Because the alternative to getting married is watching football and they don't like football.

I think it's because men don't make good, intimate friends with each other. Close connection is needed by people and I suspect that most men get that from their wives and not their buddies. It's not the same with women where friendships can be quite emotionally intimate.

They are PRESSURED into marriage, and manipulated since day 1 of marriage. Reality trumps BS.

I LOVE the Pats. My bf hold season tickets out in Indy. My husband hates football.

Right, because men are just too stupid to think for themselves and too weak-willed to manage their fate.

And that is exactly why the DC area economy and public schools are strong and why Florida is.........Florida.

DC is one of the richest cities in the country and has one of the worst public school systems in the country. Just saying

If it makes you feel better to believe that the only men that get married have been pressured and manipulated into doing so - that's totally fine. But that's not reality.

Oh who cares. Most divorced women get dick squat from their useless ex husbands. You are talking about a minority and they are mainly rich. Talk to the average person on the street and they will have a different story from the one you are crowing about.

If that's the case then they are STUPID FOOLS.

Is that how men are? Is that what you are telling us?
