Marriage as a Status Symbol

[caramale77]

That is exactly how I see it. ty

I would say weddings in GENERAL are status symbols--"the bigger, the better" seems to be the motto. But don't blame women entirely for this--the wedding industry plants the seeds throughout our lives, encouraging the "fairy tale princess" myth that a) every bride should have a fancy dress, a fancy ring, and fancy decorations on her Speshul Day, and b) that a wedding is the epitome of female accomplishment and nothing she does after this (save having children) will be half as important.

women made it a staus symbol cause they are materialistic.

Men could give 2 shits about how big a marriage is. If they could get it over with in 5 min or less, for $5 or less, they'd do it without even thinking about it.

@Omniverse77 my situation was reversed - my husband wanted the wedding for the gifts.. although we both had apartments & the gifts did not come close in value to covering the expense of the meals we provided & the majority of the guests were 6 figure income guests some were millionaires

@Omniverse77 right on man from the start marriage is all about women ,you get on your knees, you buy the big ring, she comes down the isle as if shes a goddess wearing all white been banged by god knows who all so whys she wearing white a symbol of virginity dont know. And so your dumbass is just standing there paying for it all. And hope that it works out! P.S and she wonts you to take her last name now!

You don't know much about men, then.

Do you think men show up at business meetings, social events, groups of other men etc. without an eye for social standing? Doesn't matter, right? Just material shit.

Wrong. Social standing and materialism is not gender specific. It's a universal human trait that gets exaggerated by bad culture. Men and women likely treat it differently, but it's the same principle in motion.

Quit pointing the finger at women, boy. It's pathetic.
