Marriage

[MAXX]

marriage... not in this day and age

social media made women the biggest whores ever

what's divorce statistics today, like 60+% right

Your entire reply doesn't matter. You have many hypotheses in your entire reply.

I am specifically talking about this reply: "Again, not impossible to sustain a happy devoted marriage without God, but generally that type of marriage is far less successful."

You do realize that you can have a very long reply and discuss different hypotheses within one statement. Thus, this is the statement that I want evidence for. You can address isolated statements in one reply. Yet, you still can't provide evidence for this one statement. Again, your same old "song and dance."

It's just painful to mentally picture 30-40 year olds in bars trying to pick up women.
We all know THAT GUY.
Brags about how fun it is, but in reality he is a sad, lonely man.

It's really sad to watch these 40 and 50 year old men Trying to compete with young guys for these girls. The only ones they ever manage to catch are the floozies who need to be rescued or bimbos that are trying to get a financial plan.

No women who actually have something going for themselves would be bothered with these types of guys

Dear army of one, please post more comics. Thank you.

my best years for pulling babes was in my early to mid 30s. (always lied about my age tho.)

but, I agree, it would've been silly continuing to play out that scene much beyond that.

Very poor analogy.  Many of these divorces are harmless, mistakes that made and quickly fixed, with little lingering damage. Not all are catastrophic.

Not poor at all, Very apt actually.

You haven't been at the front lines to see first hand what a catastrophe looks like.

Imagine an innocent hardworking man, Thrown in jail on thursday to get out on tuesday because of owed child support which he couldn't keep up with since he lost his job, and the judge wont readjust to match his new circumstances.

Put in jail with violent criminals ( Debtors prison is illegal right?) .... He is violently sexually asaulted over the weekend. and by thursday he is swinging from a rope in the bedroom of his shitty apartment. Having been evicted from a 4 bedroom house which his ex-wife and new lover now live in. Of course married life was great and the wife was the best thing ever until he lost his job and couldn't find another...

All in the span of 3 years...

I have plenty of stories like this. Not all end in suicide....Some situations are truly worse than death and thankfully many dont have the courage to go through with it.

You listen to some these mens stories and you can feel your soul tear....And then you hear somebody tell another man to put himself in a situation that could end like that, because "many divorces are harmless mistakes that leave no lingering damage". You hear that, and Its hard not to feel anger. Most people are blissfully unaware of what the feminist movement has done to the family court system and how it is set up to absolutely destroy the average man.

Actually, I didn't tell another man to put himself in the situation.  I merely explained that many divorces don't have lingering damage, as the mistakes were recognized early.

And those are part of the data you are using to make a point.  If 50% of marriages end in divorce, and a portion of that is not damaging, relating it to a 50/50 chance of a catastrophic event is incorrect.

I'd say it's more a fact that you're jaded because you've seen the worst of it.

It's ok if you want to stay single if that's your personal choice. Another thing is to try to fool yourself by claiming marriage and women suck just because you can't get laid.

I'm 42, never married and childless.  Yipee, I must be one of the normal ones.  Had plenty of long term defacto relationships, last one ended a little over 12 months ago.  Kind of happy/sad about it all at the same time.  I wonder if I will ever work this shit out.  But yeah, marriage and kids always seemed like a massive trap to me, always thought it was a fool's paradise.

i'm guessing...

you have good money, good hair, in shape, and have had 200+ sexual partners.

Am I close?

I think he's posted pics and he's doing ok (no homo). But seriously, I have a friend who hasn't gotten laid in years (poor fella looks really bad) and his FB is full of pics with phrases against women and relationships.

If there are millions of Hindu marriages where everyone in them is happy and they keep the focus on 'love and Vishnu'...does that make those gods real?  Are they more real or less real than JC?

People can be godless and happy in marriage.
People can be godless and happy being single.
There are no other gods.
Glad to help.

Haha good catch.

[Radical Plato]

LOL, you're going 50 levels deep unnecessarily and further still you grasp exactly what I'm saying.....you're arguing to argue because I'm a theist.  

What I find funny is that you're actually defending against love in a healthy marriage.    

