Why Men Are No Longer Willing To Marry.

[Badger]

its better than going into a relationship unprepared for a child and then having one and lets face it when a woman wants a "baby daddy" its fine but just because i want a child rather than a partner as a man its frowned upon sexism much

It's frowned upon, either way. Just harder to pull off for a guy. Adopt.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

Yeah...

You shouldn't have kids.

Yeah that's your opinion you can value it however I don't

 

[Steve Rogers]

Valentine's Day is popular. Be unexpected.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

 

[Badger]

She needs to say yes first, but thanks. You guys think a Valentine's Day proposal is romantic or lame? I'm trying to pick a good date to ask her.

It's not the day, but the why you do it. Make sure you get down on one knee.

Well of course. That goes without saying.

 

[Badger]

Well of course. That goes without saying.

You'd be surprised.

 

[Steve Rogers]

You'd be surprised.

LOL I had a feeling you were going to say that.

 

[The Squirrel]

I'm willing to marry.

Me too. I can't wait for it.

But that could be the sex talking.

So the only two options are:
a) Go into a relationship wanting love and unprepared for kids
b) Go into a relationship not wanting love and only wanting kids



And who said its "fine" for a woman to only want a kid out of the deal either? The only way that argument would work is if those of use who are saying you shouldn't have kids are the same ones saying its "fine" for a woman to go into a relationship just for a baby. And I'm pretty sure none of us in this thread have said that. Just because "society" gives you that impression doesn't make it the true opinion of the majority, or "right." You can't just pick generalizations out of thin air and apply them to people arguing against you.

Also, learn to use a f***ing period.

I use to be a server at a nice steakhouse when I was in college, so we'd get at least a few proposals every weekend. I've seen some real winners.

Gotcha.

I was proposed to at my favorite restaurant.

 

[terry78]

That would be why black men are no longer willing to marry. Oh no I did'ent!

Awesome. I proposed to my wife at a Bed & Breakfast in Mt. Vernon, IA.

Because marrage is a shame :

Do it in a McDonalds. She'll never see it coming.

Hide it in the big mac box!

 

[Danalys]

i'd be perfectly happy just to cohabit. if any legal reasons made this a worse option it should be laws that change and not my marital status.

 

[Iceman]

That was some seriously depressing reading

 

[Addendum]

I could see how some would be depressed by it. It just added more support for why I will never marry

 

[Iceman]

Some guys get to the age where they think they've made it - great wife, great kids, great house, money....then DIVORCE! - & you lose the lot!

 

[04nbod]

Why buy the cow if you can get the milk free? However there is no guy that will hold out for the vows!
On a divorce note it just goes to show you have to have a long courtship and know your partner inside out so you don't get swindled

 

[Danalys]

this is more like killing the bull then living of it's carcass for the rest of your life.

 

[rizzo51]

I'd love to get married, but even as a girl i'm a fan of the prenup. I don't want my property or hard earned money ending up paying for some floozys new **** and i'm sure he wouldnt want his hard earned money ending up buying me a pool boy for my summer home lol.

Iowa is the place for love. :heart:
