    LOL - reminds of our tech support guy at work... recently divorced. Said it was a horrible experience, but at least still has a sense of humor about it. He jokingly said to me one day, "If you ever think of getting married, don't bother. Just find a woman you hate and buy her a house."

  2. New York - Sexpert Athol Kay has had sex with his wife more than 5 000 times – and says it’s the secret to a happy marriage.

    After two children and 16 years of marriage, they could be more than forgiven for having swopped bedroom gymnastics for a good night’s sleep.

    But aside from illness, Connecticut couple Athol and Jennifer Kay have had sex every day since they tied the knot, a whopping 5 000 times in total.

    This is horse shit. I have had feelings for longer than 3 years. Also there was a recent study completely trashing this. There is this thing called limerance and can last pretty much forever. What I think it means is that the studied love is not real but infactuation and that reall love is near impossible to find.

  8. Why is the woman's family still expected to pay for the wedding now that young men expects dutch dates? Traditional, the guy spends the money during the courtship, and woman's family pays for the wedding.

    Yes, when the kids, the loser walk away, letting welfare pay for the kids.

    Yes, but are they the same feelings? Do you still think about this person all the time when you're not together? Is she still the only woman you want sex with, as it (hopefully) was in the beginning?

  10. The comparison isn't fair. You assume no mitigating factors. if i told you that half of stocks went up, and half or stocks went down, would you invest in stocks?

    If on the other hand I took a complex quizz that adjusted for a large number of factors and told me that I had a 5% change of not marrying successfully-then I might skip it. Or I may adjust some of those factors.

    Ignorance of the marketplace is no excuse for a belief in random performance.
