Marriage...Bad idea, especially if you're a dude.

If you applied the same sort of criteria to this investment in your life as you would to any financial investment, NOBODY would get married.

if you do it, you're doing it for other reasons in spite of the practical reasons not to. If you want to, go for it I guess, but I wouldn't even entertain the idea of it without one helluva prenup.


Let me tell you from my own experience, that of my father's, and that of many, many other instances I've observed and noticed. Family law is one seriously fucked up, repugnant, clusterfuck of idiocy and bullshit.

^^Marriage is an important building block of the American family.

2/8/2008 2:38:29 AM

it's overrated--fucked up people tend to fuck up their kids whether they're married or not

2/8/2008 2:40:49 AM

I hear lots of times the man ends up paying child support for his wife's kids from a *previous* marriage in a divorce.

Yeah, family court is pretty fucked up. I'm not sure I could ever be vindictive enough to want to take everything unless I got beat up real bad for not doing the dishes

its natural for women to upgrade. men want to spread their seed to whoever will take it and women ditch men for the next best thing until they eventually can't trade up any higher so they can have the best genes & protection for themselves and their offspring as possible.

it's called a prenup. if fear of losing 1/2 of your shit is the only reason keeping you from marriage, you're not considering all of your options.

marriages are (in my opinion) a business relationship. you sign a contract and agree to terms. why not build in a little protection just in case your business partner decides they want to fuck someone else and spread their seed? whip out the pre nup, split the assets and upgrade

honestly^, do you even see what is going on?

Fist off, I didn't say that. Go back and try that whole reading thing again. I said GENERALLY. As in, most of the time, or in the majority of divorces.

Fuschia, it's sad that you're so utterly blinded by your ideals that you can't see the truth of a situation even when it's overwhelmingly obvious. Yes, it's not always the man who gets screwed when a marriage dissolves, but in the vast majority of cases it is. Family law is hugely tilted in favor of women in every facet; child custody, alimony, child support, property division, etc. If you deny that... well you're just fucking insane and stupid to boot.

Feminists like you, or any ideologue for that matter are what make your very philosophy so unpalatable to many.

no, you fucking cunt, they're a different kind of relationship altogether. i mean, i'd hope you'd marry for finding someone who isn't going to fuck someone else, and not for assets. Material things are only temporary, but true love is eternal.

I'm not blinded to any ideals. I know guys more often get shit taken from them. Doesn't mean it's only them, and it doesn't mean women only get married to take your shit. You apparently think it does, with your "Is this the line to lose half my shit?" nonsense.

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I didn't say anything untrue.

I can't even imagine not being married.

2/8/2008 9:12:37 AM

Pre-nup = FTW

I'd like to think that I won't get divorced whenever I get hitched. However, I'd also like to think that 28 days later could never happen IRL. I'm still stocking up on weaponry and body armor when I get the chance.

I think I admire chembob's naive romanticism as much as I'm repulsed by NCSUWolfy's crass pragmatism.

Then again, to each their own.

2/8/2008 12:31:56 PM

romanticism is a lost art form imo

2/8/2008 12:33:25 PM

I've found that if you kill your wife, you don't have to split your possessions with her. Faster and less messy (legally that is!!!!) than divorce.

its real cute how you act like you know me based on a couple sentences i made based on an opinion i have on the topic of divorce.

i did not mention my opinions on love so plztostop putting words in my mouth. any conclusion you draw from my opinion on divorce is a theory you have come up with on your own. i have a whole other opinion on love completely seperate from divorce. kthx

it's real cute when people say things like 'it's real cute' or 'nice try, though' or 'thanks for playing'.

NO, cunt, I didn't try to act like I know you. I don't. But it's pretty easy to make a theory based on what you said.

My theory is this: You took something more sacred and older than any religion and you've said it's no different than a business contract. Is this how you approach spending your life with someone (in marriage)? I mean, I'd hope that when you marry someone, you:

a. Love each other
b. Are faithful to each other
c. Trust each other
d. Have a unified vision of your future together.

If a couple can't abide by that, they have no business marrying each other in the first place.

I don't know, let me know if I sound wrong here. I might be an romantic idealist, but that beats the crass pragmatic one.

hahaha what? you're trying to quote an obvious joke as something serious?