Marriages work when people love each other and promote that love in their families.  When two people love each, want to love each other and continue loving each other for the remainder of their days the marriage is solid.  Loving marriages established under God are even stronger.  

No I am arguing because you have some idealistic romantic concept of love, like you just read a knight in shining armour fairy tale book.  Like God, love doesn't exist. Like I said it is nothing more than a chemical soup in our brains designed to trick us into reproducing.  Once reproduction is over with the chemicals dissipate. Hence the reason you said "Want to love", because wanting to love someone means you don't actually love them but wish you did.  If you stay in marriage despite not loving someone but 'wanting to love them' then that is incredibly unhealthy and damaging to one's psyche and self esteem.  hence the reason so many marriages are miserable, they stay for all the wrong reasons.

I have 'enough' money to do as I please, I still have a full head of hair and not as many conquests as you predict.  Maybe because I entered long term de facto relationships, so I may as well have been married, but I never could commit, and after a while women realise this and move on.  Oh well.  As for being in shape, I am probably in the best shape of my life right now, I just started my first cycle, just some test e and some dbol to kick start it, and I am in the third week and it is just starting to kick in, crazy libido, strength noticeably going up, recovery ability amazing all the stuff that goes along with it.  I get a lot of interest from the older women but not so much the younger ones. And all the women my age are out of shape, miserable, completely damaged with at least 2-3 kids dragging behind them.  It is depressing.  Fortunately for me I enjoy my own company, have a large porn collection and always find something productive to keep me occupied.

Love is pretty easy in regards to your spouse....you either love them enough to be committed to them in a lifelong marriage or you don't.

Everything you describe isn't love.  Marital love either is or isn't.....nothing hard about this.   People play house a lot and end in divorce.   They get married for the wrong reasons and love is secondary.....that ain't loving someone.    Often times non-committal folks complicate love and turn the idea of love into something it isn't.

If you've never experienced genuine love then the concept is currently out of your depth.   Banging chicks, moving bed to bed and living out of bars, clubs and all that mess....that ain't love....that's nothing.  

I have no issue with dating or being single though.

Not me, I have been saying for twenty five years, ever since I heard about feminism that it will be the ruination of civilization.  Want civilisation to become a circus, put a monkey in charge.  Well that's what we have ladies and gentlemen, the least qualified among us are now running the show to the detriment of all, and all because a lot of men will do anything for a piece of poontang.  Saying 'yes dear', 'you are so right dear' to anything a woman ever says, even if it is complete nonsense.  Women told men that they were worthless pieces of shit and the majority of men simply bought in to it hook, line and sinker, because they didn't want to risk never getting laid or long periods of being alone.  Those who didn't buy it and never married and/or had kids and went there own way and later in their lives realised their decision was the right one after witnessing countless friends and families marriages completely disintegrate, taking down all and sundry.  Fuck feminism and fuck the cuckolded men who support and enable it.

I have loved someone before, she didn't love me.  Nothing more painful than this my friend.  Unfortunately that type of 'true love' feeling rarely comes along if ever.  Had she felt the same way I believe that may have been a good starting point but still the risk is high and I am not some heady idealist who believes that guarantees marital bliss.  And this is what I alluded to earlier, rarely do two people love each other equally, normally one is less in love than the other, and this is where the problem starts, as they want to feel that deep love for someone so they go searching for it.

And I am not a 'Banging chicks, moving bed to bed and living out of bars, clubs' kind of guy.  I will go out occasionally, but much prefer the idea of dating women.

I have tons of stories like this.

In America, you are a fool for getting married.

It's legal bondage forced on us by religious nutjobs.

I will never get married.  If a women cannot accept the fact, fuck it.  By the time I'm 50, I will care less about pussy anyway.

[lilhawk1]

Sorry to keep you waiting.....multi-tasking.  

There's only one God and we know him as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Sounds again like you're outraged over the evil choices of people...I am too.   I'm happy to discuss it with you if you really want.

So anyone that isn't Christian is going to hell?  Let me guess, you read the bible like a history book, and actually believe everything in it?  You think God is an actual being?  Your religion is the one and only religion?
