There's been a new study RE: women giving up on marriage and it includes statistics on the combined household earning of a married couple (Obviously a higher number, it's two people) vs single person. No duh.
I've been noticing men using "poverty" as a scare tactic on why women should reconsider their single status (because they think poverty and being single are mutually exclusive) and that partnering up with a man is somehow going to magically fix that for a woman.
I've never not been in poverty. For a woman in poverty, partnering up with a man is just as bad. My mom has to be a wife, bangmaid, mommy to my also in poverty dad/her husband. So you don't really gain a partner, you just multiply the problem.
It's just two broke people. Me? I'm single and broke but I am also not a bangmaid while being broke. Everyday I do my daily activities to try and get out of poverty of course- trying to find a better job, career build, etc.
To me it's kind of terrifying that men are leaning into the current economic/political climate of course as a scare tactic that it's scary to be a single woman cause the poverty monster is gonna get-cha. Best to find the nearest single man and partner up. But... they're obviously MAKING it this way.
It's like ok passport bros didn't work, they already exhausted all the 3rd world country women now they want to seek out the in-house impovershed women.
The article: It's on the WJS but it's sub blocked. "Women are giving up on marriage" It's a recent study too.
“I'm single and broke but I am also not a bangmaid while being broke.”
Exactly. Being a broke sexual slave is just piling diarrhea on top of shit.
Date/marry a man only if it provides you financial advantage.
OMG I love this post. Thank you for saying this. FACTS! It’s like why on earth would a woman want to struggle but with a Man??? These men are so stupid. If I’m going to struggle, I’ll find women who are also struggling and we can all help eachother and figure it out. Living with a Woman actually means a true 50/50 SPLIT. These men are so stupid for real. It’s so FUNNY how men use to say “good ol ball and chain” now women are opting out . They’re big mad. Nobody wants to be around men , MEN don’t even wanna be around men for long periods of time. Women don’t even wanna be around them. 🤣🤣 like I can’t. These men are miserable. Women are rightfully giving up on marriage because there’s nothing in it for you - just extra housework and a big dirty man nagging you for sex and attention
They just want to scare us into living with them with this tactic because they are HOBOSEXUALS and we are doing well in the workplace and financially.
We've even had the question here a couple of times in the past few months: "Should I move in with a man to cut costs?"
Absolutely NO. Never.
Nothing has drained my bank account faster than bad men I was living with. It's their PLAN for some of the worse ones.
Live alone, remain sane, and hang onto/grow that money you make! It's your ticket to freedom from scrotes.
I used to live in serious poverty before getting a degree. It was better than being married. I got cheap food. Cheap housing, and time to better myself.
And I'm a worse case scenario.
You two could be the richest two people in the world but if your husband gets so ill that he has to go to a nursing home, both of you go back to poverty anyway.
It's the same reason why women historically weren't allowed to work--'cause we wouldn't have to be dependant on men for survival.
You're right, though, most men can't afford to be providers so you're still broke just with a ball and chain that is your broke husband or boyfriend.
I feel like it's miserable either way--roommates are often shitty. Boyfriends are shitty. Being homeless is shitty.
Might as well not add an ungrateful abusive domestic "partner" who just makes more work for you and sucks what little spirit you have left out of you.
I have never given up on marriage. But I did give up on 'MarRiAgE' a LONG time ago.
When a HVM presents himself, is ready, and we are right for each other and want to do legitimate Married life together, I'll consider it.
Most of those scrotes are just looking for a mother replacement and they see their mother as not much more than a cook and a maid.
exactly! you don't have to be single to be poor. and having a 'partner' is not synonym with being finacially comfortable.
It’s interesting men would be using that arugment when previously they’ve call us “golddiggers” for even considering finances when dating. They’ve come full circle I guess. Kind of funny to watch them do their mental gymnastics.
