This explained a lot to me. Thank you.

hmm...No offense, but I really can't tell if you are being patronizing or not.

Oh no, I feel I know you better. Nothing bad. I just see where you're coming from.

How many animals out in the wild are monogamous? It is not in our nature to be shackled down to one person for eternity.

in our relationships (particularly my business partner/best friend who's a female), our biggest and latest concern is people who wanna talk to us for what we can do for them. I'm not gonna be the one working my *#$ off whille some chick eats off me. My barber said some real !%# one day...he said "Women will be with you on a timetable. If you aint on her terms within her timetable, watch how things get."....that was one of the realest things I've heard in my life.

Those are two separate things. There's a difference between a groupie and a girlfriend.

If one shares an apartment/home. Additional to the fact that they are both making substantial income it is far easier to achieve wealth with someone else.
That isn't even taking into account the tax breaks.

Nobody is living longer, just less children dying.

That has nothing to do with marriage though. Atleast not the type I will be in. Asa lama lencom

 

[danikerhino]

Generally: yes. For me, I'm not sure.

ok. We may have MORE people living longer, but the average age hasn't changed. The fatality rate from ages 0-6 have decreased, which in turn causesthe average age to rise. Also people who would've died at say 60 now live to 70. But to say we are living 30-40 years longer is ridiculous.

No, i dont i can put up with a women my whole entire life. I know il cheat and its not right.

 

[milbert]

The sanctity of marriage is something that is truly at a crossroads right now, with divorce rates skyrocketing and more people vying for common law I can seehow many would lose their affectations towards it. People lately, I will agree, have been getting married for all the wrong reasons: to pacify a baby mama (orbaby daddy), for papers, or maybe just from the fear of being alone. Marriage is one of the biggest decisions that a person can make, a lifetime of commitment,which is growing increasingly difficult for today's society to handle. Everything is so accessible and dispensable that divorce has just become anothercommonality, I guess it's safe to say that divorce is the new marriage. Regardless, I believe that marriage is possible if two people are getting marriedfor the right reasons. Being a man's wife will never lose meaning to me, even if it's losing (or already lost) its meaning to the rest of society!

I am such a hopeless romantic!!

This is something I never understood, why don't people take the effort to work things out when they have a child out of wedlock instead of having that typeof relationship. Then she's messing with other dudes and you other women through out the whole process

Yeah, because humans have intelligent levels of wild animals. What are you comparing us to animals for?
Habits of wild nature does not correlate into marriage being deemed frivolous. Nature took its course with humans and monogamy won out.

Damn...Come to think of it, in my little prose I just wrote I developed the line of thinking that evolution takes its course right along with nature andmonogamy is only the latest when it comes to marital norms, in a long line of history where polygamy was once considered the norm. So maybe monogamy won'tsustain?

Screw it...I just got too deep again. Ya'll can sort it out and when the times right I'll decide if marriage is right for me.

I don't think the same goes for everyone. What is vital for me isn't always what is vital for you. Like I said, not everyone is meant tobe married...and this is of no fault to them. It's just the way it is.

 

[eleet1]

Im getting married next month. FTL or FTW? Only time will tell. But the tax benifits and hopefully be getting that govt money

. Especially since its only my income supporting my girl, our daughter, and I.

I peep that. But I just can't stand for peeps to go spread their seed everywhere.

You know how many people I know with deadbeat or non-existent fathers? Itsstaggering. My problem is I've heard that excuse of, "we're not meant to settle down" or "I'm a man and I have needs" time andtime again. It does more harm than good, especially when it falls into the wrong hands.

Unless you're joking.
