Again NOT true. I dunno about Hong Kong, Japan or Korea but at least in China, the wife only gets 1/2 of the assets IF the husband has been infidel and the wife has to catch him red-handed with solid evidence otherwise the wife could get nothing. The way the woman automatically gets child support even if she stole the guy's "goods" and impregnated herself with it and the wife automatically gets 1/2 of the assets no matter in the West is not always fair. Everybody and every case is different and should be adjudicated as such.
Men are looking at the deal they are getting, the risk/rewards, and choosing not to get married. Simple as that. 1 in 4 millennials is likely to never marry, and according to Slate in Japan 61% of men in their 20's and 70% of men in their 30's consider themselves "herbivore men", basically meaning they are shunning marriage and have no intention of marrying. And it isn't because they're all womanizing a-holes who just want to "use women" as you keep insinuating (a bunch of feminist propo), it's because they just aren't interested. Just last week the news was carrying survey results showing that millennials aren't just refusing to get married, fully 1 in 8 is still a virgin at the age of 26, a HUGE increase over their parents, and that was a big survey of 16000 people. In a climate where women initiate 75% of divorces with a divorce rate of over 40%, I don't blame men for not wanting to get married. What rational man would choose to put himself in a situation where there's a 40% chance that he'll lose control over what happens to the fruits of his own labor, especially when the external forces making the decisions about what happens to his wealth are biased against him.
NON-RENEGOTIABLE Prenup!!! You get what you signed for no matter what happens. And get divorced in China or other still male-denominated countries like Saudi Arabia LOL
If you marry someone of equal intelligence/motivation as yourself you don't have to worry about your precious being taken from you by an evil woman because she would have contributed half of what you both accomplished together. Won't help with the cooties though, you still gotta watch out for those.
Your point re China is incorrect but I should have been more specific: a wife cannot just walk away from a marriage, file for divorce and claim 50% unless there is a valid reason such as infidelity or domestic abuse (proof required) However if the guy walks out and the wife sues she can claim 50% and does not have to prove a thing. Most law courts in China will follow the general 50% guideline. The Western countries I think of never automatically allocate child support or the right to keep a child to the divorced/divorcing wife. It depends on who had the closer ties to the child, who signed responsible in the past for spending more time with the child, the mental and physical fitness/ability to raise the child going forward, and a number other factors. I know of a guy whose wife considered separating from him in [fill in name of Asian city] , they have kids. She is Japanese. She planned to move back to Japan but if he had prevented her from taking the kids back to Japan there would not have been much she could have done. The courts would have sided with keeping the kids with him because despite him working full time and her being mostly at home he showed great care for the kids, spent lot of time before and after work with the kids and also spent most of the weekends with the kids. Also the kids had ties with the city as they attended international school there. Things are never black or white.
With all due respect but you are clearly talking about a topic that is over your head and sound like a millennial yourself. A majority of women initiate the divorce proceedings so you surmise its their fault? Poor guys...no fault on their own? How would you know that? You are just making wild assumptions not much more. May I give you some advice while growing up: when a man gets married to a wife each one's fruit of labor is shared/combined. That is how most law courts look at it and it is perfectly valid. If a man does not respect his wife as an equal in the marriage then perhaps as I said already, he should be a sugar daddy, aka hiring a prostitute and not get married. Some guys here have very odd views of marriage,women, and life. Nobody asked you to get married to a bitch or gold digger. And if you can't be satisfied with one wife/woman then for fuxxs sake, don't get married.
I've been respectful while talking to you, and after the first time you were rude I gave you warning across the bow, and this is the second time. So ... if you want to go that route let's go that route. CLEARLY you're uncomfortable with men being strong and powerful in their own right and you can't stand the thought that you won't be validated by women for your white knighting and virtue signalling, and still maintain any level of respect for men who are just being healthy, well adjusted men. I'm sure when you've got your legs crossed at the knee and you're pontificating with your lady friends over the latest new findings about commitment being discussed on "The View" you're quite the charmer and fop and they reward you for lap dog behavior with a few crumbs of reassurance that you aren't, in fact, just a weak simp who does their bidding. I don't mind that you are like that, the world needs people to pander to egos, and if you want to shed a few sympathetic tears and nods of understanding, that doesn't affect me at all, but if you want to sit here and act like that is going to go over among real men on a forum like this, I'm afraid you've got another thing coming. People here are analytical, grown, real men, who aren't ashamed of themselves, their masculinity, and don't feel they need to apologize for having male sex parts. Men here are happy being men, they feel that men's issues and men's desires are important, being half the population, and the real men here don't care about your tender sensibilities on these subjects. You want to hold your woman's purse, that's okay with us, you want a pat on the head every time you say what she and her girlfriends want to hear, that's okay with us too, but don't stand here and act like you speak for any actual men when you go off on these tangents. Like I said, I don't care what you do, you can hold your woman's hand while she lay with another guy so she doesn't have to feel oppressed, that's okay with me, I don't care what you do (I'm not saying that has happened, of course, I'm just saying .. you know, I'd understand if it had, I'm not here to judge) So you want to keep going on this path, or return to having a respectful discussion ? Either way is fine by me, I can do this all day.
I am comfortable being around guys who can respect women and don't seem to look at women as some sort of commodity. You clearly seem to have an issue with women. I hope you will still get around to arrange your attitude towards women while growing up else you are setting yourself up for a lot of trouble. As they say, you can't live with them but you also can't live without them. Sorry that I ignore the rest of your post as it mostly contains drivel and nothing of value worth responding to. P. S. You sound like you could be the perfect candidate to resuscitate the "Trader Magazine". You exhibit all the qualities necessary
