The collapse of marriage rates reflects a systemic shift where digital atomization and economic pressures have rendered traditional social contracts increasingly obsolete. It is a sobering reminder that hyper-individualism is rapidly dismantling the fundamental architecture of human connection.

It's not looking good..Added:
So look at this right here. The Americans married by age 30. So in 1975, 91% of women were married. 91% were married in 90 1975. Now it's 25%. So you've had more than a 50% drop in. Like this is I mean this this is crazy.
That's insane. If you look at this much of a drop off, this much of a falloff.
Oh my [ __ ] god. So anyway, look at men are at 81%. So men are always going to be lower for obvious reasons, but you look at right here, uh, 37% and then at 2025, 16% of men are married now. Only 16% by age 30. That is [ __ ] crazy. So, uh, is it religious intermingling? So, why is this happening? I mean, I I think that there's a lot of reasons why it happens. um like what caused this? So, let let's see what people are saying.
And my great-grandfather, seven kids. My grandfather, four kids. My father, two kids. Me, a cat. My cat is now neutered.
Oh, no.
It's the end, right? So, uh why did this happen? I mean, I I think like I mean, everybody has a different reason for like not getting married. Uh, I think that nowadays one of the big reasons why it's so low cuz you look at like look at how fast it went down. You have it go from like 77 to like I guess 50. Well, I guess actually it's about the same drop.
Uh, but um either way um you you have it drop so much. I think right now it's because of technology. I think that's a big reason. I think also like culturally it's harder to spend money. like, you know, you go out on a date and this is like probably like I saw something that said a millennial date is like 200 and something uh dollars in order to go out, right? And so anyway, 1970 says an awful economy, bro. Yeah, maybe that's it. I don't know. Lots of people are Commonwealth, which is like being married. Yeah, but it's it that's not being married, right? It's obviously not. I'm engaged in my 30s. Women are absolute trash and it took forever to find one. Reagan, no fault divorce. I mean, I do think that allowing people to get easy divorces, I mean, like, do we want to go back to the days where the way to get a divorce is to kill your spouse, right? I mean, cuz that's what they used to do. And like that was like kind of, you know, like the get out of jail. Well, I mean, ironically, get out of jail free card is like how do you how do you get out of a marriage that you don't like? Well, you kill your spouse, right? That's the solution. And so, uh, sounds good. Yes, definitely. Uh, but anyway, uh, I I I don't really know. I I do think that like divorce being super easy to do and marriage and everything.
I think that overall like right now there is a lot of people on the internet that and I think that the internet kind of uh like it it elevates this more than it actually is that people on the internet like there's a lot of gender wars and like men versus women. Women are bad, men are bad, right? I mean like women are horrors, men are rapists, like everything, right? And so you have these these things going on, but the reality is that if you go outside and you like I mean I can only speak for myself. I can only speak for like you know what my opinions are and my friends are every single guy that I know is married basically. Uh either some of them are divorced, okay, to be fair. Um but they have all been married except for like I'm not even kidding you like one person.
Like if I really have to think about this like same. Yeah. And so like because I grew up like I mean I grew up in a time where you know half of my friends were online half weren't. And just overall statistics should be by the age 35 by nowadays. Yeah I would say so you well no be I mean besides me right besides me like my friend Eric is my friend Eric isn't married. He's just been engaged to the same girl that he's been dating for 12 years. Okay. So I don't know what that means. I I I I don't I don't know what he's doing. I have no idea. Why don't you marry her? I I look guys, who the [ __ ] knows? But yeah, that's the one that I'm counting that isn't married. Okay, he's smart. If No, no, you're not smart. Like, if it doesn't matter. It's not it. Uh they're both doing very well. Don't let his girl see this. Uh-huh. Yeah. Right. And uh he's just leasing. Yeah, it's a pretty long lease. And uh that's like a rent to own type thing, right? And so doesn't want to commit. Maybe. I I I really have no idea. He's got tons of money now, too. He's like, uh he works in it. And so he's doing very well financially. And so anyway, um so he he uh he's the only person I know that isn't married.
