Men, Are you going to get married? What do you think about marriage today?

I think its a waste of time....

Well, since I've barely even dated, thinking about marriage is kinda putting the cart before the horse.

Only if I can find someone I really like who also has no interest in sex. It's harder than you'd think. I reckon it'll get easier in the 30s-40s though.

That's just kinda weird..

No shit!

I know your joking..

Still if a person actually does do that. It kinda defeats the purpose of being in a relationship, might aswell just be friends.

@cale: Why do you have no interest in sex? There are communities of people that only have platonic relationships so it's not too far fetched.

@falserelic said:

Believe what you want duder.

@driveuplife: I've gone into it in other threads and it tends to attract unwanted attention. I've answered the question here and I'll try to leave it at that for now.

What a sec your actually serious? How do you not want to bust a nut inside of a women. Then again its none of my business, forget I asked.

I'm married and it's great, but you never know the longer it goes boredom sets in and things can go to shit and that's what divorce is for. It beats being single, don't get fooled by all the anti marriage stuff about to be posted, being with someone even if it isn't perfect all the time beats being alone. I'm 26 and married and i think that is too young, i would have liked to wait until 28 but what are you going to do, it felt right.

Being young and single is great, i went through most of high school and most of college single, because i don't really see the point in dating long term that early in life. So i wouldn't rush into anything especially if your in Uni being single is the greatest thing ever!!

I'd like to get married but the pickings are pretty slim out there.

I'm all for getting married when the time is right and with the right person etc, but don't realistically see it happening.

I'm not against marriage but I am scared shitless of it. I've seen divorce completely destroy people before and I don't want to go through that...ever.

I would like to get married someday but right now I gotta figure out my own shit first.

Probably not. I think that marriage can be one of two things:

1. A dreadful bond

2. A happy bond

@cale: I'm guessing that you're an asexual, just like meself?

@tireyo643: I've never been diagnosed with anything, but if that means I have no interest in sex then sure.

It's not a diagnosis silly. =-P And I've found out that it's best to not really talk about this situation as well, as there are only few people that understand.

with prostitution and video games all my needs are fulfilled.

Where's the option for "married, but the wife is estranged"?

But then how do you consummate the marriage?

If I'm correct, as it's what I want myself, is that he just wants companionship rather than a marriage.

Aww man. Invite me when you get married. That should all occur at the reception.

I just don't get why some people want to get married, but not want sexual healing.

I'm already married. Have been for almost 80 years.

Today actually happens to be my 1st anniversary to my wife!

It would be nice to find someone but I can deal on my own

I am married and my wife is just a loud, grotesque, despicable creature that acts as an obstacle between myself and things I like, such as video games. Divorce will end soon, though.

if i find someone that i really love, and we have been together for a long time like 7+ years and its still great, and she really wants to get married, sure ill do it.
i really dont care about the wedding itself but it has some benefits especially if you also get kids, then it can be a hassle at the hospital if they get sick or injured.

I think marriage is great when it works. I'd really like to get married. But it's really hard to find the time to go meet people and date and whatnot. If it happens, great. If not, I've already mentally prepared myself for that possibility.

I am already married and it is going fantastic.

Maybe? I can't say for sure. I've never even had a girlfriend so I'm not even sure if I'll even get that far.

Gay and living in Missouri, so no marriage for the foreseeable future. :\

Marriage: the first step to divorce.

I just don't see the point in marriage, both legally and emotionally. I understand why some (most) people do it, but I find it sort of stupid.

My opinion on it is more developped than that , but I'm at work and don't feel like typing all this on my phone.

Also, my parents have been together for over 30 years now and have done well without marriage.

If you take your time and play it smart, marriage can be really awesome. Just make sure you really connect with this person and have been around them long enough to see through the whole "honeymoon" facade (see their true personality, not just their best face).

But really, just imagine it like this: Marriage is having your spouse be your best friend, someone you are attracted to and in love with. The ultimate partner through the good and the bad. True companionship.

Then again, marriage isn't necessarily for everyone. If you don't have the desire, don't force it. If you have a personality that doesn't predispose you to being affectionate, being in a relationship probably isn't for you.

I'm taking my time because I've seen too many relationships have major problems because people didn't make sure they were compatible first, but I absolutely intend to get married. If you do it right, the benefit absolutely outweighs any negatives.

Fuck no, forever alone!

Unless it's part of your religious beliefs I just don't see the point to it. If you really love the person why can't you just live together? Why do you have to spend thousands of dollars to have a marriage and spend years paying off that debt? And if it doesn't work out and you are the male the relationship guess what? You get fucked over because the laws are designed to give everything to the women and leave the men destitute.

I have known two different people who have gotten divorced because the wife had an affair and was fucking around on the guy for years before he found out and she still got 3/4 of his money, the house, and he never gets to see his kids. Fuck that system and fuck anyone that defends it.

I've never had a relationship last more than a month or so as nobody's ever been able to put up with me for longer than that. So I suppose it's not really up to me. Still, disregarding that I suppose what I think of marriage is that it's a somewhat outdated institution, but with the right person I'm sure it leads to great happiness and satisfaction in life. But I don't know... I just think a lot of people are not very good at finding the right person.

Down to whoever the question arises with. Some people value that as a commitment and dedication, a way of showing you won't give up so easily on them. Others view it as an archaic and outdated way for men to secure women. Some people just don't give a shit; I count myself among them, hence the "it's up to her"

Well I've been dating my best friend for going on 6 years and we both think marriage is kind of a dated system. We've only talked about getting married recently just so buying a house would be easier but I've been saving up to do that on my own anyway. We're not scared we just haven't seen a reason to yet.

This poll is sexist as fuck D:

Nope. I dont really have any interest in relationships. I've just come to the realization that im such a introvert that I don't think any sort of meaningful romantic relationship would work for me. If a girl is open to the idea of casual sexy time then Im down for that but that is about it. And as long as your forthcoming with your intentions I don't think there is anything wrong with having friends with benefits.

My missus died a couple years back. It's difficult to meet new people now that I've finished schooling and work on my own in a rural town. Sure, I'd like to get married some day but I don't see it happening soon.

Probably will when I find the right girl. Gonna be real damn sure of it though.

It's a nice idea, but I doubt it. I've never met a single woman I thought I could marry. Much less one that also felt that way about me. I enjoy my independence too much. I've seen too many guys have their lives completely dominated by their girlfriends/wives. If I was going to be married, she would have to have her own friends and interests. Being with any single person too much makes me sick of them quickly.

Been living with my lady for 19 years. Might get married someday, just waiting to see if it works out. ;)

Sure, I think it's cool. Haven't met anyone yet though.

Wait, how is this poll sexist?

It's asking men their opinion on marriage. It's not implying anything.

Would you consider a similar poll asking women their opinion on marriage to be sexist?

I think she was joking....

well yes if there wasn't an option that said "I'm a man and want to see the answers" or whatever. All I wanted was an option that would allow me to see the poll answers without tainting the sanctity of the poll D:
