Be 29 soon and i won't marry til i find an incredible 10. I'm extremely picky anyway so i doubt it ever happens. I'm thinking since i still look 21 and by the time i'm 40, will probably look my age now, i'll nab a hot 18 year old girl and marry her for youth and looks instead of love. My grandpa was 20 years older than my grandma. They had 14 kids(2 more that died young). Although this was Mexico, so she was 15 years old i believe, or 16. But, anyway, i'll probably go this route with only 3-5 kids at most.
I'm 27. Have'nt married and don't have kids. But I'm Mexican and in Mexican years that's considered freaking old. It gets borderline annoying sometimes when my family and people who knew me as a child assume that I have'nt 'lived' just because I haven't done those two things.
Wow this thread was nuts!! Batman Jones seemed to take a vacation around this time. The baby pic though.. ****ing hilarious. I actually thought about that pic a few weeks back and couldn't remember the specific thread it was in. That was priceless.
Not over 30 but, simply because I live in a society that expects me to accept the fact that it's natural and perfectly fine for a woman to have a "back up husband" should the marriage fail, while still supposedly being "happily married" to me... All the while being vulnerable to a legal system, should a divorce occur, that tends to heavily favor the woman more often than not, even if the divorce is caused and initiated by her... all because of the interpersonal make-up of our species' primal past, and the popular ruse of equality where a continuing double-standard (it's not okay for males to keep multiple mates, however much their primal drive may say otherwise for example) reduces it to merely a subject whose real goal is that of personal "civil" convenience depending on the situation than of actual parity... It just seems archaic, primitive, and downright absurd... for me to even entertain the possibility... For what's suppose to be a profound symbol of one's examined deep impassioned admiration for/devotion towards another human being... certainly comes off more like an emotionally vacant business arrangement... an unwise frivolous one at that...
Classic thread. bigtexxx delivered. BJ going nuts, rocketsjudoka trying to act all reasonable, moestavern trying to act like an internet tough guy once again...funny.
that's pretty deep, which is why a lot of people choose not to go through with the whole official marriage thing while still staying with their partners and have kids. anyway, I think the bump is more about Bigtexx's creepy doll and Batman Jones going crazy
Don't do it until you're ready. Too many people jump into it coz they think they have to. Eventually you'll have money issues, children issues, house issues, sex issues. Next thing you know, you're heading for divorce. Take your time, find the right lady.
A month shy of 29 and never married. I was way too immature for a committed relationship up until a couple years ago. But that doesn't mean I'll find the one. I really do want to find my soulmate. Someone who can make me smile and laugh and be happy. Someone who can comfort my fears and anxiety. I hope to be that kind of person too. But now I need to wipe my ass and get back to work.
I think its fine if a guy is not married at 30, we usually have to be the main provider once you have a family so we prepare for it. At least that's how i approach it... I think women should be worried if there not married by 30 and guys should be worried after 40. But im not sure I change my mind every year:grin:
I really have zero desire to get married. Seems like that entire system has been set up to disfavor men. Probably going to have to do it eventually though. Hard to find a woman who is OK going without, especially when raising a family. My pre-nup is going to be longer than a receipt from CVS.
I think the longer you wait the harder it will be. You're more established in your habits. You're more established in your career. Basically, you have more of 'stuff' that will have to be shared or compromised. I met my wife when I was a loser college student and it was her persistence that pushed me in the right direction and got me to where I am now. However, if I were to start dating now it would be so hard. So many other things to consider at this point in my life.