Everybody else that I know has either been married or uh ended up, you know, like or still is married, right? So I find it to be kind of odd that like the numbers are so low. I really do. That's an insane uh 16%. Which is weird to me because as I said, everybody that I know is basically married. But to be fair, I mean I'm 35, right? So my friends have been usually about 30 for like 5 years.
How many of them were married by 30? I would say like 60%, 70%, something like that. So maybe I just have like a unique sample size, but that's about it. Are they Catholics? Uh no. I I think that like you have a pretty big like I would say that it's generally between uh Christian, Catholic, and atheist or agnostic. Like that would be pretty much the majority. Yeah, I'd say so.
Definitely. maybe a couple of uh you know friends that I have that are Muslim but they're also married too. So yeah, you can correlate it to online only socialization. Well, I I was going to say that but I don't think that you're right because look at these number disparities. 1985 2005 everybody wasn't online. Like 2005 most people still didn't have the internet in their home.
Let me just look this up and make sure that my general statement is true. In 2005, what percentage of households had the internet? I'm gonna say 30 to 40%.
Probably closer to 30%.
Wow. Internet access. Oh, this is Oh, internet access is very different, right? Households. Is this internet access? Lived in a household. Oh, with internet access. Okay. Okay. So, no.
Wow. I I guess I I underestimated. I I traumatically did. And so, I guess we we lived in working-class neighborhoods, so people couldn't afford the internet, right? So, uh you know, a little bit off on that one. So, that's why I looked.
And um anyway, it was on dialup though.
And so, anyway, uh the reason why I think is like 2005 you didn't have a lot of dating websites, right? Like I mean I remember like there was this this really big like love movie and it was called You've Got Mail and it was like about two people that were emailing each other back and forth and I fell in love and this was like a crazy like this story was like her for like 200 like three or something like that where it's like okay well now that's normalized whereas like people were like well we Phoenix falls in love with a [ __ ] robot there's no way that's going to happen right there's no way that people are just going to start dating a robot. What's up, SF?
And so, yeah. And so, I I think that's really the difference, right? Three month. Yeah. 3 weeks AOL. Do you guys remember in Blockbuster where you would get the AOL CDs? I remember I was in middle school and we would take the CDs and you would go to Blockbuster. It was the pipeline, right? And so, this is the uh this is the pipeline, right?
Okay. Uh, so you have right here. Let me see if I can find it. Am I the only one Blockbuster home?
Uh, what is this here?
Yeah. I mean, is this Am I the only one, guys?
Surely I'm not the only guy, right? I mean, come on. It made cool colors.
Yeah. I mean, what do you mean? So, school the prison. Yeah. And then you go to jail, right? Exactly. And uh forgot frisbes. Yeah. I don't even know if we did that. And uh Netscape CDs as well.
Well, anyway, so you know, I think that a lot of people stopped getting married because number one, I think that there was a lot of like kind of narratives about like marriage, like somebody gets like my dad would tell me about, you know, how annoying it was that, you know, my dad had like he had to give over like, you know, this is in like the 1990s, like hundreds of thousands of dollars to like my mom uh whenever he got divorced because like my dad made a lot of he made a lot of money. And so he's like, "Can you imagine, you know, having all your money cut in half just to give it to to Shell, which is my mom, for her to sit on her [ __ ] ass and smoke cigarettes and play video games and do [ __ ] nothing."
Meanwhile, I bust my ass going to work every day, right? The man always loses.
Exactly. And so anyway, that's what it was. And so netzero, too. And and then she wasted all the money, by the way.
She wasted all of the money on like [ __ ] uh you know [ __ ] candy. Like she she didn't get a job for like basically she went from basically living off like being married to my dad, living off of my dad. Well, first she lived as an adult with with with her dad, my grandfather, grandpy. She was living with grandpy. And and then finally my dad then picks her up and takes her to his house and then she's living in his house. And then they get divorced, then she's living on his money. Then after that, after that runs out, then she's living on the government's money. And then after the government money runs out, then she's living on my money. That was it.
