Marriage is an institution based upon love. "Love, is merely man's delusion that one woman differs from another... " - H. L. Mencken

"The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies."--H.L. Mencken

Different faces, same woman. Not everyone will understand, but its true. And you can bet that she has done more sexually deviant things than any man can ever possibly even imagine, and loved every minute of it.

My opinion is that love doesn't exist. The most "loving" animal on this planet is a dog. It doesn't care if you are fat, skinny, ugly, etc. and will come running every time you show up at home to greet you. But the truth is that if you stopped feeding it, eventually it would run off to find someone else to "love". All humans are animals. All animals/human actions are selfishly driven. Therefore, love is just selfishness with our delusions making it seem like there is more too it.

I am actually pretty much ok with knowing that though. It means I can be as selfish as I want, and feel zero remorse for it. Girlfriend is getting fat, and out of control? Kick that bitch to the curb, and get a newer model. Plenty of pussy in the world, and they keep getting younger and hotter as time goes by.

Mencken was a genius, period.

Mencken always was a badass. This is my new favorite quotation by him. Thanks for sharing :)

It used to piss off/disappoint my ex-wife so much when I wouldn't say that she was "the one", and I would say there are a number of "ones" out there for anybody (still a bit blue pill thinking, but was turning red fast) and we just happened to meet and 'click'.

I wonder how much she really drank the Disney kool-aid and believed it, or was just doing her best unicorn impression (it was damn convincing, but like all acts, impossible to maintain forever).

I can't agree with this guy. I've never been alarmed at being on my own, and I know too many men who would never limit themselves by confining themselves to marriage or any other so called intitution. Lonely is a illusion and a coveted state of mind, not an affliction we have no control over..most I've encountered reveled in it while whining about it. 9 out of ten is an over estimate!

I love HL Mencken

He also said, "All government, in its essence, is organized exploitation."

He had the most biting and truthful wit!

All people including women believe in this image called love and when the real image is revealed in their partners they hate what they see and feel cheated.
