Marriage Now More Important to Men Than It Is to Women

[Mr. Jeeves]

By high school she was counting off the exact number of days till he’d graduate and she’d be free of him. Irony of all ironies: she died a week before his h.s. graduation.

Tell me he joined the Marines after graduation? It would be the perfect coda... :)

“A new survey suggests ......”

Surveys “suggest” many things. LOL

In 3 more days, I will have had the pleasure of being married to my bride for 41 wonderful years. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world.

When we met, I had every intention of being single forever. She wasn’t the least bit interested in me. Poof.... things changed. LOL

She remains beautiful inside and out. God gave me an angel and He gave her a full-time job....me.

We raised 2 wonderful children, a daughter and a son, and we now have 8 amazing grandchildren.

She has been at my deathbed a couple of times and helped to bring me back. She helped me to become a success at many things in life.

If she were to pass before me, I doubt that I would last for more than 30 days. Not because I couldn’t take care of myself, but because living without her simply wouldn’t be worth the bother.

When I look into her eyes, I still see that vibrant 20 year old gal that I fell in love with at first sight.

People can “survey” all they want, it’s either magic... or it’s not.

Then they can go and look for their “true love”,

You think like a man. Women don't get divorced to find their true love. they get divorced "to find themselves." Big difference.

[Boogieman]

Not a difference I could care much about, as it’s just plain selfishness either way.

[Revolting cat!]

That’s because women are evil.

[Salvation]

BTTT!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Women lie to get what they want...men.

Men lie to get ewhat they want....inside women.

Run the responses to this study through that filter and the study makes perfect sense.

"What does a man do Walter? A man provides for his family. And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it. Because he's a man."

―Gustavo Fring^[src]

Through history men want successors. A biological imperative that is simple and straightforward. Do these successors pan out? The answer is no in this day and age. I am averaging out here. Of course there are exceptions

RE :”I knew a professional woman who purposely became pregnant as the bio time clock was about to go off. No one I’ve ever met was less suited for motherhood. She took her son to every museum and art gallery but never to a sporting event. Never signed him up for any kind of team or scouts, nor did she ever teach him about cleaning up after himself. The end product was a mess.”

That is the woman I know I been posting about.
She did it in her late 30s
They go on lots of vacations together no men. (She is hetrosexual for sure too)
