Not gonna lie, as a guy who’s saving myself for my wife, sex is like, the entire reason I’m looking to get married at all, or at least most of it. ..and my family has a no-alcohol-at-weddings policy.. man, my graph would look so much different.
Some couples actually enjoy the learning process of what makes each other happy.
I was a virgin when I got married but my husband was not. Even if the guy has prior experience, there is still a learning process. Everyone is different in what works for them sexually.
Well, as opposed to not getting married but staying in a committed, celibate relationship, I don’t blame him for looking forward to that aspect of marriage.
Um… I was a virgin when I got married as well as my husband and we were 22 and 23, so your logic is, well, stupid. Quit judging other people by using your misguided, preconceived notions.
I say this because I thought I posted something here that got deleted, and I made sure to eliminate all triggerwords- hey! our symbols appear next to our names now!
my guess is since the last few flame wars, they put in some precautions. I bet using numbers in place of vowels to censor our swears instantly sets off the moderators.
It’s been a long time since I posted here; I have been busy with pundit, but the comments are now closed.
Why I am I saying this? because. I don’t do social networking.
The first diagram was funny and cool. The second one showed a profound ignorance of the dangers of flying half-aςςed into something as permanent as marriage. And yes, it’s permanent; especially if there are kids and you’re a guy. You’ll be financially chained to that person for the rest of your life. Puts that piece of cake back into perspective doesn’t it?
Jeez, calm down. They’re probably joking, and even if not, the graph shows the reasons they’re going to their WEDDING, not why they’re getting married at all.
Uh. Public commitment is marriage. I think what you mean is you can be married without having some hollywood production of a wedding, nor a license. If more people understood that we wouldn’t have so many people cohabitating and stuff.
No, commitment is…commitment. Marriage is a contract. You can, as Ren said, be in love and be committed without entering into the contract that makes the love and the commitment a legal obligation and which almost always comes with the expectation of a ridiculous and very expensive spectacle. (And if your definition of “marriage” is just “public commitment,” then what is your definition of “cohabitation?” Not trying to snark, I’m honestly curious.)
also, the fact that there’s even a portion of that graph saying “guilt free sex” tells me that these people are messed up.
also, ethana2, good on you for sticking to your morals, which the maker of this graph obviously doesn’t have the nads to do. even if i disagree with you i can appreciate the effort that’d require.
That is incorrect, you don’t get free shit. You just get a lot of shit at one time, but slowly you have to give it back when the people you invited also get married. It’s like the bank.
well technically the booze is not free considering you have to get a gift…where i come from you give money at a wedding so the booze is not actually for free
If I am paying for you to have a night out, drink free booze, eat good food and get a decent DJ, you can at least stop by Bed Bath and Beyond to get a wok.
Am I the only person who finds cake to be the most boring, disgusting dessert “food” in existence? If I have the choice between a generic cake and water, I choose water. Even Jello is more interesting.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this person lasted one whole week before the divorce. Do you think that’s pushing it? I was originally going to say three days.
People are stupid. First: this was clearly a joke. Second: The graph says “We’re”, not “I’m”. Third: These are the reasons they are GOING TO they’re wedding, not why they’re GETTING married. They could be getting married because they are in love, but GO to their wedding for all the perks. But that doesn’t matter anyways because point one still applys. It’s a joke; take it as such.
You are in so much trouble if your fiance finds this.
Not necessarily it does say ‘reasons we’re going to our wedding’ implying that’s the reasons they’re both going.
Not entirely accurate, Bridesmaids severely outweigh cake, they’re almost on par with free booze.
I go mainly go 2 wedding/christenings 4 free food and drinks lol dnt judge me

Do your future wife a favour and get some practice in before you get married.
Some couples actually enjoy the learning process of what makes each other happy.
I was a virgin when I got married but my husband was not. Even if the guy has prior experience, there is still a learning process. Everyone is different in what works for them sexually.
So you don’t intend to have sex until you get married, and the only reason you’d get married is to have sex… Anyone else see a flaw in this logic?
Well, as opposed to not getting married but staying in a committed, celibate relationship, I don’t blame him for looking forward to that aspect of marriage.
It makes more sense when you keep in mind that my life is not about me, and my marriage will not be about us.
So is your marriage going to be about your neighbors or something?
you’re either 17 or you’re never getting married. sorry
Um… I was a virgin when I got married as well as my husband and we were 22 and 23, so your logic is, well, stupid. Quit judging other people by using your misguided, preconceived notions.
i think that is cool
my husband was a virgin when we got married. he made a vow to himself and he kept it
dont listen to these naysayers
Yep, the graph is mostly right.
I go to weddings for the bridesmaids and the free booze.
It’s an *awesome* combination.
are all comments now moderated?

I got a little worried when I saw the second gold part. I’m glad it didn’t say “We’re related” again…
Me too!
Ten bucks says they’ll never reach year two.
Agreed.

dude you must not love cake like the rest of us!!! totally worth the 18 years of garnished wages!!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Jeez, calm down. They’re probably joking, and even if not, the graph shows the reasons they’re going to their WEDDING, not why they’re getting married at all.
Sad for you.
Exactly what I was thinking.
You can be in love and committed without getting actually married.
Uh. Public commitment is marriage. I think what you mean is you can be married without having some hollywood production of a wedding, nor a license. If more people understood that we wouldn’t have so many people cohabitating and stuff.

(And if your definition of “marriage” is just “public commitment,” then what is your definition of “cohabitation?” Not trying to snark, I’m honestly curious.)
Yeah, that’s what I am right now. But if they PLAN on having a wedding, for gods sake do it for love, not…free shit. How sad!
“Guilty free sex” What’s there to feel guilty about with sex?
Well because before they got married, their sexual activities made baby jesus cry.
Poor baby jesus.
i you did you wife mom? oh wut?
Sexual immorality is condemned by many faiths that do not recognize Jesus as being divine.
and they’re all just as brainless!
you mean premarital sex is defined as being immoral by many faiths that do not consider jesus to be divine.
also, the fact that there’s even a portion of that graph saying “guilt free sex” tells me that these people are messed up.
also, ethana2, good on you for sticking to your morals, which the maker of this graph obviously doesn’t have the nads to do. even if i disagree with you i can appreciate the effort that’d require.

well technically the booze is not free considering you have to get a gift…where i come from you give money at a wedding so the booze is not actually for free
You probably eat and drink more than your gift is worth…
This was obviously made by a male
What is the bridesmaids aren’t single?
If I am paying for you to have a night out, drink free booze, eat good food and get a decent DJ, you can at least stop by Bed Bath and Beyond to get a wok.
Cake is a lie!
After this wedding is over……cake will be your reward………
Who wants to get free SHIT for their wedding anyways?
Love’s a beautiful thing, ain’t it?
Am I the only person who finds cake to be the most boring, disgusting dessert “food” in existence? If I have the choice between a generic cake and water, I choose water. Even Jello is more interesting.
Tha cake is a lie!!!!!!
And, this is why the divorce rate is so high.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this person lasted one whole week before the divorce. Do you think that’s pushing it? I was originally going to say three days.

(the number one cause of divorce is marriage)
