I guess you girls haven't read the book.....just bashing it because you feel threatened. The good book doesn't put every girl into this category but it will tell you warning signs and how marriage is set up entirely for the female. Marriage is a LEGAL contract. The worst BUSINESS decision that you as a male can make. Not too many guys out there thay I know of who are divorced that cleaned out HER closet on the way out....I would even throw K-Fed in that group....ha ha

Ok girls (and some ladies) now flame away.......:D

I have had MANY 50+ year old guys and gals tell me they love their spouse, but God forbid if anything should happen to them, they won't be getting married again. The truth comes out at 3AM over the middle of the ocean.

First of all, it's ladies or women, not "girls" :p Second of all, the last thing in the world that is threatening to me is a book. Third of all, I refuse to partake in a battle of wits with someone who's unarmed...:rolleyes: Sorry, darling.

Changed it for you......

No, I haven't read the book, and really have no reason to read it. :) I have read summaries of it though, and it doesn't interest me. Why? Because marriage doesn't interest me at this time of my life, and I have a big stack of more interesting "to read" books next to my bed that I'm having a tough enough time to get to! - and I am a voracious reader and love to read! As far as marriage being the worst business decision one can make, I guess that depends on who entered the marriage with the most assets, right? There are ways to protect oneself against that as well. I'm not bashing it because I feel threatened, I don't feel threatened at all. I simply don't respect opinions or intellect that make broad generalizations.

Do tell. Tell it all sister.

Good reply......the only things I would suggest are:

-Fate is the Hunter (Gann)
-Flyboys (not the WWI version..the one about ChiChi Jima) (Bradley)
-Return of the Enola Gay (Tibbits)
-Hard Landing (Petzinger)

I'm a believer that 95% of people that get married are not cut out for each other. Once the infatuation dies and age starts to set in, complications start to rise. Man it gets messy by the time the couple is 40 and 50. By 55, the women are old hags, and the men are smelly geezers wanting to chase anything younger than 50.

My guess is that it will really suck for you at 55. Being a smelly old geezer and all.

I've got to tell you that that some of the most attractive and satisfying women in the world are 50+.
