Marriage will ruin your

How can two people with the same level of authority, same legal rights, same pay, same ... yet while at least one is incapable of comprehending shit live peacefully under the same roof for more than a few days?

After David Letterman and Tiger Woods I decided to continue this thread.

People seem so outraged and can not believe what they hear.

Imagine you are an A list celbrity, what was Mr Letterman or Woods supposed to do when they want to have a taste ?

Run an ad on match or craigslist ?

The only thing hard to believe is that a man who makes 35M a year or 100M a year wants to get married.

That's because Tiger has lead a most "coddled" and "protected" life ever since he attended Stanford.

He isn't really well-versed in being "street" smart.

The voice-mail message that he left for one of his girlfriends (to change her name in the address book of his cell-phone) sounded as though he was a little kid, locked in the bathroom with only 15 seconds to speak before his Mom caught him.

A terribly enlightening reflection, indeed.

Quote from TraderZones:

Maybe if your parents hadn't married, you wouldn't be here...

But ranting about something that you happen to think is right ignores the fact there are lots of people on the other side.

So far, the bottom 10% of the male ET population seems to be egging you on. The ragging on females belies the fact that the vast majority of criminals are male and men are in no way better than females nor are females better than male. it is the inidividuals that matter, not the stereotype from an internet scrooge that measures commitment by ensuring that others in his life know that money comes first.

Again, married men outlive single men. And if you want kids, that is kind of the way it is done. I have a wife and many of my friends are female and they are very good people. And by the way, a large part of the workforce is female.

You are a bitter hermit who again, will understand when you reach an age that the silence will catch up to you.

We don't need a prophet of marital doom. Don't bother answering, you will be on ignore before I need to see your 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th new thread with your pet website.

Marriage has little to do with breeding, don`t unmarried animals breed?

Should one only rant about stuff that everyone agrees upon?

What`s considered criminal nowadays?

When did women get the right to vote, when was fiat money implemented, when did collectivism make its mark?

"married men outlive single men", are you familiar with the word causality?

So women get pregnant when they get married? or when a guy fucks them at the right time of the month?

What are "good people"?

About half of the human race are female, half of the electorate in the western world are female etc.

What has being a hermit to do with not geting married, one can have relationships with women without getting married/supporting the woman financially(a child is an exception).

Are all humans supposed to live monogamous lifes with one partner from they`re 20 till they die?

Isn`t censorship wonderful, you can live in your own little bubble?

What is so great about being married?

Waite and Gallagher offer several answers:

Better Financial Picture
The old saying "Two can live as cheaply as one" isn't exactly true. Two do appear to be able to live as cheaply as one and a half persons, though. That means sharing furniture, food, insurance benefits, a car, etcâ¦. And, when one person becomes ill, loses his or her job, or needs emotional support due to stressors, the spouse is there to help. This is cheaper too, as in home nurses, credit card debt, and therapists cost more.
Married men are more successful in work as well, getting promoted more often and receiving higher performance appraisals. They also miss work or arrive late less often (Kostiuk and Follman, 1989, and Shaw, 1987). As for women, white married women (without children) earn 4% more and black married women earn 10% more than their single peers (Waite, 1995). While some point out that house work for married women (37 hours per week) is greater than that of single women (25 hours), half of that is due to having children (South and Spitze, 1994).

Longer Life
Married people live longer as well. Single men have mortality rates that are 250% higher than married men. Single women have mortality rates that are 50% higher than married women (Ross et all, 1990). Having a spouse can decrease your risk for dying from cancer as much as knocking ten years off your life. Single people spend longer in the hospital, and have a greater risk of dying after surgery (Goodwin et al, 1987).
Married women are 30% more likely to rate their health as excellent or very good compared to single women, and 40% less likely to rate their health as only fair or poor compared to single women. Based on life expectancies, nine of ten married men and women alive at age 48 are alive at 65, while only six of ten single men and eight of ten single women make it to 65. Married men may have better immune systems as well, either from support or from nagging to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, etcâ¦ and may be at less risk to catch colds (Cohen et al, 1997)

Better Mental Health
Married men are half as likely to commit suicide as single men, and one third as likely as divorced men. Widowed men under 45 are nine times more likely to commit suicide as married men (Smith, Mercy, and Conn, 1988). Married people report lower levels of depression and distress, and 40% say they are very happy with their lives, compared to about 25% in single people. Married people were half as likely to say they were unhappy with their lives.
Single men drink twice as much as married men, and one out of four say their drinking causes problems. Only one of seven married men says the same. One out of six single men abstains from alcohol, but one in four married men do (Miller-Tutzauer et al, 1991).

Better Sex
About 40% of married people have sex twice a week, compared to 20-25% of single and cohabitating men and women. Over 40% of married women said their sex life was emotionally and physically satisfying, compared to about 30% of single women. For men, it's 50% of married men are physically and emotionally contents versus 38% of cohabitating men.

Why do you have to be married to live toghether/have sex/live long etc?

Are you familiar with the word causality?

Quote from TraderZones:

Hardly. 90+% traders are estimated to lose their money, but ET, its netizens, brokers, exchanges, etc. are all still here.

If they all are on Loki's level - marriage is evil, women are bad while men are good, ensure you notify potential future spouse that they are money-grubbers and need to sign off that what is his is his - it is more likely 90% of marriages to that type fail. A lot of the failed marriages are the 3rd or 4th marriage variety person.

Men are not better, I`d live with a women, not a man, ergo women are better!

And those types bolt at the first sign of trouble, be they male or
female. It is called lack of commitment.

Can`t one make a commitment, without bringing a church/the government into the equation?

Rich men have a mistresses, rich couples can live in seperate households, rich men have a better health plan etc, are you familiar with the word causality?

Poster (Loik) and (Loki) you have freedom to not marry. Why marriage make you so crazy? No one force you to marry, so who care?

Everyone has heard of Steve Cohen. He is featured in Market Wizards now he is worth 6 Billions.

Guess what ?

His first wife (they divorced over 25 years ago) wanted 300 Millions from him and now she is taking him to court.

Responding to the suit, a SAC spokesman, Jonathan Gasthalter, said Wednesday in a statement: âThese are ludicrous allegations made by a former spouse that are entirely without merit. It is disgraceful that a member of the bar would assist her in what can only be considered a transparent attempt to extort money.â

So you see, it is the same story again and again.
