Do all women do this?!?

[boo7382]

Very true Boo.

I doesn't have to be miserable... life is what you make it. My best marriage advice would be don't rush into it.

Oh trust me I am not rushing into it. I dont plan on even thinking about being married for atleast another 6 or 7 years unless Mr Right comes along.

This is why I keep thinking that I am being too picky when it comes to just simply finding a boyfriend. I just have so many things that I want....its almost like if I give up on being picky I would just be settling for a guy and I definitely don't want to do that.

I would much rather be in a relationship than lonely, thats for sure.

As a priest told us today (I work with them) ... you must be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you want to marry the woman you want to marry. If you have any shadow of a doubt, don't do it until you work it out, or find someone else.

In Japan if you aren't married by about 25-26, your parents will often "find" you a "mate". Get ready for THAT boo.

hahaha actually my parents could probably find some legit decent guys. The guys who I have introduced to my pops and he actually likes are ones that I could definitely see myself dating (someone like them, that is)

my mom on the other hand, ehhhh not so much. She tends to lean toward to more douchey type (cept for my dad of course). Like she will say something like "Oh, I really like _____. You two should totally meet up and go out."

No mom. No.

That is excellent advice.

My parents have set me up before...it was fun once and bad all the other times. The biggest turnoff I have for a woman, besides being uglier than a mud fence, is being boring.

Funny though, because it's the opposite for me. My mom has a good eye for the girls and my dad picks girls I think are totally wrong for me.

It is miserable...don't ever do it!

Not for everyone.

I love being married. Wouldn't change it for anything every. And we've went through the poo too and came out stronger.

Even if he walked in the door next week and said he was leaving me for another women or was ou of here for some other random reason(which I highly doubt is going to happen) I am happy to have spent the last 10 years of my life hanging out with him and having a fun time.

[The Saltman]

ya I agree with cat, When I got married I had some serious troubles in my life. We got married, went through growing pains and I love her more because of it. Are things perfect? *** no, but would I ever change anything? no.

[Zcustom]

Marriage is all about honesty, simple as that.

My wife and I are happy because we NEVER keep stuff bottled up. I tell her everything because I have no secrets and it does neither one of us any good if one is pissed but won't say why.

Sometimes it's tough to hear the truth but it's much better than the alternative.

agreed.

Cant STAND people who don't have a sense of humor. It drives me up the fuging wall. In my opinion, personality/sense of humor give guys a couple points extra and make them more attractive.

I went out with this guy a couple weeks ago to dinner on a date cuz he had asked me out. I kept cracking jokes at dinner and trying to mess with him and he just kept looking at me with this blank stare EVERY time I would try to mess with him or crack a joke. I would find myself laughing alone. Finally I was just like, why do you keep being so serious?!

[JakeFlake]

ahh, the infamous Brio date, huh?

I think you went on a date with the Batman.

I like the advice on marriage, especially the honesty part. I agree with that for the most part, except for little things that might be better off not being said in the first place (like calling your wife fat, unless she really has a problem with her weight...touchy subject with women).

For me, it might be tough to get married. I admit it, I'm shallow. If I got married thinking that I "settled", the marriage would not be a success. And likewise I wouldn't want her to feel that way. (even though I read an article a few months ago about how women who feel like they are more attractive than their mate tend to be happier in the marriage)

And along with my comment about being boring - I could never marry someone who didn't keep it fresh. I can't keep having the same conversations and going through the same routine without blowing my brains out. I need a woman with her own life and ideas to contrast with mine, even if it means we argue or don't see eye to eye on SOME things. Maybe it sounds naive and immature but I'd like to hate my wife as much as I'd love her (for being my equal, mostly). All in an ideal world, of course.
