Smart men don't marry, either

Casting about online for some more discussion on smarts in relationships, I ran across this at dumpyourwifenow.com, 10 reasons smart men don't marry.

The top three:

-Smart Men have figured out how to get sex without committing to marriage.
-Smart men are now enjoying the benefits of having all the amenities a woman can bring to the table without having to sign their life away forever.
-These savvy smart men have wised up to the "woman of today".

Today's society does make it easier for both men and women to find the physical and intellectual gratification without the burden or responsibility/accountability that a relationship needs.

Since the dawn of time, the hunter-seeker in men has tried to find some way to have it all. As it pertains to women, dumpyourwife says, a smart man these days has a way to get some lovin' and whatever else he wants without the commitment of marriage.

Do we really have it all now? Nah. But I wonder, are we headed in that direction? Is a guy now more able to get what he wants from women and relationships more easily than our parents' generation did?

Smart men are misogynists?

Or, rather, as that site puts it, maybe misogynists are smart men.

I disagree with the idea, personally, but I think there's definite trend toward less marriage and more live-in boyfriends/girlfriends.

75 percent of divorces are initiated by women usually for frivolous emotional reasons.
Who wants to loose their income, their property and their rights to any children they might have on the whim of a women's emotions.
