Those same girls who you find drunk in a bar are the same girls who you meet sober in everyday life.<br /><br />The struggle is far from over if you land a girlfriend. You'll probably get laid more regularly and with less effort than when single but you have all the emotional business to take care of. You will have to endure her mood swings and other type of emotional drama. If you move together, you'll have to deal with all the arguments, compromises and adjustments that living together with someone entail. Marriage and children only raise the stakes to a whole new level. Besides, marriage with children is very expensive for a man. Effectively it is like a 50% pay cut. Your wife is likely to make less money than you while spending more than you and children make none while needing to be fed and bought a new wardrobe every year. Children's hobbies also cost money. The only thing you waste any money on as a single man is bar hopping and alcohol. Those things will be a thing of the past for family men. Marriage means no end for womens' spending ways. On the contrary, as you need a larger home there will be much more space for her to furnish and decorate.<br /><br />In our modern highly mechanised society where nobody's survival depends on family members and with all the risks and costs associated with marriage (risk of divorce, monetary cost etc.), whether marriage makes any sense whatsoever depends on how badly you want children of your own.
