Would any of you guys honestly ever get married? I can't get ever see my myself getting married. And the reason this is, is because I just can't see myself staying with one woman my whole life. I mean even if I had kids with a woman and had a whole family of my own, I still probably wouldn't get married. I can see myself as the guy who has kids, lives with his girlfriend and even helps take care of the kids. But marriage? Never, just because I couldn't see myself staying with one woman my whole life. Haha, my children will probably even have a lot of stepbrothers and stepsisters because of that, same father, different mother. A quote from Jay Z sums it all up "Me give my heart to a woman, not for nothin' never happen', I'll be forever mackin'". Even if I calmed down with a woman and started raising a family, I still wouldn't marry her. So yeah, do any of you guys see yourselfs getting married?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Would you honestly ever get married?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You're only 18. You have your whole life ahead of you. Eventually, in your later years you will find a woman who you would not mind marrying.
Example; You know how you have 1 best friend. You guys do everything together and hang out almost everyday for years.
Well you might meet a girl one day who is like that best friend. Only difference is the love/attraction and sex. Aslong as she meets the other needs and is wifey material. Then, you might decide to settle down.
Other than that, your young so enjoy life.

Likely not again. As I say, the only woman out there I might marry would see marriage to be as pointless as I do.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Yeah, but that's in the Mature Man forum. Besides, I'm just asking peoples opinions here, that topic is what it is, telling people a misconception about marriage. So why would you link to that when these are actually 2 different topics? Here I'm simply asking people if they would ever get married or not. So before you go on a minimodding rage, understand the topic you are minimodding.Francisco d'Anconia said:

Two things:ElStud said:
- If you'd read the thread, you'd see that it does answer your question.
- The people who give feedback are guys who are married, were married, or guys trying to get married. Heaven forbid that you'd get any insight from from guys who just didn't become of legal age to get married.
Yes, I will more than likely marry again. My first marriage failed, but I take full responsibility for choosing the wrong mate.
If you were to get married one day make sure it is someone that brings the best out of you and helps build you up and vice versa. Otherwise, just stay single.
Marriage is not for everyone, and you don't have to conform to the idea of it.

It is truly sad to me to see so many people on this forum that are so afraid of entering long term relationships or marriage. I will definitely get married some day, starting a family of my own is something I look forward to. just because you're previous relationships failed (probably with you getting burned) doesn't mean that ALL relationships are doomed for eternity. Just because some girls cheat and screw around doesnt mean that all of them do. And most chicks who screw around now are just doing it because they are young.
anyways, im sick of people trying to saw love and relationships are pointless. In my opinion, that should be the ultimate goal when it comes to women.

possibly, I'd like to settle down sooner or later, but marriage isn't a goal
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Not with the laws the way they are currently.
No marriage and no kids for me ever.
Its not in my best interests ie money and variety.

I was married seven years. It was all right for a while. I still talk to my ex-wife.
Marriage is actually much less of a commitment than kids. Marry a dumb b!tch and you can just divorce her and go on with your life. Knock one up, though, and she can be a complete raving b!tch, but will still be a part of your life because she is your baby momma.
I have a half-dozen exes who would marry me, but that is no big deal. Marriage is really for women anyway. My current gf happens to be my very first gf from high school. She is convinced that she is lucky to be with me. She actually thinks us having sex is her getting lucky. My last ex is a little hotter and a lot freakier, but she has an attitude about sex that I don't like. Even though I had more sex with her than anyone, she still thinks of it as work, like a currency to pay her way. That attitude is a turn-off to me. The current girl never says a cross word, is never b!tchy to me at all, and has never said no in the bedroom. She sleeps at my house about every other day. She is recently divorced as well, and we are obviously on a path toward marriage. I am in no rush and have a lot of other things to get done first, but I would not mind marrying her.

Hey champ.
Without a kiss or a date under your belt, I wouldn't worry about marriage just yet. And I think you need to speed up before you "calm down".Learn to run before you can walk eh?
And as for the Jay-z quote. . . nah, doesn't quite work on you.

Don't criticize him WesCott. She isn't worthy of his hand in marriage until she qualifies herself in beating his high score in RockBand. It isn't the fact that he hasn't gotten a kiss or a date. Get your sh*t straight.WesCottII said:

Yeah, but not for another 15 years the most. I think deep down we all aspire to have offsprings and have them make us proud as they develop, but I'm still only 18; unlike some of my other friends I'm going to worry about that only after I figure my life out and have a steady lifestyle.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
