I'd hope that if I ever were to marry, my 'best' gifts would be my personality, love, and common interests with whoever I was marrying. Not virginity. That's just stupid.

the idea of a purity ball makes me shudder. it's great if you want to wait but you don't ever have to promise your virginity to your father. promise it to yourself.

Is this the shit women watch while the men are at work, no wonder I'll never get married, every girl is doomed to embrace being a whore and using there virginity to sell it, or their product, with a 50% divorce rate, you won't see me giving up half my assets to a slut.

If touching Jessica Valenti where she pees is wrong I don't want to be right.

3. People seem to think a guy who isn't married doesn't have what they call a "life", but I disagree. I seem to be happier and more energetic than most of the married guys I work with.

My next step is to keep saving heavily then in about 18 months I'll sell this totally paid off condo, add my savings and buy a house (mortgage free) on an acre or so, within commute distance from work. Then start a big permaculture garden, get a couple roommates who like gardening, and live happily ever after.

2. I don't hate women or anything, I just don't bother with them very often. Once I went past 40 I have less and less reason to participate in the whole dating mess. My list girlfriend was over 2 years ago and I don't miss her or dating one bit. I can see why women in their 30's are starting to have trouble finding husbands. It's because guys my age are just starting to enjoy life and we start realizing we don't want to disrupt it by letting some aging crazy woman into our lives.

There's something a bit weird about the purity balls but if it's what they want to do, well, it's a free country.

I love the way our culture doesn't bully you into living a certain way, at least not as much, these days. In the past a man had to marry in order to be taken seriously but these days it's not even relevant. It's allowed me to skip the whole drag factor of supporting a wife or paying child support and live my own life, get debt free and have about 2600 a month in excess income.
