"Single people wish they were married. Married people wish they were dead". ---Benny HillI’ve never been married and when I look at some of the guys some women chose I kinda want to take as a compliment that they’ve never married me. LOL!
No alimony. No child support for worthless slacker kids. No heartbreak. The home I always wanted, paid for, and this "slavery" that is housework, well, I do my own joyfully and very adequately, thanks. Yeah, I'm a freak all right.
Hey, you look like my third husband!
How many times have you been married?
Two...
Yeah this was definitely written by a femnazi
Men it might take until their mid to late 30s to establish their careers (and in the process maybe move a lot more and work lots of overtime).
Meanwhile with women, men go for attractiveness and if no man wanted to marry them when they were young and pretty, well...................
I'll just put my asbestos suit and leave it at that
I’m over 40 and never married.
I’m no freak. Try finding a nice girl with traditional values, who hasn’t had relations with the entire fifth fleet, who is interested in starting a family.
I know any number of good men over 40 who are unmarried. All have good jobs, good values and they can not find a good woman.
Actually by today’s norms, -I- am the freak. Got married right after getting my BS degree from college at 22. Almost 30 years later, it just keeps getting better. Like they say - life begins when the kids move out & the dog dies (although the latter was quite sad :).
I am 42 years old and have never been married. Been engaged 3 times over a 20 year period. THREE TIMES. All of them, as soon as I gave them the ring, moved on to another guy. All three of them approached me to date, and all three talked about marriage without any prodding from me. Go figure.
After all that, two years ago I found a woman who was eight years older, conservative, officer in the local GOP. She pursued me too. I could not have loved a woman more. Got a promotion to a supervisor and decided she was now high society. Went running back to her ex who she’d divorced years earlier and who she’d turned down flat on getting back together just before we dated.
Told me to get out of her life, never speak to her again, and she regretted dating me. They fell thru and a month later she was back and all but demanded we get together, then went right back to her ex after I basically told her to go to hell.
I can’t tell you how many of my buddies have been thru crap like that. So many people get jerked around they just get their fill. I don’t care if I ever date again.
"Single people wish they were married. Married people wish they were dead". ---Benny HillTHe further on men and women are single, the harder it is for them to get married. They are used to living single and having everything their way. They have no experience living with other people that they can’t just move out on. They’ve never been truly vested in a relationship they can’t walk out on if stuff gets too bad. It is true they get set in their ways.
The execption, of course, is when two older people like each other, and they just happen to have living habits very closely mirroring each other.
I am 48 and have plenty of experience with compromise and I’ve done enough to know that I will compromise but that is going to be two way street. You give, I give.
I give up on stuff that ain’t important and you don’t unimportant things some stoopid imperative.
You tell me to do something and nothing is going to happen.
You ask me and not only will I do it I’ll probably do even more.
It is always cool to chase women, as a gentleman and understanding of boundries. Heck, women like to be chased. Why do they wear all them pretty clothes and smell good?
I harbor no issues. Just don’t care if I ever get married and if I do it won’t be state sanctioned. The tax benefits aren’t worth it.
I am pretty rigid about being told what to or that I can’t pursue my dreams or just day to day activities. I wasn’t put on this earth so you can subordinate my life to yours.
It’s that equality thing. Don’t ruin it. I’ll give you plenty of room to do your thing and we do lots of things together, even shop.
Singles’ ping!
All of this chat is nonsense. Just read Pat Buchanan’s book “The Death of the West”.
Married 2 days after my 18th birthday and a gradfather at the age of 40 and considered a freak by many of my friends :o). Who’s to say what a freak is?
Did you ever consider I may just be really butt ugly?
I was 34 ...Got married in Tokyo to the one and only wife of my life ...Some of my male friends’ wives in the States used to suspect I was gay just because I was not married ...Ironic now that I think about it ...the ones that did suspect are all divorced now ...We’ll be celebrating our 25th next Feb.
What if you’ve been married four times?
(Rhetorical question!)
Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
Shouldn't that be the other way around? Namely: 35 for women and 40 for men? After all, biology is destiny. The author has apparently never heard the expression "shelf-life."
A man could reasonably argue that, stereotypically, going to college (and studying seriously), making a career, and accumulating the necessary wealth to support a family have delayed his entrance to the "market."
A woman who has waited until menopause has (almost) set in, however, obviously has "issues," since the delay will have significantly degraded one of her primary functions.
Regards,
If I want companionship I’ll buy a dog. They cost less than a wife and no one really cares if you take it out to the woods and shoot it, as long as you have a good reason.
heh. I was married at 45.
