GirlBye 27,959 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 60% of unmarried women don't see marriage as a necessity Sunday, October 04, 2015 nonentertainment No comments Article: 60% of unmarried women "Don't need to get married" Source: Korean Econ via Nate 1. [+1,671, -99] It's not that unmarried women are deliberately not wanting to get married... they're just worried about themselves and their future, why add marriage and babies on top of that? There's no security in employment in our society. Instead of passing on poverty to a future generation, some would rather just enjoy their lives alone. It's actually a fantastic decision especially in a generation that's as selfish as ours~ 2. [+1,423, -209] It's true... marriage isn't a necessity... and you can go out and sleep with people if you need sexual release 3. [+1,326, -140] Marriage is a choice, why are people demanding it!!! Women should not be responsible for the country's marriage and birthrate. Marriage should only happen if you meet someone you love and want to have a child who resembles you together to raise with love and care. 4. [+250, -43] Well when you look at the affair rates of Korean married men.............. 5. [+248, -26] Why would women want to get married when they can make money on their own and live just fine? ã…‹ã…‹ You get married and the only thing you get out of it is being treated like a housemaid when you have to go to the man's family on holidays. 6. [+243, -20] Out of all the married women around me, not one of them tells me to get married ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ it's only the men ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ It's true that men get more satisfaction out of marriage in Korea than women do 7. [+201, -16] I'm a man and I don't think women should get married. If they can provide for themselves, just live on your own freely. Go on dates with young hot men, go on vacation to Europe, live a good life. I've rarely seen a married woman live a happy, free life nowadays. 8.

Kpopiscool_101 3,003 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 After reading many translated articles, it seems that being a wife in SK absolutely sucks. maybe because marriage is not a big thing in Korean the average age to get married there is mid 30's and that's why they expect the population to decrease little by little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

양 지 10,015 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Lol I mean I think marriage is so unecessery. If u love each other then u shouldn't need a paper to prove that for u. Just adds more bounds that no one wants to be shackled in. But I guess I just have a sad mindset lol. If u really want the whole dream wedding then I guess it really makes no difference. Plus some view it as some sort of "official" endgate. Then there are the others who want the govermenf benefits of being married lel ;3 in which case I say, go for it but beware of being unhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinky 15,878 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Bless the comments Thank god my parents never really fuss about marriage with me. Get married only when you want it and ready for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochichan 12,341 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 That seem to be pretty common sentiment these days... Alot of people aren't rushing to get married and have kids compare to decades ago bc they want to focus on jobs or financial reason. Also you can just date and have fun or use sex toys/porns as outlets so you already for sex covered. Personally i don't see myself wanting marriage or have kids either so i get it. Like the world have so many people idk why i need to reproduce more anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil4life 3,270 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 good for them but someone might want to show this report to the government to start paying people to get married and have kids since i hear Korea is gonna have a serious population issue in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I got that XD I was just adding my views on marriage haha. But being in a monogamous, long and committed relationship is quiet hard to have unless u truly love each other. And even then love fades ;3 my aunt is actually going through divorce rn and she's suffering a lot because of the East Asian mindset that we were born into.

Elisa 1,353 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I totally get it. Who has time for marriage when you're stressing about work, education, college loans, etc. It just seems too much off a hassle. Plus in a lot of more traditional families, women are still expected to stay home and take care of the children and house. And even if they do work, they're still expected to do all the house chore/taking care of kids/cooking thing anyway. It takes away so much independence and career advancement opportunities.

Envied 5,831 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yassss independent queens! Obligatory These comments reflect the change in modern society and common to all countries. sad. people do not want to care for others Is this really a bad thing? The idea that you have to be married, have to have children with a dog and a white picket fence is outdated. I think it's nice to see women who would rather enjoy their independence, than jump straight into marriage and putting what they want on hold.

And even then love fades ;3 my aunt is actually going through divorce rn and she's suffering a lot because of the East Asian mindset that we were born into. sorry to hear that about your aunt. hope she is doing better. but regardless of whether or not a couple had chosen to marry, any serious relationship ending is going to be painful. if not married, the breakup could be exponentially worst since it will be a lot more complicated to try and split assets or protect the financial rights of the weaker party (e.g., through alimony). worst still if there are children involved. marriage is ultimately a legal contract governed by laws and registered with the state. it's about legal rights, obligations, and protection of those rights (e.g., remedies that can be taken when those rights are violated), not about love. hence the knetz comments alluded to cheating men. but hey, cheating man is grounds for divorce that also comes with alimony entitlement.
