  • dsmyre, on 06/02/2008, -0/+4I think women prefer staying single over a bad marriage, as well. It's fine so long as they don't become angry or bitter about it.

    Any man, I don't care how emotional/sensitive/co-dependent, would rather be single in the end than married if it would prevent a lifetime of problems.

    Women on the other hand, need that emotional care crap. Not to say men don't but we'd rather have the latter when comparing the two.

    I would just like an uninhibited nymphomaniac to visit me every now and again nowadays.
  • n0gnuz, on 06/04/2008, -0/+1Next up: Men prefer being solo over a risky marriage that probably will end with a sexist divorce industry awarding their house, children, and money to the woman who made their lives miserable, leaving them destitute and unable to see their children.

    Fear of making mistakes? How about fear of being victimized?
  • sagenhoney, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Marriage can be good or bad - and that's all a matter of commitment and compromise (and perspective), but I guess the same can be said for any relationship. Marriage is a concept you live by, not a piece of paper...and frankly I see no problem in people who never marry. I usually suggest that people who are thinking about marriage should live with each other first anyway - and yes, I know that makes me a "heathen" in the eyes of some, but to me it is common sense.
