There's evidence indicating that more people are single now than ever before, people are freaking out but is it really a bad thing? Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich, and Aida Rodriguez discuss on The Young Turks. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. tytnetwork.com/go
Read more here: theconversation.com/more-peopl...
"Today, the number of single adults in the U.S. - and many other nations around the world - is unprecedented. And the numbers don’t just say people are staying single longer before settling down. More are staying single for life. A 2014 Pew Report estimates that by the time today’s young adults reach the age of 50, about one in four of them will have never married.
The ascendancy of single living has left some in a panic. US News & World Report, for example, cautioned that Americans think the country’s moral values are bad and getting worse, and one of the top reasons for their concern is the large number of people remaining single.
But instead of fretting, maybe we should celebrate.”*

Problem is that people have been marrying for the wrong reasons, only some marry for the right reasons. Marriage is a serious matter and and you need to be completely sure about it for it to work better, and even then relationships take effort, and life gives us enough problems already. Therefore, people need to be careful what they get into, because it is easier to handle when you really love what you do or who your married to.

There no reason for a guy to get married , theres no benefit. At All. The only reason that anyone would is so they don't get ragged on by people who want to use it to demean you. Not to mention women have all the power as soon as you're married. Divorce? Shes got all the money. Victim of spouse abuse ? You're still arrested even if you're the victim. Etc

AgentDearestZ do you have any experience in this arena or do you just believe what you've been told? do you realize people can lie? that was OTHER peoples problems, and it only affects them. they messed up. that is not your fault. your life is your own and you may get different results than they. you can't rely on what other people tell you because they are only thinking about themselves and their own lives - which they are responsible for- and their experiences apply only to them. they are probably angry that they didn't the life they wanted too, but that's on them. that had nothing to do with you. they had no right to manipulate you into limiting your options in life and love. they are making YOU pay the price for THEIR screwups.

I'm 24 and married, and I'm the 'weird' guy who wants to be a dad. The best part of being married, in my opinion, is waking up next to my best friend and finding comfort in the knowledge that I have lifelong support. As was stated in the video, we do learn and experience life together, and our experiences influence the work I do. But, I know the married life is not for everyone, so you do you.

I got out of an 8 year relationship over 2 years ago and recently moved into a new apartment and got a new puppy. It has been awesome to finally be able to decorate for me, raise this puppy my way, and not feel like I'm going to upset someone for sitting on my front stoop and chatting with my neighbors for an hour or so while our dogs play with each other. I haven't even gone on a date for over 2 years because i haven't been able to figure out who i am and what I want out of life as an individual until now, and I am living my life for the first time in a long time. I also know exactly what I want in a partner now, too, so until I find what I'm looking for, I'm ok with being alone because I will never settle again. I think everyone should take the time to really find what they want in a partner instead of jumping into relationship after relationship or feeling stuck with someone who isn't quite right. Yea, I get lonely sometimes, but it's better than being hurt or irritated because I'm constantly butting heads with my significant other.

Single life is great...until you've been single for so long that after the day is over and you have nothing left to do or no one to talk too you feel a deep pit of unhappiness and loneliness that you have to drink and watch movies on Netflix just to mask the depression and sometimes cry yourself to sleep...other than that it's awesome.

I tell you what, 3 years ago I was in a relationship with a girl I loved more than anything, and wanted to spend the rest of my life with, but my self esteem was lower, I was more stressed out all the time, and there was more drama and angst. I no longer felt like myself, and was a weak little shell of my old self. Two years after breaking up and being single, I am as happy and confident as I've been in years. I have my self esteem back, I'm artistic again, I'm hitting the gym all the time, I'm meeting a lot of new women, and I'm outgoing and sure of myself. I am MUCH more social and happy than I was.

I know this probably unusual, me and my wife have been together for 20 years this last month, what made this possible more than any other factor is that we have been best friends throughout. we have suffered through a career that has taken me away from my family for years at a time, but have become more committed to each other despite these difficulties. We have each others back, and set goals to help each other achieve our full potential. I cannot say if marriage was a necessary thing to make this happen, but what I can tell you is that we both feel an enormous amount of pride for committing to each other in such an official way. That however may not be the same for all so to each there own, but it works very well for the both of us.

Married people live longer for a reason. I think our views on marriage are shifting, and I don't think it's a bad thing. I'm really glad I waited, because getting to know myself has given me a better connectedness with my partner. Being single has been great, there comes a time when you elevate to the next level. Glad we're able to elevate on our terms instead of getting married too young.

