i've been proposed to more often than most.
some people obviously believe i'm marriage material.

but what's wrong with just having a relationship?
why the fuck would i change it so that i have to get permission from some stuffy court official, who has never met either one of us, before i can decide that relationship is over?

that's insane!

You seem like a lovely guy Jonesy, m8. Altho - from this and other posts I get the feeling you tend to invest too much in relationships, try too hard - and make it too difficult for yourself? Relax and be a bit easier on yerself and things will mebbe be more enjoyable and work better? :D
Ha :) well to be fair I was exaggerating slightly in that post but you do have a point. I am starting to think life is too short. I grew up always wanting a gf and more and more I'm asking myself the question why?

Well, besides the possible irritation bit, then I am marriage material...

Problem is, I have no desire to be married.

I'm the same. I think the list makes for perfect SINGLE material. I don't believe in marriage either. Still I have no violent objection if a man and a woman are determined to make such a contract. As for same sex marriage I believe it's absurd and ultimately pointless.

In any case the highest priority is the welfare and upbringing of any children that may result. If this can only be achieved by marriage, then so be it.

Interesting question.

I've never been married, though I've been asked a couple of times (and eventually thought better of it). I have no children, am healthy and physically fit, and continually strive for self-improvement in all areas. Drama- and religion-free, though definitely spiritual. Articulate and self-confident, but with a healthy amount of modesty.

I consider myself marriage material for someone who could be a proper match for me. I take great pleasure in sharing my life with someone and making him happy (provided the efforts are mutual). Though, if I never find 'the one', I'm perfectly happy on my own :smile:

I have family on the cape, salem, and in boston....

I have family all over New York. In fact lived in Queens for a short time as a small kid. WoW! All of this bonding and in a thread about marriage to boot. It's enough to bring a tear to the eye. :biggrin1:

Yes, I've always thought myself to indeed be marriage material and look to the day when I can fulfill that dream.

I think, perhaps it's not the marriage itself but the layers that I desire. I consider myself ready to share a complete life and home with one person, ready to commit to that relationship, and ready to be a father.

These thoughts bring me joy. I'm on the hunt ;-)

The younger generation of women do not enjoy being feminine: they curse like sailors, dress inappropriately, they do not shut up, and they do not listen, and have babies out-of-wedlock.....in other words, can't wait for a husband.

FFS. Apparently, self-identified women can be misogynists too. I just love preachy self-righteousness on a big dick site. Too funny.

On topic, meh, probably not.

MickeyLee gave me the inspiration for my reply.

I'm lazy.
I'm emotional.
Sometimes paranoid.
very very proud.
And rarely fully content/satisfied.

But I'm also caring.
Loving.
Very into making the girl unbelievably satisfied in bed.
Want kids
Want to make a woman happy

I want to be marriage material for that one girl who I am yet to meet.

However, personally. How the fuck can I call myself marriage material? Ask the person in the future who wants to marry me :L or turns me down...

Aw, I thought this was really sweet.

I've been told that I am relationship material. I don't really know why that is, but I accept it as a kind compliment.

I am not sure if that translates into being marriage material.

With the right person, I think I would be.

I would want to find that person attractive, obviously (although that can cover a wide span of attributes).

I would want that person to work, unless they were staying home full time with (potential) kids.

I would want someone that doesn't have to "go out" constantly. I enjoy a balance of time at home and time out.

I would want someone that is completely trustworthy, caring and loving.

OK now...where's the line -- that can't be too hard to find..... ;-\

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you're speaking of the United States, in some communities, some ethic cultures, etc., marriage may be: remember, the strict religious communities haven't abandoned the concept of marriage.

Since I don't live in a foreign country, and in some of the most strictest countries, marriages are taking place, especially in the Catholic countries.

No one bitched about marriages in the 40s and 50s because "Father Knows Best," "I Married Joan," "The Jackie Gleason Show," and "Leave It To Beaver," were considered American marriage idols to be envied.

Fast forward to 2012 -- most people are anti-marriage. Now, the very young would not know of the above-mentioned shows....their mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers (not omitting the fathers and grandfathers) -- would know about them.

Of course, I'm marriage material. However, how many men want a woman who is?

1. Single, no children.
2. Educated (retired high-school teacher).
3. Episcopalian (not Catholic).
4. Attractive figure.
5. No drama.
6. Receiving a state pension.
7. Not in debt
8. Personable; extroverted; great communicator; compassionate (even toward animals); respects her man's opinion; wants a man to wear the pants, etc.
9. Very feminine and dresses, accordingly.
10. Articulate.

For me, it appears I may have to leave the country because American men have 'no-balls.' Hell, no, back-in-the-day, men were men; women were women.

The younger generation of women do not enjoy being feminine: they curse like sailors, dress inappropriately, they do not shut up, and they do not listen, and have babies out-of-wedlock.....in other words, can't wait for a husband.
I love the diversity of this site. I find it attractive that you know who you are and what you want out of life. Just because this doesn't jibe with the majority of Gen Y women (and men) doesn't mean you should be criticised as mysoginist (or racist or homophobic etc).

That being said, if I read your post as if it were written by a middle aged man searching for a wife with the qualities you listed I would assume that he might be looking for a foreign "mail order bride". Such a person would likely be derided by the majority, and that would likely include myself.

So even though it's 2012 and you DO exist and no mail order is involved, I say stand up for your values and go out and find your match, I'm sure he's out there, he may even be here on LPSG. Nothing would surprise me anymore!

I am not gay marriage material. I don't trust a man enough for power of attorney. And I definately do not trust a man on a joint bank account.



....and neither am I for the same reasons. I got burned once on the joint bank account front. Never again.

It's funny, really. I hear it all the time: "how can you possibly be single? I can't believe nobody has snatched you up" etc... Apparently the entire rest of the world thinks I'm marriage material. I, however, don't. I leave town for days, sometimes weeks at a time. I enjoy not having to tell anyone I'm leaving, or that I'm coming home. I enjoy coming and going as I please. I also enjoy spending my money on myself and not on anyone else. My track record with relationships is horrible, as I've dug up some real losers. I don't have it in me to search for "the one" anymore. I'm perfectly fine with things as they are. Throw in a little random sex with a fuckbuddy (and I do have one now) every once in awhile to keep myself sane, and I'm good with things as they are.

Put in that aspect, do I sound like marriage material? I highly doubt it.

Wow you sound like my kind of woman :cool:. I wouldn't mind marring you but sadly I think I'm too young for you lol. I don't think that most people are anti-marriage (I have friends from grade school that are married right now). However, I find it interesting that some of the people who don't want to get married, have no problem living and staying faithful boyfriend or girlfriend which to me is the same thing.

I ended up becoming the type of person I was hoping to meet and fall in love with 20 years ago.
It's weird that, but totally conceivable. As I get older I'm aware of all the things I used to look for in people - and what others might also be looking for, and I dunno, it's somehow easier to embody it than to want it myself, if that makes sense? :p
