That's why your utopian way of life isn't possible and all we can realistically do is prevent the problems from overwhelming society.
Not getting a lady pregnant is not hard.

I would have sex with you if you would marry me.

I like your style.

I am a child whose parents divorced.

I would also not exist had the Vietnam War not occurred.

I'm flattered, or frightened - perhaps both.

But my mother always taught me "don't buy a pair of shoes before trying them on!" And this coming from a woman who did wait until marriage, and was (somewhat) regretful of that choice. Truth of the matter is, sexual compatibility is an important factor in a marriage/relationship. So what if you marry, and then find out you're not compatible? I guess a virgin wouldn't know any better, but might eventually wonder why their friends seem to have more fun - or why they have the urge to stray. Hmmm.

My parents are divorced too (see a trend with my above post?), but that's neither here nor there. I also wouldn't exist if the weather hadn't been cold that January evening, and my niece wouldn't exist if USC hadn't made it to the Rose Bowl that year. We're all just the result of good timing and a hearty swimmer/sperm, when you think about it.

Still doesn't mean divorce is a GOOD thing, and the less we see the better. Any potential children that may or may not have been conceived, if that poorly-matched couple hadn't married, wouldn't even be known to us. So who cares?

A girl I dated has divorced parents and they waited until marriage. Turns out her dad was gay. Yet another reason to try things out first. He was a pretty cool guy though.

There are plenty of likeminded women here, but it takes more than similarity in thinking to forge a lifetime relationship.

I live near L.A. because it is home - and a sense of home is hard to shake, even if it is sullied by liberalism.

I love my family(many members whom are liberal) and I love my homes(California and Washington).

Narcissism?

How about moralistic?

Here is the breakdown.
Friends with benefits - You are friends that have sex
Booty call/F. buddy - Call when you want booty
GF - relationship that, in my case, includes sex.
Friend zone - you are friends and want more, but one of you doesn't.
Baby momma - woman that had your kid and you may or may not currently have a relationship with her.
Wife - Someone you signed a contract with plus one of the previous.
