wow...I'm glad women like that exist, she must really love him to marry despite his disfigurement, I really hope I can meet a girl like that

guys don't let this become an anti-war thread! m'getting sick of those lol

 

[Docs]

Rawr! Sexy little baby! *licks*

 

[sexxyback]

she must really love him

 

[6-heads lewis]

well he did get a lot of media attention coming back. theres a lot of preesure on her from media, family anf friends to stay with him, otherwise be labelled all sorts of nasty things...

im curious to see how they will end up 1 year from marriage.

its kind of like the avg joe winning the lottery saying he wont quit his day job.

 

[eminence]

look at her facial expression, it wont last

 

[Teflon_Mcgee]

That is sad. She doesn't look happy.

That poor guy.
I question if I could ever love someone enought to do what she is. Maybe staying married, but getting married?

He had some balls to not end it for himself. I always told myself there is no way I would ever come back disfigured like that.

beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. I see a lot of threads out here that say's " looks doesnt matter" to a chick and that's total crap because it does....to an extent. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

before you start getting all mushy on me just wait five years. we will see where things stand at that time.

is it sad? no. you join the marines to fight. you don't join the marines to kiss babies and shake hands. every marine wants to blow things up and kill people. just part of that lifestyle. with that comes the risk of injury or never coming home.

i feel sorry for all the little kids who get caught up in war zones. i don't care if it is iraq, the balkans, chechnya, or sudan. those little b****** are f****** before they can even make their own decisions about what to do with their lives.

Here's some before and after pictures of him.

Honestly, that is just really sad. It's one of those things that just makes you wonder..

Thanks for the link. It's like watching a slow train wreck.

dood...theres only 2 before pics in there...If you noticed, its only in those 2 pics where she looks trully happy. She looks really puzzled/disgusted in the rest(the pic where he kisses her)...Shes gotta be doing this because of pressure.

 

[howardalex]

actually looking at this, that's just harsh on the woman - she isn't enjoying it and he looks like that thing from resident evil, he shouldn't have made her do it

 

[Celadus]

I wonder how he hears. I don't see any ear holes. Strong guy to keep going. I'd probably OD.

 

[Potbelly]

looks like some guy from doom...

 

[wayword]

That is sad. She doesn't look happy.

She looks shell-shocked like a deer-caught-in-headlights.

I give this marriage 2 years, tops.

Oh wait, "looks don't matter," right? Guess they'll live happily ever after then...

 

[Hitman10000]

Here's another great picture of the happy couple!

Sad, but i'm sure he doesn't want pity.

Good luck to him.

 

[wayword]

Right. Otherwise she never would have married him.

Dude, I've heard of cases similar to this before.

She can't back out now or would seem incredibly "shallow" and uncaring. Besides, women have nothing to lose getting married, anyways. She can get a no fault divorce in 2 weeks and take half his worth. So, simply walking down the aisle proves NOTHING.

Come back in 2 years though, and then let's see how things are holding up...

But, I think the look on her face already says it all, though. It's not joy, it's a "what the fook am I doing, here, ZOMG help somebody save me!" look! If you know anything about BL, she is NEVER looking at him (but usually away from or into the distance), never smiling (except for a forced fake smile) and is shrinking back when he has to grab her to kiss her. I mean, he looks like he's at a wedding, she looks like she's at a funeral!!!

I think she's still a bit in shock and it hasn't quite sunk in yet...but when it finally does - she will be looking for an OUT. But if not, this dude was DAMNED LUCKY in love - if not life!

 

[Rebound Material]

Just to start off, I can honestly say I was neutral when it came to the whole "looks matter"/"looks dont matter" topics...

But lets say that this guy(guy in the pics) were to go clubbing, or to a bar and tried to game chicks...do you think he'll succeed? Not to sound cruel, but Im pretty damn sure that average looking chicks and above would just stop him on his tracks just because of the way he looks...
