Absolutely true that if you have a great and loyal gal, marriage is worth it. Marriage is also best for kids. But there are a number of guys on here who either have been off the market for a while or don't understand today's dating realities.
The problem with relationships is that most guys settle for the first and best thing they find without any standards for themselves. I actually want a true long-term relationship at some point, maybe forever, but it`s not something I`m looking for actively. When she shows up and I know that I don`t want someone else the next day, then I know. Until then...
i've been married for 20+ years. no problem there. dinner is always fresh and better than any restaurant. + often there is a periods when my wife is making more than me. was it worth it? yes,if you ask me. hint: we do not have 'my' and 'her', like most of american couples(at least on tv). accounts,cars,whatever-it's ours. just like in trading-you have find what's fits you best,not what will make you most money,but what you comfortable to trade. i have plenty of projects with high risk\high rewards,but prefer to trade small and slow. тише едешь-дальше будешь. it like slow and steady wins the race in english. if you date super hot, "popular" girl-make sure you can handle it and have a clue about possible outcome of such marriage .
Yes I agree that very successful men usually cannot be loyal with one woman or handle the continuous nagging. Its human nature. Very few men do the numbers are in a minority.
Don't hold someone that is a wasting asset long term. Look for good fundamentals, solid growth potential, and someone you would be comfortable holding for a long time. Warren Buffet style.
losers in trading go for junk trades, and wonder why they lose money losers in health like junk food , and later wonder why they are f#@kd losers in "the game" like junk relationships, and later wonder where it went wrong.
