Why Great Women Marry Total (Edited)
New York Post ^ | June 26, 2015 | Markham Heid

Ever watch a wedding ceremony unfold between your good female friend and the jackass she’s inexplicably marrying? If so, you probably wanted to “speak now” — but instead, you held your peace. Forever.

Some couplings make you smack yourself in the forehead and think, “Why the hell is she with him?” Here, researchers attempt to answer that question.

The (removed) appeal

Jerks tend to possess a lot of characteristics that appeal to women, says Gregory Carter, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Durham in the UK. Those traits include a socially dominant and outgoing demeanor, lots of confidence, and vanity (i.e., a tendency to dress well and take care of themselves), Carter says.

I’ll admit that some of these things appealed to me when I saw them in my husband!

Raven hair and ruby lips
sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
she’s a restless spirit on an endless flight
wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got
the moon in her eye

Some women just want to be married and will accept any guy that asks.....no matter how he treats her.

Keep in mind humans like to complain, so while your friend might spend a lot of time telling you all the annoying thing their soon to be husband does that doesn’t mean he’s not a good catch. Nobody talks about the days they just hung out together and had fun doing nothing special, but those are the days that make a relationship.

Yes. I found one, but I’m his second wife. His first wife was horrid. She left him after a 4 years of marriage-probably the only kind thing she ever did to him. She managed to have several affairs in that four years, too.

In her younger days she was a beauty queen(literally).

In college I was the kind of girl every guy wanted...for a lab partner ;).

Sometimes the lovely and charming ones don’t make good wives.

Only a fool would get married these days. Today’s women are simply not worth it when you get nothing out of the deal accept an early death.

If you are single, go to YouTube and look up MGTOW and save yourself the headaches.
