    Speaking of spoiled, when I was in school I sat next to this kind of cute girl in a class full of guy, figured I'd try to get her number, and eventually I did but I never really talked to her - we worked on a project together and the only texting/caller her I ever did was regarding that.  So out of the blue about a month ago she texts me - which is great because its like a sign saying she's interested.

    This girl doesn't open up about anything, mostly because you can tell she is EXTREMELY spoiled and has had everyone do everything for her for years.

    On valentines day her parents BOUGHT HER A HORSE.

    She can't understand why I'm buying a car, and asked why my parents don't just buy it.  I said 'we live comfortably but my parents just are not going to drop 25k on a car for me' to which she responds 'yeah but they could just finance it and make payments'.

    And FWIW, yes, I'm still talking to her.

    lots if you find the right one. My wife is the complete opposite of a bitch. Never nags at me. Never gives me trouble and she is an excellent mother. Gotta find the right one.

    I agree with kapono

    If you're down on marriage, you've either been burnt by a bad choice or you're just a complete prick

    For me, I'd rather be single and happy, which I am, than frustrated and married. Getting married and having children sounds like an old cliche already.

    Just thought I would chime in a bit here considering I just got engaged to my girlfriend of over 7 years.  My girlfriend is amazing... smart, beautiful, successful, laid-back, and loves her and my family.  She doesn't really nag all that much considering the time we've been together and compared to girls I've been with in the past for a far less amount of time.  Don't get me wrong, not everything is peachy all the time.  We've had our fair share of issues, but nothing like some of the stuff I've seen go on with my friends.  She's not a gold digger b/c I'm no millionaire, and she started making 6 figures after just three years with her company. 

    So, it really does sound like a lot of guys on here have been burned pretty badly.  I mean, come on guys.  To be single for the rest of your life sounds miserable!  It probably is nice at times and fun while you're young.  You can do what you want without "checking in" to make sure it's ok.  You can have a random hookup without any reservations.  Lots of perks for sure... but after a while, I'm betting a lot of you guys get lonely.  I know for a fact that statement hit home with at least some on here.  My girlfriend and I both love to travel and have been to many destinations all over the world.  In the past, I have also traveled alone and I always felt it to be kind of unfulfilling.  It sucked not having someone there to talk to and to share the moment with.  I actually remember thinking that in my head too.  There were times when I thought, "man i wish i had someone here to share this with."  I just think to be alone for the rest of your life sounds like a shitty life, especially when most of your friends begin to get married.  When you hang out with them, you start to feel like the 3rd, 5th, 7th wheel, etc.  Trust me guys, when you find a great girl, it'll all make sense.

    On a side note, this is something peculiar that I noticed about having a girlfriend versus being single.  It seems like when you're single, it is the hardest thing in the world to meet girls.  Or at least hot ones that you're interested in.  But when you're in a relationship, it feels like girls either want you more, or they have a sense that you're taken and want to try and test your fidelity.  It seems like this has been my case going all the way back to high school.  I've been put in situations where my relationship has definitely been tested, and thank goodness I was able to resist temptation.  But, I'm sure a lot of you guys can attest to this feeling.

    I love how guys just assume they'll have a huge lawyer bill or a divorce in the future.  What is wrong with you people that your self confidence is so low that you assume you cant have a healthy relationship?

    These days people seem to think that a marriage needs to be perfect 100% of the time, otherwise get a divorce.  That is ridiculous.  Fighting is a part of life.  You're not always going to be able to get along but when times are tough, being able to come home to someone who loves you NO MATTER WHAT instead of to an empty house is the difference maker.

    My best friend, who is female, got married last May and she said to me "I've finally realized that the key to happiness is being able to accept your partner's faults and then to embrace them"

     

    Ogmike seems a little like me.  I love to travel.  I hate kids.  I found a woman who dislikes kids just as much as I do, if not more and she wants to see the world too.  We just started a 32-year journey to see every football stadium in the NFL.  On Saturday we booked a trip for June to the Bahamas.  I've always wanted to travel but having someone to share it with makes the trip so much more worth it.

    some woman was touting a book on the Corbert Report the other day and said someone like the following regarding a man's version of a happy marriage. "all a man needs for him to be happy in a marraige is a woman who doesn't tell him what to do and plenty of sex"

    I wish i could remember it verbatim

    Women don't care how much sex you want as long there's a trade off of some sort. How many hot women come up to you and say.."Here I am spreading my legs wide open for you, and expect nothing back from you"  And telling you what to do is part of their bull shit routine.

    I'm married. My wife's cool as a cucumber. We have a blast, minimal fighting (you're going to fight w/anyone at some point if you spend enough time w/them), and great sex. She works her ass off, as do I. Shit works out for me personally, I couldn't be happier. In fact I spend far less $ now than I did when I was dating. Remember, in marketing, customer acquisition is far more expensive than customer retention. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
