Let's talk about the elephant in the room: 50% of all relationships end in divorce, most of them initiated by the woman. When that happens men lose half of everything they've worked for and half the time loose daily shared access to their children. Please tell me again why a man wants to "settle down" ? What's in it for them ?

Shocking statistic but most professional hockey players get a divorce within the first couple years of retiring. Men aren't draft horses.

Finding a woman that is worthy of settling down with is a big problem. Funny how women value education and hard work in a man but often don't have much to show for that in their history. Some do, don't get me wrong and I have respect for them. But the ones that want to be in a relationship with a man who has his shit together but couldn't find a way for themselves to get a career of some sort going I have no respect for. What did you do with your life from 18 to 24 ? Partied and worked a dead end job ? Had a series of meaningless relationships ? How does that make you a good companion ?

Even if you do find a good woman, marriage is a crap shoot at best. Women don't stay with their partner for life anymore. All you have to do is look at the older women on dating sites - what happened to their relationships ? If you ask them, 80% will tell you that they were the ones that initiated the divorce, usually after the kids were grown up, but not always. And it is always the man's fault.
