Guys who say you'll never get married.

I didn't have to really. She just sorta stopped caring about that stuff once we fell in love. Real life in the form of an adult relationship, children and work is poison to third wave feminism.

Just a joke. I figured as much.
 
I mean, it's 15 years since I've been in the dating game, but my impression back then was that too many guys were just farting around being hipsters or man babies and unwilling to commit to any one of all the cute girls who liked them because they "needed their space" or were "waiting for their perfect 10 soulmate" and shit like that.

The guys I know who got a steady job and were willing to commit all found a nice girl after a few trials and tribulations in their early 20'ies (myself included). Most of them are still with their partner.

Things might have gotten a little more complex with the rise of hellish dating apps and swiping, hook-up culture, but I suspect that in reality what most women want from a guy is much simpler than most single guys suspect.


I like this!
 
Been there, done that, never again. Im to old to play games, at the upper end of the decent age to have kids, and have enough other hobbies to keep me busy. So why bother with a relationship when Im happy being single?

With times friends will have their family and those friends will move on, making new friends is boring as fuck unless they are hobby/sport related. Plus having a family for the bad times is a good thing, you are more of a force when you have a good family.

But if you bad a making good choices is best to stay single, the wrong woman can ruin your life.
 
All I know is life is not fair, time and experience can change a person depending on how they live their life with you.

Relationship can be fun when you're young or the two of you just got together,

But once a relationship gets longer and the face and body of your wife starts to deform then that will be the problem(includes all the bills to pay)

Till death us part is nothing but a fairytale bullshit.

That's nonsense. My wife and I look different than we did 20yrs ago when we met. Both of us have parts of our bodies we'd prefer looked better but we love each other and find each other attractive.

You must be young because as you get older you find older people more attractive. If you knew this from experience you wouldn't post such a silly statement.
 
In high school I had two best friends. One friend said he’d never have kids. He was the first to have kids and he has 4 kids now.

The other friend said he would never marry. He is now unhappily married.

I said I wouldn’t have kids. I’m happily married, no kids. I guess I’m the only one true to his word.

I don't know what that is. How about just not taking them for granted? Problem solved.

I never thought I would marry because I'm somewhat crazy and it would take a 1 in a billion woman to put up with me. Amazingly, I found her when I was in my mid-forties though, so I slapped a ring on that finger with the quickness. Now it's been 6 years and we're going strong. As for kids, no thanks. Again, crazy person up in here.

So, I think the answer is being open to the idea and not giving up on finding happiness (if you aren't already). Then whatever happens happens and you can just take it in stride.
 
Been with my girlfriend for 20 years.

We fucked a ton of girls together.

We've got two kids, a house, and a dog together; we're livin' a peaceful life of middle-class obscurity.

We get more back in taxes, filing separately, than our friends who "got married for the tax breaks."

If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it.
 
I might consider getting married in my mid-forties, though it isn’t a priority.

I’d only really get married if I wanted children, to be honest.

I need to get a mortgage, to travel, to pay for and do all kinds of things, before I think about giving somebody a wedding.

I grew up with my mother and older brother, the product of a single parent, and my childhood was full of video games and Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Jean Claude Van Damme movies. There was never any real romance in my childhood, so I don’t get the hype around the “big day”.

That and my girlfriend has already been living with me for four years.
 
They end up married.
It's just the musings of young men, no big deal.
 
Better question... why would I?

I've been with the same woman for nearly 15 years. We're not married. Why fix what ain't broke? We've personally got no interest in a wedding, primarily because we believe our relationship is no one else's business. Why do I need approval from the government/religion to deem my relationship more legitimate?

Also, the whole "Till death do us part" bit is played out. A significant amount of marriages end in divorce. People change and grow. Sometimes together, sometimes apart. I don't know what I'm going to be like in 10 years, let alone 20, 30, or 40 years. Why make some arbitrary promise when we really have no idea what the future holds. Me and my partner are together. We love each other. That's it.

Good point. I was with my wife for a decade before marrying.

What was annoying was I'd be constantly harassed and pestered about it. It was annoying as fuck!

I mean, it was practically like we were married, but I guess some people want the security of not being some dude's baby mama.
 
I'm totally down for religious aspect of marriage. I'm completely against the government institution of marriage.

That shit works both ways.
 
I feel bad for those guys. A bunch of guys on this board say they will never have kids or get married or live with a woman.

They talk about how they won’t let a woman take half of their salary from Burger King or red lobster.

They keep on citing divorce statistics.

I think they have just been really badly hurt by women and are afraid to try to love again.

I’ve hurt more women than I dare say. I’ve broken more hearts and I have a kid from a previous relationship that dissolved, my own fault.

And I still have issues deciding on which woman I want to settle down with. I want a wife and family someday, that should be the goal for everyone.

Almost every successful person has a wife and family.

Don’t you know having your own family is the greatest joy in a mans life?

I feel ya bro, but I can understand why some people feel jaded. I'm married myself, but people's perspective are painted by their experiences.

I can imagine someone's wife cheats on them with their best friend, make them pay for a kid that isn't theirs, take half their stuff after a messy divorce and still make you pay alimony... I can see why one would lose faith.
 
This is my wife. We've been together 15 years and have got three kids. She's 35, this pic was taken in late April. Just pick the right woman and commit, guys. You don't even have to get married - having a life partner is great whether she is wearing a ring or not.

Edit: took down the pic. I wasn't trying to brag - people here just sound so bitter sometimes and I just wanted to say that there is hope. But I guess I made a mistake, lol.

Now I'm curious... Lol

Save a hell of a lot on car insurance for starters.
 
If you are in a long term relationship and happy, what benefit is there to being married?
 
Been with my girlfriend for 20 years.

Damn! How do you not get pestered every 5 minutes about "so when are you gonna get married?!" Like I did?


She's bi and a cuckquean?! You hit the jackpot!
 
What's the point in getting married. I've been living with mine for over 8 year's life is fine
