Get me off this planet now please.
Dating coaches have been around a long time. Nothing wrong with it, but not all dating coaches are ethical.

Lol, what?

Definitely not true.

Sound like something out of a sitcom to me. An American one, not a good one.

If they bolt after two years, they can’t be too concerned or care about making your life fabulous just because of the lack of a government issued paper eh?

That is just one person's opinion.


Most smart women won't wait 5 to 10 years for a proposal. They will move on.

If they were on to a good thing and the relationship was one of those few that either met or exceeded their expectations, would a proposal even matter? Much better to enjoy something for what it is than put it on some arbitrary schedule.

This makes sense to me



I don't understand why, but I do understand that a legal marriage if of very high importance to some people.

Me and my wife moved in together at year 6 and got married at year 7. She was is/was attractive, smart and studying for her PhD at the time so I’m sure she could have had plenty of options if she chose.

Everyone is different. Get married when you’re both ready, not a day before.

Some would, but not all (in my experience).

The best is when both parties want to marry at a specific time.

That sounds like a male point of view. Women are looking at two years, and then it's time to buy in or move on. You will be left with nothing more than the woman you couldn't get rid of even if you wanted to.
