I never said I don't like sex. I do but not right away nor in 1 month. I like taking my own time and developing a deep connection and later on begin to get interested in more than kissing.

That's exactly what I've just posted. I guess an asexual man would be the better option since Mr Religious is sure going to ask for kids afterward. I'm a different type of woman. Atheist but not willing to have quick sex (some confuse this for not having a sex drive, I do but I don't like doing it without at least some time passing by) nor wants kids.

So he's expected to stay with you after sleeping with you? That's effectively your counterargument.

Nobody is expected to do anything. But just as you'd get upset from being pump and dumped, many men might get upset at being "made to wait". As always, it goes both ways.

But yes, very few men share your views. Not "none", but very few.

In a way, I'm starting to think it kind of represents reality and more people are brutally honest on forums than they would in real life.

If you read my previous posts, it seems like I only have those two options I've just mentioned. Otherwise, yes what I'm looking for are indeed the rare breeds which is sad so I'm right now feeling doomed.

I know two women who pay child support to their exes. Women don't automatically get custody, especially when the father asks for it--which is a fraction of the time.

It's unfortunate, but them's the breaks. Sometimes a quality that we hold very dearly just happens to be very rare. As it happens, I like VERY tall women, as I'm very tall myself. If I held myself to just those women, I'd have a VERY limited dating pool.

As long as they exist that's all that matters to me (even if it's little; at least it's better than zero). I'm not settling for what I'm not looking. I'm keeping up with that quality and will not compromise.

You can do the same too and not compromise. If you go to Netherlands, Germany, The Alps, etc you'll find those very tall women.

I have been in 3 committed relationships and married once. The first 2 guys proposed marriage, and I got engaged to the first and then ended it. I said no to the second guy.
The third guy and I dated for many years before getting married. I only plan on being married once, so I wanted to be careful.

I don't need a man to take care of me, even though I am only a teacher who makes low pay. I am not with my husband because he makes good money. In fact, I paid 50/50 for everything before we got married.

Some men want marriage, and some men don't. The same can be said of women.

I think people need to realize that men are the party who has everything to lose while women are the only group who has anything to gain. This is assuming that the woman is hypergamous - dates men who are better than her - and, most are.

I can't understand how a guy is expected to sign a lopsided contract with someone who makes less, therefore not offering as much as he does.

Sure, people say "men need to grow up and stop fearing commitment," but seeing as women initiate two-thirds of divorces, maybe they need the lecture in commitment.

Seeing as marriage is dying, kind of like chivalry, why do you feel entitled to it (especially after only a few years)?
Your entitled to your opinion but you should state it as such. You really need to educate yourself on marriage and divorce before making broad unsubstantiated statements.

If you don't want to get married don't.
