They just plow ahead anyway, registering at those overpriced gift registries, sure that they're going to get rich from all the guests they're going to invite, same as they're sure they're going to get rich every time they buy a lottery ticket.
I know that this is the language people use these days, but can we make an effort to do away with using the word "register" in this context?
Making an "I'm getting married, so give me free stuff" list abuses the verb
to register.
Women love to say stuff like "we have to go register at Bed, Bath and Beyond this weekend."
Sorry bitch. You aren't registering at all. You're just running around a store with a UPC scanner and making a list of things that you will more or less demand that other people give you.
If I ever get married, the only wedding gifts accepted will be checks made out to a charity of my choosing. Hell, I'll use the money to build a school for children who have virtually nothing.
I am a man. I don't live in a period of time when people got married young and absolutely depending on help from friends and relatives to acquire the essentials that they would need to manage an effective household. If I get married, it will be because I am in a good financial position to do so. I won't ask to charity or straight up gifts from people who maybe haven't even talked to me in years.
Women love to use the word "register" to describe create a "give me, give me" list because it disguises begging as an administrative task that is one of the many important things they have to do before getting married.
Newsflash: planning a wedding is not tough unless you make it tough. 95% of the headaches in planning weddings are invented my women and are entirely unnecessary. You don't
have to register this weekend at Bed, Bath and Beyond. You
want to because you like getting free stuff from your parent's friends.
Let's do away with the misuse of the word "register." Let's call it what it is. This weekend I need to go "beg for free stuff to decorate my house with at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Stupid bitches.

Its understandable why men would want to get married, it's not necessarily a beta move. Having routine sex with a high quality woman is a better option that playing the Russian Roulette with one night stands and fuck buddies. Of course this is one perspective, personally I think a lot of men have to realise that the rules of marriage have changed. The provider, protecter role is no longer a uniquely cherished masculine quality.
I know of these naive guys who are just waiting to be picked up by the nearest average looking woman who would like them. So they can get a comfortable job and "do the right thing". I see marriage working with a red pill woman, who is a virgin or has had the minimum of two sexual partners, if anything they could add to your value (Albeit not something you should rely on , being external).
In a society where women understand their role and responsibilities, marriage is a great option. Because women take value that extends beyond sexual satisfaction away from a marriage, in theory, a guy can net a higher value woman as a wife than as a quick lay, as most of the quick lays go to the top 5%.
Of course, this doesn't work in an "all about me" "you can have it all" society where women in no way understand or respect their responsibilities.
If consistent sex is part of the deal, the average guy has an option to deal with his sexual needs efficiently and save his energy for projects that offer more than physical satisfaction. In a society where most guys will be marrying and having sex with hotter women than they would otherwise consistently bedding, this makes a great deal of sense.
But in a society where women have sex only when they want it and with whom they want it, this doesn't work at all and men are better off not committing to a woman at all, since in marriages where a woman feels no obligation to cheerfully satisfy her man, she's just a net taker. She's committed nothing.
