I'm happy for the gays, but I'm worried that no-one seems to care about the marriage crisis straight women face.

Gay men can now marry each other, but straight men are refusing to take on that responsibility in record numbers.

I'm not against gay marriage I swear, I just think it's not the total victory everyone else sees it as.

I'd say you're an idiot but I think that's a popular opinion

wut

How does gay marriage affect straight marriage at all?

It's not like gay guys were gonna marry women anyway.

I give this troll remark a 2/10.

Sorry that was unclear. I'm not saying that gay marriage is affecting men not wanting to marry women, I'm just pissed off that no-one is tackling the issue of straight men not marrying.

Who says that it's men that don't want to marry?

I'm a woman and my own mother advised me not to marry.

nayrt

Seriously? And how do you propose we tackle that issue, instead of say, letting straight men marry or not marry as they please because it's none of our business?

Why would anyone of either/any sex or gender or sexuality want to marry someone who didn't want to get married? I mean, I assume you're a troll, but the divorce rate is high enough as is, front-loading with people who see marriage as a trap rather than a joyous blessing is hardly going to help.

........how is this an issue? If you want to get married, get married. If you want to be a lifelong bachelor, go play or abstain or whatever. Live and let live.

It doesn't affect your life unless you fall for someone who just isn't that into you. And even then, you can't force someone to marry you without a buttload of resentment that you probably deserve because you tried to pull an ultimatum on someone while blaming them for their commitment issues instead of, I don't know, considering the possibility that maybe, just maybe the problem is that you're mismatched.

For the record, I'm a woman, and I have no interest in marriage.

Who really gives a shit? If your man won't marry you, get one who will if that's what you truly want.

Besides, this isn't something that's confined to straight men alone. Plenty of people, men, women, gays or straits, have commitment issues. It's not exactly newsworthy by now.

?????

Many women don't want to marry you silly little troll.

Right because what a woman really wants is to marry a gay man who is not and couldn't be sexually attracted to her. You're an idiot.

That's not what the OP is saying, but what they are saying is equally stupid.

This sounds like a troll, because I don't see how one has anything to do with the other.

Gay people can get married.

Straight guys are getting married less often than in the past (although numbers of men and women cohabiting without marriage are on the rise).

Those two facts are unrelated. How do you manage to link them? That is almost as daft as the "but the asexuals" commenter last time.

To everyone calling me a troll: Thank you, you kind kind people. How lovely to know that unpopular opinion thread are so understanding about the unpopular opinions mentioned.

I don't get why you expected everyone to be understanding when you posted an opinion that you admitted was unpopular?

I don't think it's unpopularity of the opinion that's getting you flack, it's the lack of a logical connection. If you'd posted about how horrible it was that people de claw cats and we should try to buy meat/vegetables locally and acted like those two issues were directly connected, you'd also get a lot of people wondering if you were pretending to be clueless.

Personally what made me sure you're a troll was: "the gays."

oh boo hoo, you said an illogical, dumb thing and people are calling you out on it. how cruel!

how do you expect to make straight men get married if they don't want to?

They are not related and I won't address your assertion that they are, but it is interesting that many straight men and women just live together and have babies and either don't get married or get married much later.

My unpopular opinion is that sex is so readily available and less stigmatized now that no one really feels the need to be married anymore. You can have all the intimacy you want without it being legally binding, aside from maybe a rent contract with your landlord.

I think this was just a woefully misworded opinion on the OP's part. What I think the OP was trying to say was, the recent change in law for same-sex marriage makes him/her think about recent trends in non-same-sex marriage, such as the high divorce rate. The two do not affect each other at all in terms of who will marry who - the OP surely must be aware of that.

What I believe the OP is referring to is commitment-phobia, a condition which is not restricted to just one type of sexuality. I'm sure a gay man or woman, much like any straight man or woman, could also be a commitment-phobe. I think less and less people are wanting to get married because of the potential for failure (see the divorce rate) and also because more people are wanting to focus on their careers. If you marry someone who wants children, or if you yourself want children, that can and will have an impact on your/your partner's career, as well as on your lifestyle as a whole. It's a big decision to make for some, regardless of sexuality. This right was denied to same-sex couples until now, though, so of course we're going to see a rush of couples wanting to get married. I'm curious to see how the numbers play out statistically over the next year or so.

PS. Legalized same-sex marriage is definitely a victory and you would be remiss to call it otherwise. Of course there are other issues to tackle (health care issues, poverty, equality between the sexes, workplace harassment, violence against men and women, racism, the list goes on!), but for now we can still celebrate this landmark moment in history!

it is a total victory, and I don't give a shit about your straight "problems"

OH MY GOD WHY WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE POOR STRAIGHT WOMEN WHO CAN'T GET MARRIED BECAUSE STRAIGHT MEN DON'T WANT TO MARRY THEM????????????? *clutches hair and wails*

Yup. The true conservative battle isn't same-sex marriage, it's between people who value marriage and people who don't. Divorce and co-habitation is a far greater threat to marriage than SSM could ever be, even if it were a threat. (Which it's not.)

Seriously, the people fighting for the right to get married are not the problem.
