Do your research. If you marry based on looks you will likely end in divorce.

Due diligence is key. What makes a girl awesome in college generally turns out to be disastrous in a life partner.

If you like having extra money and if you like having lots of sex then you probably shouldn’t do it.

Is marriage really worth that risk? Divorce rate is 50%. It's just like betting on Thursday night Temple-USF but with half your money.


This is a horrible analogy.

Marriage and birth rates are declining. DOD has even done a study on it.

Now, imagine it was thousands upon thousands of dollars plus emotional scarring because you find out Temple is a total fraud and wasn't who she said she was.

I mean You can do a lot to protect yourself before you get married.

So it’s not really the same.

Is it? Here's a fact: 100% of people on their wedding day think they are going to be together forever. Yet, almost half of them are wrong.

Humans are really bad at accepting uncertainty and tend to live in denial where things are more comfortable and less stressful (that will never happen to me, we're different, etc.). The divorce rate proves this. It's gotten so bad that the numbers show it's basically a toss-up.

You can hedge your bets in gambling as well.

People quit on marriage instead of trying. Also, my parents always said when times were the hardest, they got closer. Now when times get hard people run.

It's a horrible analogy because you have no impact at all on the outcome of a football game.

Marriage requires effort.

I’m not picking on you, but to even consider that, suggest our society is in terminal decline.

The entirety of life itself is a gamble. I just don't want to be someone who lets the fear of losing dictate how I live my life.

You have no control over the person you marry or the decisions they make for themselves. You can give effort, but they don't have to if they don't want to.

Right and has absolutely nothing to do with trash arse females having endless dicks thrown at them through any number of social media apps.
