What does this tell you

I recommend the movie, Marriage story it is a real life account of the divorce a movie director undergo.

America has one of the highest rates of divorce in the world.
Considering that 90 percent of divorces are initiated by women, the vast majority of divorces are the woman choosing to leave the man.

Western women are divorce happy, and will divorce their husbands over extremely trivial reasons. The divorce system in America is also extremely biased in women's favor, and many women will divorce their husbands simply to "cash out" (to take all of the man's money and assets).

American women have the worst attitudes in the world.

Pretty much every negative quality you can think of, American women embody it - selfishness, immaturity, narcissism, fake personalities, arrogance, and anger.

What does this tell you

Marriage is business.

D western judicial system isnt fair to their men at all. D female files 4 divorce, d men pays a huge sum. D male files 4 divorce, he still pays a fee. I see no reason why i would have all dz money nd still want to get married. Baby mama all d way it is 4 me.

Thesame movie director still got re-married.That means his experience thought him nothing.This is why I don't have any sympathy for men who experience difficulties in their relationships with women

Heartlessbanker:
that how I want to be with women. A p1mp.

It is very easy.Just view all women as your enemy.Thesame way all women view men

CosmicPhoenix:

Baby mama cannot help you in America, child support will milk you dry.
In America,the law view Animals as the most important, followed by women then kids,men come last.

doest one still pay 4 child support after divorce.

holy hell, america should reform their judicial system. It aint fair.

Divorce is costly when you are the higher earner

CosmicPhoenix:

yes na,most divorce cases usually involve child support I don't think you will pay child support if the child is an adult.

At least u'll spend less in d case of baby mama.

Please can someone fully explain to me how the prenuptial agreement works? I'll still look it up on my own sha but I need all the help I can get.

Let’s look at another definition of slavery.

Slavery is a legal or economic system in which principles of property law are applied to humans allowing them to be classified as property, to be owned, bought and sold accordingly, and they cannot withdraw unilaterally from the arrangement. While a person is enslaved, the owner is entitled to the productivity of the slave’s labor, without any remuneration.

Being forced to pay a woman in order to stay out of jail means men have become property owned by the state, as men are bought by the court system and sold by women into their bondage – and of course men cannot withdraw from the arrangement. A man’s owner, the state, entitles itself as well as his ex to the productivity of the newly minted slave’s labor for 18 years or even for a lifetime in the case of alimony, forcing payments to be made to a totally unaccountable “mother” or ex.

Women have the right to choose, therefore men must be given the right to choose in the interest of equality

I loved the movie. Interesting!

Its because of the divorce that the man has to pay child support because the mother always demand for full custody of the child.

CosmicPhoenix:

Just so you know, there's no female billionaire anywhere in the world that made her fortune from scratch,she probably made her money through one of these means
1.Through Divorce Settlements
2.Through Inheritance
3.Through Family Connections

Exactly

PrinceofAgoAre:
D western judicial system isnt fair to their men at all. D female files 4 divorce, d men pays a huge sum. D male files 4 divorce, he still pays a fee. I see no reason why i would have all dz money nd still want to get married. Baby mama all d way it is 4 me.

That is what led to MGTOW, men are rising up and refusing to marry due to their biased Family laws.

Regex:


Marriage is business.

Marriage as well as relationship has always being a business. She gives top tier men sex for their commitment.

Lemme share a story with you.

binary007:
Today's episode on "Predatory Female".

lol.... The way I guard my used condom ehn... To be sincere I haven't guard a brand new phone that way, I don't trust girls man

The stories about predatory Females in Divorce i pointed out are mostly from the western world.

In Nigeria, we still have privileges as a male in the society and as such those riducolous divorce laws do not yet have effect in Nigeria. However, one needs to be aware of these schemes for our world is changing. We do not know the future laws that may be enforced in Nigeria.
