"If you don't get married, you'll be an exile forever"

Forreal?

They don't want people to get ahead, being married and having kids means your money is going towards supporting them not making any real accomplishment in life.

The government wants you to pop out more little taxpayers for them. That is all.

Real accomplishments like what?

the government needs more tax cattle and it needs to ensure you need a job

women want control over a man's time and finances

It's how women keep their control over men. The moment you get married she owns ur ass and the courts will enforce the fact that she owns ur ass.

I am getting married myself but it's only because I found a literal unicorn, i fully planned on staying a bachelor along with my best friends. However even these guys admit that I really hit the lottery. My fiance is hot, makes nearly as much money as me and is a traditionalist in that she doesn't believe men and women are equal partners in a relationship she believes the man is the head of the family.

It's useful for creating a society that can survive, and it's profitable.

Plus it sounds nice. Dresses and flowers and everything is so perfect and pretty. Apparently - I find them boring.

Forget society at large. Growing up in a hispanic family. And a deeply catholic one too.
If you don't have a kid even out of wedlock or you're not married or at least engaged by about 20 you're already labeled/talked about/viewed as either secretly gay or that there's something wrong with you (medically or mentally). And your parents viewed as having failed at being parents.

And no I'm not exaggerating. There has to be other hispanics on here that have a similar experience. It's just something that you endure.

This, except it's a Christianity thing, not government.

Compulsory monogamous heterosexuality

That's the biggest reason why people consider it so important

Having no real responsibilities and spend your tine having fun instead of dreadfully raising a family and throw your money into a parasitic crotch fruits

Wait, whats compulsory about marriage again? AFAIK arranged marriage are by far the exception in the US. Additionally exclusive homosexual couples are by no means the exception.

Because Holywood has alienated the idea of being a player who doesn't want to commit.

Society. Play your part.

That's not exactly a good thing. Some women can mask that for years before trapping

Not saying she isn't what you're saying, but the explanations don't mean much.

Lol, these marriage topics are always gold.

Yea I used to think everyone argues until I met her. She does not get mad at me, she will tell me she doesnt like things but she just leaves it at that, she doesnt actually cause conflict. Me I will do things that would normally start an argument but she just says ok what do you want me to do differently honey and thats it, she does what I say. Shes fucking perfect.

Example last week I got home later then normal, she goes where were you. I say I grabbed some drinks with friends and then ended up at a strip club. That would have been a fight with every other girl I have ever been with. At which point I would have not felt like a free man and the relationship would come to an end at some point. All she said was, ok, but next time can you just text me...I was hungry and thought we were gonna eat together. Shes great I tell ya.
