    When I think of all my friends and acquaintances who have been married for a long time, I can name only two couples who are still happily in love. And with the exception of those two, the dozen or so people I know well enough to call really happy are all single and planning on staying that way.

    Personally I think permanent monogamy is a bit unnatural, considering our evolutionary pressures. True, we build societies to attempt to overcome those pressures (and have been for 10's of thousands of years, this isn't a recent thing) but it's always going to be there. It's why infidelity is so common. I too know a couple of guys who are well past the point you'd expect them to marry, are single, and happy to be so. They don't seem to genuinely feel like they're missing anything. I even know a couple of women who are the same way, well into their 40's.

    I think that the rule these days in the US of A for couples is a serial more-or-less monogamy, each ending with infidelity by at least one partner, followed by a period of relative promiscuity - or a tearful re-commitment

    Well society has pretty much defined "relationships" as families, i.e. child-bearing and -raising groupings. Sex is the glue that binds the man and woman together during the relatively unstable period before they have children. But I believe that most couples will tell you that sex becomes far less important to them, singly and together, when there are small kids to raise. Couples that choose to remain childless are an anomaly and (I believe) far more likely to split, sooner or later. Again, this is my observation based on my experience - your mileage may vary.

      I'm nobodies bitch.

      Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

            You are just saying that for your own benefit, otherwise you wouldn't flip out and start making death threats when someone hits a nerve.

              Even if you were intelligent enough to find their contact info, you would probably just make them concerned that Ravel was online talking to a little creep like you.

                      There is no wit involved with "you people". Lets see some wit nigger. I'm being vulgar as fuck, now its up to someone's nigger ass to demonstrate their wit and cleverness.

                              It would be so hilarious to watch you talk like that in person, but something tells me that quiet little Joshua couldn't work up the confidence if he wasn't safe behind his computer screen.

                                    I'm fearless.

                                    Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

                                      He is just crying out for attention. Funny how he seems to enjoy getting attention even if it is people using him for amusement.

                                        He doesn't see it that way. He's being funny, outrageous, original. He's using us for amusement. :doh:

                                          That is what he keeps telling himself, but I seriously doubt he is amused.
