I hope you can take some cold comfort from the fact that you are not the only one.

For me it's not resigned, it's by choice. I don't want to get married.

I think that probably I won't get married.
It's quite unlikely that I'll get married.
I can hardly take care of myself, I've never learned how to cook, also I'm not really interested in marriage.

For starters I'll probably never be emotionally mature enough to make a commitment like that, and it's a commitment I respect. I'd never make it falsely. Marriage is a real commitment in my eyes. Secondly, there's no woman who would want to spend her life with me. Thirdly, I couldn't handle the social pressure of a wedding.

Sex with the same person for the rest of your life or be thought a sinful adulterer? F-k that!


I have enough experiences and can tell you, every man simply has a dick. There might be small differences, but none that are important. So why change the dick every few months, when there is no need for it. You can change the dick as often as you want, but there wont be anything else coming but another dick, that is similar to the dick you had before. XD

So the last thing, that would be important for me to change a relationship, is because I got bored of having sex with the same dick. Simply because you will get the same dick again. Sorry if I talked to open about it. XD

I don't believe in marriage. I'd rather my partner and I wake up every day and choose to be together. Every day he is by my side, I know it's because he really wants to be there and not because he feels obligated to do so. We don't need a paper saying we belong together as a set. It's an outdated concept. If two adults want to be together then they can be together on their own. Marriage throws on so many expectations and requirements that remove authenticity from a relationship.


I hear this logical argument a lot, but it's always missing the angle - what about the morning you wake up angry and DON'T feel like being together? The modern couple simply runs out and screws someone else or never comes back. Marriage is supposed to be the LIFE-long commitment for when things are NOT rosy and perfect - that they'll stay together and work on problems rather than giving up at the drop of a hat.

Few people do this today - married or not.


That's the POINT - it means a lot more when you consciously decide to stick with someone simply because you care for them, not because you have a "contract" that says you HAVE to. That's what I mean when I say a piece of paper removes the authenticity of the relationship.

Why do you need a piece of paper to have a deep commitment to someone? That doesn't make sense! It's more like negative reinforcement: "If you screw up, you'll face a nasty divorce! Bwahaha!"

Marriage makes it even more difficult to get away from an abusive relationship, too. A lot of people feel pressured to stay in the relationship since they "promised" and they feel like failures if they get a divorce.

Love is a verb and it's something that a genuine person with integrity chooses to do through thick or thin - no marriage contract is going to make that more likely or possible. It comes from within. Yes, a lot of people are selfish but this has nothing to do with marriage.


Why do you think that this piece of paper was for a deep commitment to someone? The piece of paper is for whatever you two involved decide. And no sh***y piece of paper can force you to stick with someone, we are not in midiage. ^^ You also dont need it for deep commitment. And it doesnt make it difficult to get away from an abusive relationship, it doestn plug chains on your feet. ^^

"Love is a verb and it's something that a genuine person with integrity chooses to do through thick or thin - no marriage contract is going to make that more likely or possible. It comes from within. " Yop, but Love doesnt help your partner, when he wants to go on holiday with his child, that doesnt carry his name in its passport. ^^ It also doesnt give you the right to make desicions in hospital about life- and deathsupport for your partner. It doesnt pay the healthinsurance of your partner. ^^ It doesnt give me the right to live without inheritance taxes in the house we renewed togeter, if he should die. ^^ It doesnt give him lower tax rates, as long as I am at home with the baby and we only have one income. It doesnt help me and the child with widowrent, if I or he should have an accident...

I dont need that sh***y piece of paper to know I love him. If someone needs such, maybe he should think about his relationship and its meaning. But I need it for our burocracy. ;)

That is one of the many reasons I'll never get married. I don't do penetration.

Sex isn't about the man's dick to me at all though; it's about interacting in a pleasurable manner with a person I like in terms of both looks and personality. I dont' go around looking for men to have sex with like a nymphomaniac lol I'm not sex-driven at all;
it's a means to get things that are more important to me ie companionship and someone interesting to talk to. If I have that with a person I have no desire to go looking anywhere else as my needs are being fulfilled. I enjoy sex but it's the being with the other person ie the affection and closeness that is more important than the sexual act.

And different men also bring vastly different experiences of sex too so one dick is certainly not just like another. Some men are very good at sex while others aren't.

What's making the page so wide?

let us not repeat the page widening thing, that is an irritant. anyways, I've always ALWAYS wanted to be married to somebody nice to/for me, and I hope still to be able to make that happen sometime well before I push up the daisies.

I agree with kouzoku, marriage is a legal contract that does not have to have anything to do with love. The rights of the parties involved vary enormously depending on which country you are in. From the wife being a chattel to being an equal.

It is also strange that it is so much easier to get married than to get divorced. Which goes to show it is mainly about property rights, money and enforced access to children.

Actions speak louder than words,.

aside from the legal considerations, I see marriage as the ultimate expression of my commitment to a special somebody. that is my vote of confidence in this person that I will never abandon them for whatever reason. i'm old-fashioned like that.

The post I responded to, was about "Having sex with the same guy all my life? No!" - Thats why I only answered related to the sex part. That relationships are more about feelings and so on, I know, but that wasnt the topic to which I answered. So I fully agree, that people have different characters, that are worth meeting and that have relevance for finding the right partner. But the topic I answered was not about different personalities, but how terrible it would be to have sex with the same person. And sex is simply about sex, and there are no differences to dicks. So changing person, because there would be so much else with sex with another person, doesnt work from my oppinion.

According to new studies, men are also part of the human population, and so they are able to achieve knew knowledge. So even if you meet a men, that hasnt much experiences, both of you will have time to learn, simply by learning by doing. ^^ Sure its nice, if a person already has some knowledge, but that knowledge you can achieve in some months, and experiences more or less, every men is anyway forced to make experiences with you, and you with him, simply because everyone likes other stuff. A men that has much experiences on other women, still has no experiences on what you like and need to learn about that as much as a man that didnt have as much experiences with woman. The last thing on earth I need is a guy that is not willing to listen to me and my body, but refers to "...but the other woman liked it...." or "...in porn woman always like that..." Yop, thats nice for the other woman and nice for the porn producer, but doesnt help me in anyway if I dont like something.

Sure you can meet a guy, that is unwilling to learn about what you like, but doing so is not about already having experiences or not, but simply about if he is a lamer or not. ;)

Seriously. There are virtually no benefits in modern society. Marriage is harmful to both men and women in different ways.
