0s and Single- Jealousy or Pity?

How many guys do you know who are married or in an LTR whose lives are improved by the woman they're with? I know a tiny minority of guys who (i) really wanted kids, (ii) have had multiple kids with their wife and (iii) haven't gotten divorced - they basically break even on happiness because the positives of kids compensates for the annoyance of having your life tied to a big dumb animal. For the rest (the vast majority), marriage/LTR clearly lowers their quality of life - less freedom, living with dysfunctional behavior, financial costs, divorce, etc. To get married, you have to reject experience, common sense and logic - or have some reason to think you'll be an exception.

HAHAHAHAHA no. I think you meant girlfriend.
Past a certain age there aren't that many emotionally healthy women that will just get in a long-term relationship with no expectation or hope of marriage. Unless you are famous or rich, good luck pulling that off for the rest of your life.
Sir ! the world you want is the one you create. Stop with the conjecture of what women will and won't put up with.....
framed properly and incentivized properly they put with just about anything.

I've never married. Can't way that I ever will. But I can say that I don't look at any of my married (or divorced or twice divorced) friends and think to myself, "Man, I would love to change places with that dude. He's got it made!"
A couple guys got kids and they really love the kids and enjoy being fathers, but very few are still in love with their wives and wouldn't love to be single. They basically stay with the women for the sake of the children. That's the one's that are still married. not to even mention the other horror stories of dudes paying alimonym, child support, and all sorts of other shit from a failed marriage.
