I wish I had a wife and 5+ children.

I don't think I'll ever be able to afford it though

That's even if I could find an acceptable white woman who wants that many kids.

Because there are no wifeable women anymore. The only men getting married are desperate cucks with no self-respect.

Things are fucked up. Ever since I've realized I will never have a family of my own I have stopped caring about having a lot of money or posessions. I am as free as a bird, yet I know i I lack something.

>tfw people often ask me if I've got a gf
>tfw parents say I'll meet someone eventually and marry
>tfw kissless handholdless virgin

How am I supposed to get married if I can't even get a woman to kiss me ffs

I wonder how many people can guess I'm a virgin sometimes. I'm not some fat neckbeard, so at a distance I can probably pass for a normie.

It's financial suicide frankly. The odds are stacked against you.

Good thing I'm a really repulsive person.

Public schooling

Careerism

those are the two main reasons.

Boomers didn't even teach their kids that marriage is important, they just care about school, jobs and wealth.

Not to mention the combination of women being shit, contraception porn (thanks jews). Keep in mind though it's not just beta losers refusing marriage, it's also the "chads". Even successful "alpha" guys are dropping out and having casual sex. Really, the career obsession is the biggest cause.

Meanwhile muslims, Indians Asians Jews etc don't even have to deal with dating, they have arranged marriage which the West sadly abandoned centuries ago. Even the most spergy poo in loo dude has a wife and 3+ kids.

This. We've taught ourselves that Marriage is something you do after you have an established career and stable income.

This was never true historically, and is a modern aberration. And with the state of the current economy, very few people have stable careers and income.

And don't even get me started on having kids. We are literally living idiocracy. The smarter and more "responsible" people are not breeding, while the retards, niggers, and mudslimes are breeding like rabbits.

well, fucking guess why.

>Marxism
>Feminism
>Socialism

they are all seperating males and females. it's fucking SAD.


also, this: Colleges keep women from breeding.

also, you guys should watch the newest Memeux video on socialism.

Don't worry about it. Women will kiss anyone that just goes out and aggressively pursues it. Obviously if there's something really wrong with you then no. But if you're around the average, which most people are, then you just have to go for it.

Take me for instance. I'm a xenophobic, racist, nazi pol browser. But I've done fine.

There's a power shift between the sexes due to increasing demand for "equality" manifested in violence, public indecency, and overall stupidity. Women are making spectacles of themselves and it's putting men off from getting married earlier on. Because the general population of women are turning into psycho cunts.

It's not just socialism. It's consumerism and capitalism too. Both are anti-family in the long run. Two sides of the same shekel. At this point the West has the worst parts of both capitalism and socialism fucking it over

Not to mention technology is another big one. It's no longer the norm to meet people in community social hubs (church, clubs, etc).

The only popular places to meet people of the opposite sex are: school, corporations, internet.

It doesn't help that I'm an ugly autist I guess. I've never been able to dominate conversations, especially with women.

Go and get a good pair of cloths, and get a really nice haircut.

But otherwise yeah, if you can't achieve some kind of higher level of confidence then you're going to be screwed

Honestly, as a socially conservative guy, who wants to get tied down to marriage at a young age? The world is an unmarried man's oyster, but as soon as you tie the knot, all that freedom is gone. Don't you want to see the sights, have adventures, and enjoy yourself? You can't do any of those things with a wife in tow, even less so with children. Sure you should get married and settled down eventually, but late twenties maybe, not twenty.

Sometimes it feels like everyone knows. Sometimes it feels so obvious.....

The culture of upward mobility.

If you get married, you stop progressing in your career, since you can't chase risky opportunities.

Back when a poor guy knew he would always be poor, there was no shame in taking a wife, because there was no perception that he could attain more.

We are all held to the standard of nobility and elites because of the U CAN BE ANYTHING meme.

You're part of the problem. You're talking about things you do in retirement, instead you're slumming around in your 20s.

The result is problems like:
Autism cases rising
Later retirement
Shrinking middle class and full time jobs

The nuclear family built this country and selfish cunts like you are destroying it so you can see how people shit in Africa.

Marriage offers not a single benefit to a man.

Not a single one.

I'd argue it causes more of the opposite.

Men who don't have, or don't think they will ever have a wife are more likely not to pursue their full potential.

Obviously this isn't always true, so don't twist what I say. But if all of a sudden a man has a child to take care of, he's much more likely to find work and work hard. Men, atleast white men, are shamed publicly and privately if they can't adequately provide for their child(ren) and the mother of that child.

This in turn makes them work hard and usually men want to provide for their children, so the shaming is just added pressure.

What this really does is allow the children of the "elite" to have even more access to the higher paying jobs. The average man doesn't try to get them. Because what's the point. And the elites fill the gap. Becoming even more rich.

...

Probably because women don't keep their virginity anymore, so you need to date them for a few years to make sure they are loyal and trustworthy enough to marry, since they obviously have such little self-control

This. I feel it.

This. Another thing feminism poisoned.

Damn guys just lighten up, find a virgin to marry and pump full of your seed

Alimony
