The Languish marriage poll

[Malthus]

Kinda hard to disguise what you look like when you see someone in person ...   

You can misrepresent yourself other ways though.

Of course. The anonimity of the 'net just provides *more* opportunity for misrepresentation, by making it easier to misrepresent more things.

Edit: woah simulpost. 

[Valmy]

Granted but the opportunities for misrepresentation are much greater on-line.  Not sure why you are fighting on this point. 

I am not fighting jack I am simply reporting my own experience.  It was never an issue.

[Martinus]

Hard to choose for me. I don't think I can say I will "never marry" but I do not "intend to marry" in future either. However I do not exclude the possibility if laws in Poland changed and I thought it was a good idea at the time.

You might say - you'd "vote with your feet"?

Hey hey hey. Let's get back to the important matter at Hand. Namely getting Malthus to get a hot secretary and then, just as importantly, setting me up with said hot secretary

[Maximus]

What the fuck does everyone have against truckers?

[Caliga]

It does make things easier if you are into hooking up a lot for just sex, though, particularly if you are female - they have the advantage there. My secretary loves doing that.

You shouldn't talk to your secretary about things like this.  What's the Canadian equivalent of the EEOC?  I'm reporting you to them.

I have a hot secretary

Never married, but S and I are going to as soon as we can afford to do something nicer than two witnesses at city hall.

Why?

Use you money for stuff that matters, like a nice place to live.

He lives in the US.  Thanks to the housing crash, he could get a 'nice place to live' (relatively, because he's still in the US) for three bus tokens, an elastic band and a lollypop from the doctor's office.

You're too far away

From a social POV, it is desireable - particularly if "traditional" marriage has gone by the wayside.

Support obligations prevent the poorer of the couple from (on average) being more likely to fall into into poverty and be supported by social services.

Wrong.  It is undesirable because it increases the power of courts and lawyers.  Because you can rest assured that courts and lawyers are pretty much never working in your interest, it is wise to support limiting them in every way possible, with an eye towards abolishing them.

[Grallon]

Naturally: 'never married - never will marry'.

Some people thrive on this - I don't.

Malthus is a lawyer.

Malthus will be retrained so that he can perform a job that isn't socially destructive.
