Are your parents divorced?All_That_Is_Man wrote:I agree with wanting a partner when you get older. I don't agree with your list of benefits, however. For instance, even if it "works out", marriage generally ends sex altogether, and a wife and kids generally demand all of the husband's earnings (whether for needs or for wants). That's good that your grandmother is very well taken care of, however in a lot of cases the children/grandchildren will stiff an aging parent for their money (e.g. laundering their will, coercing them to sign over retirement wages, putting them in a cheap nursing home, etc.).eurobrat wrote:ATIM,
I kind of agree when you get older you kind of want a partner. Tons of benefits if it works out, dual income, sex more often, no more dating and dating games, children to look after you when you get older.
I have a Grandmother dying of brain cancer and with amnesia right now. She had 5 kids and 14 grandchildren including me. She has been well taken care of since she was diagnosed.
I'm just glad that dj is at least considering a foreign woman (unlike my brother who is engaged to an American black female nearly 10 years older than him, who he met at the club!) Marrying a foreign woman is the smartest choice for the man, even though marriage of any sort is altogether a no-win complex for males.
A no-win? As I said, I don't have anything to take from. A woman would have to accept me for what I am and what I have now, today. Not potentially, that might not change.
This is why you listen to what women say very carefully and you also watch what they do WAY before you seal any deal. Are people on their best behavior at all times? Sure, I am who I am, best behavior never enters my mind. I will cut you off if I think what I have to say is more important, some especially that Polish chick didn't like that at all. While most women don't seem to care as I am usually much more informed about various subjects than they are.
So I am what I am and that's all that I am - Popeye
You only get married in the right circumstances and I create those circumstances.
There is no at least or less than evil proposition in my book. You can still find reasonable women inside America (shock, horror) but at my age, I have no longer to time to dig through all the trash to find diamond in the rough. Much easier in a market where your desired without the social forces to conform as they are in the United States.
