I don't want this to turn into a religious debate but there are times when I say to myself why did God make me the way he did? I see guys who are 5, 10 and even 15 years younger then me who have their life's in check some are married, have kids, good careers etc and here I am almost 29 and have nothing going for myself. Just last night I ran into an old friend on FB who I haven't seen in 14 years and he's married with two kids. He's only a year older than me. I thought about suicide more times than I can count but can't do it. It angers me that I as a male can't get a GF, or a job or a drivers license due to my learning disability have a hard time focusing. I know deep down if I were born a girl, I wouldn't have to worry not having a job, marriage etc. Not saying I want a sex change just hate the fact because I was born a male I have it harder?

My best friend is an attorney. He makes over $380,000 a year. My girlfriend is an administrative assistant. She makes about $38,000 a year. I'm a licensed architect and civil engineer. I make about $94,000 a year.

Offering marriage to someone is, all soft and mushy fluffy stuff aside, a business proposal. Otherwise, nobody is stopping you from just staying together for the rest of your lives and in love. It's a legal entitlement to a portion of our income and assets. Over the long-run, the person who earns more has more to lose, and the person who earns less has more to gain. As a joke, I grabbed by friend and asked him to get married. He laughed in my face, and then told me that it's not "worth" getting married to me, because I would make out like a bandit at the end of the day.

I'm never getting married, but I'm wondering, of the guys who do get married or haven't excluded marriage as a possibility in the future, what's the reason you propose or offer marriage to a girl?
