Did Ghostvol pull a Bill Cosby? I can’t believe he hasn’t grossed everyone out in this thread

Marriage is like a tub of hot water; once you get in, it's not so hot.
I am single and I enjoy it. If I were to date, I would date someone that's +/- 5 years. As far as getting an attractive woman? Nah, I'm not a baller, as my annual income starts with a "1" and only has one comma. I am one digit away from having two commas, though.[roll] If I don't get healthy, my income might have no commas in it.
It just seems like society used to be a lot more conducive to lifelong marriages. Of course, there were plenty of women who were unhappy and couldn't get divorced from a beater or a drunk or a cheater etc.
So I get it and get why things have evolved. But if youre a guy and none of those things and end up in a divorce situation, you're still on the hook to give up half your stuff and bend over for child custody even when youre a stand up dad...man its just hard to see any reason to sign on for all that.
Prenup is the only way Ill do it. I saw how contentious breaking up an engagement was. To hell with being legally on the hook. Logic and reason are strangers to the minds of women.
Similar story. I met my wife when I was 28 and she was 21. We married a year later. She was a cute little thing, right out of nursing school. But now at 43 and her 36 she is definitely in her prime. She's filled out in all of the right places, including a little help from her plastic surgeon.
We have a better marriage and sex life now than ever. If anything were to ever happen to her/us, I couldn't imagine going back and dating someone in their younger or mid 20's, unless they were very sexually aware and most aren't at that age. It took my wife and I a decade to build and mold that.

And i think that a lot of men stay in an unhappy marriage because of the financial situation. Most simply cannot afford to get divorced.

After I was divorced about 20 years ago I went through a phase that literally all that I attracted was younger women, at least 10 years younger and some more than that. Most told me that they were tired of guys their age that had no ambition, no manners and no money, with a lot being unemployed. For the most part the relationships were good while they lasted but the most rocky was when I dated a former Bud Light Girl that was 21 years younger. Never have I been so mentally and physically worn out and I never knew from day to day what mood she was in. Looked great with a hard body but I'm not sure I'd do it again due to the mental fatigue she caused.
Like my Dad said, "kids are great, but they aren't worth going through hell to get". I took that as him telling me not to get married.
Divorced around 38 and "dated" younger women mostly in their early 20s and it was fun for awhile but it was difficult to find much common ground.
Sounds like yall were where Im at now. Not interested in some 20 something with limited experience or intellect about things, not interested in a divorce' with kids either lol
Just bring back football and Ill manage haha

Can u imagine marrying one in their 20’s or 30’s and having to listen to them say “like” all day everyday? Wow. No thanks. Lol
When I was 35 dating a 22 year old, it was too big of a gap. How to find a 20 something woman with common sense and an ability to think past what someone told them 20 minutes ago these days... good luck
You are NOT kidding. One tried to chat me up recently. After 5 minutes, I was thinking "but she was awesome before she started trying to have a conversation."
That makes a lot of sense, hadnt really considered that. Ive got more money now than I did when me and my ex were together. Of course married couples usually have kids and have taken on a certain quality of life many dont want to give up.
Theres someone out there for all of us. Just gotta find em. My buddy is going through a divorce now, I recently ended my engagement, so all of this stuff is heavy on my mind, especially with covid limiting social opportunities to get out nd put things in the rear view.
I think the reality is the good women get taken early lol, and then other good women end up in bad relationships and you as the man gotta decide how much of their baggage youre willing to hell carry. Im sure if everything else clicks its not that big a deal at all.
I'm 52, never married, no kids, happy and financially secure. I've only thought about marrying once, to a girl I dated at UK and she was much more in a hurry than I was. I have always liked my alone time. My five best friends are married. Here is a rundown on each. 1. Married a divorced woman with a child 20 years ago and still married and happy-will cheat on her every chance he gets. 2. Married a divorced woman with two children 20 years ago and still married but miserable and would divorce but won't even think about giving her half (he is a doctor and she hasn't worked since they married). 3. Married a doctor and he's a dentist, both very successful, no kids, she is high high maintenance but they are otherwise a perfect fit. 4. Married a divorced woman with no kids. He has two. It was up and down with the crap he's dealt with concerning the first wife up until the kids grew up but things have chilled out. He is still infatuated with his second bride and would not change a thing. 5. Married a woman he passed on years ago. Neither have kids. He is miserable and is looking to get out. Each of these current wives are smoking hot and have a lot to offer to someone I guess. 4 of my 5 say I was smart to never marry.
I’m married. Would get divorced if the right gal came along. You know, 20’s, worth a hundred million, unbelievable body and face, really cool, UK sports fan, loved my kids and didn’t want to have more, great family, conservative, cleans up after me, great cook, is cool with me hanging out with the guys whenever I want, okay with having my current wife come over and hang out cause she is great to be with. Should be easy to find.
They both just left and said tell u they’d be home shortly but said they also had a headache lol

And as soon as they find someone like they, they'll starting looking around again in order to "trade up". Wont' be six months before they find someone "wrong" with their Dream Guy.

I've dated several older women and in some aspects, it's better than dating younger. If they've taken relatively good care of themselves dating older can be a plus because you don't have to put up with mind games as you do with the younger women. The physical part is usually better and you usually don't have to wait as long and play the game as you do with younger women. I've dated older, younger and various races so that makes me an Equal Opportunity Dater.
Not too many +50 yr olds dating older women
Dating older women when yer in yer 20’s & 30’s is on point BUT...
Unless she’s an heiress dating older women isnt worth it when yer 40+
& im not talking 5-7 years diff im talking 10+

Divorced at 40 with 5 children and basically did the same...ex was a stay at home mom and wanted out . Kept home, my 4 boys (daughter went with her mother after she got on her feet), pension intact. etc. Married my wife at 47 and she was 37 divorced with no children. Sounds crazy, right? Been almost 23 years now and she's been awesome for my kids and grandkids. She considers them hers and will get in KA mode if you cross one of them...life is pretty good.
Yep that’s the wild card. The immaturity. It can be dealt with it for a bit til the sex gets old then it becomes really noticeable. Most aren’t really ready to get serious til late 20s even early 30s from what I’ve seen. It’s when they start hearing the clock tick faster they wise up and quit playing games. If you’re looking for wife material, I’d consider that the sweet spot age range.
I tend to agree with them not being ready emotionally, but physically they are in their peak for having kids between like 18-28, which happens to be when they have the most beauty. Because of the womanist movement girls in their prime are being told to chase careers and dick, and not to worry about settling down until in their 30's.
When they get to their 30's and are ready to "settle down", the guys their age have their sights on the 18-30 year olds haha. These 30-something chicks now have a choice: settle for the "nice" or older guys they wouldn't give the time of day to a decade ago, or become the crazy aunt with multiple cats who sips on box wine nightly.
As a Christian man, I wonder why anyone who isn’t Christian would get married?
I wouldn’t be if not for God’s law and trying to follow the morals he has laid out for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my wife, but if I didn’t love my God and I didn’t want to make him happy, I probably would not be married.
That probably makes me sound bad, but if not for my Christian faith, I would be a lot different person.
Thankfully, Christ is in my life and so I am happily married not only to my wife, but to my savior.

From my understanding god gives you free will and the ability to ask for forgiveness. Just sayin
From what I understand, he still wants your love and obedience. He wants it given freely, so there is your free will.
Exactly. Is there a better reason to do anything?
If not for Jesus, why enter a contract that only ends at death or you giving up half yo stuff?
