the thread about nothing...

Saw two boys get dropped at the bar last night

You come home from your full time job as a corporate slave. Arriving at the door step, is the screaming of your children who have left a complete mess in your hallway with toys and snacks. Instead of smelling a nice roast or meat being cooked in the kitchen, you hear your wife screaming from upstairs, telling you that she is going out with her friends and that you need to make your own dinner. She also tells you to feed the kids and to leave her money on the table.

So instead of getting changed, you immediately crash on your couch, without realising you just sat on the remote with sticky toffee and chocolates on your bottom. But you simply don't care to notice. Instead, you look at all the bills on the coffee table where you can barely put your feet on because of all the plates and crumbs and endless number of paper bills. You simply sit there in deep contemplation, wondering where did you go wrong?

This my friends, is a common thought that goes through the mind of the everyday American man. There simply is no benefit to a lifelong marriage. Think about
it. Nothing good adds up. You have a women who will soon put on weight, cut her hair short, treat you like a beaten dog, while raising your suspicions as to what she is constantly up to. Then you have to worry about your kids futures and how you can afford to pay for their braces and school fees, while at the same time, constantly dread the feeling of knowing that you can potentially lose your job at the end of month, thanks to cutbacks, outsourcing or even automation.


The game of marriage is a death trap, where most of the time, you will end up losing in the end. You can’t even escape it because you know the family courts will tear you up from the inside and you will lose everything in the end. Which is why I always advocate for men to wake up to their senses, and to never cave into the pressure of marriage. I see my father and mother, who are senior citizens, and even though they are still married, they have no happiness and whenever I look at my father’s face, all I see is a broken man. A broken man.

Do not end up like this. Never conform to the traditional expectations of society but realise, that society is nothing but a Matrix,which is designed to keep you shackled up in chains. The moment you reject all the premises which are designed to keep you in line, will be the day, that you can truly be liberated from the prison that surrounds us.

Sounds like real talk to me...

No benefit to a lifelong marriage? Right.
 
Folks just be marrying the wrong people too early...

How you gonna say this is the only person you wanna be with the rest of your life when you aint never really met anybody?
 
I'm up in age and have no kids and never been married.. I've never been happier and I don't need anyone to make me feel some type of way! I understand that everyone is different and maybe I haven't meet her yet but I love being Single
 
Question do you guys know how much money your friends make/do they know how much you make. Like your real friends that tight knit group of people who you would go to the end of the Earth for.

Does your girl know?

Or is that just off limits to anybody?
 
marriage is for some people. its not for others. if you know youre not the marriage type, you shouldnt push the issue just because of societal pressures to conform.

im married. theres ups and downs to it, but overall i'm happy.

the dude in the story that George Scorewell posted is doin it wrong. A man should never have to come home to a house that looks like a landfill. I was recently having this discussion with one of my boys, and its crazy how common it is to find that a dirty house is a cause of so much relationship stress. Several of my married friends all complain about it and how it irks them to no end. I give them all the same piece of advice. HIRE A DAMN HOUSEKEEPER. A good housekeeper will do more for your marriage than a therapist, AND its a lot cheaper too.

I know how much my best friend makes, but dont know about the rest of the boys. If they asked though, I'd tell them. Its not that big a deal for me. Its just money. My income does not define who I am.

currently, only a few of my friends know but it came out during unusual circumstances lol and in the past i made it a point to not let anyone know. however, my parents and my brothers know how much I make. I had a sudden change of heart and decided if my friends asked me, i will probably let them know. i know money is a sensitive subject and at times people try to define a person by the kind of income they make.
 
By no fault of my own my boys received an estimate of how much I make and its changing the group dynamic, I can already see it. Even with Glassdoor and all those things out there giving people reads on it, its kinda weird to know that they have a definitive number in their head and will base things that I say on that number.

I don't mind telling but only if t would be open sharing. I don't know their salaries.
My brother and parents know what I make also.
