Marriage Is A Business

In 2006, 86 billion dollars was blown on weddings. This number is misleading, however, as it does not include all the bullshit newly married women buy in an effort to wash the stain of ex-girlfriend off of their new husband’s old furniture.

Yes. Women think like that.

The 86 billion dollar Wedding Waste also does not account for all the vacation plans and work days your average wedding fucks with — especially mine. The real dollar figure is probably in the trillions. Remember when Jennifer Aniston shut down the PCH for her wedding? How much did that bitch cost?

Weddings are obviously a business for dress makers, photographers, videographers, caterers, shitty DJ’s, bakers, florists, musicians, priests, Elvis priests, limo drivers, divorce attorneys, and the entire “chick flick” industry, but more importantly, weddings are a business for you: the groom. Whether you like it or not!

Congratulations, gay people of California. Welcome to hell.

When you sign on the dotted line of a marriage license, you’re entering a business contract. Forget the vows. Forget the Chicken Dance. Forget the lame bachelor party that takes place camping instead of at a strip club because the modern groom is too much of a pussy to look at a naked boob — and the modern bride is too fucking stupid and too much of a bitch to realize that paying to see some tits does not count as cheating. Seeing naked tits is not even in the same universe as cheating. If Total Recall had been released in 2008, engaged men wouldn’t be allowed to see it.

When you get married, you are signing a legal contract. That’s what marriage is. It has nothing to do with “romantic gesture” and everything to do with getting claws in your cash. If you don’t think that’s 100% true, try telling your fiancee that you’re fine with embarrassing yourself in front of your 200 closest friends and family by emotionally masturbating with her in some kind of sick, childlike pantomime of sincere affection just to put a smile on her face; you just don’t want to sign a legal document that leverages sex against money.

Because that’s called prostitution.

The thunderclap you’ll hear right after telling her that is the sound of her vagina closing to you forever. Marriage is a business. When you leave the business part out, women don’t consider it marriage. All women are whores, and nothing says that better than the words, “I do”.

Leaving money out of a marriage turns a woman’s vagina from a retirement fund into a coin purse.

Before you cinch the nuptial noose around your nuts, I want you to ask yourself one question:

Do you remember the last time you made a business decision just because you “felt lucky”? Well do you, Punk?

Besides motorcycles, boats, and mortgages that half of America couldn’t afford, men do not make business decisions based on their feelings and, more importantly, they are never encouraged to start. Consult my last three examples. Each of them is a financial black hole and only one of them turns a profit in Man Points.

Boats are money pits; motorcycles sit unused in the garage until I buy them on eBay for a substantially reduced price; and marriage is a subprime meltdown for your personal life.

Marriage is a business and a WSB (Whore Savings Bond) for the shrill bitch your wife will become the second the divorce papers are signed.

Can you imagine if the rest of the business world operated like the business of marriage? Everything would be owned by one big conglomerate because it would be too expensive for companies to stop doing business with one another. Nothing would ever improve because with no competition, GE wouldn’t invent the all-in-one convection oven/microwave. GE would just sit around in a velor jumpsuit watching television all day, imagining ways her kids could be in danger, and approaching a size 16 at 55 miles and hour in the fast lane. Decisions would be made by a faceless entity of compromise that made no one happy and somehow took ten times as long. Everyone would get 50% of everything no matter how impossible that was and how little work everyone else did. And everything would suck because marriage has zero benefits.

You can have children without being married. Trust me.

The entire shit would also be run by divorce lawyers. In the business of marriage, they’re the real winners.

Every time I get drunk, I sign a contract with Jack Daniels that promises the feeling will last forever. It doesn’t. It’s called a hangover. Grow up and deal with it.

50% of the time, marriage doesn’t “work”, it just doesn’t fail. Just because you didn’t crash your car on the way to Vegas doesn’t mean you had a good time. Maybe you stayed in Binions. Maybe you lost your wallet at a blackjack table. Maybe you just sat in the driveway and cried because your wife will never be your 20 year old secretary.

That’s a loss of Man Points.

Americans , why don’t you make a petition in witch to ask the government to change what marriage is?????

