The anti-marriage crew is often comprised of wimps, whiners, and persons who can't commit to anything long term.

Now if that doesn't apply to you, then fine. If it does, then feel free to be insulted.

Seriously though, there is much to be said about choosing correctly when it comes to a wife. Just because one guy makes the mistake of choosing incorrectly doesn't mean that marriage on the whole is doomed.

Also, anyone who believes that the only way to control a woman is to make her feel that she can be replaced at will has got a lot to learn about the female gender. A man who is straightforward about what he wants from a woman, without deception in any shape or form and who can maintain a sense of honor regarding his commitment to her should not have very many problems, unless he is deficient in some area.

Yes, women do have their own way of thinking, but obviously there are a few "men" in this thread who haven't figured out how easy it is to be a man and stop any negative behavioral traits before they become a habit. People in general tend to push others to see exactly what they can get away with. This includes women. Deal with it or stop playing the game, but don't whine about it.

Quite frankly, even if the shit breaks down for some unforeseen reason, then what's the big deal? Are we men or mice? Too many "men" take shit personally nowadays, when we used to just shrug things off and trudge on in decades past.

And yes, I'm married. Didn't do so until I was 32 and was damn sure that it had a good chance of succeeding. Even so, nothing in life is certain, but I've prepared as best I can, just in case.

if you dont want kids i dont see any point in getting married.. really..

Get a pre-nup...

Problem solved...

Fyi i heard that exact same pitch from military and trucking company recruiters who wanted my life, time, and all that it was worth for their own greedy exploitative purposes

How old are you?
How old were you when you got married?

yeah i read somewhere that divorce rate is higher for people who get married at younger ages

Have you been watching Oprah...lol :1orglaugh

Oh and it's easy to take things a little seriously when your wife can get you kicked out your house on a whim.. and you end up paying her for the rest of your days... lol

Yeah.. I guess we should all accept our new female overlords and get on with it.

couldn't agree more!

Oh sure, here you go bringing in logic and rational thinking to a mindless thread. :upsidedow

Went back and read your entire post. Entirely irrelevant to this discussion. If both parties were 32 instead of 22 it would be an entirely different story. :2 cents:

I think it's probably a different situation if the couple has already been together for several years and/or has been living together. The problem I find isn't so much people getting married too young, it's people getting married when they haven't been together long enough to really know eachother's values, goals, expectations, habits, etc. I'm willing to be if you were to examine the number of divorces from the last year, a good percentage of them would most likely be attributed to getting married too soon, rather then a matter of age.

It is very often nowadays!

1. you dont know a woman until she 'lawyer ups' and bites the hand that has been feeding her for years.

2. you dont know anything about the elasticity of any relationship until the shit has hit the fan several times over. once finances crash, kids are sick, cars are in trees, shes fucking the town/state, and you're at the end of your rope then you can make a realistic assessment of the situation. but if you're in that deep you're too late

I don't regret one bit that I got married.
I also don't regret one bit that I got divorced.
I also don't regret one bit that we had a prenup.

I feel sorry for people that's afraid of living life based on mistakes others make, if you don't fail you won't have success neither.

I am happy with one girl since 5 years now but I am not married yet :glugglug

:1orglaugh Well played, ya pimp!

Who gives a fuck? By then you'll be in your mid-40s and the best years of your life would have been spent doing not much more than raising kids and working. I'd rather not raise kids til I'm older and less inclined to go carousing. And not lose my best carousing years to diaper duty!

Agree 100%. I'm 37 and I want 20 year olds. Except fuck 40; I'd rather wait til I'm 45 and get a 25 year old.

By the time I start to fall apart at 70, she'll already be 50 by then and no one will wanna fuck her, so she can just take care of my old ass.

isnt it even greater now, like 65%???

LOL, nice idea but I'm nobody's hero. Especially for guys who can't save themselves.:2 cents:

Well I hope the guy has a really good time because he will be getting a shotgun blast in his face :)

That's just totally, totally well said.:pimp

I have to get married. It's the only way my Russian bride can stay here.

She reminds me of Claudia Schiffer in this pic.

Got married when I was 24 years old. My wife was 21. Been happily married for nearly a decade now and still going strong. In my opinion, the trick is to wait at least 5 years to have kids, which you should do anyways, because there is no point in fucking up your offspring through a divorce in case the marriage doesn't work.

Oh yeah, and CHEAT.

haha, jk about that last part.

Got married in early 90's when I was 18 (my wife is even younger) and never regretted about it. Only gays and complete losers are crying about early/later marriage.

Friends don't let friends marry young. Unless of course, the girl is young and he's an old stinker.

So-called "Russian brides" (the "girls" looking for a husband on the Internet) are regular prostitutes (street whores). Congrats on that :thumbsup

Doesn't it suck to only have been with 1 (or 2) women in your whole life though?

Is it somehow related to your marital status? if you want to be with one women only you will be with her in any case (married or not), if you don't - you will fuck every hole. Everything else is just an excuse.

Huh? I just mean a lot of guys who get married young later regret not playing the field before settling down.
