Why Do Girls Want to Get Married? (Page 2)

[funnyjoke]

And by all fake I mean that marriage is built on a house of cards. Men will never get the amount of sex they want, as women withhold sex to try to make their man better than their girlfriends'. Women constantly gossip and compare themselves to one another... A man is just another chip on the table they use to make each other jealous. Men are no saints... we care about sex, not so much about the women... as a women gets older and unattractive the marriage becomes more and more strained.

“Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.” ― Oscar Wilde

I've always hated the idea of marriage, but most people in society seem to be sold on it. If it did not appear on the surface serve both parties interests, it would not exist. Women are pressured to marry sooner since their beauty is the most valuable asset they bring to a marriage and it fades with time, so they are pressured to capitalize on it. Men have a constant need for sex, which makes marriage seem like a good idea.. In the end everyone gets disappointed, because it's all fake.

I want to get married till I'm financially stable and he's stable in his job too. But right now I don't have a boyfriend. Also be with the person that I love. I don't believe in a big wedding. It's just way too expensive. I'm kinda leaning towards a small wedding or married at court.

I hate it when asked why I am not married yet. Its really no ones business but my own that I chose to remain single and have yet to meet that women who I know who is the "one" for me. I think marriage doesn't work in todays society as its not taken seriously. I have friends who are married and they seem happy and content and good for them. Then I have friends who aren't and they are enjoying life to the fullest and don't even think about marriage but do wonder about it.

Well being a guy , some say its sad but I dream of getting married and plan it out and how special it will be in the same way as most girls dream about it. I cannot wait untill I meet the right girl :)

[A-R-Norman]

I never dreamt of a white wedding and didn't think I'd get married. I didn't stress over it. Met a good guy--we married in a court house. Women should have the right to choose, just as men do and not stress or be labelled.

Did not see that ending coming lol. Whatever happened to people getting married because they love one another and want to spend the rest of their lives with one another?

[goatbanger69]

Men are romantics pretending to be realists; women are realists pretending to be romantics.

[contulmiau]

because they think the only alternative to being married is being single. Very far from the truth. you can happily live with someone without marrying them, and without the pressure of tolerating the bad times, just because of the "vows"

[condoractual]

All of my married friends tell me that they envy me and then ask when I'm going to get married and join them in Hell. If that doesn't keep a man single then consider what my friends tell about arguements and disagreements: "You can be right, or you can be happy. It's your choice". I'll stick to bachelorhood for a while longer thanks.

This article doesn't mention the REAL reason girls want marriage: ALIMONY. They can marry some guy, then after 2 1/2 years divorce him and take half of what he owns (even if he owned it before he ever knew her) AND half of what he'll make THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

Marriage is a bullsh*t concept that only worked in the old days because women had no rights and couldn't own property so they had to marry a man to survive.

[djPechkin]

I definitely agree that the pressure comes from the parents. Biologically speaking a person's life isn't complete until they have grandchildren. (Until they've raised a child that can procreate on his/her own). For girls, that goal is so much more potent!

[artsaffron]

Marriage is double sided. Its not just the women finding true love, but also the men. It is stereotypical to assume that men aren't just as inclined to want to find their soul mate.

As a woman, I want to get married to start my life with my love and show my commitment to him (vice versa). Its not about impressing my family at all (who never pressured me). Its about the two of us expressing that we are willing to work to stay together and love each other. I am engaged and marrying after college.

"hi my name is such and such...will you marry me" hahahaha

also. check out the song "mind control" by tantric. might help you better with this kind of thing

[armyant]

I don't know whether this is a feminist article but it certainly has the same axiom they do -- "if you don't agree with me your opinion doesn't matter because you've been brainwashed".

[Northeast106]

I wouldn't remarry again. I just want to find a nice girl to live with and then I'm happy. Marriage has a great deal of risk to it, and in today's times a marriage contract isn't necessary.

[David-C]

Marraige is over rated anyway. I think people should just work on being happy and if it happens great, if not, well that's great too.

[misscocobutter]

Don't know. I'm a girl and have never been phrased with marriage, I find the whole concept scary

[Seashell73]

Well put together! We need to ask why are we getting married and if the answer is to please someone else, you better hang on to your "I do"!

[Romanticguy1988]

Why girls want to get married?

I would no doubt say ''Eternal Love''.

[probabilist]

Interesting article, don't sit down and be the victim so willingly though.
