How do smart guys fall for the marriage thing over and over?

[Croatch]

Michael Douglas...come on brother.  What is society's infatuation with tying assets together to profess their "love"?  It's the most ridiculous thing since owning a dog.

Michael and Diandra's divorce remains one of the costliest in Hollywood history. The pair's split was bitter, to say the least, with Diandra accusing Michael of sex and alcohol addiction and multiple infidelities. In 2007, Forbes magazine compiled a list of the 10 most expensive celebrity divorces and listed the Douglases' at number eight. Diandra walked away with an estimated $45 million and the couple's homes in Beverly Hills and Majorca.

Marriage is not the problem, divorce is.  The fact that you make millions off of a skill you had that your wife doesn't yet you still have to give her half is a shame.  I can understand the house, but guys like tiger having to give Ellen have his money is bullshit.  She had nothing to do with the money he made, she actually probably cost him money and wins. 

There's so much prime pussy out there.  Why get married?

[Hulkster]

you don't even have to get married to get screwed.

not sure how it is in the states, but here in Ontario, living common-law is basically the same as divorce when it comes time to split as long as you have been living together for over 3 years (I think).

folks, even though it is not romantic, get a prenup or a co-habitation agreement (the common law equivilent of a prenup).

its not romantic, but its the smart thing to do.

I own my own house, car etc so you can bet that when someone moves in with me, I will have one of those agreements. I worked damn hard to get what I have today and I am not losing half of it to some bitch

[Mr Nobody]

Just pay for hoes up front then no hassles, they will cost you anyway.

guys turn 30 and their test levels drop, their tv heroes or high school friends start to die off and they realize their own mortality, and they want kids to give their life meaning.  I fell into the same mental trap myself...

little do they know, slaying strange ass and making tons of $ is still a pretty good meaning of life.

haha not at all!  having a family was the most awesome move of my life.

But there are times when I see people complaining about how hard it is to be single, how they never have any time, and I just have to laugh.  They have the freedom to hook up whenever, and the ability to just sleep 24 straight hours if they want - you lose those things with wife and kids.

Plus i see too many people just marry the first chick that smiles at them after they turn 30, because they're desperate to procreate.  I knew my woman since high school and didn't get married til I was 29.

I have a friend who said "you never marry the right girl, you marry the one you're going out with when you're around 30...."

[bigdumbbell]

have nothing in your name, create a trust.  then, have a signed tight prenuptual agreement.

its just always a 'the grass is greener' issue. when you are attached you look around and think 'man i could be getting all this other fine ass right now! i could do whatever i want and it would be gggrrreeat!!!'... but then you become single, realise its not as awesome or easy as it looked and you miss all the things, all the little things you took for granted, that you had when you were 'attached'...

I don't know.  I think if you need to reproduce to derive meaning from your life, it's pretty sad...haha
I understand that's most women's goal, is to breed...considering most have nothing in life they actually do other than work, shop, and fuck.  Don't misunderstand me though, some women are great just like that...haah

Do they? 

Please elaborate because I'm having a hard time comparing an image of Ronnie Coleman hiking up his posing trunks to show his straited glutes with the image of two people exchanging vows in the sanctity of a marriage ceremony.

Happily single then , happily married now ,no regrets.

How about:
"Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to do it without their drugs."
Man up buttercup, shit ain't that hard...woosh.

Dude this is just trivial superficial garbage. I'd way rather look like Groink in my mid forties than be tied down with a family, or a career. You think you can look that good with a full time job and kids, not a chance. People gotta stop focusing so much on kids and career, that's a poor measure of success.
