As a man you should avoid falling in love at all costs. Love is a female trait.

No...you can't. You can't predict what's going to happen in your marriage 5, 10, 20 or 30 years from now.

At best, you're making a guestimate and hoping shyt doesn't go left.

You call people butthurt. To me you sound inexperienced and naive. You really think you know better than the millions of men that tried and got divorced. They all were wrong, huh? Or did things change as their marriage went on? Like I said...naive.

Call me naive but I'll seen it with my own eyes gparents been married for 60 years. The woman I'm with now known since we was 15. Rocked with each other when we ain't have no car. Struggling to go to college working 2 jobs held each other down and built each other up. Both finished school and doing great with a kid on the way. We let each other grow as a person and in turn that made us grow together. Nobody can promise what happens in the future but that's what makes life. If you to scared and closed minded to live it good or bad then idk what you doing

I disagree. you can definitely pick the right woman for you. She might not be a dime or as slim of big as you might like in ya head but you can pick someone that's compatible to you in most aspects. Nobody is perfect but a lot of y'all sound butt hurt.

You can pick the right jurisdiction if you want a successful marriage.

Western women view divorce as a societal norm and the court system goes out of it's
way to f*ck men in the butthole with an acidic sandpaper dildo .

Being prudent and pragmatic isn't butt hurt... it's smart.

I'm not risking my mental, financial and physical health for no woman unless the ROI is in my favor

 

[Chrishaune]

I would say as a man it's good to be strategic with your love.......

My grandparents were married from 1951 to 2003 when my pop pop died. My grandma used to have my pop pop dinner in the microwave hot when he got home. He worked hard to raise 7 kids with her. He paid off the house that my grandmom still lives in and she doesn't have to worry for anything in old age because he took care of her. But....that was then. IMO, these chicks ain't built like that no more. There was no no-fault divorce before. You had to work through your problems. Now, you can get divorced for anything, which means, it's not a question about picking the right woman or not. At best, you're rolling the dice. The entire institution is flawed with court decisions skewing heavily towards the woman's favor. In 2017, you're making the costly bet that a woman is going to love you for 50 years (50 very long years) and choose to stay with you during the difficult times that will inevitably happen when it's much, much easier to leave you and take everything you got. Good luck.

As a man you should stop giving people shytty advice to make up for your shortcomings. Bytch ass nikka.

You're talking a whole lot of nothing.

What are my shortcomings?

Marriage is a sham, yet I don't want to be 50 years old and regret not starting a family. I'm so conflicted..

Considering all the duties and responsibilities in starting a family, you really think you would regret that?
