Mormon weddings are based on lust

[_asbestosman]

So are we talking about what women want men to like them for or what we as natural men actually naturally like without training ourselves otherwise?

We should label it, "Socially acceptable reasons to love a woman as determined by the national society of feminists, a.k.a. love." vs. Nonsocially acceptable reasons to like a woman as determined by the said society, a.k.a. lust"

???

I thought I said there's nothing wrong with liking a woman for her body (it's a sign of health). It's natural. It's good. If that's all you consider, though, you're gonna feel pretty crappy when the magic wears off.

I didn't have to train myself to like smart women any more than I trained myself to like redheads. It came naturally. I don't think there's anything wrong with either. In fact my first post was to counter the notion that men's lust is shallow--only focusing on the skin-deep. I don't think that in general that's the case. I see nothing wrong with considering the skin-deep beauty, but I think it's foolish not to consider the other aspects as well and that furthermore by nature we in fact do consider other aspects--at least I thought so. Maybe I'm wrong. Am I really all that abnormal in liking women not just for hair but for brains? Really? I really don't think it's that strange.

What were Mormon weddings prior to weddings being invented - shagfests?

Mormons hadn't been invented yet.

H.

Hmmm....

Wasn't Christ a Mormon?

I'm not speaking from personal experience, by the way. We were a little older and waited like a year and half. Which, in Mormon time, is like eight years.

LOL

From now on, it's not "dog years," it's "LDS engagement years."

Well, we know that Brigham Young and Joseph Smith were homosexual lovers.

Defenders of Mormonism have failed to conclusively refute this assertion, and until they do, I think we can safely rely on the default position that the assertion is true.

So true. "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". Also, "you can't prove a negative".

I've been waiting for an opportunity to use those lines.

Yes.

There is no evidence, either, that Brigham Young and Joseph Smith did not dress up in capes and masks to fight crime.

I never really noticed the magic wearing off. We're 30 something and I still feel the same way I did when I married 8 years ago. It's just a blessing of good health and adequate testosterone.

I see nothing wrong with considering the skin-deep beauty, but I think it's foolish not to consider the other aspects as well and that furthermore by nature we in fact do consider other aspects--at least I thought so.

I wanted good breeding material in a spouse as well.

I don't find it strange at all. But liking someone for their brains is probably not ultimately accepted by the feminist alliance, hence that too will be labeled lust. Mental ability, at least the specific kind that makes money in our society, has a lot more to do with genetics and less to do with nurture than most people are happy believing. Again, you'll get the, "I can't help it that I'm not smart," just like you got, "I can't help it that I'm fat."
