A relationship expert who describes herself as the 'Get the Ring Coach' has revealed why women looking for marriage should refuse to date men on an exclusive basis - until they propose.
Love and Relationship Coach Sami Wunder, who is based between the UK and Germany, used the same trick herself when she first met Chris, now her husband, by refusing to stop dating other people until he popped the question.
Nine months later he did and now they have been happily married for five years and have a son, while Sami has been responsible for 95 proposals in two years of business - with one taking just three months.

“This is not first thread with men vs women”
I’m sorry you think these are “men vs women” articles.
That is sad.
Wardaddy - where have you been? I’ve missed you. We haven’t been on the same threads.
How are you? Are you behaving?
Good grief! Unpainted toenails are bad?? LOL
I do not understand your attitude, to take apart what I say...why do you read NEGATIVE into whatever is said?
Unbelievably Judgmental!
The men vs women comment came from what happened on another thread, that thread became just that - the women vs men! That’s a fact... NOT what I believe! Sheesh!
Please do not comment to me anymore.
With all the people you don't want to talk to you, maybe you should be the bigger person, and just leave....
;-)
A Ring almost brought about the complete destruction of middle earth.........just sayin'
I think we agree on more than we disagree. The “no-fault” laws and the subsequently created and lucrative divorce industry (lawyers, forensic accountants, therapists, child advocates, etc etc) have created a monstrous situation in which, I agree, it is more risky to get married than not for increasing numbers of people.
As for which sex gets the rawer deal, I continue to believe everyone gets a raw deal. Even if someone “wins” at divorce, he or she is a loser, especially if there are children. A pox on both their houses.
I would like to think that better preparation for marriage would be desirable. I think that is the reason for the opening post — the article gives one example of how people should keep the brakes on before marriage and also before sexual relations — at least until they have established what kind of expectations each person has, what each brings to the situation, what might prevent each from delivering on same, what their time frame looks like, and if they are compatible personally as well as expectation-wise. But given the environment, it is still a crap shoot.
Well I see you dropped your female façade.....
Have great evening....pretending.
The divorce rate 200 years ago was around 7%.
That argument falls into the same trough as "society should support gay teens because of their high suicide rate."
Suicide is a cynical, selfish, spiteful and cowardly act, especially if there are children. It is a complete lack of faith and a repudiation of the principle that Judgment exists and one's ultimate fate may turn out to be a lot worse for eternity. It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Don't think with your little head.
Yes
I like painted toenails
I cannot lie
My precious~...
It does depend on the woman, of course, but many of my friends worried about getting pregnant even on the Pill or using barrier methods because it does happen, so being free of that worry can spark a better mood. The difference between male and female sex drives is often enormous, sadly, but then, nothing would get done if we were exactly the same! Enjoy your tub and Dr. Pepper!
When women want a baby inside them....that itch....it’s Gods way I reckon
They will wear you out
Like that 80s movie Love Potion #9
Relentless.....not that I ever complained but I did doubt at times if I could keep up
Not the same argument at all. The gay men have mental health issues. In the case of divorce the man is 8-10x more likely to 1) lose his home 2) lose his kids 3) (33x) more likely to pay alimony 4) 50x more likely to go to jail if can't pay child support etc 5) 4x as likely to have the spouse file for divorce. While I agree both parties (usually) lose in divorce mentally, it is far more likely that men lose financially (vs 100 years ago, the opposite)
I haven't at all, actually. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming women, really. If the divorce rules were setup to financially destroy the women and the men generally got a complete out in a divorce, men would file at a much higher rate than they do and women would file less. It's just simple financial incentives.
Take my situation - 10 years ago my wife and I were in the scheme of things close on income. After a couple of promotions for me, my wife begged me to let her stay at home for several years before I finally relented for her "mental health.". I've also let her spend far in excess of what I spend to be the supportive husband.
Fast forward to today. If she left me today after 12 years of marriage, she'd get half the assets despite contributing nothing to the net worth we have, and at the age of 36, I'd be on the hook for $80-$100k in alimony annually - forever (no kids) - even though my plan is to retire around 45-46 and never work again (I'd be forced to work forever). All things else being equal, whom is more likely to file for divorce in our situation? I have a huge financial incentive to stay married, not have a wandering eye, etc. She does not.
It was more the case that fathers had the job of ensuring that the honor of their daughters was preserved, by controlling who their daughters were allowed to meet, with their fellow patriarchs backing them up as needed.
But that went away with the destruction of the patriarchy under the current legal system.
Pew Research Study on single fathers. Single fathers now comprise 25% of single parent households. Single fathers are more likely to be white, and have a higher average income than single mother households.
My guess, based upon the current state of the family court system, is that fathers are unlikely to get custody unless they can irrefutably demonstrate that they are more qualified to raise the kids.
From my own parenting experiences, young children need a mother's nurturing, but teens need a father's discipline and guidance.