Marriage should be a contract with the government in witch a man and a woman oblige to raise their kids until 18 years , and nothing else .
No sharing , no nothing , no shared bank accounts , no shared property titles, nothing in common .
And the divorce be a simple procedure , done only by a signature in witch one of the two decides to brake up.
And the custody of the kids be decided on who has more moneys to support the kids.

Why don’t you make a petition like this????

Dick , make an online petition on this !!!
America is the best country to start this , and then Europeans will have a precedent and adopt it also , like prenup contract.

Any man who has anything to say that is in the least way detrimental to a woman will get shouted down, protested and voted out of office. It will be ignored.

In case you didn’t know (and since you are a female, I guarantee you didn’t connect the logic) women are the greater voting bloc. There are 7 million more women voters than men and its been that way for over 100 years.

Dicks right, they are a waste of time. Anyway, the number of signatures on the bill is probaly only a fraction of the signatures opposing it. Sorry, but that won’t fly that well with the us government. O and lets not forget about 90% of the American people.

The Titanic sank because it got hit by an iceburg, genius! DURRR. It would of sank anyway,it didn’t matter how much weight was on it. The boat freakin’ broke in half, nothing could of stopped it from sinking. well maybe if the MAN who built it made more life boats, instead of only 40 something, all would of went well. :)

No benefit for a man in marriage. Really think about it. Why should a man who has worked hard share his fortune with some whore who he is going to take it all away in the end. Women trap us into marriage.

Comment by manns
2008-07-23 10:20:07

Because a woman can supply that man with a child, and thus allow the man to continue his genetic lineage. This, in turn, gives the man a reason to work and make money - namely to pass on his wealth and experience to his sons. Marriage used to be a mutually beneficial arrangement, and now that it isn’t beneficial to men, we’re turning away from it. But just because it’s bullshit now, with the women that we have, doesn’t mean the concept is bullshit.

Don’t worry , women will be replaced with far efficient ways to pass on our DNA, and passing on our DNA is the closest to immortality than anything .

We will replace them with robots to raise kids and artificial wombs to build kids , in 20-30 years.

Don’t get married , what ever you do , don’t get married !!!!Marriage is just for gays and lesbians , wait for those robots to be build , MEN already have this technology , only the costs are to big for now .

But computers are doubling in performance every two years, exactly by Moore law , only a breakthrough is needed to incorporate those new technologies into robots.

What we can do , is to encourage new technologies , invest on stock market in electronics companies , and buy robots that are on market today.

So don’t get married , and don’t respect women , just the one you’re with , but after you dump her , don’t respect that one either .

Just fuck as many women you can , no responsabilities in any case , they’ve lost those rights , and those were their only rights to live alongside men .

THE CUNT WANTS A RING

I tell you about those RINGS and the CUNT

Men do not buy any rings for a Woman. It is a gimick that started by De Beers in the 1800’s. Keep your money in your pocket. If a woman doesn’t like not getting a promotional gimick (that makes De Beers & others wealthy) after you explain that it is a gimick, then dump her. If she cannot understand your logic and resoning, that’s a RED FLAG warning you to run as far away as possible from that woman. Also if she starts crying, she is a child in an adults body and that is a RED FLAG to run, run, run.

Do not ever sucum to a woman’s crying game where she wins. It’s man-ipulation. Do you want to be a man married to a man-ipulator?

Fuck the rings. Engagement and Wedding Rings etc area BIG FAT EMOTIONAL LIES TO TAKE YOUR MONEY Friend. Rings are meaningless anyway. Women are greedy little CUNTS, aren’t they?

De Beers Marketing Promotional Campaigns

De Beers (through its sales and marketing arm, the DTC) has been very successful in increasing desire for diamonds. The famous advertising line “A Diamond is Forever” (attempting to discourage diamond owners from putting their older diamonds onto the secondary market, thus limiting competition) was coined in 1947 and the company has created many successful campaigns since then. One of the most effective of these has been the marketing of diamonds as a symbol of love and commitment and thus the ideal jewel for an engagement or wedding ring.

Some of the campaigns started by De Beers include the “eternity ring” (as a symbol of continuing affection and appreciation), the “trilogy” ring (representing the past, present and future of a relationship) and the “right hand ring” (bought and worn by women as a symbol of independence).
De Beers is also known for its television advertisements featuring silhouettes of people wearing diamonds, to the music of Palladio by Karl Jenkins.The company spends $150 million per year on advertising.

