Girls

Girls marry for love. Boys marry because of a chronic irritation that causes them to gravitate in the direction of objects with certain curvilinear properties. Ashley Montagu

Ok, he died in 1999 at 94 years old, so maybe outdated, but still a common happening on the male side.

Heh. Sounds like ol' Ashley didn't exactly have a lot of real-world relationship experience.

Men are the romantics. Women are the realists.

Boys marry for love. Girls marry because they've found a man suitable to her purposes for a time.

looks like at least someone gets it. +1

Many men marry not for love, but for "love", by which they mean they don't have the self-confidence/experience/ambition/intellectual and/or physical attractiveness to really have interactions with women on equal terms, and they think it means they're gonna get regular sex on lock without really having to work too hard for it, so they pop the question to the first lady who seems even mildly interested.

That's usually a mistake.

You sound like you're as hard up as Blobby.

That?s *always* a mistake.

I think Ashley said the same thing you have, he just defines "love" and "gravitate" differently than you do.

The key to having success in love and war is sort of like what Sun Tzu said - to not fear the result of a hundred battles, one must both know "the enemy", and know thyself.

Like I said, you're as hard up as Blobby.

The funny thing about men, who are pretty satisfied with their romantic lives, is that they don't spend a lot of time engaging with tired played-out "I bet you never get laid!" type of statements, because at the end of the day it doesn't matter what anyone else believes. Attempting to deny accusations or somehow "prove" otherwise is a complete waste of time.

"I bet you never get laid!" is the default-mode fallback statement that everyone says to a man who has opinions about relationships that don't agree with the other party's paradigms. Who hasn't heard it a thousand times before?

I bet you never get laid.

Cheers

Totally irrelevant.

The fact that it all boils down to "getting laid" just proves my point. You are as hard up as Blobby.

Yeah, "hard up" the hottest women in Phoenix most likely. ;-)

You gotta be kidding.

There's nothing wrong with comparing notes, if the talking actually serves a purpose other than just narcissistic aggrandizement.

That makes 1001.

This thread sure didn't go the way I thought it might. Waist/Hip ratio, curvacious shapes. I guess you guys just like to argue.

Carry on.
