"5 Reasons Why Marriage Doesn't Work Anymore"

:rolleyes: like I didn't think of that lol


They're all fresh out of divorces with a couple kids and don't want anything serious :razz:
And if they haven't been married yet, and they're over 35...there's usually a good reason :yay:

Bingo. I did the older thing. Didn't work out. I did the 35 and never married thing and that didnt' work out either.
Pete suggested 'older'. Think 'older', not moma's boy.

I'll let him defend himself, but as for me, I've been divorced for 15 years, no kids, retired and financially secure. No luggage, no regrets, no anger.

Life is Good.

Well, *I* would have been one of those before I did get married.
Thing is, it works both ways. I'm not sure it's BETTER if they're over 35 and have been married several times.
Everyone has baggage.

But I also realized I wasn't looking for someone perfect, just someone willing to put up with me.
And I was willing to do the same. Eleven years next month.

#iknowright

I can't do much older than 40...that approaches daddy's girl issues. I have a line. :lol:

But generally I don't mind divorced and I don't mind kids...what I do mind is all the resentful baggage they carry with them over both those things. (they ALL say they don't but usually do) AND I do mind to not being made into some little 'weekends only' thing...unless we work out some agreement where you pay my rent and buy me pretty things :really:



edit: or there's the ones that look ah-mazing on paper but immediately become overzealous and aggressive and ask me how's my day going 3 times before I finish my coffee. :coffee: no in between, people.

You may have typed this as a joke, but there is a lot of truth in that statement. And you don't have to be perfect, just be the perfect 1 for someone else.

I've always wanted a thread dedicated to me :diva:

I'd read it...

"Larry is so cool...he gets us the senior discount wherever we go, forgets if he gave me flowers or not so he gets me more, loves freaking people out in public when they say what a lovely granddaughter he has by then saying "Yup, she's a keeper" and grabbing my ass, and is a hell of a guitar player..."

:lol:

:killingme I was talking about being included in YOUR dating thread of troubles.

"Bee's so awesome...heads turn every place we enter but damn if she doesn't shrink under the table every time I start getting loud and talkative with every person in the bar. But I gotta let these people know I'm here and I play guitar :shrug: And I'll be...since she's Italian, she prefers when I bring her lettuce and vegetables instead of flowers :confused: sheesh."

:smooch: :buddies:

We can do that. This could be the Grand Thread, the dating thread by which all others will FOREVER be judged. And you know what? IF we were able to treat it objectively, to write as if we didn't know one another was reading it, it could be that elusive purely open stream of consciousness. I mean, I think I am reasonably objective but that could be the fascinating part about it. "She snores...like a chain saw...but, she likes to...so..." :evil: "He is so sweet, and thoughtful, and awesome and then, when there is a full moon..."

Hmmm....so, are you hot? Do you have a GREAT butt??? Do you like moonlight walks on the beach, talking about the environment, reciting poetry, bunnies and Slayer? You have to be interesting to talk to. Don't look down on wait staff or the trash man. Have a great laugh. Chew with you mouth, mostly, closed. Must not hate men. Or, at least not all of us. Smaller boobs are fabulous, especially if you have a great ass. You MUST like to ride. And like guitars. Band practice is Saturday am's 7:30 and Tuesday nights. Fair warning.

I'm tall, 50 pounds over weight, pretty big guy, good teeth, GORGEOUS blue eyes, infantile, immature, grow a pretty mean salad and hate poetry. I cook, clean, ride every chance I get to avoid cooking and cleaning, and talk to strangers. I have something nice to say about all of my ex's. And, frankly, nothing mean to say about any of them. And I have apnea and use my CPAP and it makes me sleep great. And we can play Top Gun. You can be Goose...with a great butt.

:popcorn:

How does anyone hate guitars? And Top Gun is a CPAP thing. Very sexy in a Darth Vader kind of way...

I prefer the drummers. It's more of a silent, mysterious guy in the background kinda thing :really:


Star Wars and Top Gun were both before my time :lol:

Women. Pretty much every woman I have ever known, who express's a preference, likes drummers. :shrug: UFB :lol:

How young are you?????

Ha! Drummers are the mental spastic dudes. Far from quiet.

They are not spastic. Guitar players own that. :diva: Drummers are pretty mellow and just...different. They're all smart and always thinking. Not devious but certainly pondering stuff in a practical sense. At least every one I've ever known.

I can only think of 1 drummer I have played with that I would consider "mellow".
