What's the incentive for a man to get Married in California? I can't think of one.
Why should a man get married in California?
He's just jeopardizing all of his assets for no reason really, and he's paying a huge unneeded expense for a wedding ceremony and a round shiny circle with a stone in it..
Let's leave religious reasons out of this, since no one had been able to prove the existence of god for the last three thousand years.

You can thank our divorce lawyers for effectively destroying the institution of marriage. They are the ones who profit on divorce the most... Although, I know plenty of idiots who get divorced and then.... GET RE-MARRIED! AND AGAIN, WITHOUT PRE-NUP!!!! Hey, if you fell for it once and did the same thing again, you deserve to get whatever is coming your way.

allow me to contradict myself for a second too...
I don't know what your situation is - but if you have doubts for serious reasons - e.g. fidelity, stability, personality, interests, compatibility, etc - those are all valid reasons to give your relationship some time. If she's forcing the issue of getting married and you're not into it because you have cold feet - that's a different story. It's natural to be concerned but you also have to ask yourself a question - am I happy with this person? would I want to see us getting old together? do I want to have children with this woman? can I see myself getting through good and bad times together? can we have fun? Is she interesting to be around? are physically compatible (e.g. in a bedroom)? is she the kind of person I can see myself coming home to for the rest of our lives? will I be happy to see her when she's not that young and out of shape/stretch marks/etc? If I'm stuck with her on a deserted island for 30 days or longer - will we kill each other?
those are just some questions to ponder. attraction, infatuation, even passion passes. friendship and interest and common values/goals remain. if she makes you a better person, helps, understands, fun and interesting - you should perhaps not dismiss it all together. believe it or not, as you get older - you don't get hotter either and as the old saying goes "to be hittin' 20 year olds in your 40's, you had to be hittin 40 year olds in your 20's". If you're not the type - don't think your chances to be a playa all your life will improve. At some point you'll look at your life and say - this single thing ain't all it's cracked up to be. good woman is hard to find.
I had a girl that was above all else my best friend and intellectually stimulating person to be with and I let her go - regretted it ever since.
just something to chew on...

That was fast. Sure you don't want to wait for at least one hapless guy to attempt to defend marriage?
hehe, can I reopen it ?
You can ask the moderators to re-open it using the "request attention" button in the question above.

I wish they would outlaw marriage for Straight people like they do for gays in some states..
Then I could just say
"I'd love to marry you baby, but it's illegal in this state"
