Whats so great about marriage anyway?

Most of you seem bored and miserable, those that are "happily" married are so cos you are still banging each others brains out which is the minority so everyone else gets bitchy at you becuase your "marriage" is working out better than theirs.

And then there are all those that hide behind the word "marriage" even though everyone knows its a sham.


You've got everyone running around telling you of better character if you are married, and yet you're better off in business, the corporate world and socially if you have less attachments.

Everyone says marriage is about love and commitment, but they dont bother starting on that road until they've gotten to an age when they are too tired or bored to party anymore, or they fear they longer they leave they'll get stuck with a less hot partner.


I dont believe any of you

 

thank you for making much sense, I feel absolutely indifferent.

 

See the thing is, and this is coming from a happily married individual (who FYI does not get to bang the brains out of the missus as frequently as before), I don't think that married life is greater than single life. For me it's more a whatever-floats-your-boat kind of thing: some people are better off living the single life, some people (okay, maybe a lot) have no business getting married, some people actually manage to be happily married.

It's also important to note that happiness is rather relative: it's not a fixed thing (I'm happily married and we have no problems AT ALL - you know this is bullshit).

As for "better character", well... again experiences will vary.

Being married has been largely good for me: I'm happier, less miserable, more loving, etc. As for socially, well I've always been on the introverted side of the spectrum so marriage doesn't make that much of a difference. BUT somebody else might have a different experience - being married might make that one unhappy, more miserable, angrier, etc.

So again, it's different for everybody. The idea that marriage > single life is bullshit because sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. There's nothing absolute.

 

Have you thought about the possibility of marriages being just like the cocks you claim to love so much? There are the good ones and the not so good ones.
It's like everything. There's the good and the bad.

But there's something I agree with you on (for the 1st time and most likely the last): if there's one thing about some married couples with kids that is annoying is how they try to sell the idea that life is complete only after you've got married and had kids and until that happens you're immature and lead an empty life.

From my point of view both possibilities are valid. What is an accomplishment for Person A might be a burden for Person B and vice-versa, so to each their own.




P.S: Don't get the wrong impression, folks: to me it's the upper head that counts, not the lower one. Not a size queen

 

I love love. I love companionship. I find it important to have someone there for you, and to have someone you are there for.

I've known many couples who grew old together and loved each other till death. I've known of many that have died seemingly of a broken heart - and I think that's just mindblowing.

Therefore, I HATE a lot of the stigmas America has when it comes to marriage. That a person of a certain age should be married. That marriage is only for this or that person. That marriage is a requirement for moral sex.

They belittle the idea of marriage as a whole.

 

Well if marriage is such a life sucking proposition, why all the hoopla over gay marriage?
I would think you would be grateful that gay marriage isn't universally accepted.

 

Like most things, marriage is right for some and not for others. Simple huh?

 

True, but it's not only America. We have them here, too. Stigmas are universal.

 

Yes, but I spoke of American stigmas, because those are the ones I know.

 

Oy, just come out of the closet already

 

Debate is clearly not your forte...

 

You've only just cottoned on to that one, huh?

He's the biggest wise-ass on this site

 

We should have a mass debate

 

No closets I need to come out of. I'm happy and secure in my choices, are you? Don't sound like it.

Seriously though, in one thread you are complaining about gays not having the right to get married and want to champion that cause. A civil union isn't good enough, you want the right to be married.

Then you start a thread condemning the institution of marriage and proclaiming how stupid and calling it a sham. So do all those apply to gay marriage as well?

I am not trying to start some crap about gay marriage before anybody jumps on me about that.
Just pointing out the gross inconsistencies that VG tends to show in his viewpoints.

VG you really need to come to terms with your sexuality and stop trying to bolster your personal viewpoint by assailing opposing ones.

Like I said in another thread, a lot of homosexuals seem to have more issues with their sexuality then those they say are opposed to it.
You are illustrating that point very well.

 

are you saying he is an in denial strait man?

 

Ya never know.

 

I support straight peoples right to marry even though I think the concept for the most part becomes a broken dream.

I dont see what one has to do with the other.

Its like saying its a gross inconsistency to support peoples right to vote even though I may never vote, or that I might think voting doesnt change anything

As for opposition to gay marriage, besides all the other arguments, first and foremost, it just comes off sounding like a we-are-better-than-you type situation

 

go eat a vagina you strait, low life boob jockey

 

Those who I know who have what appears to be a successful marriage, do so as they still maintain a relationship. They work at it. They like each other. Amazing.

There seem to be some things they all have in common though. They have common goals but they also have individual time. They are not of the notion that they have their partners and need no one else or that one person should be everything. They seem to have balance.

They also have individual interests that are outside of their partners. Sometimes it is hobbies and sometimes friendships. It works for them.Marriage as per say is not the issue instead it is people get lazy and start to take their partners for granted.

That is what causes marriages to break down. We are idiots.

 

:iagree: And if the forums allowed me I'd be giving you rep points again!
