Derp..."live for one". Break apart families/communities and bonds with others. Quoting: ItsPatSad you may never have the loving relationship some do experience, really. But hey, to each his own. The NWO has conditioned women through all the crap on TV to be materialistic and straight-up dumb. There are a few and I mean only a few good women in our generation. The rest are gold digging, instant gratitude sluts. Why marry one of these? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1159998 United States05/27/2011 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was 29, I married a hot little 21 year old and have not looked back. No dull routine, the Wife does not work, we have children. Having many woman in your life just leads to trouble. Carefull what you wish for since the things you lust for usually end up ruining your life. I guess I am very Lucky. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1372469 United States05/27/2011 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Marriage is wonderful, when it's good. When it goes sour, look out! For a guy it's sheer hell. People change and no one stays in love forever with the same person. If you're VERY LUCKY the lust and romance of the early years is replaced by a deep abiding friendship and genuine fondness for each other. But that's rare. Something to strive toward, but not easy to achieve. There is NOTHING wrong with you. You've made choices that were your own, and not those of our peer group. Unless you're so in love you cannot imagine life without the person you love, do NOT event think about marriage.Even if you decide to have kids - there are plenty of women who would welcome a partner in child-rearing without being married to him. So that's an option when you're ready to procreate (if you ever are.) The whole nature of male/female relationships has changed. Because pregnancy and childbirth are now things we can control and delay or prevent as we choose. No one other than complete idiots get pregnant now without wanting to do so. Because of that, getting married is no longer necessary to have a family and having a family today is also optional. Choosing to not have kids is an equally valid choice. Although a lonely one in your later years I would imagine. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1136686 Canada05/27/2011 09:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 38 years old here. Single, never married, no kids, $75K job, high-yield investments slowly building up a nice secondary income stream. I never wanted kids, and marriage is a sucker's bet for man in that case. I'd have it made if not for this damned social anxiety disorder with avoidance as a primary coping mechanism. I just passed four years of mostly involuntary celibacy and this is not my longest dry spell either. I might just start seeing escorts twice a month and give up on trying to meet civilian women. |

Otherwise, people might start thinking you're a homosexual. Quoting: Guns n' God (redux)I hope! I'll get more chicks like that Uh...maybe to shop with. You've never actually talked to a female before, have you, sir? |

Not when I'm 66, single and not as aged as some poor bastard that has been run ragged trying to keep up with the needs of his materialistic family members. When I'm sitting at a cabana on the beach ordering another round, while surrounding by lots of eye candy, my only question will be, "What the fuck are she and I going to do tonight?" |

I've spent a lot of time with bedridden seniors, and heard many sad stories of men (and women, though mostly men) who refused to settle down...and paid the price. Eighty-five years old, totally single for 20 years, no kids, basically no family, and few friends. It is SO sad. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1403749 Canada05/27/2011 09:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To each their own but I love being married.I love falling asleep/waking up to my best friend every single day.I love being taken care of & I love taking care of him.There's just something really amazing that one can only feel from being married.Plus it's really great to have someone tell you they love you.You don't get love by sleeping around.I can only imagine how lonely it must get at times. As for children...I have 2.Absolutely the best thing I've ever done in my entire life.Waking up & seeing their faces light up when they see me,hearing their little laughs & getting those slobbery wet kisses.That to me is everything. I really do wish you the best with your staying single/childless.I hope you won't wake up one day and regret anything.Sure takes a very strong person to go through with that. |
