    Here's an excellent article on the subject of how to treat women:

    http://www.seductionscience.com/201...guy-why-diamonds-and-dinners-always-backfire/

    quote:

    And here lies the secret as to why beautiful women typically fall in love with “jerks” and “bad boys”.

    It’s not because jerks and bad boys are good for women. It’s because jerks and bad boys don’t spend money on them and kiss their ass all the time. Jerks and bad boys express their own opinions regardless of what she thinks. Jerks and bad boys aren’t afraid of offending her when they playfully slap her ass, tease her about her outfit, and talk about naughty things. Jerks and bad boys don’t mind turning their backs and walking away if she throws a spoiled hissy-fit.

    You don’t have to become a jerk to succeed with women however. The secret is, simply don’t reward women for their bad behavior.

    There is a law that if couples live together for more than some time like 6 months or so, then it becomes a common law situation which is as good a marriage. :D

    Guess after reading the article it seems there is no law on common law spouses if no agreements are signed in.

    Gloria Steinem should be so proud of what she helped propel forward.

    I wonder how many divorces, step fathers beatings, alcoholism, domestic violences, runaways, addictions, were caused by the "liberated" woman. Admitedly she has said some of her ideas came to her while she was on drugs.

    You have to be high to propose a way for a man and woman to live that goes against the last 1 million years of behavior where the man was the head of the household. Its un-natural.

    just my two cents. and i am not on acid while writing this. haha

  5. That actually varies by State and some States do not recognize "Common Law" marriage at all.

    And it's not just living together. You have to hold yourselves out as married. Refer to the other as your husband/wife, introduce yourselves as Mr and Mrs, etc. Basically Common Law marriage means everybody thought you were married.

    However, some places have a concept where shacking up then splitting up can require many of the trappings of a divorce, including "palimony" :p but this is not a common law marriage.

    2 reasons why couples get divorced.. money and sex.
    why does this happen:
    1) both men and woman think they are lucky someone puts up with them or accepts their looks ect...
    2) everyone else is getting married and they feel left out
    3) they want a family. perhaps they come from a broken home and the significant(actually insignificant) other can provide the stability they missed growing up.
    4) they can have their cake and eat it too. they marry someone whom they believe will take care of them and provide them with everything they want but they can also go out and have some fun. this is more common with woman marrying an ugly guy for his money but men do it as well but for other reasons,not money.
    5) fear of being alone.

    now,if someone told you, " hey, marry me, take care of me, have a baby with me and take care of my children. however, we only have sex when i let you or when i am in the mood".
    "hey, marry me, take care of me, have children with me, and take care of the children. however, if you lose your job and we have to rough it for a few years, i am divorcing you and finding someone with money".
    sound like a deal you would be interested in? you only live once and wasting your time and emotional energy on something that was always broken is probably one of the greatest injustices you can do to yourself. the moral here is this: all of these problems could be avoided by have confidence, self esteem. and a true love for yourself. if you dont, you will be another statistic.

  9. In today’s lousy economy, men can take comfort in knowing that there is one sought-after good that is becoming steadily more affordable: sex.

    Women are jumping into the sack faster and with fewer expectations about long-term commitments than ever, effectively discounting the “price” of sex to a record low, according to social psychologists.

    More than 25% of young women report giving it up within the first week of dating. While researchers don’t have a baseline to compare it to, interviews they have conducted lead them to believe this is higher than before, which increases the pressure on other women and changes the expectations of men.
