| Guys do you think Marriage is worth it?
Posted: 12/15/2004 8:12:37 PM | There is this book called the predatory female. It is about women who marry with other
things in mind, than love and commitment. What do you think is marriage worth it or
is it better to just date long term?

Very true to life, November 26, 2004
Reviewer: Christopher (Portland, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
Fortunately, I came across "The Predatory Female" purely by chance last year while I was being manipulated by a beautiful, but thoroughly dishonest female who had every intention of coming between me and my assets. What a God-send.
Many might dismiss this book as an attempt at humor. While the author occasionally uses humor to illustrate his points, the book is deadly serious. I've always known most of the facts about women through past experiences of my own, but never had I found all of the information pulled together in one place. It was like a great, big light went on in my head, and finally, I understood. I've broken the code of the predatory female, and I can never go back. Thanks to Rev. Shannon, I look at women in an entirely different light.
I eschew hatred of anyone, be they male or female, but I now understand what women are doing and why they are doing it. Gone are my dreams of romance and marraige. Such things as romance exist only in the mind of man; women aren't fooled by such nonsense. As Rev. Shannon points out, a woman NEVER really falls in love. She is incapable of such an emotion, but she will use the love of a man to trap and destroy him. Men are sentimental creatures who desire love. Women simply don't care about love- or men. They are devoid of such silly emotions. But, they will feign such emotions in order to get a man to commit himself to her in the most devastating, castrating relationship known: MARRAIGE.
I just finished reading "The Predatory Female" for the fifteenth time cover to cover, and I use it almost daily as a quick referance whenever I get lonely. It truly is the Bible of the single man. The wisdom of Solomon pales by comparison to Rev. Shannon. After all, Solomon had hundreds of wives. He couldn't have been TOO smart, now could he?

Woman are wonderful..

Posted: 12/15/2004 8:21:27 PM | Larrystud: the cold hard fact is that marriage never was about love in the beginning it was about business. Our ancesters male and female had other motives for marriage and I do not think that we are much different.
I want a man that I can love unconditionally. I want him to do the same, but if he is living in a sewer then I'll have to pass. People come together with people for the benefit of progressing and possibly building dreams and shared goals and love, respect and companionship grows out of that.
If you are viewing women as preditory animals then perhaps staying single is a good thing for you until you can grow more spiritually because a good woman with good intentions doesn't deserve this kind of bitterness. What you will draw to yourself is the very kind of women that you are reading about in this *bible* of yours. | |

and i also recommend listening to neil young's "a man needs a maid"
one of my favourite verses in music
"A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the ACTRESS (emphasis mine)
She was playing a part that I could understand -
A maid - A man needs a maid.
When will I see you again?" | |

hehe My bible, thats funny!!
BTW Caroline you need a more close up pic to better accentuate your body curves=0)!
I simply put this up to get some opinions.
I did not say if I was for or against marriage...Just asking people if they think it is worth it or not?
I do not know If I am for marriage or not. I just thought this book looked interesting in that
it touches on something that could be fact or fiction.
peace out

Posted: 12/15/2004 8:39:37 PM | Yeah you fall in - you fall out. So either way it won't last. So what's the point in marriage? Only screws you life up and makes you go broke. Easy to get in but a B*tch to get out.
This is my 2nd marriage and after the divorce this will be my final. But they always do say that the 3d one is charm. lol So far I'm not impressed.  | |

Actually to be honest with you there are some truths there but who ever wrote that book is more than a little twisted!

Posted: 12/15/2004 9:07:04 PM | I think, because of my upbringing and background, I would enjoy marriage. But, only to the right person. I also do not believe in this "easy way out" thinking society has. When I get married, it will be through thick and thin no matter what (unless he's abusive ie: beating me nonstop or any kids we have. Then you have to cut your losses and high tail it..WITH YOUR KIDS).
Marriage, to me, is a lifetime commitment, not to be taken lightly. It's a shame more people don't realize that. 50% of marriages don't work out within 5 years. My parents have been married to each other for 30 years (this february)...and they've been through some HELLISH times.
Cheers,
LadyO | |

I think marrige should be hellish sometimes ..Like life there should be some bad parts and great parts too. Marriage could work well given that the people have known each other long enough to know who they are and what they want out of life.
Peace

Posted: 12/15/2004 9:33:28 PM | After having been married for 20 yrs and now divorced. I'd still have to say, yes marriage is worth it. The falling in love and being loved is worth every minute. Staying in love is the hard part and making that decision to work things through, it does take two. One can't do the work and the other expect to stand by and reap all the benefits.
Love is what makes us feel alive and that's what here to do. Whether it be we love a man or a woman our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and friends. To be alive is to feel the love that we send out it is returned to us.
Marriage is to be about love and when two people love one another, does a piece of paper really matter? No....it's the union of the two that makes the marriage not the paper. | |

Posted: 12/16/2004 3:02:33 AM | | My marriage was 16 years...being single for 3 now, I have to say being married was better.You had more of a sense of purpose,and belonging. Yes, there were HELLACIOUS times we managed to get through-but finally enough was enough. I hate being single,the dating scene is so uncertain.The only time I feel consolation about the divorce is when I hear bickering among ppl. But bickering goes on in and out of marriage, so it really doesn't console very long. Maybe I'm swaying towards marriage because it makes a relationship more definitive. You sometimes need it to be "hard getting out" of in order to endure some trying times.With dating, it's just too easy to bounce around aimlessly.And ppl's concept of dating varies from person to person-leaving a lot of open-ended confusion. One person can justify a bad behavior with"well,it's not like we're married"...I don't know, maybe I just haven't learned to appreciate my singleness,or myself enough, to really enjoy it. ---on the other hand, I'm now afraid of getting too close again,close enough to be happy. I guess all things come with time,good,bad,and indifferent. good luck with the game everyone~ | |

Posted: 12/16/2004 5:27:35 AM | Do you guys think that people now marry for true love? It is a sincere question that I want to see what other people think. I think that many people subconsiously marry for many other reasons besides love. I knew people that were tired of being alone and gave it a shot. They are still married to this day.
I think that it can be very dangerous to follow your heart completely when it comes to spending your life with someone. My heart has said to do one thing but it was my head that saved my A**.LOL!
That is a hard place to be. Has anyone else been there? | |
