So I'm with my best friend at his bachelor's party dinner. Benjamin brings out several friends and all but one is married (the one who is not married technically is married, but he's going through divorce proceedings).

So I ask them, "gentlemen, so what are the 'traps' or 'problems' women give you when you are married?"

The answers were:

1. "They always ask you, 'is she prettier than me?'" And they are talking about women on TV, such as Kim Kardashian, Jenny McCarthy, or some other super-voluptuous celebrity/one-time Playboy Playmate/supermodel/etc etc etc.

A question, they say, for which there is no right answer. If you say "no," they accuse you of lying. If you say "yes," they get mad at you.

2. "They're irrational. They will find the dumbest and oddest reasons to get mad at you and yet they'll continue to be mad even if you show them you did nothing to earn their anger."

Case in point: one of the guys said that twice, his wife woke up extremely angry at him. He'd ask, "what's wrong?" She would say, "you cheated on me!" Only for her to then realize it was a ..... dream.

3. They go crazy on you. They wouldn't give examples, but they all said, "all women are crazy. If you think you met one who isn't, move in with her and you'll see it."

LOL... what a fun night.

(this is all what happened, ladies, and please note that this was posted in good fun. )

Speak about women like what?
They were asked questions, and they gave honest answers. How are those examples proof as to what married men deserve?

How does karma have to do with it? Being a married male is the bad karma?

What a load of horse$hit. The "traps" or "problems" or marriage are not this kind of trivial, sophomoric nonsense.

They are, rather, taking their partner for granted, not communicating, and being indifferent/uncaring about the needs of their partner.

Everyone's crazy in one area or another. Anyone who thinks they aren't is just crazy.

Yeah, this is all the cliche sitcom stuff. NOT ONCE did I ever ask my ex-husband, or anyone I dated, "Is she prettier than me?", so that stereotype always annoyed me. But my ex-husband never let me forget the time I said I thought Matthew Perry was cute. Jeez.

Also, the thing about getting angry about a dream happened with my parents. It was my father, who woke up angry at my mother for cheating on him in a dream, and remained in a mood for the first half of the day. And this was on Thanksgiving. How awkward.
