society pressure...if you get to a certain age and you're not married, people start thinking something's wrong with u. if it was up to men, we would have kids with 5 diff women without being married prolly

[Masu485]

I will write up my analysis soon. I hate giving away such information for free, but the more people I can lead to the Truth, the better.

[a4u2fear]

tax breaks, and not having to worry about what you look like, you'll still have sex regularly

[frizzelli]

Its a fact that daihomo parents are inbred, its a fact.

I like the 5 different women part but 5 plus kids...not so much...

[daimoshokage]

"People get married so they won't look like a ** like me!" -paco

seems like a solid argument..

Without marriage, the world would be one huge "occupy wallstreet" cesspool...

[opie1988]

I got married because I found someone I really loved who also happened to love me back. Trust me, it's a hard gig. No doubt. But we try everyday to make it work. After 10 years of just being married, we had a kid. She's 4 now, and has been without a doubt the pleasure of our lives.

So I guess I got married to have a family. And although when I was in mid-twenties a "family man" was the last thing I thought I'd ever want to be.......I wouldn't trade it for anything.

For me, it's what life is all about.

Opie you look like you're about 60 bro how the fukk do you have a 4 year old pal?

Ok, this is why people get married.

Biologically, we are on this planet for 2 reasons: to survive and replicate. Why that is, I've been searching for an answer to for years. The end result of this constant survival and replication is still a mystery. Anyway, knowing that the two main objectives for our existence are survival and replication, we can then narrow it down to gender. The human brain has barely evolved from that of the first homo sapiens. It has grown in intelligence due to socialization, but our emotions, and the way we react to things is almost identical.

So women, back then and now, are seen as having replication value. If we recall, replication is one of the MAIN objectives of our existence. For men, they want to simply extend their genetic line. For women, though, their main objective is survival. For a woman, then as now, men represent survival value, the 2nd main reason for our existence. Throughout history, it has predominantly MEN protecting their females, be it through going to war, or simply defending the tribe. Men's lives are often cut short by this, but they have successfully accomplished their duty as long as their genetic line continues.

All this lead to a natural balance, with women basically exchanging the replication value, in order for protection from their men. There was a natural balance for centuries. Nowadays though, women seem to want to be successful themselves. This disrupts the natural balance, as men will NO LONGER have survival value. Men would be useless, while women will ALWAYS have replication value for a man because she has her womb, it is not going anywhere.

Anyway, to relate this to marriage. Marriage is one of the rituals that separates homo sapiens from other species, and which gives us an advantage over them. Most other species are raised by their mother ONLY, while homo sapiens have adopted marriage as a way to nurture the child as best as possible. In prehistoric times, homo sapien women stood no chance of protecting their children, so 1. She stuck onto the child's father in her tribe for survival value. And he protected her and the tribe to ensure his genetic line continued. When women had sex and the man did not stick around, her fatherless children would slow her down during nomadic migrations and eventually she would be left behind to perish with her children.

So we see that marriage is basically an exchange of values, men's survival value for women's replication value. If you notice, it is usually men who want children with women which we deem to have good genetics (good looking etc...). This ensures their genetic line will prosper. Women by and large do not want children for the same reason. They want children in order to LOCK IN THE MAN. By having children with their husbands, they know they have locked in their medium of survival value. This is why women want to have children with men who have power or are able to sustain them, because it ensures their survival. I have seen many television shows with single mothers, and they are extremely unhappy. If they aren't on Maury trying to find the father in order to find what should have been their survival value, they are working two jobs trying to make ends meet. Ask them if they wish the child was never born, and they say things like 'she's my little miracle' etc... but deep down they know their lives would be better if they did not have the child. Octomom stated on Oprah she wished she never had any of her kids. If she had secured a man (ie the survival value), I'm sure she would not have said that.

Even in the institution of marriage, one in which we consider spiritual, we find it is still biology that controls it. And the most frightening thing is that nothing has changed in 50 000 years. Biology is still controlling us, even in ways we cannot comprehend.

For example, men may say that if their only purpose is to survive and replicate, then why do they also enjoy playing video games, or other fun activities. The answer is this: Fun activities are basically just triggers for dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters, and studies show that people with healthy doses of these live longer. So this is MEN's survival instinct. So yes, biology is controlling you yet again. When you think something is fun, it is merely your brain interpreting it as 'activity A = more serotonin = longer life'.

Even wonder why things make you sad? Same reason, your brain sees them as a threat to your happiness (and thus survival), and lowers your neurotransmitter levels so you feel bad and try to avoid the unhappy situations.

I have much more to say on the subject, but I'm assuming you sheep will come in here and try to refute me because you can't handle the truth. It doesn't matter if you're married. Just realize it's fake and you did it just to fulfill your biological imperative.

why do people still believe in god?

Because intelligent design makes infinitely more sense than believing that nothingness exploded and resulted in order.

[bodog wont help]

can anyone help me find the thread where the guy refers to himself as tony the teaser...too funny but i cant find it anymore

[Balco10]

It's overrated! It all most feel like a government contract! I am married and want out, but it will cost me 20k, so i'll think I'll suck it up and take one day at a time.

[Sawyer]

Why do people get married?

Because you don't have any other option! You have a relationship for years..what you will do? Will stay as "lover" forever? Families are another problem. Families want their daughter to get married. So people get married because we don't have any other option, lol.

Excellent post, masu. I like the way you think. I've been saying this for years, but some people just don't seem to get it, even down to the dopamine/serotonin part. The human brain is fascinating, and I enjoy trying to figure out why we do the things we do. I don't believe in free will because of this. Our choices that we make were already determined before we even consciously became aware of them.

Here's an example. Let's say you go to a restaurant with your wife. Let your wife pick the table, and which seat she takes. That one is strangely fascinating to me. Why does a person choose a certain table and a certain seat. It's not because they want to sit next to you, because you're just there with 1 person. So why that table; why that seat? It's a subconscious decision being made, but I'm still curious about the thought process that went on behind the scenes that caused us to "choose" that specific location.

I love asking why. It can be taken to very deep levels, and you reach a point where you can not answer the 'why?'. Little children do it all the time ("but why? but why though?"), and as adults, we can find it annoying. But I think it's a quality that we should replicate, and start asking why a bit more often. For instance, as the OP did. He asked why, and that's always a good thing.

Asking why is the best quality in the world. If parents actually listened to their children and tried to provide appropriate answers for them when they ask 'why', people would have much more knowledge. If a child were to ask the same question as the OP, the parent would most likely say either "to be happy and have kids", or "because we're supposed to"
