Pretty much this. The best explanation I’ve heard of their appeal was by a buddy who loves them. He said “you like going to a bar, drinking a beer and watching sports. I like watching naked women dance.” It wasn’t the worst answer tbh, but it’s not my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, before the internet there's maybe something to be said for it, but now...I just don't get the appeal of paying a lot of money for a **** tease in the skeeviest of skeevy locations. Especially considering what the strippers I've represented in court typically look like. They look a lot different under bad lighting and with a ton of make-up. I used to like going once in a while, but that was at least a decade ago, maybe longer. (It was 52k dial up back then, too - so it isn't like I had options).

MacReady Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I don’t know why anyone would get married. It’s like, “Neither of us probably loves each other, but we don’t hate each other yet so that must be a good sign, so let’s literally flip a coin or act like we’re somehow above the 50% success rate of marriage, and we will basically sign a thing that says if we change our mind, or if even you change your mind and I don’t, you can have half my stuff.” The only way I would literally ever get married is if she had more money than I did and still signed a prenup that said under no circumstances whatsoever would she get my dogs or anything of mine that I want. That’s not an indictment against a relationship, just the marriage aspect of it. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been together for like 30 years and that’s probably a top 5 happy relationship in Hollywood and I just don’t see the appeal to marriage.

I have insurance for the first time since I was 26. It's great. Also you can file your taxes jointly. And if they die, you'll get money for it instead of just being a sad "life partner." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you want kids, you're tied to that person anyway and the legal benefits go a long, long way to making life easier. As someone who doesn't want to get married, even I recognize not getting married only makes sense in a niche scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of us are really religious, so that doesn't matter, and we've been living together in a long term relationship for two years. Marriage will change nothing in our relationship other than the cost of ending it (which will be just as big an issue if we weren't married anyway) and what we call each other. But dem benefits, man. Also, there's the societal benefits. People expect you to get married. If you're a professional, it makes you seem more so. In most lines of work, you don't want to be an odd one out really, and being a bachelor too late into life brings that to a degree still. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No one should ever get married" is an excellent premise for a stand up bit. It is not good life advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple girls I went to high school with that were really sheltered in HS (They were preacher's daughters LOL) became them and actually posted it as their job on FB. Nasty as hell looking.

Just because she hung out with the friend all weekend in the room and I went for long walks on the beach doesn't mean anything ET!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
