There are probably a significant number of women who find that Duracell meets this need. LOL!
That's the only kind of love there is.
My suggestion is see what the scriptures teach on marriage. See what the scriptures teach about women. That's the advise I'd take over this goof ball. Talk about one empty loser.
In his elder yrs....he'll be one lonely old creepy man. In that day...NO WOMEN ESPECIALLY YOUNG OR OLD will give him the time of day.
He'll live out is golden years in an under staffed medicaid nursing home. Talk about NO fun...that's where he's heading. ;o)
Can you tell us why you'd never marry again? I'm 39 and have not married. Thought about it once when I was dating a wonderful girl. But I decided there was simply not enough in common - and I must admit, the nagging was non stop and was not something I was willing to live with.
Too funny!
I went to the website and it seems the hidden agenda is not so much "no marriage" as "no marriage to a Western woman." Hmm.
Gotta feel sorry for the guy
Editing some of the cynicism, and polishing the cannonball, she falls in love for who he is, and immediately starts to try to change him. Either change and be miserable as someone you aren't, or fight the change and make both of you miserable in the attempt. (26 Years and the fight continues!)
Guess he wouldn't want to hear the words of Solomon..."He that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord" (Prov 18:22)...maybe that's why he had so many.
Good post. Just marrying a man doesn't make a woman a wife though.
They're out there. Trouble is, you have to be willing to take a chance to find one.
My motivation has always been one of competing regrets: I have felt the bigger regret would be to lose a great one through inaction, rather than the regrets I've suffered at the hands of women like the ex.
From what I've seen, you are not doing anything different than I have done.
Oh, well, skip it then.

You ALSO get dressed up in a bee costume, wear scuba fins, and throw marmalade at monkeys?
Small world.
Well, from his writing, the author sounds like a whining, immature, selfish jerk who hasn't looked for or found decent women in the right places. (Or is looking for a super model fantasy of perfection that won't care if his hair is thinning or he has a pauch.) There are decent women and men in this world willing to committ and compromise in a marriage relationship. (They don't mind growing old with one another either.) The caveat is that most decent women prefer positive, decent men and vice a versa.
I don't know about you, but I would not trade my good marriage (I married a great guy) of 20 years for being single and messing around sexually in meaningless relationships that may lead to disease and/or heartbreak.(Let alone the thought of some jerk sizing me up negatively because I'm old and not a hot to trot young chick.)
As for having children, I thank God for my seventeen-year-old son who doesn't think it's uncool to talk with or be seen with his "fuddy-duddy" parents who, hopefully, have given him a good view of what marriage is really all about.
I'm not too far from a resort where there are lots of older singles. Of course, there's many older retired ladies who form friendships with each other and play and do a little travel. Frankly--these older biddies with their buddies seem a sight happier than the duffers. One old duffer does not offer much in the way of emotional support to other old duffers. The duffers leer at women that are younger than them, and laugh at saggy flirtation.
I'd say having a long-time friend, with whom you don't always get along, is better than alone...
These resort areas are "child unfriendly"--which is a rational choice that I understand, but sometimes regard as rude.
Both the biddies and the duffers graduate to the local nursing homes. Sometimes I have taken children from Sunday School classes to these sorts of nursing homes...how the duffers cry to hug and hold the children...Come sit on my lap and talk to me, sweetie...
All life and happiness are compromised by our fallen condition.
I've been told that I'm a machine.
My apologies for getting off topic....
I glanced at a tile saw in Lowes the other day and have been wanting to go back for it ever since. Will it cut rope tile on a 45? Thanks.
...now back to your regularly scheduled posting.
Yup! Difference is, I sing "It's a Small World, After All" while throwing grape jelly. Marmalade's tough to find sometimes. I see by your last line that you are thinking exactly the same thing I do.
Small world.
And you marry them hoping to be the same.
Wow!
Beautifully written.
Totally fooled ya, din't I?
Now get back in that lingerie and fetch me a beer, dammit. ;^)
Don't ever change, old friend....