That was the whole That's the entire thing.
That was the whole time. Classic women.
Exactly. What a life. And uh yeah, where's the dowy? I wonder. And uh yeah, honestly, like my uh my grandpa was actually very I my Oh jeez. Like I I don't even know if I want to say that.
Never mind. Uh because I know some of my other extended family might hear this.
But um anyway, uh what is this here? You see Trump is suspending federal gas taxes. No, I didn't see that. Uh, is it another way to like make gas prices go down? Yeah, I mean that's obviously a good thing for sure. And uh, say it.
Okay. Well, some of the different older people uh, like you know, [ __ ] my my great aunt liked my dad more than my mom, even though my mom was their family. They did. They overwhelmingly liked my dad more. And so that's really what it was cuz they they were mad because my mom wouldn't [ __ ] do it. She wouldn't get a job. She wouldn't do [ __ ] All she wanted to do is sit around and do art and write poetry and smoke weed and play video games. And like at the time she didn't have video games. So it was just smoking weed and doing poetry. Video games came in and it was like holy [ __ ] Where have you been all my life?
And so that was it, man. And uh mama was a DJ and she was. And uh anyway, we have that in my family. My brother's the black sheep in my family. Yeah, definitely. And um anyway, so yeah, I I so I I do think that definitely there's like a a um generational trauma with like people that don't want to get married because their parents got divorced and then their parents had like a messy divorce or a problematic divorce and it caused them to think like, okay, well, you know, I don't want to get married because I know how it turned out with my parents and like I don't want to have that happen to me. I'll be honest, like that that thought has crossed my mind many times, especially when I was younger. Uh like I was thinking to myself like my parents are married for like 20 years or something like that and then they got divorced. It's like can you imagine having to deal with that? You're you're locked in for 20 years and then things change. Holy [ __ ] man. That would be so upsetting. That would be awful. So, I think that's another big reason why there's less marriages. And I think that you obviously have like all the normal reasons like men all men are [ __ ] boys.
All women are only fans girls. All women do is eat hot chip and lie. You know, all men do is play video games and lie.
Like I I do think that like internet gender dynamics have made it worse. But like from 1985 to 2005, it was the same drop off than from 2005 to 2025. Just look at the numbers here. Actually, it was a bigger drop off from 85 to 2005.
So really, um, I don't really think it's that it's not that big of a thing, right? And, uh, prom also porn. Yeah, I think having having online porn helps a lot, right? You don't need to, uh, think about real women whenever you can just, uh, you know, jerk off to fake ones.
Definitely. So, hot chip and lie is accurate, though. I know. We all, everybody, we all, we know, we know, everybody knows. And so, uh, gold diggers. I don't think that a lot of women I I feel like this is something that a lot of guys I think have like an unrealistic like fear of that women want to date men just for the money. I think that a lot of women want to date men that are financially secure. Now, why is that? It's because that their great times, you know, to the power of infinity, uh, ancestor, uh, you know, the the cavewoman decided to mate with the guy that was able to actually catch the deer. And the guy that was able to catch the deer had enough meat to feed the family so their kids didn't die. And those kids are your great ancestors. So, I think that there's a lot of like evolutionary selection process that yes, women are obviously going to and and also like by the way, if you're a woman and you get pregnant, you are like massively debuffed. Like having being pregnant is like a crazy debuff. And it's not just cuz they go crazy every once in a while. They do that anyway.
Well, I guess they they pregnant they do it more, right? That's what I hear at least. And so, no, I I think the real reason, here's the real reason, is that like, if you're a woman and you get pregnant, like, how the [ __ ] are you going to take care of yourself? Imagine being a single woman with, you know, having to go to a job all the time and you're trying to carry a child. It's horrible. So, obviously, I think that women are going to want to be taken care of and have a man provide for him. I think that makes sense. It does. So, my wife's writing right now, yeah, exactly.
