Find a woman who is willing to split the bill. I've never had a guy buy me a meal unless I did so first.
As for divorce, I know of two women who are currently paying their ex husbands alimony. The only reason men get screwed over in divorce is because they usually make a lot more than their ex wives. Find a woman that makes more than you, or an equal amount, and you probably won't get hosed in a divorce.
Yup.
My friend pays $3000 a month to her ex-husband who keeps all his employment off the books and lives with his gf but won't marry her so that he can keep getting the free cash.
If something goes wrong with the marriage then women almost always come out on top. They get houses that they don't pay for and money that they've never earned in many cases. Also, unless the woman is a serial killer or something she'll get the kids, too.

Diet and exercise probably have a much bigger impact on health than being married. I'll pass.
A friend of mine lost her house, which her parents paid for, to her now ex due to divorce. I see too many examples of this kind piling up on this thread to justify any generalizations about the system being unfair to men.
It is true that the woman get favored in divorces (most of the times). In MA, the court most of the times will give custody to the mother even if she screwed around and that the child would have a better stable life (as determined by the court social workers) with the dad. I don't know about other states.
The guy still has to provide child support even if the child is shared 50-50 and everything is paid 50-50 just because the dad makes more. Go figure.
Well not really. My title is misleading, but sort of in response to the Marriage, I just don't get it thread.
I can totally understand why some people decide to be single. For some people that is the way to go, but for others, not so much.
People who are married really don't question why a person chooses to be single. Now there are those people out there that may, don't get me wrong. We all know of the people who ask when you are going to get married, or if you are married, when you are going to have children. I know those people exist.
I am in a relationship right now and am a divorced woman, so I know what it is like to be married. Obviously there was something wrong in my marriage and that is why I am divorced but I tried pretty hard. We were together for 16 years.
I know some people think there is no reason in this day and age to be married, that it is merely a legal document and now you are in some kind of binding agreement and your life is going to hell in a handbasket.
For the people who are getting married, they obviously don't feel that way. Even as a divorced woman, I want to marry again. I want to be a wife. I want to have a husband. I don't care about his money. It will not end our sexlife. We won't be having any kids to steal our souls from us.
Those of us who are married or believe i the sanctity of marriage don't care if you are single and that is what you want to be. It is not even in question. It is not for all. Being a parent is not for all either....
I just don't get a woman choosing short hair either but there you go.
I am not wanting to boast about my long hair. Its MY choice to have it long and it doesn't mean Inferior.
IT JUST MEANS I CHOOSE TO HAVE LONG HAIR.
