True or False: Marriage is for suckers?

[coachTanthony]

True

False

[Quigly]

It's true, our society glamorizes marriage to promote consumerism. It's family fascism, Look at all the cars sold in the marketplace. Almost every car sold is a family car regardless of the fact that most people in America are either single, without kids or their kids are grown and drive their own car, even the pickup trucks have family cabs on them now. Not that you bring your kids to work anyway. Throughout the life of the car you will wear out the driver seat and you will watch it go to the junkyard with a never used back seat. Doesn't matter, You are forced to buy a family car, you have no choice. It leaves that glamorous impression about marriage in the minds of people and that there is something wrong with being single. There is nothing glamorous about marriage. When people get married they realize it's nothing like what they thought and they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. It's not the easy life, there is nothing easy about it and many go into marriage and relationships with the idea that they are a good person and that will translate into a successful relationship and marriage. You will come out of that relationship a totally different person than you went into that relationship. It really is a journey of realizing just how different you are from other people. Being single just means you are smart enough to see it's not a right fit and the risks are too high for you and your life and you are better off not going down that road. There are more single people than ever before,

The only reason to engage in marriage and relationships is to have kids and family or maybe to take care of someone less fortunate. If you're not into it for those reasons, It's a really bad idea to get married, stay far away. I'm always surprise to hear to people getting married without the intention of having kids. Why would you do this to yourself? It will likely end in disaster and once children are born it just becomes more difficult. Many have a hard time accepting that for the next 18 years.

Well the ones who suck do have rings on their fingers

[Kelly6]

this i will agree with

[Rosexøxø]

Marriage is created by corrupt people or faulty Morso.

chances of me marrying or hooking up with a corrupt person isn’t impossible.

I don’t think I’ll agree to marriage and I don’t think I’ll marry.

BUT if he’s the angel I know he is.

I’ll marry him ☺️- if he asked lol

I just have no reason to suggest it myself. We may hold a ceremony and rings, but it just probably wouldn’t be legal. No need to include possessions and divisions. in my opinion.

[Rosexøxø]

I say neither. I don’t even use the term, sucker.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Only the suckers that don’t get what marriage is about🤷‍♀️

[Dargil]

Which is most guys much under 30.

[Sabretooth]

Which is becoming more and more.

[Finchie40]

False , Marriage is meant for people that know what marriage means period , Understanding your vows and standing by them , understanding. you can’t always be right and your partner is wrong , understanding that love only grows when 2 people. remove selfishness for each other , and sacrifice for each other , understanding we are all imperfect people , understanding it’s you and your partner Vs the world, to build a foundation together , If you have moral beliefs then understand God created marriage for a reason you are getting married to honor God , If you don’t have moral beliefs then I see no reason to get married to someone it becomes more of a piece of paper then anything. Divorce should only occur if cheating or domestic abuse occurs. I will only marry a girl that knows what it means to be in a marriage that wants to be my team partner that works with me , not against me , That has moral beliefs that stands by my side the same way I will stand by her , that accepts my flaws like I accept hers. That removes selfishness for me the same way I will do for her if I find a girl like that, I will be proud to take her hand in marriage. No relationship is perfect but the key to true love is removing selfishness for each other, understanding you are no longer single , Your partner needs to be your top priority over everyone the same way they should be making you their top priority , You can’t expect someone to do for you , if you can’t do for them , All relationships go through ups and downs for love to grow understand you can’t always be right

Marriage is a beautiful thing when 2 people truly have UNCONDITIONAL love for each other. We as human beings are so messed up we ruins it.

• We make it out to be a Disney happily ever after when reality it’s hard work everyday won’t be a honeymoon. You will be super angry at each other sometimes, but it’s through these hardships that you actually grow closer. Sadly a lot of marriages get outed/ tested and fail, they don’t make it through the strain test and divorce.
• People get married for the wrong reasons. The only reason to get married is because you truly love each other, anything else and your weak foundation will be revealed in a couple of years or months of living with each other
• People get married to the wrong person. If you need a prenup then you probably shouldn't get married to them because you don’t trust them. Divorce isn’t a backup it’s a FAT red flag that says I failed at my marriage and I’m a quitter. (Given every situation is different I’m speaking only on the “ sign a prenup” people)
• and lastly bad timing. You can be 40 and still not be ready for marriage yet. It’s ok every caterpillar turns into a butterfly at different times don’t compare yourself. Some are ready at 20 some are ready at 60. Who makes the rules when you should be married?

actual marriage is an agreement that I will give you all my love through action and do what’s best for you without any conditions or attachments other then you be faithful. we place all these other restrictions and try to add on our selfishness and baggage to marriage until it looks unattractive.

[coachTanthony]

Someone is in love with CHAT GPT lol

[WonderBell99]

False. While I’m not entirely against marriage, I’m not for it either. A lot of people are not good at handling relationships and get married even if they are not completely sure if they want to marry their partner. I don’t see any use in a paper that basically says “hey, you’re married”. I don’t need to prove my love with a piece of paper, but again, if they really are in love with each other and can handle a few ups and downs in their marriage, they can definitely make it work.

I’ll marry my partner if they ask (and if I’m sure about them). If you can promise a lifelong commitment to your partner, go for it. If not, don’t. Simple.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I wish I was a bear, they mate for like 2 weeks and they have honey moon and then as if they never existed they go their separate ways without hard feelings.

But I am a human and I feel like I wish things were that simple. It’s really tiresome, how us, people make everything complicated.

[Mallic00]

Agreed. Why do humans insist on making things needlessly complicated? This is why I feel we would be better off if the idea of friends with benefits or sex friends was more commonly accepted

[sravmr123]

Any problem in this world the answer is money 🤑💸💲

That's why everything is complicated.

