Do you plan on getting married one day or stay a bachelor?



The answer is easy: as soon as a girl comes along that a) is understanding of his chosen career, and more importantly b) can offer even a SINGLE benefit HE would receive in getting married that he wouldn't already get by sticking with dating or god forbid living together, then maybe he'd consider it.

As long as marriage boils down to forming a contractual partnership/corporation with another person at least in the eyes of the state, and given that time is the one finite resource we can't regenerate like money, then the more efficient use of time would be bypassing the pomp, ceremony and "playing house" of years of marriage altogether and shortcutting to the finish line: a man can just liquidate all his assets, withdraw half the value as cash and arrange it all in a nice big pile, then douse it with lighter fluid and throw a match. In those 5 or 10 minutes of burn time he's achieved the net sum of what most marriages these days take years to achieve to same effect.

With all that saved time, he'll be able to embrace other more optimistic and energetic females - time that might have otherwise been displaced with years of arguments.

Case in point, has a contract girl ever existed that worked anywhere near as hard as the non-contract girl fresh out of the gate?

A lot of women recoil at that stance on the social stygma called marriage, since it shatters the white dress disney fairy tale thoughts they grew up with; I prefer to call it pragmatic - saying no to marriage saves BOTH peoples' time.
