Gavin should totally keep going down this line and see how far it can take him before he gets shawed and then rage about it. It seems like a great idea.

Lol, I had no intention of taking it any farther than that original post of the vitamin e picture, but then Keg made a post talking about how he cheats on every girlfriend he has, and he doesn't want a wife holding him back, and it all seemed so in line with the philosophy that shall not be named I couldn't resist making a second vitamin e joke. But yeah, I know the rules and I wasn't really trying to see how far I could push it, I was half expecting to get in trouble for making the second joke but it seemed so funny I couldn't resist. As far as I'm concerned the joke is done and I won't be bringing it up again.

That "rule" is dumb as shit anyway. That philosophy, as stupid as it is, is still an opinion on relationships and censoring it in here just because it so offends some of the mods delicate sensibilities is crap. It's also ridiculous that anytime someone is honest about their own inability to conform to social norms they get lumped in with that stupid occult. Not everyone is cut out for monogamy or marriage, and the people who are honest with themselves and everyone else about it are far more adult than those who try to fake it til they make it and end up getting into bad relationships and marriages over and over again.

Gavin is referring to Red Pill with his vitamin e remarks Keg.

i've always assumed i would end up getting hitched in my early to mid 30's so i can have sons to live vicariously through my sons but now that i'm getting closer to that age and also getting to know myself better i'm starting to wonder if that's really the best path to go down. a few things about myself to point out:

- i hate being micromanaged. this goes without saying.
- i get bored of fucking the same girl after about a month of it, no matter how hot she is and how good she is. on a related note, i've cheated on pretty much all of the girls i've been in relationships with and i don't feel an ounce of guilt about it.
- i'm currently in a line of work that is very demanding and requires frequent travel and late nights. i would be ridden with guilt if i was unable to have an active involvement in my children's life growing up.
- i'm also very ambitious and could quite possibly grow to resent my family if i had to take a less demanding job that wouldn't lead to quite as great opportunities.
- the prospect of divorce scares and enrages me.
- i hate being forced to do bullshit "adult" social activities -- that's not to say i'm anti-social, but when i've been in relationships and had to go to lame shit like attending her family gatherings, going out to dinner with her friends who suck... it just blows.

anyway those are my concerns at the moment. i'm still young and maybe some things will change but then again i'm not that young anymore.
Assuming you're not trolling, marriage isn't for everyone and if honest self-assessment led you to these qualities, then marriage probably isn't for you.

Yeah. Way better to be a confirmed bachelor (and in about 10 more years they'll start thinking you're a fag) than to marry a pretty one who you kinda like just because it's what you're "supposed" to do.

That's the sort of thing that leads to being divorced 3 times. Maybe you don't find her till you're 50.

SHE MIGHT NOT BE BORN YET, KEG.

As a guy who has been married for almost 15 years now I can tell you that I can see the appeal of a single or at least no-kids lifestyle. So many of my pleasure activities are organized around my kids or limited by my kids. On the other hand, there are 5 of us now in my family so we have pretty much a team wherever we go. Friends can almost be extraneous.

From a "continuation of the species" standpoint more of us need to be having more kids. But it's kegkilla asking so if he doesn't reproduce thats probably ok.

i'll just clone myself a few times once we get to that point in technology. the world needs more kegkillas, not watered down versions crossbred with inferior genes.

The rule exists because this is the MARRIAGE thread. Not the "Pick up random weak minded strange" thread. This is a thread dedicated to people who have chosen to live a monogamous long term relationship with someone and sometimes the fallout of that decision. This isn't the "Should I Eiffel tower my current GF before dumping her?" thread. That is elsewhere.

Christ now I see why you can't even joke about it, because it still ends up going on for half a page. :-/
