I was meant to be married.:gd

18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breast* satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
(Proverbs 5:18-19)

* I had to change the noun from plural to singular in my Bible after my wife's mastectomy.

Well, you're going to get married some day anyway. Whether you like it or not. So get used to it lol! :okbro
As long as women keep standing guys up....say they want to go on dates but then ghost them.....guys will NEVER believe any woman who has ever done that. Especially when she declares her love for a guy.

Women lie way too easily. Everything from "I have a boyfriend" to "I've never loved anyone the way I've loved you" to even the stupid "I need $20 for________."

So...
Yeah....there's that.

Only those who are into some really weird stuff. Whips and leather straps are not my cup of tea.
The thing is, weird stuff can be fun. Leather straps might even be fun if you're creative. But slapping each other across the face with it? Not my cup of tea either. :funlaugh2

Maybe they were aiming. :funlaugh2
It seems like it for some of them. That could put an eye out! I think the men should have at least been blind folded (to protect their eyes). lol

Interestingly, threads with titles like "why men do not want to get married" are always flooded with married men telling us why they married and nobody cares about why men do not want to get married :D
I went into this thread expecting a solid explanation on the legal and cultural pitfalls men face with marriage today.

From my understanding, men are walking away from marriage today because there's perverse legal incentive for women to divorce and the modern culture has pushed women into self-centeredness and away from the values that would make for good wives.

These values include purity, service, nurturing, cheerfulness, and loyalty.

A good wife accepts and loves her husband without trying to change him. She focuses on the good in him and leaves the rest in God’s stronger hands.

Western culture is lopsided in that we still expect men to be traditionally masculine providers and protectors, but its become politically incorrect to hold women to a dutiful standard on her end, even the basic standard of staying in the marriage when unhappy.

That's not to say I don't enjoy weddings though. You know, when other people are getting married. I get to drink and they get to sign up for a lifetime of misery. :funlaugh2
