It's easier being single.

But my dogs always seem to be the cute ones....

As I recall, Jung said this many years ago.

We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

It’s less a case of love being blind than beauty being only skin deep.

It’s sad the researchers didn’t seem to understand that.

I thought it was “Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.”

My ex wife was a real knockout when we married, but she let herself go after awhile, so I got rid of her.

Only "researchers" see only the physical.

People in a relationship see beyond the physical, by definition.

Only Leftists, looking for ways to split up loving relationships, would try to think of ways to convince people to doubt the beauty they perceive in each other's hearts, negate it from their perception, and re-perceive those they love as "flawed" or "ugly" based on the researchers rules of interpretation.

Evil is where you find it.

My wife’s other half is great looking and intelligent, to boot.

They'll just think your head is bowed because you are a subservient abused husband.

And the opposite is true about divorced spouses.

All I know is that I have a really hard time having an eye to eye conversation with my wife. The rest of her is terribly distracting.

It makes zero sense to say that my wife is less attractive than I think she is...or more.

I haven't a clue as to what women see in men...never have had.

I think I have an idea what men see in women. Therefore, I can be confident in saying any married man who isn't married to the most beautiful woman God ever created must have been blind drunk when he too his vows. Either that or he's an idiot.

That's one of the freebies God said we could take from the Garden when we were evicted. He made it possible for every man on earth, when he connects, to connect to the most gorgeous lass extant. When any man fails to open that gift, it's wasted.

I have always believed (going back to the 1950s) that a man looks for a woman who probably resembles his mother as he remembers her from early childhood, while a woman decides, at a certain time in her life, to marry - - and takes whatever is immediately available. (Well, it happened to me).
