You can't get to work riding on a wedding ring.

Sure you can

What exactly does marriage mean to me in today's world?

Is the line that stands out to me the most of this whole thing.

Marriage means nothing to me right now. I have absolutely no desire to get married and I don't care about it. I wouldn't feel any more for the woman I'm with if I married her that I do now. Maybe that will change with time, but I think until I feel that way I won't get married.

I doubt it will change man - because you are 100 percent right - and I think anyone who claims marriage makes them love their partner any more is full of shit and/or retarded.

Many women think this way (though, the girl I'm dating is from the M/Nomi school of thought that jewelry is stoopid) and perhaps it's something for the social bragging circles. I, personally, don't care much for jewelry because paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to walk around with some gemstone or precious metal around your neck or on your finger never made sense to me. Put it towards the house, the college fund, or a vehicle.

Make her watch the movie Blood Diamond and she'll never want to buy another diamond again. The man that produced that movie is a hero.

I need to find these women. Some of the girls I've dated are very superficial. I just like those type of women and I know I'm going to pay for it in the future.

Most non-gold diggers can't be found at clubs or bars.

Sure you can

He's not flying ON the ring though. He's just using its magic powers.

So that's 90% of women. You have to be careful too. A lot of women like Nomi say they don't care about that shit, but when they get a little older and see their friends with shiny rocks they want one too. Monkey-see monkey-do is the primary form of their actions.

It doesn't take much for a girl to get jealous. Once the first wedding ring shows up the neurons in their brains start firing differently. And when the first baby shows up? They sleep with the sound of a clock ticking in their head.

Damn, you're right. Well, there goes my argument. And it was such a solid one too

M pwning marriage up

Seriously, what rational person wants a huge traditional wedding anymore, there's much better and needed things a new couple needs other than a huge send off. Like rent, debt relief (school loans/debts) and possibly a nice honeymoon.

Fuck the rings, if someone proposed to me with a nice (but non absurdly priced) ring, I'd totally be cool with that. Infact a diamond would even offend me and probally warrant a, "its over, you totally don't get me."

I didn't see someone with an ape avatar and then do it.

That's a lie.

Spent was telling me about a guy he used to work with named Dave. Dan or Dave, I don't usually listen to Spent's stories with much intensity. Anyway when him and this guy were in a restaurant the waitress, who was about 30, came up and he saw that she didn't have a ring on her finger he asked her.

Dan: "You want my number, don't you?"
Waitress: "No, I have a boyfriend."
Dan: "You're not married, I don't see a ring."
Waitress: "No I'm not."
Dan *winking and clicking his teeth: "You'd better hurry up with that honey. Your star's starting to fade."

He also refused to tip. And not only that but he doesn't want YOU to tip either. If his girlfriend leaves a tip he makes an excuse when they're in the car about to drive away to walk back in and pick it up off the table.

Anyway long story short she's married now -- women are so impressionable, it's crazy! Now if you'll excuse me I have a shoe to cut through with the new knives I just bought for 5 easy payments of 19.99.