If only "store of value" as a medium of exchange is replaced back with bartering again that would uncomplicate almost all the complicated problems, since storing the goods is not feasible and holding the properties is just a shot in the dark.

Money gives humans a lot of confidence to make or destroy someones life. A little bit of uncertainty in the financial department will keep any man from making irrational selfish moves just because they can make them.

[sravmr123]

Or we can just eliminate money and live like bears. We did live exactly like them before how hard would it be to go back 🤔

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@sravmr123 “A little bit of uncertainty in the financial department will keep any man from making irrational selfish moves just because they can make them” - agree with this.

[msc545]

I spoke with the bears about this. They are willing to rent out their caves to humans but not sell them for any amount of money.

[legalboxers]

The Working man is the sucker

[coachTanthony]

Luckily for me I don't work lol

[BCRanger10]

No one's going to call ME a sucker and be taken seriously after.

[coachTanthony]

LOL.

[Nikki1989]

The only suckers are the ones who have no concept on how to have a successful marriage. Those people should avoid marriage.

[Kelly6]

totally agree.
those couples even dont have trust or loyaly with each other

[Vegasrunner]

@Nikki1989 Name one tangible value men receive from marriage?

[Mallic00]

Little to none, women like her think that the fact that a man would have the illustrious "Honor" of being forever in her presence is enough value for men to get married. As if we should be grateful that she would permit a man to be around her

[ImHere22]

False. There are tax benefits for being married.

Keep that in mind next January - April...

[Jamie05rhs]

At least half true on the male side (in the West).

Probably considerably true on the female side in places like Saudi Arabia and Iran. (Although those women don't even have a choice in the matter.)

[DizzyDesii]

Well I mean, I’m definitely more willing to go down on him if we’re married

[Shark_61695]

I definitely didn't come here to make that inference.

[DizzyDesii]

@Shark_61695 its okay. You don’t have to be the sucker. You can be the one getting sucked

[Sparkie460]

Now this question has to be put in the sexual category. It's all your fault @DizzyDesii

[DizzyDesii]

@Sparkie460 🤣🤣🤣 I couldnt go a day without turning something dirty

[Sparkie460]

@DizzyDesii oh I know. Believe me, I know. Hahaha

[Anonymous]

You must be very bored. I can see a lack of motivation in your latest posts. How are you gonna survive now that Gag is shutting down? Even PrettyPriya left

[OfMiceandMen]

I would do it again in heartbeat, if I met the right woman.😍

[Gent207-2]

Marriage is NOT for everyone and that's okay.

[EssenceOfLight]

Kinda.
I get still attention of girls in their 18 at random clubbing events. Until I don't lose this ability, there is no need to settle down.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Hey I could be a sucker, they say a sucker is born every day Lol

[Jamie05rhs]

I love your sense of humor, man! 😄

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Jamie05rhs Thank you Jamie :-)

[Jamie05rhs]

You're welcome!

[RavVid]

It is simply a bum deal in practice. Nice in concept and a great way to live if it did work.

[Sparkie460]

I am a sucker for a sexy woman. That's why I had to marry her.

[msc545]

Men who get married are suckers. It won't end well.

[DermalPunch]

Siiiiggghhhh. Are you sure you are in the right profession?

[msc545]

@DermalPunch I am very sure.

[Jamie05rhs]

@DermalPunch He knows the truth. He's seen it. And I believe him.

[msc545]

Thank you

[DermalPunch]

Well as a woman I would say women are crazy to marry. Men are abusive.

[Jamie05rhs]

@DermalPunch No, not "men." Maybe your ex was. But that doesn't mean that "men" are abusive.

[DermalPunch]

@Jamie05rhs well you guys are making generalizations so why can't I? By saying men are crazy for getting married you are saying all women will eventually screw them over. What's good for the good is good for the gander.

[DermalPunch]

Goose

[msc545]

@Jamie05rhs Thanks, brother.

[msc545]

@DermalPunch No, we are calculating the probabilities and they are not in our favor. We have seen what happens to men who miscalculate.

[DermalPunch]

Yes, men are calculating and manipulative. They push women to their limits in their sick disqualification processes then blame them for it because we stupidly think you're being honest and straight up. This is abusive behaviour.

[Jamie05rhs]

@DermalPunch Incorrect. If I disqualify a woman, I will not waste her time. (Nor my own, for that matter.)

[DermalPunch]

@Jamie05rhs i. mean the head games they play, and the intentional disrespect to test her reaction. Men play more head games than women by far.

[Jamie05rhs]

@DermalPunch I'm sorry you have been dating some trashy men.
I would be happy to help coach you to choose better ones, if you would like.

[DermalPunch]

@Jamie05rhs wow very patronizing. @msc545 just admitted. men are calculating. I really don't need any coaching g from you. My flitration processes are working excellently! What takes women years to suss out I get wrapped up in a week without spreading my legs.

[msc545]

I'm not aware of having admitted anything other than looking at some probabilities like the 70% divorce rate.

[Jamie05rhs]

@DermalPunch I'm offering help as a friend! 🤷. I don't see why you would be offended by that.
And besides, how am I patronizing if you are older than me?

[Anonymous]

Yeah, marriage is for suckers. Be smart. Have kids with one woman and live together and own a house together and share everything in life without getting married. Then, one day, when your partner feels like it, let her drain your bank account and leave you with the mortgage and the kids with no recourse because you didn’t actually have any commitment and, therefore, no legal obligation. That’s the smart way.

[Christoff92]

Yeh. Because it's the same old boring shit. Like big whoopee deal 🤪
