I'm not game.

One man don do me for now.
raumdeuter:


A lot of single men. More than you only can handle.

Why don't you share? Are you trying to tie him down? Nothing would concern you about his life or where he stays

It would just be casual sexx and no relationship. Just hookup for sex and go your own way. Both parties are going to get tested and always use protection so no disease risk

Are you game?

Hmm so are you not modern, Are you also brainwashed into desiring a secured relationship vs casual flings? Are you also being conned into not wanting a casual relationship

So modernity according to my post in your own understanding means not desiring a committed relationship?

Also saying that more women being desperate for marriage than men because of societal pressure to get married means that no woman on a normal day wants to marry?

I bow for you oga. If that's how you chose to understand it.

I see this is heading towards one of those roundabout debates. I'll pass.

Does the modern liberated woman still care about slu.t shaming? I thought those are for brainwashed people. Some women dont want relationship thats not news Surely there would be some deviant people in a population

You are pigeonholing here. Is there something like THE MODERN LIBERATED WOMAN? Are ALL women who consider themselves modern and liberated THE SAME? And do only modern and liberated women have se.xual desires?

But the truth is ANYWHERE in the world, Women desire marriage and they do so at a higher rate than men. It has nothing to do with culture of a certain country, Its the genetic make up

I never said women do not desire marriage. I neither said women desire marriage less than men and whether it is genetic or social conditioning or both is controversial.

Men would always desire casual sexx more than females whether they are 15, 40 or 75yrs old. And women would always desire a secured relationship preferably marriage

So why do men marry? Why did you marry? Did your wife con you?
Men have held far more power than women for thousands of years and yet they have not abolished an institution that runs counter their needs? It doesn't make sense, does it? Did they do it for the love of women, out of altruism? Did women force or con men into marrying them for thousands of years? Did men do it to do women a favor? Why didn't men abolish the institution if it isn't what they actually want?

On the Ashley madison website for cheaters have you seen the ratio of male to female?

No, I haven't.

I was speaking with someone yesterday and she questioned when I was gonna get married...followed by..''isn't the guy ready''

My response...''So once a guy is ready to marry the lady too by defaults becomes ready? Doesn't the woman have a calendar plan and timing for her life, a time to marry and achieve other things Will you just marry and halt your life while the man continues with his old syllabus

He is ready doesn't mean I am, its either he waits till I am or we reach a compromise.

.

if he is ready to marry and you are not, why should he wait?

Just free him and then you can marry at your leisure.

that's my point.

why not call off the relationship so you can both move along with your plans, if you aren't on the same page as regards marriage.

Bukatyne, I do agree with you. Since the days of Adam, man has learned to blame everyone else but himself.

The OP's message is counter-intuitive. Women are desperate to get married, yet they are conned into marriage. I would have thought the desperate person should be conning the less desperate.

I have read all sorts of theories on this forum but it seems that people choose to argue whichever suits them at a point in time. Women generally marry older and richer guys; not 100% of the time but most times and I do not think that has changed. I am not sure who is conning who but men and women generally should not rush into marriage.

OP presents the case as if it's only women that are unhappy in their marriages. There are lots of unhappy men in their marriages too. In fact if one partner is extremely unhappy, there is no way the other can be very happy unless they truly hate each other.

And come to think of it, there is no marriage in this world where things were perfect from day 1 to year 60, go ask anyone. Life itself is full of challenges and how we react to them is what matters most. Settling and living with one person the rest of your life will always be challenging and there will always be some unhappy moments. The fact that a marriage is having problems today does not mean they were never happy or they would never be happy again. But marriage shouldn't be a nightmare though.

@happiness... Hmmm I would say depends on the person's expectations. A husband whose wife is a good cook, great housekeeper and always says yes might be happy while his wife is very bitter inside and resigned to fate.

@problems: it depends. Cheating or abuse for me is not a problem/challenge; it is a character defect. Loss of job/children/childlessness/illness/in-law wahala/not progressing/stress etc. Are challenges to me.

I agree a lot of people are looking for whom to blame and every person who wants to marry has the duty to carry out checks and avoid being 'conned'

I thought you have disappeared and decided to do the needful. cheesy

What has modernity got to do with interest in marriage or lack of it?

So why do men marry? Why did you marry? Did your wife con you?
Men have held far more power than women for thousands of years and yet they have not abolished an institution that runs counter their needs? It doesn't make sense, does it? Did they do it for the love of women, out of altruism? Did women force or con men into marrying them for thousands of years? Did men do it to do women a favor? Why didn't men abolish the institution if it isn't what they actually want?

Seriously, for the constant wailing about how. women force marriage and con men into releasing their freedom, not one has done away with the institution of Marriage.

People don't hate the institution of Marriage, people hate the abuse of said institution.

I need to understand how any man/woman who lives on earth can ask me that question. gringrin



Let's ask Sambarry, I have a feeling she can explain how women con men into marriage...and no, getting pregnant is only just a more drastic tactic...women have learnt to be much more subtler than that. cheesy

This problem plays itself out again and again. People using their definition or thought of something to attach people they think represent that. I am yet to see any modern woman that said she does not want a committed relationship because she is modern. There is a clear difference between " I don't want a committed relationship because I am modern" and " I am a modern woman and I also don't want a committed relationship." Someone having two attributes is different from saying people with one attribute must always have the other.

probably not @ topic.

you can post evidence and stories to the contrary , let's view them.
Re: Are Women Being Conned Into Marriage Nowadays??? by eyinjuege: 6:29am On Sep 19, 2015
Ask them now, A guy comes to meet her, I want us to have a relationship it would be sexual in nature no financial gain but would never end in marriage and see how many women would agree to it even those who are posting here[/quote]

Why should any person ask someone out and say I want a sexual relationship only? You just let it happen! You don't need to ask!
Many relationships do happen like that and the women know they can't marry the man for whatever reason and they're also not collecting money from him. They both just wanna have a good time and they both do. They both enjoy it while it lasts.
You really don't plan to marry everyone you're in a relationship with. Could be for differences in religion, cultures, family background etc. You know right from the start marriage is out of the question and you don't even need the guys money but you both look forward to and enjoy great sex. It however doesnt mean you expect that relationship to be forever, you're also realistic about that.
