A big chunk of the middle east(even though both parties have the right to divorce) the culture puts enough of a stigma on it that it's pretty much not gonna happen.

Though our best bet would be some kind of "marriage insurance".

Sorry, cyphorx, but if a man says he wishes for some guarantee that a woman won't divorce him, all I hear is, "I want to be able to treat her like poop and there's nothing she can do about it." A plea to never be held accountable for one's actions in a relationship, even if you demand that your partner conform utterly to your needs at all times.

"She needs to meet my needs, and she must only ever need what I want to give." In other words, it's all about me, and then, it's also all about me. My feelings are about me, and her feelings are about me. Everything is about me.

You'd think you want to please her and make her happy, and that is still also all about you. It's the "she better only need what the ideal picture of a relationship looks like to me." No family, no friends, no "outside influences" and no way out.

Do you not see why that would look pretty terrifying to most (human) woman?

Okay, so buy a wife from the Middle East. (shrug)

Not watching the vid, it seems like it's probably pretty irrelevant. I automatically see a chick with cancer and a meth addiction on the still so I know what I'm in for, more weirdness.

What's with all the constant neverending vid spamming? Are you trying to get your YT clicks up or something?

You should watch it--there are charming vignettes about a woman forced to have liposuction, a man who ran away from his wife and children because he didn't get laid enough, and a guy who murdered his wife and made it look like an accident. Really well-adjusted stuff going on.

Yeah, heard a little and was grossed.

You may be surprised to know I don't view this as male or female(many other things I do), like I've said before, like grandma said"what it takes to get em it takes to keep em". this is one of the few area's that men AND women are guilty of. If I am sweet, caring and attentive when I start dating you then over time I become an emotionally distant workaholic who takes you for granted you have every right to feel misled. why? because I switched out scripts in the 2nd act. If I am getting down on one knee, and offering to give you my fathers last name and share my life with you IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE WHO YOU ARE!! and if you accept hopefully it means you love who I am, but the idea is to match with someone who want's the same things out of a relationship. sadly someone in the relationship often changes the script, often people get divorced not because they did something to deserve it but for the crime of being the person the leaving partner fell in love with. I would never dream of leaving someone because they haven't changed, because if I married them it's because they were who I wanted and I couldn't see myself with anyone else.

I was just giving an example of a culture where divorce is rare because that's what you asked, I don't agree with the whole "mail order bride" thing, I grew up military so I have seen it go wrong way to often, often they are the perfect wives UNTIL they start to learn our culture then they become Americanized and adopt the traits these guys were trying to escape from in the first place but on steroids. many of these guys don't understand that the only reason women in some cultures are "their idea mate" is because they live in male dominated cultures that have been that way for thousands of years and keeps a firm grip on the way things are. take an attractive woman out of that environment and bringing to the west where she has freedoms she has never had before is a bit like sending a 6 year old into a candystore with a fist full of hundreds.

It's just satire, you've read my posts just the fact that I made the vid to look like a commercial should tell you I don't agree with it(I'm against commercialism, I'm pretty much a socialist).

And vids and memes are just a way I express ideas.
But not all my art is sad I can make happy photos also.

Is that last picture supposed to be happy or sad? I hope it is supposed to be sad because I see a woman in a room with a broken window who looks like she is well under 100 pounds. She looks like she needs a warm place to stay and several hot meals.

So, Cyph, do you feel like you're making progress in your therapy sessions? How's that coming along?

Why do you guys equate thin and toned with someone going hungry, having cancer or being on meth?


I personally know women who work out and still eat, in fact they often eat more calories a day than the average person. you know how they say you would have to run 26 miles to burn off that cheesburger? well some people actually do that.



I'm athletic(I lift weights and jog/cycle 20+ miles every other night) I like athletic women, I also find tatts and wild hair colors on women attractive(especially if they are close to my age and still haven't sold out), in my art I'm just combining the 2.