Here is an acrostic for a women using one of their most important names “CUNT”:

Cunning, Unpredictable, Negative, Tramp

Marriage, weddings, engagement rings, valentines day, mother’s day are all devices of women and commercial enterprise .

If most men knew their hard earned monetary funds were being swindled away by women and commercial enterprise , men would put a stop to it. The men would have more money in their own pockets.

Thanks for your time and allowing me on a Manly Website, who’s title bares the truth “Men are better then women.”

Hollywood’s Opinion

What percentage of women would Lie? I believe the following to be the truth:

Scotland’s National Newspaper
96% of women are liars, honest
The Scotsman (Scotland’s National Newspaper),

December 9th, 2004

-EDWARD BLACK

NINETEEN out of 20 women admit lying to their partners or husbands, a survey on attitudes to truth and relationships has found.

Eighty-three per cent owned up to telling “big, life-changing lies”, with 13 per cent saying they did so frequently.

Half said that if they became pregnant by another man but wanted to stay with their partner, they would lie about the baby’ s real father.

Forty-two per cent would lie about contraception in order to get pregnant, no matter the wishes of their partner.

And an alarming 31 per cent said they would not tell a future partner if they had a sexual disease: this rises to 65 per cent among single women.

In the poll of 5,000 women for a magazine “That’ s Life!” 45 per cent said they told “little white lies” most days. The favorite untruth was “of course you don’ t look fat”, with “these shoes were only 10″ in second place.

Jo Checkley, the editor of That’ s Life! , said that while many women now lied to avoid hurting their partner’ s feelings, covering up the truth about a baby could have far more damaging consequences.

She said: “Modern women just can’ t stop lying, but they do it to stop hurting other people’ s feelings. It could be argued that these little white lies simply make the world go round a little more smoothly. But to tell a man a baby is his when it’ s not, or to deliberately get pregnant when your partner doesn’t’ t want a baby, is playing Russian roulette with other people’ s lives.”

The National Scruples and Lies Survey 2004 found plenty of untruths were told over the Christmas period. A total of 78 per cent said they would pass off a second-hand gift as a brand new present, while half have lied about a Christmas card being “lost in the post”.

Women will also lie to save people’ s feelings, with only 27 per cent saying they would tell a man if he was hopeless in bed (although a third would tell their friends all about it).

Just over half would flatter a man if he asked them about his looks and only 46 per cent would give the “brutal truth”. However, 61 per cent of women would want their partners to be “brutally honest” if they asked them “do I look fat?” or “do you think my best friend’ s attractive?”

Elsewhere, 54 per cent admitted stealing sweets or chocolates; 23 per cent would “sneak a bottle or two” home if they were invited to a party by a well-off friend; 49 per cent would “kiss and tell” to the media for 25,000 if they had a one-night stand with a celebrity; and 38 per cent say they would marry purely for money.

Nearly half said they had faked orgasms and 55 per cent admitted claiming they were tired, had a headache, or felt ill to “get out of lovemaking”.

Nineteen per cent of women with a long-term partner said they had cheated on him, while 30 per cent of all women have had an affair with a married man. Sixty-eight per cent said they did not trust their partner.

As far as trustworthy personalities are concerned, the woman with “the most honest face” was Fern Britton, the This Morning host. She was followed by the singer Kerry Katona (formerly McFadden), Sharon Osbourne of The X Factor and the Queen.

The results come in the wake of the controversy surrounding David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, and his former lover, the publisher Kimberly Quinn. They had a child, but she kept details of the affair secret from her husband Stephen, even taking her son to Corfu for a week’ s holiday to bond with him this year.

Mr. Quinn accepted his wife’ s story, but she had covered up the fact that she was accompanied by Mr. Blunkett.

• The survey questioned 5,000 women, average age 38, across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Top ten porkies

The magazine “That’ s Life!” has carried out its National Scruples and Lies Survey 2004 to find out the top ten lies told by women. They are:

1. “Of course you don’ t look fat!”
2. “These shoes were only 10.”
