[ARCHIVED THREAD] - So I was at a get-together tonight (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 9/6/2004 8:58:47 PM EDT

A church social if you will at someone's home. Guys and girls were present. Got into a discussion with a couple of women there. Me and a guy and those two females. One of them proclaim point blank, "You men are too comfortable being alone. You don't want to marry us."

Seems a little frustration was showing through.

Why buy the car if you can get a lease?

Oh man that is true. That was a big problem in my marriage. I liked being alone and I didn't "need" her. Personally, I don't think I'll ever get married again.

Thank you porn.

Well.....duh!

Of course we're comfortable.

We can be as neat or as messy as we want. We can leave partially finished projects laying around wherever we quit working on them We don't have to buy three closets worth of clothes. We have more money for said projects. We....

you get the picture.

Heh.

I was at a wedding a couple weeks ago. The bride tossed the flowers and their was the standard chick grab for it. All single girls all gung ho for the superstition that they would be next.

They called all us single guys out on the floor. The groom threw the garter. It flew high into the air, and came back down.

None of us moved. We all just watched it hit the floor.

Somebody asked what was up, and I said "I don't want that thing. That's bad luck."

I was at a reception for my buddy, he threw the garter, and without thinking, my ESPN SportsCenterHighligts brain pushes me into action, I make this leaping catch, amid fierce competition. Two seconds later, I dropped the thing like it was a venomous snake, thinking "What have I done??"

Thankfully, another one of my dumbassed friends is getting married next summer, and I have no prospects in sight. Dodged a bullet.

Been there, done that. Best friends wedding & all of us single guys just casually watched the garter hit the floor. The rest of the wedding party was rather amused.

Well there was this one girl who believes the end times are upon us, so she doesn't want to have children. She thinks the Anti-Christ is already alive in the world right now. She thought Kerry was the Anti-Christ but it doesn't look like he will assume power.

No, it's a different church - a more "mainstream" Baptist church. I didn't join any church yet, just crashing their socials.

You just need to travel in different circles dude. You can't expect to meet women who are loose and want something besides marriage at a CHURCH event. You're in Texas, go on down to Austin, I hear there's a killer bar and music scene there.

Seriously dude, you live in a commune, you spend time at church, where do you expect to meet the interesting people? Go to the shittiest dive bar part of town, find a punk rock show, get piss drunk...I mean drunker than you've ever been. Maybe you're next story will actually be interesting.

It is a well known fact that single men who go to church gatherings outside of a church or worship service are trying to get lucky.

Posted: 9/6/2004 9:40:24 PM EDT

The amount of effort expended by single male wedding attendees grabbing for the garter toss event is directly proportional to the hotness of the female who caught the bouquet.

Why would you end up dead dude? Are you afraid that a bar full of people having fun are going to suddenly turn in unison and kill the oriental guy and hide his corpse out back? Scared of drinking yourself to death? Or is sarge right, are you just scared of living? This is your assignment, should you choose to accept it. This coming Friday you need to go somewhere you've never been and do something you wouldn't normally do. Variety is the spice of life, live a little. Start off easy, go see a rockabilly band or something. Loosen up a little.

People who think you have to be married to enjoy life or have sex are seriously repressed or mildly retarded. I have been single most of my adult life, I dont see a problem with it. I own my own home and toys, my credit is perfect, my car is new, I get laid pretty regularly, I am pretty fit and life is great. About 4 out of 5 women are making a mental inventory of your assets when they meet you, not because they care about you or your hobbies they are figuring how much of your shit they can sell after you marry them and what they get for divorcing you. Any woman who says she is not doing that,,,is a lying bitch. My personal favorite, was an awesome redhead I dated last year, after about a month, she blurted out, " do you know how much money we would make if we lived together and how big a house we could buy?" She knew I did the "shooting thing" and the "military thing" but could not describe a single aspect of either. She did manage to figure out how much I made and what we could get for my house if I sold it after we moved in together. The funny thing was this was never a topic of discussion.

When you read all the posts here from guys whose soon to be ex-wives sold there guns, cars, toys, fucked their friends and ruined their credit. I get to listen to all the slobs crying the blues about the guns they can't buy because they are supporting a slug in the kitchen and 3 booger eating kids. Last of all, we get to read about all the misery the married have with their crack smoking in-laws, credit ruining barely driving wives and aspiring felon kids.

As long as women and most states think they have some sort of god given right to half my shit, my pensions and my lifes work for the gift of bland pussy and home cooking, I will remain single. If I get lonely I'll get a damned dog.

I wouldn't recommend that, bad bad things can happen.

Bad, bad things can happen sitting at home. Bad things can happen driving to work. If theres a bar row there, odds are it aint a very dengerous neighborhood. As a matter of fact, in a lot of cities the place most of the yuppies enjoy night life is in what were formerly "bad neighborhoods." Ask anybody from Denver Colorado. That's one VERY strong example. The point I was trying to make, is that he should get out there and experience life a little and see some of the perspectives out there outside what people from a church or commune have to offer. You know, see live music, knock back a few, lighten up a little and maybe talk to some more interesting women/people. Maybe even have some fun. Sometimes the shittiest looking place in town has the most environment and coolest people. No one implied he should use bad judgement or go somewhere he knows better than to go.

ETA: I can see how if you didn't know me you might consider the above bad advice. I probably don't mean that in exactly the way most would interpret it. Probably poorly phrased on my part.

I've told my wife that she'd better never die before me because I'd have all the female members of her family wanting trade me some worn out poon for a place to live and support. LOL And also the fact that ""Men benefit more from marriage than women" is pure B.S. All of us know that women benefit more from Divorce than men and that's why many women marry.

"You men are too comfortable being alone. You don't want to marry us."

My answer: What was your first clue?

Was it when you realized that we don't like to be constantly nagged about every f*cking job in the house every waking hour?

Or was it the fact that we like to keep the bills paid up instead watching the money pour out of the checking account like salt out of a sieve?

We also like to go to sleep at night instead of being kept up at the last minute to answer questions about our feelings and our relationship and do we really love you or not.

I'm guessing it was when you finally found out that we like peace and quiet.

Men probably do get more out of the marriage, it's the divorce that is a killer.
