So here's the story of my life...

Of course it's biased. Any personal opinion is biased by definition. It still won't steer me wrong. You know how many married women have hit on me? You know how many married women at work come to me with their marital issues like I am some guru that can solve it just because I pick up on that something is wrong wiht them that night? There is WAY too much trouble that goes hand in hand with marriage. That never-ending circle of love thing you slip on your hand is more like a snake eating its own tail.

The only real reason to get married is if you want kids (and I don't), so that you can provide a balanced growth-period for that child. Humans have very long developmental stages and need that kind of stability/variety in their home environment as they mature. Other than that, why mess with marriage? If you like someone, move in and share bills and when its over, move out. If you life in a commonlaw state like mine, make sure you don't go over the deadline without a break in between or you may get screwed just the same.

The only reason Kenchan doesn't bitch is I bet he makes 6-figures well before october. Money changes everything.

but wouldn't his evil bloodsucking wife just steal all his money than

kids and marriage aren't for everyone. but i'm just saying the reason why shouldn't be b/c your dad married a witch who took half his money when they got divorced.

Who knows? I'm not Kenchan, I just bet he's making 6 figures if he's married and content.

Women aren't evil, per se, just relationships. A relationship isn't a good idea unless you have $$ to burn.

why do you assume that women don't make any money? another stereotype based on pussy whipped men who accept that their wife should go around shopping all day while they go to work. doesn't have to be that way.

my mom hasn't worked since i was born. Does that mean i think i shouldn't get married because i wouldn't want a wife who would do the same? no it means i' have learned from my experience, and came to the conclusion that when i get married, i want my wife to work.

Where did I say they don't make money? I never said that. Nor did I imply it.

The conclusion is that they want to buy a bunch of **** that I don't. It would be unfair to ask them to pay for all of it since I would get utility from it--even if I don't want to own it enough to buy it myself. I would get dragged into paying for a bunch of crap I don't want.

Jeffblue

you mean like... home decor? and serving platters that one will never use?

my mom comes and buys 'stuff for the house' that is supposedly for 'the house' but no one cares about it except her.

mom: 'look at this nice bowl i bought!'
dad:

That, and large expensive beds (can be up to $5K ), and things of that nature.

I live very simply. I rarely go out except to pump iron or shoot or shop.

I am a simple person and don't want that complicated.
