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

[Lundgren]

LOLOLOL....nice Passive Agrressive insult.

I have a Child...and a real job too 

So you work at a call center, and have a kid you never see because their mommy can't stand your imaturity. 

[Aerian]

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.

That sure is not a CAN DO ATTITUDE.  

You sound like a young cat.  You absolutely can have a very healthy and active lifestyle while having a full time job, kids and being married ( i even know people who have also gone back to school ontop of everything and are in fantastic shape).

Hell, my parents have been running marathons for years and are in the best shape of their lives at 65 and all of their friends are the same way.  You just need to surround yourself with healthy and active people.

I am pretty shocked these days by how many healthy and pretty fit 60+ year olds i see.  Those baby boomers are sure showing up my generation that is forsure.

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

Hulkster I am moving to Ontario (Kingston, specifically) in a few months.  What do you think of it?

[ManBearPig...]

as long as you marry a woman that doesn't give a shit how much you jerk off, it's all good.

true statement

[Croatch]

Rule #1 in marriage:
Don't fuck with my internet porn addiction.
Remember, for better or for worse.

Ontario is a great place to live. even with the new Harmonized Sales Tax coming into effect on July 1st.. 

haven't been out to Kingston personally, although I know someone who lives out there (working on her PhD at Queens University)

It's 12 months to be considered common-law here in Manitoba. You're considered common-law immediately if one party has children, I believe.

In the event of divorce you split all mutually obtained property. Any cash, belongings, or property you had prior to the common-law arrangement, you are allowed to keep 100%.

You hit the nail on the head! When two people love each other they accept each other for who they are, warts and all.

[jtsunami]

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.

that's pathetic, a man has to have a strong mind and know his value.  Men have nothing to gain in marriage and have to know that aside from what society tells him.  Woman have everything to gain, I understand woman wanting to get married after 30, but men, comon that is just sad, they need to grow a pair.

[Tapeworm]

Lol.  The joke would be on her.  She'd make more per hour working at McDonalds than getting half my shit.  Talk about earning every dollar.

[Thin Lizzy]

It's about options, and there's only two. Guys get tired of being single and the chase, so they get married. It works out for some. It doesn't for others.

[Tapeworm]

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'...

Quit idealizing, Matrix.  You were obviously unhappy where you were or you wouldn't have been fucking around.  You wanted out, man.  Just because you're unhappy now doesn't mean you weren't unhappy then.  Don't fool yourself into thinking everything was so great.

[claymore]

the smart guys marry chicks with more money/better career than themselves... worked for me!

Your forgetting the option of living together and not getting married

I'm from Ontario too and common law comes into affect when two people co habit the same residence for 6 months. Unfortunatly prenup and cohabit agreements are not a gaurentee at all and often fail to hold up in court by one of the parties claiming it was signed under duress, or they were bribed, manipulated into signing ect.

[Krankenstein]

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.

At some point you're gonna get fucked in the ass.....

[marty31672]

marrying my wife was the best decision that ever happened to me

[Thin Lizzy]

That's the beginning of the end.

[ToxicAvenger]

Michael Douglas...

[Mr Nobody]

At some point you're gonna get fucked in the ass.....

[Palpatine Q]

STOP right there...he's a FUCKING ACTOR.....

not smart...rich...entertain ing yes...NOT smart

You don't last as long as he has and amass that kind of wealth without being pretty fucking sharp.

For every Micheal Douglas there are ten thousand Richard Griecos.

But wait....he doesn't know Cisco....he can't possibly be smart 

[io856]
