Fox News’ “Outnumbered” pits four female panelists against one man and lets the sparks fly, but Monday’s guest panelist Geraldo Rivera still seems to be putting out a fire ignited among the show’s audience. Yahoo News reports:
In a segment on what 20-somethings really want in a marriage, the talk turned to the concept of “beta marriages,” in which the union can be formalized or dissolved after a two-year trial period with no paperwork or hassle, allowing partners to see if they want to continue beyond a short-term commitment.
Rivera, after noting that his current marriage is almost 11 years strong, acknowledged that he has been divorced four times, essentially having had his share of beta marriages himself.
Mentioning his three daughters, he went on to explain that he is against the idea of beta marriages, arguing that while men bring money to a marriage, women bring their youth, and that a woman’s youth is precious.
I stand by that statement and defy anyone to contradict the substance of my remarks Of course women bring other vast assets to relationships

Still, age weighs unequally on the sexes. Time is money ladies, a precious asset. Don't waste yours on a man who gains everything in Beta BS

@GeraldoRivera should know. At least four women wasted their youth being married to him.
