Seriously, if you don't get married, what are you planning to do?
- Thread starter Klyk21
- Start date
So technically its already 100% 
But im just pullin your strings, it's probably lower, but the rate is high enough because of woman's rights allowing them to have the same careers as men. So its less likely they want to settle down in their 20's.
So what's the difference? Its still marriage isn't it whether its your first, second, third, fourth fifth
[QUOTE="Ohnoits, post: 9888926, member: 5338"]I did learn recently that this often cited stat is actually flawed because they polled couples who were already on their second marriage. Couples who were married more than once are 50% more likely to get a divorce, whereas couples who married only one partner had a lower divorce rate. I will have to see if I can find the article...but thought it was interesting.[/QUOTE]

I'd think most long term single people are tired and want to settle down and call it a day, but some have trust issues they simply cannot get past. They are not just going to dive in blind like that. especially after living the single life for so long and seeing some unbelievable shyt that will make you question everything about human beings.A lot of divorcees swear they're done with marriage, a lot of un married people have seen even worse trauma and couldnt imagine being chained to someone legally.

Did they have kids or no? Describe her personality a little if you dont mindThis woman at work was talking to this other female coworker about how she couldn't find a man after dating her ex for 16 years.
This broad dated a dude for 16 years and got nothing.
She was like "well I'm hanging out with this new guy now just to see what happens"
I could see in her eyes she already knew it may as well be over.

The biggest problem with the bolded above is that you presume that happiness stems from having children and a wife.
It implies that anyone who doesn't have kids or isn't married is miserable.
Not only is that patently false, it's borderline insulting.
I'm probably going to die a lonely, bitter old man.
Nah they don't have kids. She's a white woman, but not one of those Starbucks white women, she's one of those type of white women that wears a shawl when it gets cool outside, she's an office worker personality type, introverted but not mouse like.
She's bony as hell though, probably 110lbs at most and she's like 5'5. She looks aged in the face and arms too.
Marriage really is like letting the Government into your heart and bedroom, and will be right there to make sure you split everything according to the law, and not the relationship, I've been saying this for a minute, it's a legal term for what should be a matter of heart, emotion and trust. You can do the ceremony, the rings, but all the legal obligations?
And, as much as I like repeating that, as both a romantic and ruthlessly pragmatic person, if you stay with a person, without being legally married and start mingling finances and having children, and buying houses, you are potentially leaving yourself open to some very negative consequences. Also, marriage has the tax benefits, and if you live with someone for more then 10 years, they are considered your common law wife.
So, if you intend to trust someone with not only emotions, but your finances, there is really limited protection for a fallout either way, it's all about who you trust and how you trust them. To me, that is the sad reality, you have to acknowledge that and move accordingly.

Im really not sure how you could find that insulting when its the standard in our society. Im not saying you wont be happy without kids but you may feel a bit incomplete. All those years of fukking random broads and not one of them is with you at that moment in life when you realize " im too old for this shyt". Do you honestly see yourself alone, having loads of money but no kids and or wife and living like hugh hefner? Thats what you want? Or is that what you wouldnt mind....The biggest problem with the bolded above is that you presume that happiness stems from having children and a wife.

Most of us will end up married, its just the way it is. nikkaz gonna try to be cool on the message boards talking all that anti marriage stuff but opinions and values change. Who you were today is not who you were five years ago and not who you will be in 5 years.
The key is to live a good single life and then get married to a good woman in your early thirties but thats just my opinion
