I’ve heard men say they wouldn’t go back and do it again (despite being successful at it)

There are many revolutions going on and the sexual revolution is the most pervasive as it touches basically every aspect of our lives. I think a lot of it is DEEPLY misguided.

There are kinks in the system so you iron those out, don't break a solid foundation for no reason. We should be seeing improvements but we aren't.

I’ve been happily married for 18 years.

You will inevitably compare your partners, and comparison is the thief of joy. 3: combine everything. There is no “his her” rent. That means one bank account both of you have access to. Before buying anything over 200.00 bucks, discuss it, 4: Before you’re married, discuss expectations. How many kids do you want? How do each of you define husband and wife? What religion to both of you follow. 5: marriage isn’t hard, it’s a compromise. You’ll have hard times, but it’s your spouse’s hard time too: lean on them. 6: you and your spouse should be trying to out bless, out please, and out serve the other. If both of you agree to that going in, you’ll be in a much better place.

Best experience to have if you're thinking about getting married. Get divorced first, then you'll understand why marriage is a scam.

My parents are divorced. My grandparents on one side were divorced. The other side were miserable. It took me into my 30s to be ready for marriage. I was a mess before that. I was lucky, I knew I was messed up and took steps to make myself marriageable because I knew I wanted to be married. I read evidence based advice from Gottman and also studied families that were intact. My husband's parents are together, which has helped. His brain just doesn't compute divorce as an escape hatch.

11:08 men killing themselves because they can't see their kids after divorce. Women most effected because contraceptives 😢

I worked with a few young men in my last job who had NEVER seen a marriage that worked out up close. Hard to convince them that its a good thing.
