OT: Marital Status
Just ran across this tidbit: “America's young adults aren't rushing to tie the knot, and findings from a new Pew Research Center report suggest that couples are not getting married because 78% of single women want a partner with a "steady job."

Now we all know that the stereotype on StripperWeb is that all TUSCL members are either a) creepy old married guys cheating on the wives, or b) creepy young socially awkward unmarried guys, working sketchy minimum wage jobs and living in their Mom’s basement. But with all the young studs on here making $350k/yr, and renting $4,000/mo apartments, we know the latter stereotype is incorrect.
Still.....there does seem to be a demographic divide among TUSCL members. The more, ahem, mature (age 50+) members seem mostly to be married or divorced (by no fault of their own, of course). The younger guys on here seem to be mostly unmarried (totally by choice, of course).
Thoughts?

1. Proves that women look at marriage primarily from an economic and security standpoint. In other words, all women are basically the same. They view us as walking wallets. Of course all men are the same. We view them as walking tits and pussy. Nothing necessarily wrong, just how things are.
2. If this is true then I'm more attractive to women than ever because I'm steadily employed and have more money than I've ever had in my life. Line up bitches.
The other 22% are strippers
We talked before about how much dances should cost. For women, it is not just a supply and demand thing, or wages versus years of education. Rather, it is what are they giving up to do sex work?
As it is going, more and more women are following the sex work route.
I have read numbers as high as 40% for the number of children born to women who are not married and never had any realistic chance of being married to the child's father.
As I see it, marriage should be outlawed. It violates the 13th and 14th Amendments.
Most of my adult life was lost in a horrible marriage.
My parents had me, just to try and give themselves an adult identity, and to win approval from their own parents. This is wrong!

I do think that a high portion of SC patrons are creepy.

My oath! What do my neighbours think of me if they think that these loser ladies are perfect for me?
I realize we all club for different reasons, but personally for me, its no strippers when im in a relationship.
I've always had the thought of settling down and getting married when I turn 30. I'm four years away from that, we'll see if it happens then.
Unfortunately, most people are not wired that way. Most people are, unfortunately, totally self-centered. And too self-centered to realize it.
So to me, that 78% statistic is excellent news. I honestly feel that the vast majority of people have absolutely no business getting married. For men it's pretty much insane to even consider it. And for women, they've got at least a 50% chance or future heartbreak when they end up getting divorced.
And I think the situation is getting worse. The culture nowadays is promoting self-centered narcissism and self promotion, money grubbing, instant gratification, and cash at all costs. So the average person is becoming less and less proficient at the skills needed for marriage.
Thankfully, there are still people like Slick's parents on this earth, and that's wonderful to hear. And guys like Tommy Lasorda I just found out have been married over 60 years. You don't that without being a very special person.
The reason why most guys go to strip clubs is because they can't get what they need from real women. Plain and simple. So they have to pay. Women, once they've gotten their hooks into their security, let themselves go and don't care for their husbands. Men are often too clueless about how to care for a woman.
There's a 50/50 chance any marriage will end in divorce. Why the fuck would anyone gamble something so important on such shitty odds? Especially men, who take it up the ass in divorce. Doesn't make sense.
You guys who aren't married: Don't even think about it. Unless you really find someone like Slick's Mom. And just make DAMN sure you're as good as Slick's Dad.
And don't say I didn't warn you.
Gotta admit that since women were allowed into the work place after WWII you'd think that making their own money would lessen the need to have a rich man. And quite honestly I've met my fair share of women that have a complete bum waiting for them at home (so I sorta call bullshit on the income thing). And that study could be based on class and racial expectations, if you're white or asian they want you to have a job and be middle class, Blacks and Latinos (I'm in this category) just need not to be drug addicts or criminals and marginally employed. The marriage thing is happening because women, who bitched about equality, are looking to marry a man who is better off than them...go fckn figure.
That and we are as a whole, a lot more immature as a society than we ever been. It's like the fall of the Roman Empire, and any great empire, the struggle to achieve to be great, become great, then start living that life of ease and debauchery, fall.
