If you are not married by 24 years old, the statistical odds are that you never will be

yay

I'm fine with that. In the words of Tyler Durden, "Is another women really the answer"?

It has been asked as to what kind of person gets married.

The answer is the utterly conventional.

You have to be utterly conventional to be married from 20-24. You need to be 'middle' everything.

You need to 'join' everything. You need to be in 'group'. You need to have an utterly conventional family. You need to have utterly conventional goals. You need to have an utterly conventional university major that will land you an utterly conventional job making an utterly conventional salary so that you can drive and utterly conventional car back to an utterly conventional home where you can raise utterly conventional children in a middle class utterly conventional neighborhood with your utterly conventional wife.

You need to have an utterly conventional IQ, go to utterly conventional social gatherings, watch utterly conventional movies, listen to utterly conventional music, dress in utterly conventional clothing, and have utterly conventional conversations at utterly conventional restaurants.

In short, if you are anything but utterly conventional, you aren't going to fit into the category of people who marry from 20-24. At least not in the United States.

The age old question is 'what does a woman want'.

After years and years of researching the question, I can tell you exactly what a woman wants.

Does a woman want a big penis? No.

Does a woman want a bad boy? No.

Does a woman want a pioneer and trailblazer? No.

Does a woman want bags of money? No.

So what does a woman want?

A woman wants security, normality, conventionality, and frivolity.

Be secure, middle class, conventional, normal to the point of boredom, shallow, flaky, superficial, paper doll cut out of a fashion magazine, and you can have any woman you want by 24.

It actually is that simple. Because there is nothing that is more attractive to a woman than status quo, conventional apparent security, including love.

A woman will fall in love with her own baby. What she wants from you is a steady paycheck.

lame, it's about what I want.
I want no tattoo's, and nice ass, right winger, and loyalty too.
how hard is that?
in this liberal waste land very hard.

Many of you may have studied the craft of the pickup artist.

You're wasting your time.

Be as conventional and status quo as I have described, and you can pickup any woman.

To a woman the clothes, the car, and the house make the man.

If a woman does not see these outer tokens, then she does not and cannot see you as a provider for her children that are coming.

You are a means to an end in this contract, and that end is a baby. The more conventional, socially acceptable, normal, status quo, and go-along-to-get-along you are, the better chances she believes you will have at providing a stable living environment for her progeny.

There is no such thing as survival of the fittest. There is only survival of the average and conventional.

Think about every married couple you have ever known, and then tell me they weren't utterly conventional down to the Martha Stewart holiday cookbook.

AHEM! "bullshit statistics" AHEM!...

Most people now don't even marry until 25 or so...

I've given you the facts of life.

What you do with them is your choice.

But if all else fails, and it surely will...be freakishly conventional.

OP's girlfriend dumped him today for a Chad.

Sorry bro, there's bigger fish in the sea :)

This rings true.

Go on......

I Know Right!

One more thing that is very important...never ask a woman what she wants.

A woman doesn't know what she wants.

She wants what all her other girl friends want who don't know what they want either.

So just never ask a woman what she wants.

Tell her what she wants, treat her like the programmed conventional robot she is, take her to a conventional movie, buy her a conventional dinner, give her a conventional rose and some cheap bric-a-brac for her apartment and she'll marry.

She WILL do marry you because I've seen it happen over and over and over again with this formula.

Stop telling us about the conventional. It's obvious you know what you're talking about.

Tell us more about the unconventional....

Well looks like ill never be married. Whats to do....

Is that really supposed to be a bad thing? lol

No, I've told people about the unconventional for years and they all despise me.

Abalard and Heloise don't exist. The Spotless Sun of the Eternal Mind is only for starcrossed, short lived lovers like Abalard and Heloise. Abalard was banished by Rome and Heloise went stark raving mad in a convent.

That's what happens when the unconventional meets the conventional.

You want to be happily married for the rest of your life? Be conventional.

True love and happiness is a middle class house with two Hondas in the drive way and mindless, inane sports on the weekend. You'll also need an utterly conventional hobby, like golf, or something so you can network for business deals and be a good conventional social mixer.

I beat the odds. I got married at 40 to a 27 year old Mexican beauty. It's been 10 years and I have 1 and 1/2 year old twin boys. Life is good.

I like you. Tell me more.

You were successful mainly due to the fact that you stepped outside of your social environment and joined with an element of another socio-economic class and culture.

That changes the dynamic and odds.

You were successful because you were able to adapt and expand on your normalcy field and because she is a woman who naturally will want to be as status quo and conventional as possible. Therefore, the union was mutually beneficial to both species and organisms for collective procreation.

Go on...

I have seen some of the fattest, geekiest men you can imagine marry some of the prettiest college girls you can imagine.

Love has little if anything to do with a happy marriage, I have come to discover. Love in a woman is nothing compared to the power and sway of Conventionality.

I saw a fat pig of a man with a good IT job, no social skills, but an absolutely conventional family that did conventional things (like go to Disney Land and the occasional cruise), and he landed a beauty queen that I knew in college.

A woman wants children and security. Love is nothing and less than nothing compared to these assets a woman desires. My own grandmother married my grandfather for no other reason than that he had a good job with a mining company and gave her a house where she could twitter away her years dreaming of being Scarlett O'hara in Gone With the Wind. My grandmother was an amoral witch, manipulator, liar, con-artist, hypocrite, and snake. But she was successful in marriage mainly due to the fact that she was completely and totally 100% full of horseshit.

The OP may be an arse, but there is some truth in his words

Seems all very real. But what I want to know is how to go about securing a woman who wants security and children out of true love that doesn't require marriage.... Unconventionally.

Lol, I've been married for 22 years, and no. Just no. This is not what women want.

Security yes. But only because it comes from love. Love. That's what we want.

Duh.

This might be why you're single.

Also, as a man, if you're going to be married, you're going to have to say good bye to thinking, philosophizing, and musing on the meaning of life, let alone anything else.

You cannot be a 'thinker' and have a happy marriage. Just look at Einstein: pure genius, terrible husband. His wife ran off with somebody else because Einstein was over there doing the single worst thing you ever could as a husband -- thinking.

Women hate thinkers. Women want useless, whimsical, meaningless conversation about meaningless, empty matters. That's why they love to gossip on sweet morsels of vanity.

Anything that says 'I'm FUCKING conventional' will get a woman's attention.

Wow. This is sick.

Woman want a MAN, not some idiot child who things we're a thing.

I don't want a movie, dinner, roses, squat from someone that didn't do it for love, to spend time together, etc. and this is not something that has to be explained to most people.

You need psychiatric help dude.

You're wrong. Women do not want a man. Women want a conventional man.

Women want a movie, dinner, roses, and all sorts of squat that has nothing to do with love. They want to spend time together, but not any time, conventional time. This is something that has to be explained to most people because most people are that full of shit and will never admit it.

You're crazy. Absolutely nuts.

You think women wants a guy who doesn't think. Okay. Sure, that's super attractive. Not.

If my husband didn't stimulate me intellectually we wouldn't be together. It's my favorite thing about him. And I tell him that often.

Come on, this is basic stuff here. You can't be serious. Except you are. Wow.
