I'm with you. I can cook, keep house, wash clothes and entertain myself better than any woman I've ever met!

Yes, and also includes women who are married, but whose spouses are not living with them at this moment -- for example, if their husband is off doing military duty.

Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?

Oh really? LOL. I didn't realize it was my duty to marry.It is your duty to BE. It is your privilege to become more self-aware.

you are right, the situation you describe has happened to my cousin. It seems to me that your rights to your children should not be circumscribed by divorce. Joint custody should be the rule.

Why would you post that? Just to upset people who like cats? I hope the dogs that kill cats choke to death.

Work on you. A successful relationship is an inside job. You will attract what you become. Gospel truth...but an opinion highly unpopular in the US these days, where one's unhappiness is clearly somebody else's fault. ;)

And what does this mean for us guys who would actually LIKE TO get married?? IMHO, it means that you had better wait and be DAMN sure that the one you decide to marry is the right one. Though you will never know for sure if it is, take every precaution that you can that person will be as dedicated as you. I wasn't sure until I lost my job and was unemployed for a year, she stuck by me and supported me while we were dating. I got back on my feet, married her, and will forever do my best to give her the world.

People are single nowadays because they were raised in a culture of narcissism. Marraige requires responsibility and sacrifice.....two concepts that are anathema to modern culture.

This story was debunked by Micahel Medved over the weekend.
They used girls 15-19 in their statistics as unmarried. Over 10,000,000 females fit into that catagory.

Because young men don't have to get married to have sex regularly any more.
Also, divorce laws favor women, and young men can find themselves handing over a substantial portion of their paychecks for 18 years in exchange for very little contact with their children.
Why bother?

It doesn't but your humor is amusing.
I have a Cairn Terrier that pretty much runs the house; life here centers around whatever he's doing.
