  • living together , from a males perspective is more about protecting ones self. living together forces a woman to tow the line , and act in a appropriate manner. a married woman knows she has the man by the buster browns. she knows she can ruin him financially, especially in children are involved. true love and generosity needs no contact from the government backed shyster lawyers.

  • lol, this vid made a stronger case not to get married. 

  • marriage through divorce is good for lawyers. they profit. mr martin is addressing women. marriage is a no win situation for men.

  • none of it is wqorth it

  • A marriage license gives the government the right to cease and confiscate wages,assets,property,offsprin­g and future income. Cohabitation does not determine status there is no legal are binding contract, which means a male is able to keep assets,property,future income(pension)

  • @1zzzzzzz1 The matriarchy's goals is to make men as vulnerable to exploitation from women by law as possible. One of these areas was marriage, men caught on and adapted to the situation, so men began to cohabit more in their defense. Matriarchy caught on to that and is now making such laws to where they treat you as if you were married over a certain period of time

    Matriarchy is trying to snuff out the little protection we have from exploitation the only defense we have now is no relationships

  • @1zzzzzzz1 True that is a prenuptial agreement you are talking about, but those are not fool proof either. Family Court has the power to toss them aside if they think the agreement was unfair to the woman, even when it was fair to both parties. Another example is if she broke the contract for doing something wrong, and her entitlements became void for example. The court will still give her what was owed even though she broke the contract.

  • @ManSpeakOut This video is such garbage you can write a will or a contract to cover every bit of what he said, except the last part. Big deal.

  • As we speak our government is plotting on how to shut down Cohabitation. Laws in some states of the country will consider you married if you were in a relationship for over a period of time, and after that time has passed the law will treat you as if you were a married couple and will take your assets and income as if you were married.

    So before getting into any serious relationship, consult a lawyer who knows Cohabitation laws in your area.

  • Course there has to be fuel to keep the fire alive and that fuel is the women that exploits the better hand that was given to them in spades. By happily punching out these fake accusations to hurt the man, out of spite and/or to have a lot of extra pocket change to take with them on their next shopping trip.
