“How many women did you pursue until you met the 'right one'?”
Zero I was an avowed self-interested guy!
“How many did you consider marrying before the wifey put you in the stranglehold of luv?”
Zero Zip Nada.
“How many told you 'no', in some form, or another?”
For a meaningful life long relationship? Zero!
For sum fun er whatnot, Um more than I can count?!? heh
“So...in other words...she chose you.
Now...looking back...did you really have a choice of staying, or leaving?”
Now that's a great one.
On one hand of course I coulda bailed at anytime or screwed things up beyond repair.
But leave? Hell who am I kiddin'. OK yeah she'd a had to
have thrown my ass out the door. She's prolly thinkin' 'bout that even now!
One thing is for sure she didn't place to many demands on me.
Other than the "give up the booze or you are history"
or the "Ya know, now that you are going to be a Father your gonna have to grow-up"
but hey one would have to be denser than depleted uranium not to make the correct choices when given those ultimatums Right? Am I right??? or whut?

So...you were never on the market, eh?
Anyway, she still cut you from the herd. My point was that women are the ones who choose who they are going to marry, not men. Most women 'require' all sorts of things to get their attention...even if they're interested before you make the attempt. In the end, even if you ask for their hand in marriage, they can still say 'no' due to some real, or imagined, slight.

"My point was that women are the ones who choose who they are going to marry, not men."
I always thought it was a 'mutual' decision???
Hey you are on yer 2nd sig other (right)?
At your age this whole marriage thing shouldn't be much of an issue.
You are either gonna stay hooked up with the
current 'Ms Right' or yer prolly gonna end up being a lonely old lounge lizard from now on.
Why don't you just come right out and state your position clearly.
On My Planet all Wimen's are in charge of is the nookie.

Sorry, but that's where most men are wrong. The ultimate decision is the woman's. She has the power to decide yes or no, and the ability to make, or break, the relationship at that point. Why do you think we men are always forced to ask?

And you'll do just about anything to get that nookie...

That's cuz they is the ones that get preggers.
Heck if ya ain't out to recreate a copy of yerself
(or take on the responsibility of raising some other guy’s brats)
then there’s few other reasons to sign up @ our age.
Now if you are a talkin’ about scoopin’ up a 20 sumthin’
and starting all over from scratch then that’s another matter entirely

Hey, God... you misspelled "they" in that post.GOD ALMIGHTY said:I made marriage as a way to have what each wants. The woman gets stability and the man gets sex. This is a gross oversimplification of the matter yet it is true nonetheless. If you would pay attention to what you are obliging yourself to, 'til death do us part, sickness and health, richer or poorer, those things are there for a reason. In 923, it made sense for adults of 12 to get married, thay would die before they were 30. In 1678, the same held true yet the age increased slightly, to about 16. In 2002, nobody knows themselves, much less a life partner, until they are well into their 20's. Do not rush into marriage. Because I expect you and your spouse to agree to and live with the boundries set by marriage. Nobody said it was easy.

Disco was the work of Satan.
Farrah was the work of plastic surgery.
Idaho...what you got against taters?

But your marriage won't last a week.
Scary enough, I've seen that happen. Our old next door neighbours. They'd been living together for 7 years, no problem. Got married, and within a year they were done.
