        Seems not getting married favors the men in a relationship more than the women. But I’m happy people are discovering what works for them.

          Not really, no. Married men live longer than unmarried ones on average and widows live longer than widowers.

          Then again, that’s just the average and every marriage is different from others. Except those of Larry King. Those were same.

            Who is thinking that long term? Oooh, I want to get married because when I’m old and senile with brittle bones and no longer have my independence, I’ll get to sit in misery in the nursing home four extra years. Yeah, that argument doesn’t work.

            In the short term, men on average have more income and are more likely to spend it on Instant gratification. I can see how it would look tempting.

      I’m certain it’s much higher than 20 years ago but 80% is a huge stretch. The majority of the people I know in their 30s are married.

    See a woman with this shirt

    Squint and stare intently at her chest

    Put on glasses

    Continue staring at her chest

    I have dyslexia

    As a guy, I don’t think I’d consider marrying a woman that even owns that shit, even if she had a great personality and aestheticly pleasing body. My wife would probably be pretty angry if I did.

    ETA: The shirt is a bit verbose but a good turnabout on the shitty, sexist boomer humor original.

    Yup that’s what happens when morons marry to get laid.

    There is more to a relationship then having sex.

    I mean, if you honestly believe the only reason to get married (whether your a man or a woman) is for the sex, then I fully support your decision to avoid it.

      Certainly not the only reason, but its really nice to be with someone you’ve emotionally bonded with sleeping next to you every night, rather than just playing drunk people lottery at the singles bar.

      Sex with a person you’re in love with is… really good. And you’re not going to be in your 20s forever, so you might as well find someone you enjoy being around when you’re not naked while you’re springing from one mattress to another.

        Even when I was in my slutty phase, enjoying being around a woman while not in the nip was a requirement. Everything is better when you can relate to one another.

    Putting aside the weirdness of human relationships this implies, I can’t get over the idea that women are stealing in at the dead of night, killing a whole pig, and they taking like a very small amount of meat to make a sausage. Like you can absolutely milk a cow and it will have more milk, this feels like a completely different level.
