"I'm not saying let's get married, I'm just saying we should take the next step in our relationship." Means--"If you don't marry me, I'll tell everyone you cheated on me after we break up!"
"I want to settle down. I just want a family." Means--"I don't have ambition or aspirations for anything beyond being complacent with a station in life that is demeaning not just to myself, but to my whole gender!" Why do I have to be the feminist here?
"Aren't you committed to this relationship?"--Means "You had better propose to me within a year, or I'm cutting your dick off."
"I'm pretty happy with my body, I don't think I would change a thing." Means--"I'm gaining weight, and I expect you to put up with it, even though I'm becoming less attractive by the week. I also plan on not putting on make up when I need to, and doing really unattractive things to and with my hair."
I could go on, but why bother? It'd just be more bullshit. Some people just can't accept the fact that while a man can be committed in a relationship, he may not want to get married. "But we love each other!" Yeah fucking right. A)You don't know what love means-you don't know anything before 30. B)Marriage is a helluva lot more involved than love and romance. It takes a lot more than that. Marriage is a full time job.
Had to learn the hard way what happens when girls don't keep up their end of the deal. They fucking use people. So now, I keep everyone at arms length away.
I'm sort of seeing someone now who isn't about to get married-how novel! She doesn't want kids immediately! Oh my! She understands that life is a bit more involved than "BIRTH-MARRIAGE-KIDS-THE END!" She has more aspirations than just that-maybe like, higher education and a career, and has culture and class...you can't put a price on those things.
