There are logical reasons for men to be married. They live longer, with better health, and on average have a more satisfying life when married.
But what about divorce? Or alimony? I think marriage is logical when kids are involved, otherwise I don't really see the point.
I imagine marriage is MORE satisfying when there are NOT children! :)
Are most of your friends married, GoodK?
I'd say most of my friends are single. My best friend and writing partner is married, but most of my friends here in California are single. My "Utah friends" are all single but cruising the BYU campus looking to change that.

Dorkiness in females goes over a lot better than dorkiness in guys. If anyone here met me in person, I think they would be surprised.
There's talk about a MDB get together. I imagine we'd all be surprised to meet up face to face. I'm rather quiet... I'm sure people would be rather surprised at that. :)
I wonder if it would ever happen. Where would it take place, Utah?
Seems like we are spread out across the country, and the world.
I'm pretty quiet too, I'm not sure if that comes across in my posts. And I don't think I look or act like someone who would post in religious discussion boards. My parents still nag me to pull my pants up and to take off my hat at the dinner table...

Well I was gonna go with the "don't get married" line, but apparently there are bigger problems. If you are wearing pants that drape below your ass or show a substantial part of your underwear and you have a baseball cap permanently stapled to your head, then things are indeed dire. Unless you want to sort through the cast off's of Flavor Flav you need to take a long look in the mirror and check yourself before you wreck yourself.
I could let the pants slide, I suppose, but in my book there is nothing worse than a hathead. It screams frat jerk.
Please get help.

Ouch. Thanks for helping keep my self-esteem in check ;)
For the record, I am not the frat jerk type. But I do think I look better with a hat on.

No one looks better with a hat on. Trust me.
And don't sweat the marriage thing either.

And the teachings of Professor Tom Leykis have allowed me to appreciate being unattached again.
Hard to know who the bigger dumbass is, Tom, or the people who listen to him.
Use women like tissue
be selfish
kids are a burden
marrriage is for suckers
Yeh, way to pick your heroes. Why not add on some drug and alcohol abuse, not alot, just enough to make you look cool to the easy women with low self esteem. Remember what Tom says, all those strippers were probaby abused by their Fathers, and need a new daddy who loves them, and strippers love drugs. Share a little with them and think how lucky you could get !
Moron.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. - Plato
Sounds like Howard Stern a bit. Those sentiments always bothered me. There were dancers that were obviously in bad spots and married to men that beat them -- some lived in motels and were prostitutes. Yet, they were across the spectrum. I get really tired of the bs that they were all abused by their daddies or some nonsense. It certainly wasn't the case for me. I was a spoiled rotten lil rich girl that went absolutely frickin' wild 'cause I was rebelling. Then I was scared to go home and face my parents! Uh. Oh.
I also don't like the idea that we are all easy. When I started dancing I'd been with one man and he'd been my long term lover. I was pushing the limits, testing what I could do, essentially.
I did marry a wild thing when I went out and about in the world -- yet, that was not low self esteem -- it was 'cause it would piss my parents off! :)
It took me being married to a man that was acceptable to societies standards and living in the "American Dream" to sap me of my self-esteem! Sheesh.
So, Leykis says that crap, too? That's rather nonsense, really.
