  • Are you a woman? I can totally understand being a woman and wanting to be married, you basically have someone that will take care of you the rest of your life, for the most part.

    As a man I cant understand at all any other man's motivation to get married. Sure if you met the one in a million catch I can understand, but thats so rare today. I dont wana bash marriage in general I just think it benefits women far more then men.

    More single men I know are happier then single women, and more married women are happier then married men.

    • I don't understand wanting to get married either, even for women. Their reasons for wanting it just seem as petty as their reasons for wanting children.

      • I can totally understand wanting to be married being a woman, and cant blame them either. Anything technical or project wise that goes wrong with the house automatically becomes the man responsibility to fix, not to mention most women are probably going to boss their husbands around, and for some reason its accepted because its "cute". Brother let me tell you, it aint "cute" I dont envy those guys one bit. I dont understand the desperation some men feel in wanting to get married, I love LOVE the ability to go back to the peace and quiet of my home, without kids running around, making a mess, breaking this or breaking that, and then my wife nagging the shit out of me about it.

        Hey maybe that is selfish, I really dont care. But you people (not you OP) that want kids go ahead and have them. And keep telling yourself its "soooo" rewarding as well. Maybe you will believe it one day.

        • Haha, that sure sounds like wishful thinking, put like that. I can't say I have a full understanding of the implications of marriage, so I can't agree on that one. I kind of like bossy women! Still no intention of getting married, though! :P

          • You need to live with a bossy women before you say "like" them, not saying it will definitely change your opinion , but it could be an eye opener for you.

            I got a woman at work that tells me what to do, I need another one at home doing it like I need a second asshole.

            • It could be, never know. It takes all kind of people to make a world, though. I'm not much for optimistic talk, but we can always hope to make the best out of what we have. Try to avoid getting headaches over your boss! Woman or not, I don't think those people get a ton of fans for doing their job, so you're far from alone in that line of thinking.

      • I didnt mean to imply that you wanted marriage, I read it as you dont want to get married either. I dont know why I posted it implying that you perhaps wanted to be married.
