What "some" might you be referring to? I will say that from my personal experience, that is spot on! I have conceited many an argument once that subtle threat wives make has been tossed into the fight. Haha!

Wife: how am I supposed to know the tire was all the way flat? I can't get out and look at it while I'm driving down the road! I couldn't stop because the store was opening in 10 minutes & if I had been late, those shoes would have been GONE!

Me: THAT DAM THUMP WASNT YOUR CAR TAPPING TO THE MUSIC! That should have been a hint!! Now, we not only have to buy a new tire because you shredded that one & road Hazzard won't cover stupidity, but we have to buy a new rim!!! We both know you weren't going to check it out because you wanted to get to that damned sale for those damned shoes that YOU DONT NEED

Wife: speaking of don't need... I guess you won't be NEEDING anything out of me at night anymore???

Me: WELL, IM JUST PISSED THAT THAT DAMNED STORE HAD TO OPEN SO EARLY & IT PUT YOU IN HARMS WAY!! I JUST GET SCARED WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HURT!

Note: that was an ACTUAL argument back in the day. Haha!

Just don't choose a trophy. Marry a real person who actually has sense. Need I say more?

Family life definitely requires a lot of sacrifice, but you shouldn't be actively avoiding it. Most men are greatly improved by the civilizing influence of a good woman. Perpetual adolescence starts to be a really bad look once you hit 30.

I'd say this is only relevant if you are insecure and view your self-worth according to other people's expectations. Living a single life past 30 does not necessitate "perpetual adolescence" even when choosing not to pursue marriage. There's great value in both single and married living, including differing types of sacrifice according to your life calling.

And... back to Hilliard. Come to Notre Dame please.

That's not a very charitable interpretation of my post, Pachuco. I was not arguing that every single male over 30 is somehow deserving of contempt. I was commenting on an attitude that is very common among my generation. Many young men see the sacrifices involved with starting a family, and they immediately say, "Whoa, that's not for me! I still have so much stuff to do and see first. How am I ever going to discover myself if I settle down?"

That strikes me as a very immature way of looking at the world. Boys become men when they dedicate their lives to something bigger than themselves, and learn to consistently put others first. If one instinctively recoils from the costs associated with family life, I would question his moral fitness.

Not everyone is called to marriage obviously. A man can dedicate himself to a noble cause and pour himself out for the good of others without taking a wife. But my generation's penchant for drastically postponing and frequently avoiding marriage altogether does not bode well for the future.

The only problems that arise with my marriage are usually started by my girlfriends, not my wife....

The trick is to find a fat girl who recently lost the weight and is now skinny. In their head they still view themselves as fat. If you can keep her insecurities at a high level, she'll have as much sex as you want, for fear of you leaving.

AMIRITE!!!!!

Do you ever want a kid? If so, then you may want to consider that. Typically, it takes a couple years to court a lady into an engagement, then another year to get married (typically). So right this second... assuming the averages... you'll be 31 before you have a traditional family (dating+marriage=kid).

Unless you meet your wife today, you better marry a girl younger than you and pray that your biological clock is strong. Women's chances of pregnancy start declining sharply in their 30's.

Just mentioning this, because you may feel foolish at 36 if you want a kid and physically cannot create one.

 

[dshans]

This is a classic "trap" thread.


Well, I found this on the intersperse so I thought I'd add it:








Can you guess that I married (taking my sweet time) at 30, had a child at 35, divorced at 40 and have had no desire to remarry in the subsequent 21 years???



Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!!!

A parent is forever. A spouse not so much ...

To further this point, women's pregnancies when she is 35 or older are considered "high risk pregnancies" with greater chances for complications.

My father was 39, 41, 43, 44, and 45 when my siblings and I were born.

Don't do that.

I'm happy to be alive though haha

Seriously, being married would be a piece of cake if I wasn't such a good looking guy.

Stay away from strippers...er...I mean exotic dancers....

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Got married at 27. I really like it. Glad I waited until then or it would have probably been a bad idea. But I like it.

This is true. I'm 38, my wife (who is currently divorcing me) is 28. We've been together for 10 years, married for 8. Yep, your math is right. We were 28 & 18 when we met, and I knew it was a bad idea (she was a stripper), but c'mon...I got 10 years and two awesome kids out of the deal! But yeah...the trophy wife is a real vicious one. Hell, look at Donald Sterling and his trophy GF!

Fair enough, but what is YOUR net worth compared to HIS???

Size, apparently, DOES matter!!!

Thrill can be fleeting. Joy can be enduring.

So just find a girl with LSE aka low self esteem? You might just be on to something here! I've had the trophy wife and let me just say she was as crazy as she was hot!
