Participant[quote=CA renter][quote=njtosd][quote=scaredyclassic]In terms of risk, from guys point of view marriage just seems wildly risky.[/quote]
Talk to your wife – I’m sure she would see it as equally risky.[/quote]
If not more risky.[/quote]
too risky then. marriage is out.
Participanton the other hand, it seems adorable when young people blithely do it. they may be too young to drink, dammit, but they aint too young ta get hitched.
Participanttoday id be too much of a pussy to get married. you either have to be brave, deluded, optimistic or narcotically in love to overlook the potential for utter ruin.
im not really sure i see the point, rationally. whats the advantage?
well, with that attitude, id never get married…

ParticipantI do feel really old and cranky. I was dealing with some young people about half my age recently and all I could think was I am so fucking old.
I sound like my dad
ParticipantFamilies really are too expensive for many americans
ParticipantMaybe this trend is due to less men having incomes. Expectations therefore scaled down.
Or maybe people are getting more romantic, aka dumber.
ParticipantTheoretically I think all kinds of bs.
What I actually do? Different story
ParticipantPeople lie.
Quote from within actual study…
Despite the public’s strong preference for the two-earner/shared homemaker marriage, the public hasn’t fully abandoned the idea that men and women play different roles in a marriage. Indeed, when it comes to evaluating the earning power of future mates, the public still has one standard for prospective husbands and a different one for future wives.
Asked how important it is for a man to be able to support a family financially if he wants to get married, fully 67% of the public say it is “very important.” But when the same question is asked about a woman, just 33% say it is very important.
ParticipantUm. Facts?
Just cause someone answers a question a certain way don’t make it a fact.In fact I would say it is a fact that women say they want things other than what they claim or even think they want.
Hypothetically $ not important in my fantasy cosmopolitan questionnaire.
But what is reality on the ground?
Special snowflake white women seem less forthcoming than black respondents.
ParticipantI just don’t believe that money isn’t critical to women.
They may not answer the question yes that money makes a good husband.
I think it would just be perceived as necessary …
Social norms make it difficult to say money makes a good husband. Sounds grubby.
People lie.
Women want a good earning husband.
Sorry. I’m old. Not gonna change my mind.

Hands with long slender fingers like those of piano player are more beautiful. [/quote]I’ve always found long slender fingers witchlike and ugly. And shallow people boring and… shallow.
To each his own, I guess.[/quote]
my hands are creepy and skinny. my dad’s were thick and cool. i loved how he had these leather gloves in winter that would just hold his exact hand shape when he took them off. thin hands look weak and probably are weak and therefore probably have to resort to witchcracft to get things done. thats why they seem witchlike.
i am working on hand and grip stregth exercises. john brookfield wrote the definitive work in this field. im getting a little better but i dont hve much to work with
ParticipantIn general couples try to have a baby of their own first and if that doesn’t work they adopt.
We ignore or obey our biology at our peril.
We are screwed either way!
Participant[quote=Blogstar][quote=scaredyclassic]Unnatural, in the most basic sense of the word.
But people are odd. There’s all kinds of permutations.
In general this isn’t how we are wired.
I need more facts. But this isn’t a marker of strong psychological or physical health.[/quote]Many successful people today are stopping at only one child, that is risky from a genetic point of view. Even people who could afford many more children. Are they physically weak and psychologically unhealthy? Permutations?[/quote]
They’re running with high survival rates currently in place.
