You know how it goes. She was pretty and smiled a lot etc and he hasn't been burned or watched other people get burned and now here he is. Your 10 or 1 in a 100 sandwiches metaphor seems to be pretty accurate. This is unfortunately common enough to be a sad joke or stereotype. I think it's more international though.
I see where you're coming from but I'm talking more about just the general emotions that start to come about after a certain time of being pair bound together not so much the marriage power dynamic which I agree with you on.
I know many of those guys and they just shrug about it. The majority of the time the women very clearly would never have even considered the guy if she was child-free.
Cellphones definitely are cheating machines, but I think it comes down more to how they use them. That's a heavy duty restriction that limits your options maybe a little too much. A girl who spends all of her phone time looking at interior decorating ideas and cats on pintrest is very different from a girl who spends all of her time posting pictures of her ass on instagram.
Jeff Bezos's divorce in 2019 from MacKenzie Bezos; is the most expensive divorce with MacKenzie Bezos getting $38 billion ($40.3 billion inflation adjusted).[1] I think Mackenzie actually had a big part in making amazon but oh boy that's a lot of cash.
I don't think completely detaching yourself (for me at least) from women is a positive thing. They can make a lot of things in life awesome, you just have to be careful and deliberate.
Got to admit the first 3 months are a pretty awesome high lol. I'm not surprised that they fall for it considering most people's relative lack of discipline and the sway of a pair of boobs.
A few lawyers I've chatted with have told me the prenup will cover nearly everything...and that what I'm thinking of is a hurricane scenario where 99% of the time you just need an umbrella. Lets just say I'm skeptical.
As long as you're happy that's great. I'm happy alone too but having a girlfriend definitely makes life better for me. The key is to avoid all of the bad stuff. I wish I could just turn off the biology some days though for sure.
No doubt about that, but It looks like most of the elderly even with a family just get dumped in a home when they become enough of an inconvenience. This is coming from my healthcare experience and from being close to some very big families where out of 10+ brothers and sisters all you get is the biggest saddest game of hot potato you've ever seen.
