| why hapily ever after will never come for some women.
Posted: 7/27/2009 8:47:53 AM | My my OP, and I thought I was bitter.
For the few shreads of an acutal point you may have in there, though, there is an essay by Chuck Klosterman, its the first one in the book Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs.
Its about unrealistic expectations, media influence on relationships and so on and it is hilarious! Definately worth a read. | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 8:53:32 AM | Quite honestly I think divorce rates are higher these days because (some) women feel that they are going to live a fairy tale life, and when it doesn't happen they go searching elsewhere.
I read somewhere that the percentage of women that leave their husbands is much much higher than men that leave their wives.
Obviously there are a number of other things to consider (abuse, infidelity, etc), but I think many women have unrealistic expectation of what marriage is. | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 8:55:45 AM | Way to go JulietJuliet. You've got WAY more experience at relationships that DON'T work, Congrats.
My point is this. In the end we ALL have something to learn from each other. Discounting a person due to their age limits experiences you COULD have learned from. Do I really want to take relationship advice from a 49 year old who is divorced? Sure i do, because i'll learn something that maybe i didn't encounter. You on the other hand look down on the experiences of others because you've woke up on more days than they have.
So to be honest, i don't see how your experience at failing in relationships (for whatever reason) is anymore enlightening than MY experience at failing at relationships. Guess what, both of us sucked at it. We BOTH have something to offer to hopefully help others not make our mistakes.
I'm not saying men don't overlook women with stupid superficial bullshit, PEOPLE do that all the time. Yeah i've got a long way to go, god knows i haven't been successful at attaining my goal of a lifelong marriage with children but that being said i think you have further to go, i'll learn from anyone, you only want to learn from one group.
Not to mention both of us despite your YEARS of experience are in the same place and searching for the same thing. | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 9:43:24 AM | | Ehhh. You've got the cart before the horse, in my estimation. I don't look for a knight in shining armour, but when I have fallen in love, in my eyes he became my knight...and I became his lady/wench in waiting! | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 10:02:09 AM | I think the prince charming/knight in shining armor thing is such a crock of bs. I mean, half of all marriages end in divorce. Then you see other married people who live "unhappily ever after" that are not right for each other at all. And then you have the Posh Spice's and the Angelina Jolei's of the world that actually do marry the rich, hot guys.
The only people who are actually happily married, imho, are the people who settled for someone who is for all means and purposes ordinary. There are a million guys on this site like that. And there is nothing wrong with being that. It's just that a lot of girls think they can do better and continue sorting through profiles, passing up people they might actually be good for, in hopes that they'll find that 180 lb trophy catfish. But they ain't gonna' find him. | |

Works both ways .... ""why hapily ever after will never come for some MEN."" | |

Tell me how your average 45 year old divorcee has more to put on the table than a 26 year old?
At my house? Most of the 20 and 30 somethings are wanting to put ME on the table, while the 26 year old wanna be momma's are popping out a different baby from a different Daddy every 10 months.
F*ck em?
LOL!
As if. | |
