it proves people are habitual and tend to be rooted in traditions

habits: we all have habits, familarity is something we all know with certain things

traditions: religion, holidays, other random ****

the human brain is the most complex thing I can thing of, but anything can be simplified

people tend to want to do things which make them happy and feel secure

goddamn, this **** is not hard to understand

so you're saying that marriage is mostly based on sex and once that gets boring/unenjoyable the marriage is useless? and that people only keep getting married because it's a social norm?

[quote=adb;17846621]the concept as a whole is flawed, thanks to mainstream media's constant happy ending love tales.people, especially women, have unrealistic expectations
[/quote]
Media does have a part to play in its portrayal (bot negative and too positive), however its not the only cause.


marriage is being ruined because of the modern idea that it is truly about love.

lol maslows

adb has a bit of a point, monogamy is the biggest joke since creationism

monogamy can serve pretty important social functions, actually

/slowing spread of STD's

i'm not even trying to support marriage but the idea that adb has that marriage is solely based on sex and physical appeal and nothing else and it gets boring everything goes down the drain is total bullpoop

like i said before some of you would make perfect eco anarchist poster boys

never said that

no I'm saying its pretty impossible to stay attracted to one person physically, but emotionally is another story.

Sex doesn't have to be emotional though

basically. Love is just like any word, open to interpretation and definition

lol **** social functions

marriage needs to be more than just love


love is nice, but really marriage is about finding someone that is decent and consolidating resources to raise a family


that is the main reason for marriage

[quote=Jaundice;17846640]lol **** social functions[/quote]

that being said, not everyone should get married. Some people are just better off being on their own and just having a chick or a guy they spend some time with and ****. Nothing wrong with that.

**** off meat and marriage

[QUOTE=Anglachel;17846642]when was marriage about physical attraction?[/QUOTE]

since the dawn of time.

and Ron is pretty much right

marriage has an audience just like anything else in this world.
DEMOGRAPHICS

if you don't want a family, marriage isn't necessary

Any militant feminist that is living in a wealthy, first world nation is lol. They literally have the most freedom out of any female in the history of man.

well the earth is only 6000 years old

god created us as individuals who forever had ability to make our own choices

racism and sexism are as big a lie as the holocaust

[QUOTE=Anglachel;17846661]facepalm.jpg[/QUOTE]

physical and mental attraction are the two biggest factors

you thinking physical attraction isn't necessary is a facepalm, unless you're referring to platonic marriages and those stupid muslim or w/e arranged marriages

lol god

youve got to be trolling

Yeah, I think you need to be attracted to the person, nothing wrong with that. But its not everything, as cliche as that sounds.
