The Marrying Kind?

Date Only the Marrying Kind

To dramatically increase your chances of marrying you must seek out and date the marrying kind.

Statistical Truths About the Marrying Kind

• Most men will not even consider marriage before they reach the age of commitment. For 80 percent of high school graduates, the minimum age of commitment is twenty-three, whereas for 80 percent of college graduates, it's twenty-six.

• The high-commitment period for most college-educated men is from ages twenty-eight to thirty-three.

• For men who go to graduate school-doctors, lawyers, and the like-the high-commitment period runs from thirty to thirty-six.

• After age thirty-seven or thirty-eight, the chance that a man will commit diminishes. After forty-three, it diminishes even more.

• Most men think sowing their wild oats is a rite of passage and will not even contemplate marriage until they have been working and living as independent adults for several years.

• Men are most likely to marry after they become uncomfortable with the singles scene.

• Men have biological clocks. They want to be young enough to teach their sons to fish and play ball, and to do the male-bonding thing.

• Men who look at marriage as a financial arrangement in which women have the most to gain are not likely to marry-nor are they good prospects. Run...fast.

• Men whose parents divorced when they were young are often gun-shy about marrying.

• Men often marry women whose backgrounds- religion, politics, values, socioeconomic status- match theirs.

• Men who have their own places and have lived as independent, self-supporting adults are more likely to marry.

• Men whose friends and siblings are married are more likely to marry.

• If a man over the age of forty has been married before, he is more likely to marry than a forty-year-old man who has never been married.

• If you wish to facilitate a trip to the altar, meet and date only the marrying kind!

How true is this list fellas? Anything missing? I thought it was pretty clear and consise also made alot of sense.

i have long advised friends, even lovers, to do the same. i have told females straight up that if they want to get married, they got no business hanging around with me. i tell them to go to church or where ever those type of guys hang.

i have never understood why women be rolling with straight up doggs and then complain that they got some fleas.

[JABOOM]

It's true and as of right now

I'M NOT THE MARRYING KIND.........

Unless a certain woman comes along

I know you asked for the fellas, but from experience I agree with everything on the list, except:

• Men have biological clocks. They want to be young enough to teach their sons to fish and play ball, and to do the male-bonding thing.

This was true 10 years ago, but not today. Men are marrying later and later - late 30's to mid 40's. I don't think they care much about biological clocks or even realize they have one.

Men have biological clocks .

With the invention of Viagra, you wouldn't know it. Like DL Hugley said, the invention of Viagra has changed alot of things.

"... I have never understood why women be rolling with straight up doggs and then complain that they got some fleas."


And this is why you prepare (not wait!) for the BEST, James. Simple math.

There was an entire paragraph devoted to the subject of the male biological clock. It didn't have anything to do with the ability to get an erection, have intercourse and ejaculate to make the babies.

It had more to do with being ambulatory to play catch, go fishing etc and so on. It is the rare man that can shoot hoops with his son when he is in his 70's...

I will post the paragraph later.

[JABOOM]

My question is.........why are women looking for gimmicks and time periods to catch a man, why not get what you want out of your personal life THEN find somebody your compatible with?
