  1. traders, what's your current/former marital status? Is your marital situation mainly by choice or because of circumstances? Do you think your situation is similar to that of your friends who are not in the trading business?

    To frontrun possible complains: please replace "wife" with "husband" or "domestic partner" in the title if relevant to you - i am just aiming for a short title.

    also please vote in the hooker poll and PM Ivan to move it out of Chat:

  2. Waiting

    Waiting

    let me break it down

    Serious noobs those that study trading seriously DO NOT HAVE wife or girlfriend, can't afford them, they already sacrifice too much

    Successful traders, those that graduated. Are 50/50 some are bachelors enjoying life, others are married.
     
  3. so, you are the one who got neutered? was it by choice or beyond your control? :(

    lol Marriage, I find the whole notion ridiculous and I think the only time that I could ever consider it was if I was madly in love with the girl I was with and she seriously wanted it. Even then she'd have to convince me it was a good idea.

    Waiting

    it was a ritual where we ate my genitals after castration

    is that what you want to hear

    want more

    afterward we had sex into genital wounds, pushing it in

    want more ?
     
  6. I know you can surpass this level of stupidity.

    Behind every good man, is a good (actually better) woman.

    Trading is hard enough without the support of the significant other. If your wife/gf gives you grief about trading ("why can't you get a REAL job"), then you are doomed. People who think like that can never be pleased. Trust me on this. :p
     
  10. Your retort is hilarious. Thanks.
