Totally opposite here, married life rid me of scruffy looks into frequent grooming and staying fit. In one year after the wedding lost 35 pounds to my ideal height/weight ratio.
I've been married, I've been single. It hasn't affected my LACK of desire for taking risks. I wasn't that "aggressive" or maybe you're thinking "ambitious" either way. The only thing that changed when I was married was more personal conflict at home.
I have actually become more of a risk taker and prolly more prone to be agressive since being married and having kids. we live out side of town with very few neighbors, and if my wife or kids hears something in the night , I'm out the door in the middle of the night with a baseball bat, wearing only my underwear. I used to be known as a layed back guy, but now if someone hurt my wife or kids I would gladly sit in prison for a few years to get them back. I think it's an attitude that changes as your kids get old enough to protect them selves, I used to be afraid snakes untill my nine year old son saw one and asked me to catch it for him. I did'nt want to hand down my fears to him so I grabed it for him. 10 years later (not too long ago) he sent me a picture of him holding what looks like a 5-6 foot snake with a big smile on his face. I could of never done that when I was his age.

Aggressive in what sense of the word? From a biz standpoint, I'd say no. From a personal standpoint, I'd say no. If anything, I think I've become a little more assertive over the years, not less. However, I've been much less strident.
I gotta cut this out. I have a deadline in an hour.

Sorry to butt in, but I just wanted to comment here.
Cool to know that this does happen to a few guys. It sure happened to me...I did something I'd never in a million years think I would do, when I felt my infant son had been threatened. Later I was flabbergasted by how that innate protection-mode overtook me.
It's different for me, because my career has taken me down a different path and made me quite a bit rougher. My girlfriend and I have grown apart somewhat.

My question for all you guys who are married or in long LONG term relationships do you all feel that you have lost your aggressive edge now that you have the women?
You know what I mean, do you find yourself taking less risk or finding your self less rough and aggressive?
I'm not sure what you mean by rough and aggressive? Please clarify.
Seriously though, I want to stay fit, cleaned-up....basically take care of myself so that my SO wants to do the same AND still gets hot for me. If both partners are working on that aspect of their relationship (and the others) it will make things very good.
If you meant sexually...well, I take things slow and find out what my partner likes. There are certain things one gal might love and another might hate...no way I'm going to be able to meet any more adventurous or specialized needs until that comes out over time. So yes, things probably get a little rougher\aggressive in this area over time...but not in a bad way.
Sam Kinison, the comedien had a routine where he asked after the Chernobyl Nuclear reactor disaster, "What kind of guys are crazy enough to go into a Nuclear Reactor that has melted down?"
Married guys , they 'er already living in hell
hmmm I'm aggressively working more with dangerous power tools now since I have a long honey-do list
