Let me guess...

Girlfriend reads GTAM, starts hammering you questions regarding your previous conquests.

A moment of silence for the once-mighty Roasted's libido and tales of conquest; they shall be missed.

:sign10:
 
My parents go on a nightly walk hand-in-hand, they'll be celebrating their 50th anniversary in November.

Marriage doesn't have to suck.

If you and your GF are happy, just ride out the 'every one else is doing it' and do what you want to do.
 
So far I'm loving my 30's more than my 20's. Could be cause I started riding soon after my 30th;) Oh and I'm single so no stress there.

I totally get what you mean though with all the weddings. I have two this year and yay both showers are a day apart. You are so damn lucky to be a guy and not have to attend those things.

I guess I am also used to the pressure from the parents about marriage because I am a Greek girl so they have been pushing that on me for a decade now. lol

Now that you brought it up. I need to make a confession.

I like going to weddings..

Reason is: THE RECEPTION AND THE AFTERPARTY!!

In most case the reception is a buffet!! EAT EAT EAT who cares what anybody else thinks EAT!!

And the afterparty has booze and more food (desserts) none which you have to pay for!!

So when someone invites me for a wedding, I look at the benefits first.

Really, you go to weddings empty handed.
 
Marriage is a great way to ruin your life, accumulate monumental debts, shorten your lifespan, and guarantee crippling financial dues should you ever have the gracious release that is divorce.

Or, you can date college girls, ride motorcycles, go on vacations, and frankly do what ever the **** you want! If you get bored with something, do something else! :cool: I don't see why this is such a hard equation for you young guys?

i don't think you can extrapolate your parents' experience to all married couples and infer that the only reason they don't divorce is because they choose to stay married.

if they truly tried to make it work, and are still miserable after 40 years, then by all means get a divorce, they certainly have made a go of it. . .is your mother financially trapped?

You were the one generalizing, not me. And no, my mother stays out of guilt and because she has been with my dad since she was 17, I guess.

ROFLMAO!!...

Man, I hear you on the wedding front. I teach every weekend through the summer, about 2/3 "bride to be groups" a weekend. Honestly, I'm all "woo hoo'd" out and can't help but roll my eyes at all the penis paraphernalia....sigh...Wedding season.

I even have a Bridal Shower to attend this weekend and a Bachalorette next...I'm in agreeance with Raf...you guys are sooo lucky you don't have to attend those things..."oh yay, here comes another toilet paper bride" *claps hands sarcastically*.

Luckily most of my friends got married in their mid-20s, so not only has that family responsibility passed, but I don't have a social obligation to couple up and settle in. However, they're now ALL having babies...sigh...

So Roasted, I feel ya...most my friends have moved onto the next stage of their life, starting families, and somehow, your timeline doesn't mesh so well. So, you've got the right idea, keep hanging with the friends that are younger, or older, just find groups of friends that mesh with the same timeline, and 30 won't be so boring. Or just do what I did....jump out of a plane, or sign up for a Racer5 course =)
 
This is beautiful!

Sigh, I hope if I ever get married I do not have a bachlorette like that. Too cliche and boring in my mind. Besides I hate thinking of marriage as a death or end of something. Its not even a beginning. Its a vow to one another. People shouldnt change with marriage as now your not the person that they married.

All it is a promise that you'll be with the person till the end and will try your hardest to make it work. (I do still believe in divorce)

I'm not a fan of people changing when they are in relationships either. Obviously you now have a person to focus on and your time is more taken up by them but you still have friends and even if its arranging girls night (guys nights too) or just sending a note once in a while to say "hey I still care" you gotta remember they matter too.

Kids in the picture, completely difference scenerio, but then I also believe that a part of caring for your kids is caring for yourself so you can be a good happy parent. So back to my original belief cept your a more pg rated version of yourself. lol.
 
I would get married so I can get my money back from all the weddings I went too.

You're fortunate, then, to have not yet been introduced to the practise called the "stag and doe." It's a tradition among those of Anglo Saxon Protestant upbringing wherein the bride and groom, who already know that they don't trust each other as far as a pistol shot, inflict this upon all of their friends and relatives.
 
The stag events my mates are going on nowadays back in England are weekend events to places all over Europe. Serious money but only for friends you can trust implicitly to keep their mouths shut. I have enough on my mates, and they have enough on me, so that M.A.D. apllies.

Off to Ibiza, eh, in hopes of hooking up with a Page 3 girl on a shoot?

Oh sorry..that Stag and Doe was a few weeks ago...but luckily I had 2 bachalorette parties to teach that night...yay...
 
When I was getting married, we did away with the god forsaken cash grab parties (bachelor, bachelorette, engagement, etc). They're completely unnecessary and 95% of the people who have them do so because "everyone else does".
