Forums - General Discussion - Anyone want to get married?

Also, the best way to meet girls is not to have a good job, that is probably just as interesting of a conversation topic to most people as it is to say you are a Michael Jackson fan in the time before Michael Jackson's death, mostly because of all the negative media, it sounded absurd to admit that, but deep down most people liked Michael Jackson and it was interesting if a person would admit and talk about it.

Also, take an interest in things that girls like (when I say that, I mean be actually interested, lead it, don't be a tag along or it will just look like you are trying too hard... Although maybe that is one way to learn about things so you can do it better later) - Just Dance parties are a great place to meet women,it is almost impossible to be at a Just Dance party and not meet at least one girl. It is just a matter of not trying to sound like a common over-macho person (don't talk about guns, fighting, or metal music - most people who are into those are people who are compensating because they want to feel more masculine - most girls are not interested in any of that stuff). As I said above, the key is an interesting thing to talk about, if it was 10 years ago and word got out that you were a Michael Jackson fan, it is almost certain that 90% of the girls would be interested in knowing more about you. Maybe saying you are rich is also interesting, but it is not necessarily something that is needed, and it is more difficult (and much more time consuming) to be rich than it is to be interesting in other areas.

So it is not just about keeping an eye out for girls, being the bee looking for a flower; in society now (and for many decades now), to put it more correctly, the girls are the bees, and the guys are the flowers - so you just have to be interesting, not even necessarily the most interesting, just interesting enough. Also, be friendly, smile, etc...

You can find out later if you are compatible with them; and this is why I think dating many different girls and failing a lot is healthy, because then you don't settle for less than someone really special; it is easy for people who don't date/fail a lot to invest way too much feeling into someone who isn't very good to match with. If you only meet and date a few, your sample will be very small - and you will probably end up attached to someone not that special, when there are dozens and dozens of better potential mates that you didn't bother to meet.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I think meeting nice women is easier than you might think; a lot of the time it is just saying hi and having a conversation; especially at a party or a bar - but also even just out in public at the grocery store, public transit, or in a line up. While most girls probably won't want a date, there are still many who do. It really is just a matter of showing available women that you are interested. Falling in love has very little or nothing to do with how successful you are in a job, that is the ladies magazines talking - and they are wrong. People with successful jobs are not more likely to fall in love. I would say all you need is money for dinner and a few drinks (and your own place) - and a lowly job can afford that.


cool conversation! I am at the age where marriage is becoming desirable, but still feel like I have to juggle building a relationship with advancing my carreer. More often than not, I'm afriad to say, the two compete for my time, rather than balance each other out. In that sense I can definitely relate with Mr.Khan.

Hahaha, that can be true, that's what weekends are for =P

Years ago (when I was 19) we dared one of my friends to ask 10 random girls to marry him when we were downtown one friday night, the 6th girl said yes ... Let's just put it nicely and say she was bat-shit crazy and it ended disastrously badly (while being hilarious) a couple weeks later.

The moral of the story is not to marry anyone who says yes without knowing you.


so they were actually married for a brief time? DETAILS MAN!


They didn't actually get married, but they were engaged for a couple of weeks

I definitely agree with the bolded! The more women you get to know, the more you realize there is a special someone who is compatible with you just the way you are! Can take a hell of a long time to find her, though

About the other part, you make me wish I was more open about my opinion of MJ before he died, at the very least I would've gotten some action out of it

While I agree with you that falling in love has little to do with job status, I don't believe that wanting to have job security before serious relationships is due to some womens magazine as you put it. As my reasoning for it is entirely personal about not feeling worthy of another without having my own affairs in order rather than according to some pre-conceived notions from whatever source.  

In my case it's a simple matter of logic. You graduate from college (or from high school, or finish a stint with the military, or whatever your threshold for independent adulthood is) then you have two big things you need to do: get a career and build a family. In some cases, the latter is easier (i've noticed on my facebook that quite some people from my high school are married or headed that way and haven't even graduated yet), but in my case, the former is, especially because me finding a career might require a good deal of relocating. While i'll certainly pick up any romantic opportunity that comes my way while i'm looking, i won't go looking for anything serious until my job is stable, which is simply because getting a stable career is enough of a burden without having to juggle the job-hunting process with a love life.

I most likely will in a few years when I get a stable job to afford the wedding. I have a very stable relationship with my girlfriend and I can see myself marrying her in a few years.

I really like you as a friend, but your penis is far too small to satisfy me anally. We would never last.

I hope you understand.


But Montreals my favorite hockey team, always has been!

So do you think we should have a surrogate mother or go for adoption?



Gilgamesh or not, now or later; it's doubtful.



No way... too young... maybe at 30
