the "im better than you, bc i like x team" is bs btw
Did I say that or convey that message? I sure hope not. I said I was a fan of the Mariners for goodness sakes, that's about as low as you can go right now.
Benefits of being married: Hmmm, I am actually really glad you posted that because it gives me an opportunity to cherish my wife, rather than to just think about her.
Number 1 benefit is also the number 1 pitfall. Monogamy (sp). While its nice to poke whoever you want, I actually enjoy not worrying about whether my d*ck will fall off. I enjoyed drunken single sex, I just was extremely risky about it. I don't have that worry now.
Unjudged Companionship. My wife knows who I am, and I know her. When dating you are constantly NOT being yourself fully. Its nice to know if I drop a bomb in a grocery store I can laugh instead of being embarassed.
This should have been 1st, but LOVE. I didn't have a bad home life necessarily, but we didn't go around saying we love each other either. Its a truly amazing feeling to have someone actively, wholeheartedly, care about you. I always tried to really show girls how I felt about them, but when one returns the favor (in non-sexual ways) it dang near floored me. Love is powerful, when its right.
NO MORE BAR SCENE. I have always hated bars. They have their place, but I was sick of trying to pick up chicks there. Now I can just watch the game or chill with my buddies, without having to ALSO be trying to score. It really is better.
I could go on and on, but it just makes me look less manly.
One thing I can assure you: If you find the right woman, its worth it. By MILES!!
I'd be glad to clarify any statement that may be unclear or gay sounding.
