Agreed, I'm not getting married until I'm getting close to my thirties and have been with a girl for a few years.

I don't get how you marry someone you barely know. My parents did that. It worked splendidly.


An random musing that I just had, as I had never put the two together.

Women usually hint around and communicate very subtly. They don't just come out and say what they want. I never pay attention to that **** because I dunno if I'm reading too far into something or not enough, so I take everything literally, word for word, and the subtle part of the message is lost. I always wish women would just say what they mean...

Maybe God's a woman... I never get the memo. I never hear the word...

Maybe the message needs to be delivered in a little more harsh of a manner, like a knee to the groin. A little fire and brimstone, or maybe a swarm of locusts. I think I could live through getting hit by a bolt of lightning.

 

i think the message would get lost if god said "Get Married" with a swarm of locusts. seems it didnt work for the egyptians

 

exactly. my parents were together like 6 years before he popped the question, then another year before getting married. now, almost 40 years into it, and they still act like they're dating each other. it's disgustingly cute, but has set a wonderful example for me.


bwahahahahah

 

Yeah... But I listen a little more intently to a woman after being kneed in the crotch and look for anything that could mean something else... It stands to reason that after being struck by lightning, I'd look for anything that could mean anything as a message from God.

 

I have a question on soulmates. What if you don't feel like any part of you is missing. Going by the .5 + .5 = 1 theory, this would then just be 1 = 1. Can you still have a soulmate so 1 + .5 = 1.5 and your combined powers be more than those silly pairs of 1s running around? Or is there some sort law of diminishing returns so you can't get a full .5 out of someone, but you can get something less, let's say a .337. So 1 + .337 = 1.337 Or are you doomed to be single for the rest of your life? (this is a serious question despite the somewhat comical nature of the 1.337)

 

Paint it in a nicer light?

I was phrasing everything for you people, to refute your argument. What I typed was not the way I was thinking at the time, or now. To adiquately describe the whole thing would take a bit longer, is quite different, and no one has ever asked.


And I'm still sticking to the point that one person is just one person, not half a person, and getting married isnt to fill a void, it's a bond, like stapling two peices of paper together.

And I still say it's a semantics issue, ESPECIALLY if you're going to argue about a very nebulous definition :P

 

in my opinion, you need to feel like you're a whole person before anything will ever really complete you. every relationship I've ever had happened when I wasn't looking or really paying attention. and when I tried looking, nothing worked out. I think it's more of a when you become 1 then you find another 1 and become 3.... or something like that

 

That would be 1337!

Aside from that, what about polygamy?

One man with two wives would be 1.5 people!



.5 = a person cut in half with a death ray!

 

i'd still like to know just why you got married after knowing her for a very short time...


the only flash marriages i've encountered like that were based on a pregnancy, or sex...and they have NEVER lasted.

 

Well, I'm asking now.

And yes a "nicer light", since the response you gave lacked any personal reasons as to why you actually went through with it yourself other then "God gave me the wink and nod". The stark jump from choice #3 to #4 is not very comforting, either... lol

If you need time to get yourself together on the topic, that's fine. Maybe I should make a new thread about it, if it's going to take that much effort to describe things. I do want you to represent your thoughts and feelings adequately, after all.

That's fair enough. Though your stapling two pieces of paper together idea works for my point as well, since I see it as putting together two pages of a document. If the two pages aren't related to each other and continuous, what's the point in stapling?

lol, it'd be like putting a page of the Quran against a page of the Bible... Might make one union, but they sure as hell don't make a lot of sense together.
This thought process would also explain high divorce rates.

Fair enough as well... I say the definition of soulmate varies and is not just one set thing, you say it only pertains to those who feel it's a matter of destiny and alternate lives which is against your beliefs. I think that's the only reason why we're still debating about that topic... lol

 

LoL, polygamists are nutjobs in themselves...

Anybody that wants to go through marriage as many times as possible obviously isn't fit to be counted in this.

 

I like that interpretation. I don't see myself as really having a part of me "missing", so I can't really say that adding someone to me would be completing myself. For me, I'd like a relationship that works like an engine and a turbo. The output of the engine spools the turbo, giving the turbo greater output, and the turbo then puts more air into the engine, giving the engine greater output.

 

lol, oh no doubt... I agree that you have to be right with yourself in order to make a relationship work... The problem that lies from "looking" for a relationship sometimes is that you make yourself believe that whatever person you're after will work out no matter what, due to desperation for company/illusion of love/ hormones...

When you stop actively looking to be WITH someone, you have the chance to learn more about the people that are already around you and within your range.

You also might find that what you want isn't always what you need/will work for you realistically.

 

Wait, 1+1 = 3? Maybe for extremely large values of 1, but if you're going to be using said values, you MUST specify!

 

yes nothing says love like a nice piece of metal shot thru the 2 people binding them together until either one is ripped to shreds trying to escape or the staple removed, still leaving nice holes.


yes..until you turn the boost up too high and then the engine is running TOO well for what it was designed for and explodes from too much efficiency

 

Agreed!

(This whole segway belongs in TFL :P )

BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN

Hey, I got it on good advice to marry her.

And I'll tell you, I'm quite satisfied

I have NO CLUE when I'll have enough time to type that up :P

Man, It would be a great relationship, I do have a lot of exhaust.

LOL!!!!

APEX SEAL TO THE TURBO!

 

You people all need to seek professional help.

 

I still don't know why you kids haven't made the move yet... lol


Hahahah, what about them? They make nice deductions on taxes?


Sounds a lot better then that "stuck with her for the rest of my life" bit you said earlier...


Well, get back to me on it when you do. Kthnx lol

 

thats like the mechanics version of "BOOT TO THE HEAD"?

 

There's no such thing as too much efficiency.

 

I like to think of it more as an "8 ball to the corner pocket": game over man.

 

that was my point. YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED.

 

Any of you 'vert owners in MD need one of these? Let me know or it's off to Ebay!

I ran into a guy who needs one. He drives a red vert in great condition. His first name is Bob. I'm fairly certain he's on here, but I don't know his username.

 

Yeah, he pm'd me one day a week or so ago. Haven't heard from him since. Thanks!
