Now as for a reason to NOT get married. Well accidental parenting happens eh. If you can't keep the dna to yourself and you ge her pregnant, get over it, you both screwed up. Give it up for adoption to one of so many couples that CAN'T have kids. Because getting married just because she got pregnant is idiotic. You get married because you plan to get old and ugly with her after a long enjoyable marriage of many years. Not because you fucked up and had a kid accidentally.

That's not really a reason to avoid getting married. That's just a bad reason to get married (in your opinion).

Several pictures of women getting wider, and not one picture of a beer gut fat assed middle aged man who never had to carry a kid for 9 months. Are there not any other women on this pathetic thread?

I sit in a Tim Horton's during the day watching the working class come and go. Just a steady stream of typical humanity. And no shortage of guys that can't dress worth shit, can't use a belt properly even when they have one and likely don't like the fact that you can't usually use a belt decently with a beer gut at any rate. Which likely explains why most older men prefer to wear the belt under the gut, because around the waist would make them realize that they are actually a 50 inch waist and not what they are pretending to have.

You sound like an angry person.

And that's saying something, coming from me.

When you love your partner/ significant other, it's a nice thing to be able to express your feelings for that person.

Marriage is one of the ultimate forms of expressing love.(Not that all people think the same though)

I wonder - do you think marriage would hold the same value if it didn't have all those legal 'benefits' tied to it?

The true value of marriage lies on the people that get married, not on legal 'benefits' or how most of society views the subject.

So yes, it will still have value. At least for me and dozens of people I know.

I have a feeling that many married couples would laugh at the conceptions of marriage in this thread. I think that some sort of formal commitment can be very important, especially if children are involved. And before anyone says "but if you need formal commitment should you really be marrying that person", no, stop. It's not that you "need" it, so much as it changes the dynamics of the relationship in a positive way. It solidifies your mutual agreement that you are in this together, and that you shouldn't feel like you can just walk out because you had a bad day. It promotes getting over hardships, not running away from them. #2deep

Without the legal benefits, though, how is a married couple any different from a couple that isn't married?

Well I was annoyed at all the atypical comments from males raging on female appearances as if they look any different to women. Most of you guys are nothing to drool over after a couple of years of married life.
While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku.
At least I can go see her in concert.

You miss one important fact though, men stay virile and generally fit for longer, while women declines much faster and ditch their fertility to be able to live longer in a energy-saving mode, so to speak.
But other than fertility, I suppose the difference isn't too big.

You read my mind...

Yea the tons of responsibility that comes after getting married sucks, and your spouse is gonna eventually get old... though Benjamin Franklin might disagree



Some would say that love overcomes all, well, maybe i'll change if i ever find a true love

No what he truly misses is that is almost irrelevant how not as good a man might look, he probably wasn't much from the time she married him anyway, because men see looks while women see your car, your house and your bank account. Your handsome looks never where much part of the equation anyway.

Looks are actually a huge part of the initial attraction, but once they find out he's poor they'll drop him in a second, just like you say.
I'm dead. Don't come looking for me.

I don't want kids.
I don't want my house dirty every 5 minutes.
I can't cook (there goes my wife quality)

Oh and
I'm antisocial + asexual (mostly. But me finding love = finding Slenderman in the woods).

If you're religious or you want tax breaks. Those are the only reasons to get married. You also set yourself up for the very real possibility that you will lose the house and a substantial portion of your money if there ends up being a divorce, which is more likely than for there to not be one.

I don't want to get married because I don't want kids (I enjoy peace and quiet), I enjoy being alone, I don't want to constantly answer to someone, and I don't want any unnecessary obligations.

1. You'd have to break up with your waifu in order to get married.
Or
2. Your waifu would get jealous/your wife would get jealous of your waifu

The truth is that people lack the self-sacrifice, responsibility, maturity, and commitment. Sorry guys, it's not about love and finding personal happiness; you don't have to get married for that.

Think one of them would end up killing the other?

As far as losing half your shit and money and so on, you could always plan for a scaled-down SHTF scenario and write up a prenup/keep separate bank accounts/etc.
If she outright refuses, my guess is she's looking to get half your shit.

Or there is a fundamental lack of trust between you two and perhaps you two shouldn't get married.
