When I actually do, then feel free to accuse me of that. For now, feel even more free to keep that to yourself. Perhaps I misunderstood, but what is it, "a desire for an easy way out" or "actually trusting one another"? If anything, that PM is a generalization about men, then. Also, I...

Obvious hating on women is a pretty serious thoughtcrime, I agree. But can you at least show me where did I do it, exactly? It has to be one of my posts which convinced you? And I gave objective reasons why I was putting marriage down, it's not just because I don't like it.

I have a strong opinion that if there are kids, then a divorce is a bad end. If there are no kids and they both enjoy wasting time, they can marry and divorce seven times a day, I won't give a ****. "The house almost ALWAYS goes to the person with the kids." - I see where you are coming from...

If the law wasn't involved, I have no idea why did you even started with that story, then. That conversation was about the law from the very beginning. First, the most divorces are initiated by women. Second, how do you even know that the most men agree to lose their children? How many of those...

The proof is on you, since it was you who made the statement. And you could've cited it twice already. I said "almost all the time", not "always". And yet, "almost all the time" is enough for a bias to exist. From your story, it's impossible to decipher what part the law played in it, but you...

TheRealCallie, obviously, two wrongs make right in this very particular case, but do you have any proofs that females get paid less for the same job? Also, how less is less? A house and a car less? Your first two sentences contradict each other. The first one is statistics over exceptions, but...

Solivagant First of all, it's pro-marriage sentiments which are actually often based on fear. Read this very thread. Many pro-marriage responses are openly just fear of the man leaving. "Escape hatch" and other creative metaphors make it quite obvious. Anti-marriage sentiments are not based on...

Well, OP doesn't care for marriage, too, but people disagree with him, even though it's supposed to be his choice. What I meant by the standpoint, is that it's always "if he loves her, he must do what she wants", be it anything including marriage. I've never seen it vice versa. My opinion isn't...

This is shallow because this is all about pieces of paper and jewelry. And this is unnecessary because you can live togehter until death without marrying. And if a woman loves a man well enough, why not just trust his words? Why is it always from the woman's standpoint?

The divorce rate says that marriages are pretty easily dissolved, too. What is wrong with those many and their eyes, are they indeed idiots or just blind, I don't even care. Wedding is a public clownery. It doesn't give you anything, it doesn't guarantee you anything, it's all about publicity...

You are talking about two different things. It's the both of them first, and then it's just the woman all of a sudden. If both of them want a pointless ritual, I say let them knock themselves out, no problem. But if the woman is forcing the man to do something which won't benefit them in any...

If you already have love, you don't need anything extra to "represent" it. You already have it. Moreover, again, since most marriages end up in divorces, it's obvious that marriage doesn't even represent anything anymore. Of course thay are doing it for the sake of the title, the status, the...

I'm stating the obvious - the commitment is in the person, not in the rituals. You can throw as much ad hominem as you want at me, it won't change this simple fact. Stubborn desire for a meaningless ritual shows nothing but a complete luck of trust coupled with unhealthy amounts of...

So, if a man doesn't do some stupid magic ritual with rings and stuff, that means he's not serious? And once he's done that mighty rite, he's automatically, instantly serious? What a steamy, tasty load of bullshit. Most marriages fall apart. I think that alone proves that some fossil ceremony...

Case, I get that it's the law and the policy. But it is an idiotic law and an idiotic policy. It's not ad populum, of course. My point is this, if you have five people of the same performance, it is better to make one of them uncomfortable, and not four of them. It is better to hurt 1/5 of the...

I'm not saying that it's not in a textbook. My point is that any textbook will let you write whatever you want. This is what textbooks do. Flat Earth was once in all the textbooks. The textbook itself is just ludicrous. The very idea that you must have a teacher to "allow"/"disallow" a group of...

Of course I don't belittle him. I said he had a real problem.

If it really wasn't your business, it wouldn't bother you. "Snitching" was my response to another poster's ridiculous "options", not to you. "Why does it bother you? It shouldn't bother you", no; I understand this is a real problem for you. "Stop letting it bother you", yes. If you have a...

Boy, this can't be serious. May I ask you, behind whose skirt the supervisor hides when they are being "harassed" in their supervisor superworkplace? There must be some kind of omnipotent ultravisor, right? Also, that's not sexual harassment. I mean, this crazy kindergarten culture may say...

Sorry for interposing, but enough of this drama. The big winner is the guy who has the most success with females, which means he's doing what they dig. That's it. And to your half mythical "nice guy" woman, you can do whatever you want. Your fantasies, your rules. As it has been reiterated even...
