Should people get married?

This thread reminds me of this story I read somewhere online, found it again on google:

“Once upon a time a prince asked a beautiful princess “Will you marry me?” The princess said no. And the prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and ****** cute skinny girls and hunted and raced cars and went to naked bars and dated women half his age and drank beer, Jack Daniel´s and Captain Morgan and drank the milk from the box and never heared bitching and went to rock concerts and kept his appartment and his favourite jeans and never got cheated on while working and his family and his friends thought he was ****** cool as hell and had tons of money & left the toilet seat up. THE END.”

You rip that one off GS Elevator? But yeah, kind of agree with that. No thanks. If I were ever to get married it would have to be somebody of similar earning level/potential.

surprise blush

I want this life!

Well, except for skinny girls

Didn’t you mean especially for the skinny girls?

Umm… No. I am not into girls. Skinny or otherwise;)

^ From what I hear, the best oral you’ll ever get is from a girl. Maybe you’re missing out.

Can confirm.

You have a guy to compare it to?

Ehh… i don’t care for it much… And they don’t have d… That’s a deal breaker

I don’t understand the cosmo.com part.

But if men think that negatively about marriage, just say no!

I honestly respect people to do that than to get married for the wrong reasons.

No, in fact, i am almost against marriage.

Honestly, i think it’s probably the most unromantic thing ever.

Plus, all these financial benefits do not outweigh the financial burden of a divorce.

Hahaha, this is not a thread about me necessarily, in fact, i am really not trying to get married!

I don’t believe in marriage.

TRUE STORY:

I know a couple friends (they are 50 years old on average), both financially independent, been togheter for 15 years+, never got married, have a child together, they are still together and still refer each other girlfriend/ boyfriend…

I think THAT’S romantic and show commitment to their friends and families. They are together not because of the child, not because of the piece of paper, but they truly enjoy havign each other in their lives. Granted, they may not enjoy all tax benefits, but to me, that’s the most rational thing to do in their circumstances.

Is it that you don’t care for it or you are a bit insecure with someone being down there which ruins the experience? I had one experience where i was down there for a good 5 minutes (felt like an hour though) only to find out weeks later she would just perfer the real deal.

I found I lose focus pretty fast and mind mind drifts away…

That’s why you give her the shocker. That brings her back pretty fast.

I don’t either! Which is why this is a Disney story book ending.

That kid must love being called a bastard in school

Really? you think that kid is going to get teased because her parents are not married but still together?

How many kids these days come from broken families? We aren’t talking about kids from 20 years ago, we are talking about 2014, there are definitely more kids with troubled parents, divorced, separated, and everything in between than to pick on.
