As far as I'm concerned, any guy in my life is more likely to get laid if I don't have to pick up his dirty underwear or cook for him every damn night... Tongue

But to be realistic, that's like bumping his chances from 1% to 3%. Tongue

Can I assume you're making a generalisation about women here?

Actually, based on my own long-distance relationship, to be honest, having to cook for him a few nights in a row would be a nice change of pace.

I voted for the last option, by the way, but if we ever decide to go through with this thing, it's likely I'll be in the same kind of situation as Mickey and Raff, which is kind of ironic.

 I wasn't trying to. Only supposing the mere act of not leaving dirty underwear everywhere wouldn't get the guy to 100% assured Laidsville. I dunno I guess my wise cracking was off that day.

Considering modern society, I think it's best for people to get to know their partner in that way before tying the legal knot!

I'm not religious, therefor marriage means absolutely nothing to me...it's basically like...well we're in a relationship.  If we get married we'll be in a relationship and a church says its okay.....
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

I think it was hilarious :-) reminds of that Dutch tennis ( Richard Krajeck) star a few years ago who said women's tennis is no longer the same because it was all lesbians playing. Anyway there was a huge uproar and a quick press conference was gathered together where he apologised profusely and that he did not mean all women tennis players were lesbians only 99 % of them...LOL Kind of the same humor, very good.

Hmmm, I take care of my own laundry, my wife does most of the cooking, and our love life is wonderful.

I think this thread should stay open in the main page until June will answer Henryplainview here in public ! LOL
 
To the topic. My own experience is living with the girl a year and a half before marriage (and it was quite hard to her family cause of religious feelings they had) and after 19 years of marriage (and 2 kids) we divorced.
I think this period of living together was important to us to realise we want to live our life together but the thing is that in such a long period things changes and what was good when you were 25 years old is not what matters when you are 40 years old.
I am today in a relationsheep which will not come to marriage since both of us feel it is irrelevant for us but as many others here said it is something individual and I do not claim that what's fine with me suits any other so I did not vote. Oh, I don't have a daughter so this may be unfair but she got to have sex someday and the age of 19 sounds O.K. to me.
 
I liked Cp's post. Laughed a lot. However, I'm sure if you realy wanted it, you would have find it (you see, even I managed to find a girl that is not only smart, beautiful and kind but also thinks I'm quite alright myself , god knows why).

Well this weekend I did about 4 loads of laundry, ironed a bunch of my dress shirts....but she cooked. She's a Cajun Coon Ass...so her food is much better than mine.

Marriage means taking a vow, so you should not rush into it. Anyway, Jean and I had to wait for almost seven years before we could marry because it had not been legal before that. Ah well, the special problems of same-sex relationships.

The pattern being sharing chores?

Sounds good to me.


And no, Henry, I will not sleep with you, my heart belongs to MrFirmTush and you're too young for me. But thanks for offering Wink (if that's what you were doing Tongue). I was merely suggesting that it's easier to keep the magic alive in a relationship if you don't have to deal with the boring day-to-day annoyances.