Since falling in love about 3 years ago. I'm in my 30s if that helps. It's actually really fun in your early 30s to be single! You have a little more money and your body changes. Would definitely encourage girls in their 20s to wait. My 20s were miserable. But yes, love and age changed a lot of things for me. I've known older people who were single for a long time, and it hardens them. At the end of life, your options are slim. It's just your money and no one else's, so what happens when you need to be put in assisted living? People need other people.

Being single is not that great, as a single person I can attest. Many single people do not choose to be single but are single because they just can't find mates or have difficulty in life that hamper their relationships. I'm not saying that I think people should get married or that marriage is better, I'm just saying that it isn't just a simple choice of do I want to get married or not. Also being single isn't a joy ride of freedom, for some it may be depending on different factors but for many it can just be lonely existence of struggle and isolation.

Don't be fooled... many millennials want to get married and have kids, buy a house, but it is impossible for us with super low paying jobs saddled with huge amounts of debt. I've seen so many articles like this, and it seems to be putting this idea into peoples heads so they don't see what they've lost.

If you compare me to my parents who didn't even graduate high school, they had jobs that paid more when they started taking inflation into account, they were able to buy a house, had no debt, and were able to settle down by my age. We can see that productivity has gone up while wages have stagnated... Where did this surplus go?

I don't want to saddle my girlfriend with my debt, I want to be debt free so that she doesn't have to take on the responsibility... I want to be able to afford healthcare for my kids in the future, and be able to send them to school. All these things have been lost... Today more jobs are zero hour contracts, service industry and sales jobs... Those are the types of jobs created in our society. Things need to change.

I love this so much. I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to put pressure on myself to be married by a certain age. Getting married and having a family are things I definitely want, but only if it's with the right person. My parents were in late 30's when they got married, so I was raised to understand that there's no deadline for these things. I think that gave me a pretty healthy view of relationships.

It's because marriage is a joke nowadays. The marriage rate is 1 out of 2. I believe the half that succeeds are elderly couples who got married decades ago back when marriage wasn't taken so lightly. Hell, there's people getting married who've only been dating for a year.

These people don't seem to realize how once you have kids, you have so much less time. Raising kids is a 24 hour a day job. Add onto that a career and possibly taking care of your own parents as they age, and there's not much time for oneself. Of course parents volunteer less, are less social, stay at home more, and do less. You think that's all just by choice? You might too, if you went sleep deprived for 8 straight years. (And yes, I know Brett mentioned this, but for all of 5 seconds out of a 9 minute video...)

@voteforno.6155 7 жыл бұрын

Michael Robertson Yeah, I'm exaggerating. But only a bit. We have multiple kids, and even after 2 years old, there are often reasons they don't sleep the night (illness, night terrors, whatever). It's also about more than sleeping the night. I have a job that requires a lot of work outside the office, and sometimes the only time to do that is late into the night. My point was, it's rare to feel completely rested.

disagree again, if a man is single hes a dog or a sexist, if a woman is single "shes strong and independent" there is a huge double standard these days against men not women - everything men do is sexist when women do or say the exact same thing its no issue at all

@jaimeduncan6167 7 жыл бұрын

Yes and no, both are true, and the accusation for men is that they are children, afraid of commitment. But what they say about women is true too. One of the key tenets of feminism is the total inability to see men in disadvantaged or suffering unless it helps women (by making men seem week etc). If you don't like that part of modern feminism why will you do the same to women ?

Marriage is an economic thing too which I noticed no one really addressed. Now when we think of marriage, we tend to think of the Disney type narrative which is people get married because they love each other and they live happily ever after. In reality, historically speaking, marriage was a means of essentially retaining wealth which means that essentially wealth of both families would be added together in order to have a comfortable life as well as retain class status (ie why royalty would only marry royalty even at the risk of massive inbreeding). The institution of marriage is the same way today as well (Trump's children, Chelsey Clinton, etc) which also a minor factor that contributed to the wealth gap too. As a result of wages, student loan debt and other things, some young people are single, especially in my case of guys I know, are remaining single not because they want to but because they simply cant afford the costs of marriage as well as a family.

The pressure to get married is 1000x more intense in many non-Western countries. Here in Indonesia almost all adults get married. Even homosexuals (to people of the opposite sex) cause of the intense family and social pressure. There are also tons of arranged marriages that are more about business or cultural preservation. An older single person, especially a woman, is considered very odd indeed.

Being married and being single are not the only possiblities. Many people are and will be in a stable decade long relationship, even with children, without getting married, they just do not need the paper. Also, being "single" is typically a product of women feeling like there are not enough men. In reality, there are more men than women in the productive age, and what women actually mean is that their self-imposed and social-media-induced standards are too high to comply with the reality. This together with the pure demography also mean that up to several percent of men will be alone without ever having a choice, you can't really call them "single".
