She made the choice to quit her high paying job on a promise from a man that she had a history of a failed relationship with. What a moron.

I agree that she’s a moron, but why does it give us all a bad name? I heard about a man arrested while wearing a giant penis costume the other day. Does that give all men a bad name? Do we have to worry that no sooner will we marry one than he’ll pull his penis outfit out of the closet and go off dressed in it?

Stupid women give only themselves a bad name. Well, and the men stupid enough to get involved with one of them. Like attracted to like and all that.

Wow. She makes a choice to leave and re-settle with a person, that relationship doesn’t work out, and she sues. Complete bullshit.

If I had, would people have thought that all Torontonians walk around in penis costumes?

Forget marriage, I’ll sport fuck women until the day I die.

God help me, the temptation to make a joke about Canadians and vagina costumes is nearly overwhelming.

But then I’d have to turn back in my PC Nice Person card.

Gem, thanks for posting the video!

If women…?? Dude. ONE woman.

Some women have more discipline than most people of either sex. Other women have very little discipline. Some men have no self-control! But some men DO have it. See how it works? People are all different! Boys are, girls are. It works the same way for both. Sometimes men even exploit women for money. It’s a hard world!

I swear to God, y’all are giving me PMS and it’s not even time for my period.

Yes, my comment was not accurate. You are correct, it is impossible to generalize men and women in terms of their discipline. I suppose my personal experience/observations will bias my opinions to some extent.

Don’t you have somewhere to go, in your PENIS COSTUME?

I wish my graduation had been so eventful.

How is this not a reason to get married? They weren’t even married yet.

It’s more like “Reason #347 not to let yourself get punked by a psychobitch golddigger”.

This is what happens when stupid meets psychobitch.

Not that there aren’t valid reasons not to get married, of course (although in general I am pro-matrimony).

He should have worn a penis costume to court and pleaded insanity to avoid being unjustly prosecuted.

Not including educational loans, around 80% of American women under 30 are in debt. Those figures don’t improve much as time goes on.

Number one way those debts are paid? Marriage.

The comment by njrusmc is entirely accurate.

Now that I think of it, is there ANY situation that can’t be improved by wearing a penis costume?

Eighty percent, huh? And just the women, the men are all golden? If I believed your stat and went with your unspoken implication that men do not have debt they pay through marriage, I might wonder if the age difference in marrying couples might account for the difference in debt levels. Men are earning more because they have worked longer and advanced further post-college. When a couple marries, the dual income/single household allows everyone more financial leeway.

It doesn’t even take a legal marriage to financial break a man.

A buddy of mine bought a house with a woman nearly three years ago. At the time, he owned a nice house of his own overlooking a river, and had about 150K saved for retirement. The river house was going to be his retirement estate in 25 years or so.

Shortly after they bought the house together she began pressuring him to sell he river house. He wouldn’t. She had a few horses, and wanted him to contribute more than half of the expenses at the new house to cover her horse expenses. Then, after they bought the house, with his cash down payment, she dropped the bomb that she had 100K of student loans coming out of deferment in a couple months.

Then the bitch went from 2 horses to 6 during the past three years, and he went from 150K in retirement assets to flat broke. To make matters worse, he just got laid off from a job he’s had for the past 12 years.

The river house is now up for sale. He is still with her. We’ll see how long that lasts since he is now without a job.[/quote]

You friend is a dumbass for allowing himself to be used like that.

If it floats, flies or fucks, a man is better off renting…

That doesn’t mean shit. There is a vast difference between the ditz who runs up thousands of dollars of credit card debt buying designer shoes, and the woman who’s paying a morgage or car loan.

For all the ladies who are saying there are men who exploit women for financial gain and or money problems I know exactly what you mean. My father is of this type and I hate him for it. I hate being related to a sneaky fat prick like him. He lacks the testicular fortitude to walk our frickin dog. He just got fired from his job and sits at home all day while my mom pays the mortgage, for my school, for groceries, and for all the utilities.

I’m not anti social by any means, but in general I hate people. Everyone seems like an idiot these days. Perhaps I am percieved as the same, but I hope not. After college I already have plans to move in with one of my oldest and yet still best friend who happens to be a girl. I don’t know where it would go from there, but she doesn’t waste money on designer clothes or any of the usual garbage associated with steriotypical women. She takes care of buisness first and doesn’t take bull$hit.

Just my two examples of exceptions to how most of the posters in this forum are leaning.

EDIT: Most of the people who have made it to this site I would not consider idiots. But there are a few. But alot of us still jump the gun and point to broad a finger without looking at it from all sides and taking note of exceptions.
