Rainman, I have also been married before..twice. Once to a beautiful girl from my hometown who refused to move with my career to NoDak. Couldn't blame her. Second to a gorgeous little Farrah Faucet clone from Bismark. Total time in committed relationships: 22 months.
I have always had a great time with the ladies and only started P4p in my mid-fifities when the under 35 crowd became more effort than I want to expend. As for my take on marriage:
- Marriage is a great institution for making and raising offspring. It was designed to continue to provide for the woman and spawn after the old man is gone. It works well in that mode but really provides nothing positive for the man except a ready receptacle for his paycheck, IMHO.
- Look at the statistics. Something like 65+% of marriages end in divorce. Of those who remain married, a large percentage say they are there for the spawn, if not for them the men would move on. Who knows how many have just given up on their lives and live each day in their own private "yes, dear" hell?
- If one is masochistic enough to buy into the whole "'til death do us part" scam, why is marrying a puta any different than marrying some chica who has only phucked for dinner and movies or clothes or rent or that new car? They are still trading their fanny for finery and anyone who does not see that is deluding themselves, IMHO.
- Yes, it is easy to convince yourself that she
LOVES you. Try explaining that you are virtually penniless and she can expect to live on your SS check and whatever else you can scrape together, together. Guess what? You are not nearly as attractive as you thought.
It's still all about the money, or less pragmatically, it is about your ability to provide for her.
- Delude yourself if you must, but men get the hottest girl they can afford and women get the richest man they can attract. Why we must believe that it is about "love" is beyond me. My best friend for fourty years just finished his
fifth marriage. He has spawn with three of them and has paid an average of $60,000 a year in Ch*ld support and vaginamony. He is a girl's dream: He "loves" them, marries them, has offspring with them and continues to pay the bills while they lay their fat asses on the couch eating Bonn Bonns and harassing him if their "payment" is late.
The game is fixed but play if you must. I'll watch the fire and hang around to buy you a drink when you crash and, of course, to say "I told you so...".
