I agree with marriage to be honest, im getting married in August and feel happy to do it, then again i do think thats it! Where do we go from here? Meeting a new girl and being together all works towards the same thing in my opinion, see each other, become exclusive, get engaged, have kids, get married (atleast thats how i did it) but after all this we have nothing to plan or prepare for really, we would have done it all in theory.

I think marriage can be hard on a man throughout although as said before if you do not have marriage that usually means no kids well at least that you get to see on a daily basis and it takes a lot of the joy out of life. I believe that a lot of the joy in life is teaching raising and loving another human being teaching him morals and watching him succeed it's a priceless value in life. Then growing old with your spouse and watching your grandkids, I just can't hardly picture life without it. Now maybe in your mid 20's through early 30s you won't want anything to do with marriage but when you get approaching 40 or so you will begin to want a partner, you will be lonely. No kids no wife nothing just you.

Off topic kind of but I thought you didn't like G Wagons I think your wife wanted a SUV or something and I mentioned that and you didn't like it or something along those lines not sure what it was. Also the first picture is broken although I assume it is an Aventador Roadster, have your purchased any new toys lately I know you were considering a Lamborghini although you said it would cost more than your house :p What ever happened with that? More over I saw a G 63 the other day at my school stare sexy ass ride man.

I do like G Wagons a lot; I don't remember what I said though. I'm all over the place on what I want lol. I need a new SUV or something to replace it and that's a fact. I bounce around from G550 to X5 to Impreza WRX STI and back again to G550, and then I see a Range Rover Sport on the road and consider it too. I need to go drive them and decide whether I want something sporty or a beast like a G550. :p No new toys lately ha ha. Currently saving in fund to replace the SUV, get a DD, and even a new sports car, a la Aventador Roadster. I would have to trash the DD plans and DD the 458 and have the Lambo as a 1-3 day a week DD, weekend car, and going out car to make it financially sound. Also considering selling the house and getting a flashy apartment close to the city as I fuckin hate my commute and this house is way too big. I'm not a subrubs kinda guy anyways. And then my wife will want a new car since I'm rollin in a 300k Ferrari and possibly 100k SUV and then a 450k Lamborghini while she's rollin in a 45k Bimmer. Hopefully she will just drive the G550 and I can just drive it when the roads are bad. The plan of trading in the 458 for a red 458 Scuderia and getting a killer sedan like the Tesla performance version as DD also intrigues me.

Lambo is so sexy though. It's so damn expensive. I'd have to work two years to pay it off before taxes so it sounds more like it's something I'll do in ~10 years when I work less and have a bigger pay check...more money to spend and more time to drive. 458 Scud wouldn't cost me more than 50k or so on the trade in, then 100k on the Tesla and 100k on the G550. Heck, I might not even like the Scud when I drive it and can just order a customized regular 458 in rossa corsa. I wanted red in the first place but the grey was too good to pass on. If I get a regular 458 then I would DD it, forget the Tesla, and just buy the wife a G550, start saving for a new house and call it a day. I like this plan the most actually.

Lol, you dont need to get married to have kids, or even a consort for life. You cannot teach someone morals, they must learn it themselves, however you can reinforce the idea, and make certain ideals seem more important than others, but in the end its them who chooses whether to go in that direction or not. You have plenty of people who are knowledgeable about morals and even ethics but do not use them at all, and live a life of butchery and typicality.

-Someone to "be there for you"
-Unlimited sex
-Family if you want it
-Added income
-Don't have to cook
-Don't have to clean
-Don't have to do dishes
-Don't have to do laundry

Cons:
-She wants a nice car
-She wants nice clothes
-She wants expensive vacations
-She wants nice purses
-Have to watch stupid women TV shows
-Have to go to stupid women movies
-Have to go to stupid women concerts
-Less time for friends
-She doesn't like sports as much as you do
-She definitely doesn't like cars as much as you do
-She doesn't like your music either
-Less "you" time
-She might not approve of things you do


those pros and cons have nothing to do with marriage, in fact women are just as bad outside of marriage. :impatient:

Personally i see it as a waste of time. If i truly love someone then that is enough. If they expect me to prove it to them by marrying them, then ive clearly picked the wrong person. Love is not a sheet of paper. But if people feel some sort of happiness justifying their love through such menial, expensive methods, then good luck to them. I suppose if i was absolutely loaded id get married, but again love would be taking a back seat, id just like getting all the family together and having a good day.

also, is this topic intentionally sexist? im pretty sure women have it harder than men. and in fact there is some scientific proof behind this. Marriage for a woman, and a family means they get less sleep.its a fact,they feel more stress. and lack of sleep has been shown to have adverse effects on females health. Whereas males seem to be far less, if at all effected by lack of sleep, health wise. So arguably women have it worse. But essentially its as bad for both of them. If the sexism was intentional, please take it elsewhere, this is intellectual discussion, not typical sexist gamers section. you want the rest of the forums for that.

To be have kids and have a good relationship with them of course you don't have to be married but 98% of women your not going to live with, have kids and a life while not being married. As a child you pretty much determine their path completely a 3 year old doesn't know right from wrong you must teach them of course when the get around 7-10 they start to think for themselves but in their young years you are their guidance in life or who ever is their biggest influence in life is. Of course you have plenty of people like that but now your getting into to teenage years and older thats not the topic of discussion when you think along with marriage comes kids you think of little kids like babies thats what I was referring to.

That is complete nonsense! Nowadays its becoming more like 50/50 married/unmarried, its nowhere near as common as you think. and most women do not care as much about marriage as you seem to think. id bet you grew up in a religious family in a religious neighbourhood, where almost everyone is married... but fyi marriage is getting less and less common, especially in europe. My parents arent married, but omg, they have a house and kids! no way!

I also cant really tell if you're trying to disagree with keomo, you said yourself that you are the biggest 'influence' therefore you cannot control them, only influence them, like keomo said...
