    levi.......MY mother asked me if i had become a lesbian just because its been a while since my serious relationship ended and im not interested in dating! i swear its like, if you are a women in getting into her twenties and you are single and not actively "looking" for a partner....its like people wonder whats wrong with you. its like no one can just understand thats its not that complicated......i dont need someone in my life to be complete. if someone comes along....hey thats great.....but i dont really think about it. hmmmm......maybe im the weird one?

    No seriously, people don't complete your personality. Your the correct one, and they are brainwashed.

    *yawns*

    This discussion is full of overzealous generalizations for the numerous reasons why women marry. I find all of these personal reasons and stories rather speculate and fervently judgemental to the nature of relationships.

    My grandma thought I was a lesbian in highschool because I didn't wear makeup. People are silly.

    When I needed someone to watch my kids so that I could take a cab to the hospital emergency room and I called my mom to see if she knew where my bro was she said, "Well, if you had just let so-and-so move in with you he could've taken you to the hospital. That's your problem now."

    So, apparently, if I burn my hand severely, I am not entitled to medical attention because I chose not to be with a controlling, jealous freak with no life of his own. Silly me. :rolleyes: I'd still rather be alone than with him.

    Seriously, these generalisations about women are getting pretty tiresome. Some women are pretty psycho. I think everyone knows this already. Thankfully, we only have a handful of those type of psychos on this site, and most of them don't post very often.

    Meanwhile, in talking about how psycho MOST women are, some of the women on this site probably feel at least a tad bit bashed. I mean, come on. We post here alot, and would think our personalities shine through, and then people come on and talk about how most women are money-grubbing little psychos. Not every woman on this site can be in the minority.

    Men aren't exempt from this either. I swear over the past five years a month doesn't go by that my mother doesn't ask if I've found someone and when I was seeing someone, she was always wondering if it might lead to marriage. She thinks its weird that to a certain degree, I tend to be much happier when I'm single than when I'm seeing someone.

    Oh well, maybe someday someone will come and sweep me off my feet and I'll feel different, but I honestly don't think about it much at all. I definitely don't need someone in my life to be complete either

    true. but i think that generally when a man stays single well into his adulthood...even into his 40's......people will look at that and say "oh hes a just the bachelor type....doens't want to settle down." ive known several men like this and everyone actually gave them "props" (for lack of a better word) for not having gotten stuck in some marriage with a nagging wife. like they are loving the single life and that's cool...which it is. but if a women is in her forties and never been married or not interested in dating...people wonder if either she's a closet lesbian or they just cant figure out what the hell could be wrong with her. thats been my experiance.

    Well, duh....

    Marraige for a man = wearing a rented suit in a very expensive ceremony in which the bride is the center of attention (after being showered with gifts by her friends). She gets the legal right to own her man in perpetuity, financially. She can basically count on him to support her for a lifetime (whether married or not) which takes the pressure off for her to be nice to him. She'll rapidly get rid of his friends, hobbies and interests and turn him into a domesticated chauffeur and gardener which she'll then get bored with and leave.

    Marraige for women = big diamond ring present, bridal shower presents, daddy buys a nice dress, man picks you up in his arms and takes you into new home, you now own half his property.

    So, if a guy is single into adulthood, it means he's not interested in hassles.

    If a woman is single well into adulthood, well, I mean, what's her problem? That's like someone turning down free ice cream. Are you allergic to dairy?

    I resent the above 2 posts.

    In my extended family on both sides, every woman in a relationship with a man makes more money than the man does all the way down to my sister starting at my grandparents, on my mother's side (not my old man's dad.)

    I also know plenty of older women that aren't married. I'm beginning to think your posts are pity grabs and attention seeking.

    I'm really tired of "that isn't me so therefore you're wrong".

    I can play that game too.

    "I don't drink beer, in fact I don't drink beer at all, so obviously no men drink beer, and any jokes about men drinking beer are just sexist attacks on men."

    JESUS

    no, since drinking beer isn't an insult unless you're a recovering alcoolic.

    well since your posts dont say "some" women....you are generalizing all of them, which would be just as wrong as saying all men are beer drinking, football watching........you get the point. obvioulsy not all men are and obviously not all women are the kind of "wife" you seem to resent.

    actually every women in my family has made more money than the men too.

    and i hate diamonds. i dont suport the diamond industry.
