Geting married..Dumbest thing a man can do?

[big L dawg]

If you give me a few hours...I'm sure I'll find something funny with that statement. 















just kidding.       It's true though.  We have had 4 really good years (outside of my illness - which may have even brought us closer).  In those 4 years we may have only argued 3-4 times.   

well sounds like as long as you don't get married you guys will be fine

[Cavalier22]

either way im glad im a guy.

there is no rush to get married for us

[gracie bjj]

i'm a straight guy, gracie, but i'd marry you for breakfast every morning.  

lol,i get up at 2am every morning,i open up the gym at 5am but i like to get there early and train and do cardio work before the members roll in.i live right around the corner from the gym so it takes me about 3 minutes by car if that to get there,my wife loves blueberry pancakes and eggs,i cook her breakfast while im on the getbig boards.i think its very important to let your children (especially the little boys),to see his father treating his wife with respect and kindness.little kids are very impressionable and i want to make sure my son grows up and respects the good women out there,and hes always copying me in everything i do so i have to be on good behavior at all times.sometimes i hit my toe on a coffee table or something and wanna yell,fuggin shit table,but i cant cause hell repeat that faster then anything.one day i slipped and said shit,he waits till my wife gets home and out of all the times to say that word,mind you hes only 2 years and ahalf years old,he was born on the 4th of july in 2006 so you can barely make out what hes saying but its not that hard.we are eating dinner and he starts saying shit,shit,shit like 10 times in a row,my wife says what is he saying? in that voice all of us married guys no means here comes the lecture now for 2 hours from here,lol.i said he saying ships,i said we where watching a documentory on the edmund fitzgerald ship that sunk in the great lakes back in the early 70,s i believe.she didnt buy it but i stuck with my story,never admit anything unless your totally cornered,even then just blame everthing on one of your buddies and apoligize to her.the reason alot of marraiges and relationships fail is cause no one wants to compromise and admit maybe they where wrong,pride and stubborness has ruined alot of what could have been a very happy lifetime together.ive  never had a problem telling my wife im sorry,or for that matter telling anyone things like pardon me,excuse me,thank you ect.my mom taught me that at a very young age.my dad was an alcoholic,he used to beat me down bad starting at about 6 years old,back in the late 60,s and early 70,s there was no deyfus or child abuse laws that enforced it,not in my neck of the woods anyway.i mean i got into the things all 8 yr old and up kids got into,playing hooky from school alittle ect,but my dad,d father,who i never met,he shot himself in the head when my dad was around 13 or so.i guess he took it out on me or something cause he put in the emergency room like 7 times,my dad told me if i told the doctors the truth he would kill me next time,i was scared shitless and kept my pie hole shut.as far as my new life,ive never even yelled at my son cause im so scared of turning out like my dad,when i look at my son its impossible to imagine wanting to hurt him,i never loved anything more in my life then my son.i have a good relationship with my dad today,i forgave him cause thats what jesus wanted me to do.whats weird is me and him never speak about those days,im kinda glad cause it would feel akward in a sense.my mom told me he told her he couldnt understand why he hurt me so bad and often,my mom said he says he loves me and thats good enough for me

I was infatuated with the pancake idea.  Then when I found out they were blueberry and he had a kid my own son's age to play with, I was sold.

Plus me and gracie would have a cool relationship because the extent of our relationship would be watching the NFL playoff and a UFC match, then going out and picking up some random chicks to bang.  It's a win-win really.

[Ron]

I am married for 15 years, and have two wonderful kids.  There are always times that are rougher than others, but I like being married, and having someone who loves you for who you are.  You don't need to act, be someone you are not, and having a family with kids that are happy and laughing is the best.

Yes, you can be single, but that is your decision. I know many older single people that do regret not getting married, or letting that special person go. 



Now, of course, I got this email from some single guys..

Nice thread. This is my take on the whole thing:

Married guys will defend in favor of it.
Bachelors will argue against it.
Divorced guys will just stay quite...

[FREDO]

A marriage is a job that takes two. If one is working hard at it...it's going to fail.  The trick is knowing if your mate is a hard worker, or just a slug.    It works both ways. 

i have a job already i don't need another.....i would never want to be in a relationship that i thought of as work.....if its not adding to my life an immense amount i rather not be in it

FEMALE POEM
I want a man who's handsome, smart and strong
One who loves to listen all day long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I want him to be gainfully employed,
And when I spend his cash, not be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! For a man who makes love to my mind,
And knows what to answer to "how big is my behind?"
I want this man to love me to no end,
And forever be my very best friend.

MALE POEM
I want a deaf-mute nymphomaniac
With huge boobs who owns a
Liquor store and a fishing boat.
I know this doesn't rhyme and I don't give a shit.

one day i slipped and said shit,we are eating dinner and he starts saying shit,shit,shit like 10 times in a row,

lol.i said he saying ships,i said we where watching a documentory on the edmund fitzgerald ship ,never admit anything unless your totally cornered,even then just blame everthing on one of your buddies and apoligize to her,

i forgave him cause thats what jesus wanted me to do

Why do you lie?
Why not tell her you fell and said shit, are you that scared of her?
You will teach your son about Jesus and lying....

