why is

You okay willing?

*hugs willing*
 
hmmm. *thinks* I guess its cuz being in love and being married and having a family is like the ultimate thing. or accomplishment. its something everyone yearns for because finding that perfect someone and being in love is so special and even though everyone falls in love in there lives, with each person its very special in its own way. Its being ultimately happy and feeling good and i dunno. im just a kid but i know what im saying in my head. lol.

its deep stuff is what im saying. hehe.

Keep up the threads willing. *hugs* im that much closer to being a guru. hehe. and there really making me think at the same time. :)

I wish I knew, I'd love to be able to share the answer with you
 
I would have to say that MysteryJKR sums it up best although sometimes people and society in general are really pushy.
 
personaly...

i've never really actively sought out love or someone to marry...


if it happens..... it happens...

to me, those are two things that, if 'forced', won't last...

No truer words have been spoken recently,,,
 
It all depends on your outlook on life Willing. Technically I am not supposed to have sex or get involved with woman. In fact doing so has forced me to reconsider a path I was thinking of taking. I don't regret that decision but it was serious consideration at one point.
 
No two people are going to have the same answers. The only importance that I feel is what I place on it. I want that serious, intimate connection that develops with someone that you truly care about; some to have be there and to be there for, the whole nine yards.

Believe me, you can have an amazing life on your own. But for me, I've decided that that other person is something that I want in my life.

*hugz willing*

If things are down, just hold on and ride it out. As hokey as it sounds, things will get better.

Hmm..... this is the first of two very similar posts from Miss Pensive today........

The two things you ask here arre very different, both can be with or without the other.

Marrige is not so important to some, love is important for most due to the reasons given in the other thread.
 
We live in a society with outdated beliefs, especially for women, who as close as fifty years ago were brought up being told that the only way they can succeed in this world is to marry a rich man and take care of his every whim. Nowadays that just isn't so, there are many ways in which a woman can succeed, in most fields women are actualy far more talented than there male counterparts. But still our society hold onto thier beliefs that a woman must find a man and get married.

For a man this is totally different, he can sleep around with as many partners as he likes and is in fact praised for it, when a woman tries this she is called a slut, because she is supposed to only think about starting a family and not supposed to be making the most of her life.

Another example to this is the term for an unmarried man is a bachalor which is a term which is celebrated and such bachalors are praised for going through life escaping the tyrany of woman. But a woman that never gets married is called a spinster, this is a word with a lot of detrimental baggage attached to it and spinsters are thought of as being ugly, grumpy mean old woman bitter towards everyone.

In short (I bet you wish I just told you the short version) the reason so much is put on finding love and getting married (especially for women), is the fact that our beliefs are set on ancient traditions and nothing more. The only real reason you should go out and try to find love be it with a man, woman or even a mongoose should be because you as a person is ready for it at that time. Until you feel that you are ready to settle down and until you find the object of your love and they are ready too, just enjoy yourself. Make the most of your life, love will find you when you are least expecting, you rarely find it until you stop looking.

Peace and serenity,

Sad Man.xxx
