Marriage?
If she believed that two people could love each other and live happily together without the need for marriage, would you find her unappealing. I've been rejected a few times by guys because of it and I can't figure out why they think it's so important to get married to someone. Seriously, why is it?
| Yes | 25 | |
| No | 51 |
Hell no, there needs to be more women like you around. Marriage is too risky for guys nowadays, and how a guy would have this as a deal breaker is a head scratcher, as if love can't be sustained without some ceremony with religious backgrounds that you never engaged in so it can go on a piece of paper that your love is legit?
Ridiculous.
I don't either, you don't need a ceremony to prove your love for each other do day to day things
Marriage is important to me. It is what I aspire to. There's something romantic about the idea which I just like. My ideal life has marriage in it. Would it be a deal breaker? I don't know, maybe.
Perhaps they can't figure out why it's so important to you not to get married.
As a guy who feels the same way about marriage, I'd find that perspective appealing in a woman.
I don't think I'm alone, either.
My wife never planned to marry, never dreamed of marrying; none of it. No thoughts of a dress, bridesmaids, or any of the crap that most little girls dream of.
Needless to say, when you meet the right one, you may very well change your mind.
A lot of people have said that to me over the course of a decade and I still haven't changed my mind on the subject. I'm not a religious person and I could care less about the tax breaks and benefits where I live, so why would I even think of changing my mind?
It's fine if you never change your mind. You and your partner can always lock a padlock to a chain link fence, kiss, and throw the key in the water. Commitment can be delicious.
As I said, when you meet the right person, you MAY change your mind. How can you argue that?
no, but i would probably work to changing her mind on the matter, cause i want to marry, not have some big ceremony, or anything, but hell if we are living together we might as well just for the benefits (taxes, healthcare, etc.)
Not really no, marriage at this point is just a meaningless form of recognition between two people. It doesn't really mean much since we have drive thru weddings and people in general who don't take love seriously.I don't know what the tax benefits are but I'm sure I could live without them. If I met someone who I truly loved and cared for then I'm happy with that, I don't need a ceremony to prove to someone that I love them, I can show that in many other ways.
Every single couple I knew that got married are now divorced. In each one of thosr divorces someone got screwed over financially. The only couple I know of thats still together are my parents and they were never married.
Is that why you don't believe in marriage? Because the people around you who were married ended up badly whereas your parents did not.
That's one of the things that I don't like about marriage, it does seem like someone will get screwed over in the end. Not always, but there is the potential for that to happen.
Again, there really is no need for a whole ceremony to show someone you love them.
Because personally, I'm not sure if I believe in marriage myself. Traditional marriage doesn't seem viable in today's society anymore. My hope for humanity in this regard is almost all but lost...
I would very well be a hypocrite if I expected a woman I wanted to be with to believe in something that I don't lend any credence to myself now wouldn't I?
I'm not a man (I didn't vote I promise), and I wouldn't mind if someone I was with didn't want to marry. I see more value in the wedding than the marriage itself. The wedding is a wonderful ceremony where two separate family chains come together and celebrate the two links that connect them. It's also a grandiose celebration of love where just you and one other person are the stars. I think it would make for an awesome experience. However, if that's not what my main squeeze is into, no problem.
There are no deal-breakers with the opposite gender. Deal-breakers are for arrogant shitfaces who make demands.
Forget breaking deals... start accepting people, you utter morons!
If you don't measure love over such arbitrary things as marriage, then you shouldn't have a relationship.