To the OP dont get married, just look at the divorce % they should invent something else
than marriage.

Honeymoon is that brief period of time between "I do" and "You'd better....."

One wife said to her husband, "If you want breakfast in bed, SLEEP IN THE KITCHEN!!"

A man was speeding down a road and a police officer started following him, the man kept speeding; and the policeman kept following him. After a while, the man finally stopped. The policeman was so exasperated, he told the man, "Look, if you give me one good reason why you kept speeding and didn't stop earlier, I won't give you a ticket."

The man said, "You won't believe this, sir. But, two weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer".

The officer asked, "What's that got to do with your speeding?".

The man replied, "I thought you were that same police officer, chasing me down to give her back!"

i have a job already i don't need another.....i would never want to be in a relationship that i thought of as work.....if its not adding to my life an immense amount i rather not be in it

Even when the two people get along great...it's still work.  The trick is enjoy it.  People are constantly growing and experiencing new things.  For some marriages it's an easy process, for others...not so easy.  But if you think it isn't work that "makes it work", you are sadly mistaken.  But that is just my opinion and experience as I have done it twice already.

I guess my question to the more cynical guys is this...

Are you going to be happy when you're old and alone?  I mean, I can see how much fun it is to be single and young, but there's not much of a "young hot ass" market for the over-55 set...

Like it's so great to be old and have some old bag constantly yappin' in your ear.

And there's plenty of young hot ass for an old guy, as long as he has money, just ask "Hef."

Some good points and wisdom in this post.
I agree with many of you.
There is NO benefit for men in marriage, EVER.
Never once in my life seen real happy couple, NEVER.
Seen tons of miserable ones including my parent and all of my relatives and friends.
Happy marriage is like a ghost that everyone talks about it yet NO ONE HAS SEEN IT!
I know there are happily married few.
I'm happy for them however not everyone is winning lottery.
The worst thing a man can do is getting married or having a child.
Again, I have to emphasize on this one that THERE IS NO BENEFIT FOR MEN IN MARRIAGE, NEVER, EVER, PERIOD!

[Steel-Lucifuge]

Congrats bro.
It's cool that you have great marriage.
Consider yourself have won lottery.
I came across lottery winners few times but never even MET one happily married guy in my life, EVER.
Either way, good for you dude.

ive been blessed,my wife is from south america(colombia)and she and i have had a great marraige the last 8 years,we have a 2 and a half year old healthy baby boy who,s the love of our lives.im 43 and shes 28 and imo shes very beatiful inside and out.the secret to making a good marraige is treating her like its valentines day everyday,im not a rich man but something as simple as a card once aweek and making breakfast for her every morning,calling her during the day to say you love her,little things like that keep the relationship strong imo.ive been down that dating scene road before i got married and it was hard at times,just when you think you met the perfect women you find out she has a penis,just kidding,but no matter how great alot of girls come off at first,it just seemed like as soon as we moved in together they changed for the worst,i felt like i moved in with my mother most of the time.i guess the broads say the same about us,lol

[Steel-Lucifuge]

I rather be alone even in my old age.
I don't even care if I could not get laid anymore.
Sex is the only thing women can offer and they use it like a weapon.
So fuck them if they don't want to sleep with me anymore.
I will never sign that contract of death/suicide (marriage) even if that means I will never get laid.
Fuck that shit.

I guess my question to the more cynical guys is this...

Pretty solid post right here

[GRACIE JIU-JITSU]

 First of all. mariage in US = business. theres no love.only the love for money.
 Just take a look to all this girls out there looking for some rich guy.
 But sometimes the  rich guy never shows up. then she gets old and lonely. but... whatever.
 lets go back to the  " I love you = Give me the f.k money othervise i can't love you"
 Whos to blame? american men. why? well! in america men has to pay for everything.
 And women knows how to take advantage of that situation.
 Im not saying you should not buy her some s.ht and this and that.
 But how about this? You take my hand , lets fight the world,you  have your job and i have my. we work ,  so  we can conquer things together.

The worst thing a man can do is getting married or having a child.

I disagree about children. I used to thinks exactly like you before my own was born. One can't not love his own child. If he does - he has psychological problems and needs treatment.

As for the problems of marriage - children are hardly ever a real problem. It's the relationship between the spouses that is always the real cause of unhappiness.

It's not unexpected though: the thing is - we all need some sort of own space (be it mental or physical) and a sense of freedom. This is why we can only have decent relationships when we maintain a certain distance with the person. When on the other hand you live under the same roof, sleep in the same bed and shit in the same toilet for 10 years - there will inevitably be friction - lots of friction.

And yeah, there are a very few ones that are very happy in marriage, but exceptions normally support generality, not refute it.
