His Point of View

I am a single guy, but I have a number of married friends near my age and I realized that a lot of them don’t really much about their married life, more specifically how they feel about being married. We all know the most popular (stereotypical) complaints about what married men don’t like and its usually that the woman changed (and/or wants him to change), she provides less sex, she nags about too many things, she let herself go physically, etc… but there has to be more to getting married than that. I mean come on guys tell the whole story, how do you feel about being married?

First thing’s first  let us know your age, her age, how long you were together before getting married, and how long you have been married, then share your story.

How does it make you feel to say that you have a wife?

How has having a wife changed your life?

How has having a wife made you a better man(if you think it has)?

Has being married made your life better or worse overall? and why?

What would you do differently if you could?

What is the part of married life that makes you smile when you are all alone thinking about your lifestyle now?

Would you remarry the same woman again if you could go back to when you were single, knowing what you know now? If not would you get married ever again period?

Don’t be limited by my questions I share with myself and all the other people here who can learn from what you are going through. There are the obvious questions that I avoided such as ” did you marry her because she was pregnant?” because I think those types of questions might not get a truthful answer due to fear that she might come across this article…LoL

I ask that you all really forward the link to this article and post it on your Facebook page, re-tweet it, I want a large audience to reply and to read this one.  I have never asked this before but I think we can all learn something if the response to this one is good. Ladies, if this goes over well of course I’ll give you a chance to share your stories as well, just stay tuned.

“Women depreciate and men appreciate”

That was a statement made today during a discussion on the finer points of dating. I took the statement to mean that women typically are attracted more by a man’s level of success and ability to provide for a woman/family. While men are typically attracted to a woman’s physical appearance. Therefore young women have more good looks to offer, and as they age their looks diminish…while younger men have less ability to provide for a woman, but as we age we (should) have more to offer a woman therefore older men are more attractive to women.

This statement seems to hold a lot of weight for several reasons. Perhaps this contributes to the frustration some older single ladies have…Perhaps this contributes to the high number of young ladies dating older men…Perhaps this is why women begin to lower their standards as they age (although in many cases lowering standards is what should have been done long ago if the woman’s expectations are not in line with what she has to offer a potential mate)…Perhaps you have something to say about this statement… Please feel free to comment below.
