>>>I know what women do when they don't get married:

.....

They get a little weird.<<<


And married folks don't?

[BuddhaBoy]

Could it be that when it comes to marriage (insert anything here except shopping), most women are just malcontents?

[marajade]

TNG is on DVD... the last season set is coming out on Tues....

[Chad Fairbanks]

Ya know... not to sound like a He-Man Woman-Hater or anything, but if women didn't have, well, you know, we'd probably be hunting them like deer...

;0)

I was married 18 and gave it my all..I wanted nothing more than to form a partnership with my ex husband. I gave my all not only to him but to my three children (which I would gladly do again) but my love and devotion was never reciprocated by my ex. I am very "old fashioned" in my beliefs and have never felt pressured to be a man.

[Little Bill]

You have that right kid, it cost me $350K and I had the kids and put them through school on my dime, $125K, my ex is an RN good for $60-70K a year, contributed Nada, oh, I forgot $25,000 in lawyers fees, I was working 3500 hours a year.

[BuddhaBoy]

sneaking was YOUR word.

[Dog]

I told you all this would be a fun thread....:-)

[End The Hypocrisy]

Studies have found that women say at least 4 times as many words as men do. SO if we hear more complaints from them, it's not that surprising.

Already in my Amazon wish list, Sugar.

>>>Love is probably down there somewhere with Condom Failure as reasons why people get married these days.<<<


I bet birth control failure (especially the accidentally on purpose kind) is a major cause of marriage these days, especially now that DNA testing is so precise. :-(

[atpeace]

sorry...was supposed to be married for 18 years!

[marajade]

Amazon have us credit... have you tried? Seriously, we get them from dvdempire.com at 97.99 a season... Season 7 for us has shipped...

[marajade]

oops have-gave

[UnBlinkingEye]

I have read that married men live longer than single men..

It just seems longer. ;>)

LOL!!!

[vbmoneyspender]

I was only trying to be provocative -- I don't believe for a second that most women are malcontents. I think they just pretend to be malcontents

[furball4paws]

I am sorry. We all make mistakes, but we still must go on. Believe me, I know.

[guitfiddlist]

sneaking was YOUR word.

Heh-heh. It seems necessary sometimes. It is an instant argument when discussing the attractions of foreign women to female friends and colleagues.

[BuddhaBoy]

No, no, you don't get it.

I put stuff in my Amazon wish list, so some female looking to soften me up for marriage can buy them for me.

I have a date on New Years Eve, so I expect to watching them between Bowl games this week.

LOL!

Three rings of marriage

Engagement Ring...Wedding ring...Suffering