Then the postpartum. Yeah. And so, you become handicapped. It is. It's a huge handicap. Being a dad is a debuff, too.
Being a dad is a debuff, but it's the same debuff as being a mom. Whereas being pregnant is a debuff that men I know. I know this is this isn't very woke of me to say this. It's not woke, but men can't get pregnant.
OH, WHAT? NO. NO WAY. YEP, that's right.
Men can't get pregnant. That Yeah, I know. I know, guys. You can't do it. And uh it's [ __ ] awesome. Reported. Yes, it's nuts. So I feel like wrong. We can soon. No, that's whenever you get a uh like a robot womb or like a you know electronic or something like that. And so uh anyway, not with that attitude.
Well, I mean if you want to keep trying, be my guest. And so just don't tell me about it. So yeah, I I think that's also another reason. And so, yeah, of course it makes sense that like women are going to want to have a man that's financially stable, but I think that if a guy is financially stable and he's able to take care of himself, I do think that like there's a huge drop off. Like if you're making like let's say, you know, 100k a year, which is like, by the way, that's not even a crazy amount of money anymore. Like, let's say you're making that amount of money, the odds are that like 90% of women aren't going to break up with you to date a guy that's like richer than you are for that one reason.
I just don't think that. And like that's just again this is my experience from what I've seen, from what I've experienced, from what I've heard, right? So, not everybody's going to agree with it. I understand that. But that's what I've noticed all this time.
And how much is stable? Well, it depends on where you live, right? I mean, if you live in Arkansas, it's probably [ __ ] $60,000 a year. If you're living in San Francisco, it's $260,000 a year, right?
I mean, it depends. But like I would say general for whatever the uh reasonable amount of money to take care of a you know a family would be there right so that's it uh titles are uh are different being a mom and dad are different it's growing life comparable being sick maybe I don't know and uh yeah even when a man's financially stable the women will still cheat I mean women I mean men cheat too all the time I mean it's not even like look I I know that we want to talk about how women are useless and I did make a tweet yesterday this is a big tweet for me Okay.
I said, "So, do you remember whenever I was talking about this the other day?"
And nobody else was saying it. I was the only person saying this and I said that I thought that AI was going to remove overwhelmingly women's jobs. Then three or four days later, everybody's talking about it. That's it. A little out of touch to that comment, right? Too many fake jobs were invented to create artificial parody between men and women in the workforce. AI fixes this problem.
Hopefully, after this is over, women can go back to doing what they do best, being a mother or being a prostitute.
And so, I obviously I'll make posts like this, right? And by the way, I I do want to say that, you know, 5,000 years ago, I know what the most popular profession for a woman was.
And today I also know what the most popular and most well-paying profession for a woman is if they're young, right?
And so that's crazy. What are the odds of that? And for a man it's changed. For women it hasn't. So, uh, that's it. Line of last part. Yeah. Yeah. Last part. How many people did you piss off? I don't know. I'm not I'm not reading their comments. I I I just make these posts.
Maybe I'll see like one reply. Other than that, I don't really pay attention to it or look into it at all. US rejects UN. immigration forum accusing it of promoting replacement immigration. Yeah, that's they should. Absolutely. 100 fucking% they should. Good.
You want even devaluing women by saying this? No, I'm not. I'm saying that, you know, again, and there's nothing there's nothing in my opinion, nothing sexist about what I said. Uh it's just an objective fact. If you're a male prostitute versus a female prostitute, which one has more attention? Which one do people want more? Well, I wonder how many girls on Only Fans are there versus how many guys on Only Fans are there?
Well, uh, every every woman is a every mother is a woman, right? I mean, like, there you go. So, obviously women can do that better. They're the only ones that can do it. So, it just it just makes sense, right? It does. It just makes sense. But, uh, you know, again, the way that I say things, it's always I will always choose the red combat dialogue option whenever I discuss these things.
And I think it's funny, right? The battle of the sexes will end the field of infertility. Well, I think that's already happened.
