I'm also not sure what grave consequences there are unless I play unsafely.
I'm 35, and it happened for me last year.

The consequences I was referring to are the laundry list of unexpected rules and requirements that get foisted upon you in a committed sexual relationship. Things like giving up your hobbies, being on guard 24/7, etc. Not worth it.

Huh, I didn't run into that, but I mostly dated people that shared my hobbies in my 30s. I don't know what you mean by being on guard.

It means being very careful not to get in the doghouse.

*sigh*

Again.

Yeah, our dear friend MillennialUrbanist believes that as soon as you consent to be in a relationship with a woman, especially if you make the dire error of marrying one, she transforms into Sister Hitler Marie and sells all of your toys and hits your knuckles with a ruler if you suggest you want to go drink with your guy friends.

This is because his male friends who got married no longer hang out with him, and they have told them it is due to their dictatorial wives. There is absolutely no possibility whatsoever that this is an excuse, and they simply prefer to stay home rather than go out on the town with their old buddy Urbanist.

Also sitcoms.

No number of people who come along and tell him that this isn't how our relationships work, and we both happily do whatever the hell we want and neither of us prevents the other from having hobbies or being social or anything, will convince Millennial Urbanist, that being with a woman is anything other than some kind of a Al and Peggy Bundy situation.

That about sum it up?

I don't even think that's what they've told him. He just assumes that no one could possibly be happy being in a relationship, so his friends not being as available to him must be the wives crushing the dudes' free will.

THE DOGHOUSE IS A LIE.

THERE IS NO DOGHOUSE. THE DOGHOUSE EXISTS ONLY IN YOUR MIND.

Like spoons. Dude. Only for actual real.

Sell your TV. Make better friends. The world is not as you have perceived it.

Seriously was your Mom overbearing? Did she make you sleep in an actual dog house? I just can't imagine knowing enough people cowed by totally dominant women that this would even make sense to be afraid of.

Yet despite being argued out of it 100-million-bajillion times you just keep coming back to it. It's so...strange...

If you keep a minibar in the dog house it's not that bad.
