>Is marriage a good investment?
Yes, if you aren't retarded. Why you would marry someone like the woman in OP pic is bizarre to me. It's not like suddenly overnight she developed that personality. People don't change. Dating is basically vetting whether or not you want to spend your life with someone.

Marrying a good woman was the best financial decision I ever made. We share expenses, but get the benefits of 2 salaries. She'll probably even make more than me in the next few years in her line of work, which is awesome. Together we could retire (if we wanted) significantly sooner than either of us individually ever could.

thats literally it. These vile husks of women are only with the most beta simps in the population because they'll tolerate it.
I dated a married woman for almost 4 years who treated her husband like actual garbage. I didnt put up with that behavior and she knew her place with me, but knowing she had that cuck at home she'd act out of term every now and then. The sex was fantastic with her and he was a shell of a human being. I didnt mind encouraging the cheating bc their relationship was sexless for prob 13+ years and he was beyond broken. I cant imagine existing as a man like that.
I ended that relationship by having her sent to jail for breaking into my apartment and trashing the place because I told her I wasnt going to marry her after she finalized the divorce, then had the audacity to try to get me to drop the charges lmao
Through all that and even knowing she was cheating on him with me, he did nothing. Thats the kind of simps these redditards are

no. marriage was meant for womens fathers to give them away to another man who was trustworthy enough to have many children with her. The woman was meant to raise children and keep a home while the man went out to work to provide a stable income. Women were always meant to be the property of men, prior to the (((feminist movement))). Now that these gender roles have been obliterated there is almost no incentive to get married what so ever. The Holy Bible explicitly states that "A woman shall not have authority over a man"

It's a good investment but not for every type of person. I think it works best for either low IQs who need the mutual help or high IQs who are capable of attaining incredible fairytale marriages. In my marriage I attempt to right curve it by striving to be the most elite version of myself, and autistically applying game theory to all of our interactions (essentially almost always cooperating even when her hormones tell her to argue). It takes skill that most people don't naturally have. If I was even slightly dumber I could have easily navigated myself into an aromantic normie marriage. That's how easy it is to permanently fuck things up, despite me being lucky enough to experience the statistical miracle of finding a 10/10 brilliant virgin who also satisfies my long list of overly specific preferences. It's really all or nothing, or else the lifelong commitment isn't worth it.

It depends on what you want when you say investment. Financial? Emotional? Sexual? Homemaker? Kids? There are many reasons people get married. As much as men bitch about women being gold diggers I’ve seen plenty of men marry HORRIBLE women for financial security and they go on to live miserable lives. Like, just the other day I ran into an old friend. He dumped this pretty girl he had been dating for a few years, who was NUTS about him and got along great with all of us, for this truly awful woman (whose daddy had lots of money) and he married her. We all thought he was insane. She froze all his friends out, of course. A real bitch. He has dead bedroom and plays Magic the Gathering all the time and other online stuff. He has no kids. He’s fat now, bald, just a wreck in general. I’m not sure how that marriage has lasted.

Depends on you and the woman.

Due to the fact that I'm not Zeus and can cut myself an heir from my thigh, I need to invest into a quality relationship in order to have fine kids.
Therefore you need a good job/assets and a decent character. Find another decent character of the opposite sex and voila.

My guess is HE is worried about money and where they live, so he heard what he wanted to hear from his wife. Probably she's worried about how stressed he is about money and where they live and he has no chill about any of it. No real person says "I would love you if we lived in NYC or California." One is a large city with lots of problems, the other is an entire state with multiple climates, let alone cities. It's literally apples and mammals. Not comparable categories.

>I want you to chill out about money
Oh, I would need a salary of 200k to do that, so you only love my money!
>what, no, I want you to relax a bit
Oh, to relax I'd have to live in either NYC or like California, mythical places of legend I could never afford! I knew you only love my money?
>BSOD, walks away upset and confused

A real money obsessed woman would complain that they house is too small, or that all the credit cards are maxed out. She'd have a closet full of bags and clothes she wore once and always be buying more. That man isn't looking at reality and needs to read Sadly, Porn.

See my post two below yours. The book is written in a very rambling fashion but he does hit the same point over and over: people in relationships develop resentment, and then go out of their way to deprive their partner of happiness in some fucked up way of "balancing the scales". Of course they don't talk to each other, so this breeds resentment on both sides, and they don't even break up, they just stay together trying to make each other more miserable so they "win".

>Probably she's worried about how stressed he is about money and where they live and he has no chill about any of it.

How does that translate into having a dead bedroom?

Probably not. A non revokable trust and a prenup can mitigate alot of risk. These guys are on reddit and thus cucks. Stay in shape, keep frame and you'll continue to have sexy times.

You can do the same just living together though. I think for me the main benefits are some tax, but mostly legal rights a partner is granted like power of attorney. But I agree, vet someone hard. They say 2yrs is that honeymoon phase so don't rush it and make sure she is a compliment to your life. Guys too often start thinking with their lower head instead of the top one.

If she makes more than you you’re going down divorce street unless you offer her something very special (much better looking than her, generational wealth, very funny and charming personality)
Women initiate divorce when they make more than men, men just sing whoopdee doo im rich! But the woman knows she could do better and the relationships don’t last.

Women require men to provide for them like they’re children just like men require women to be sweet and nurturing. A man who is a “partner” is not a real husband, from the woman’s perspective, it’s as off putting as a woman who is a cold bitch all the time vs a sweet and positive one. I say this as a woman.

It's a good investment if your wife works and has a similar salary to you. I don't feel bad for paypig husbands who get divorced

what do you mean deprive her of joy, during the 5 years? How is it a perception if she literally didn't initialize?
