Anyway that guy went to the beach with another 20 something for the long weekend while my divorce is costing me pretty penny and not much action to show for it.

So maybe he was right all along...

Coming back to the point, yes I think I would never get married again. I can get a lot more action more easily when single.

ugh, your friend is gross.

We used to have long debates on this topic and I would argue against him on not treating women this way. Invariably it is he who dumps his GF's once past what he calls "Magic" phase which seems to be 1-2 years. He treats them exceptionally well from what I can see, home is decorated like it out of a magazine advertisement and a sob story for why he is not yet married.

He has been able to focus on his career, had more women, lots more sex and is in a pretty good shape financially. It looks like that might be the better approach. Marriage might indeed be for suckers.

The judgement and self-inflation inherent in the phrasing “marriage is for suckers” speaks for itself…. The merits of the idea can be debated, but from the phrasing it is clear the guy is/was insecure and it manifested itself in superiority or he would be able to express this thought in a less judge mental way.

My older brother (52 now) never married. He was the popular, insanely good-looking guy in high school and a player. He was a pro athlete for a short period of time post-college.

I am glad he never married. He would have made a horrible husband and would have left a wake of destruction in his aftermath.

My mom pressured him a lot to get married/have kids, but it was not something he wanted and would just tease her saying things like "Mom, my wife hasn't even been born yet." just to get a rise out of her .

He changed from a high powered lifestyle to living a bachelor life in NYC teaching. He does his own thing. He has had many 'girlfriends' over his lifetime--but I think fairly honest with him about never settling down.

I respect him for this.

Looks like this guy did what even the top 100 billionaires could not do: bang the most number of 20 somethings the most number of times. Larry Ellison might be closest but cannot think of anyone else. A life well lived.

He is a smart man. Not too late for you to adopt his wise approach!

Sounds like a lonely and shallow existence to me.

Keeping a spreadsheet... wow. Scary insight into an emotional broken transactional person.

Your brother is gay.

You guys are funny. He’s lived with women and banged 1,000s. Furthest thing from gay there is.

But, my sister and I joke that when a man reaches a certain age and never married society says “he’s gay”. If a woman does “she’s a cat woman”.

Society can’t handle people that don’t follow the prescribed script: marriage, kids, etc.

Women are the ones that suffer in this stations

He is 100% in the closet and you are ridiculously naive.

I know I will be once it finally happens. TBH, I see no advantage to dealing with men's needs anymore. I don't care about sex too much (but am attractive and fit and I am sure I could easily date and have sex occasionally if I wanted), and as far as the other stuff, no thanks. I need the companionship of my children, friends, and family. Living with a needy, volatile, low-empathy, self-obsessed, insulting man for 15 years, on top of all the obnoxious men I have dealt with in my career, has just turned me off to them for good.

He’s not following the Approved Female Script so he must be gay or something. 🙄
