name a scam so prevalent we have forgotten it is one

I'll go first: marriage, when it is for the sake of a) the cessation of loneliness, b) having children as accessories, c) getting the house you couldn't afford alone, d) serving a man hand and foot because it is your sole role and ultimate purpose as a woman. e) buying your woman everything because you are solely a "provider" with a to-do list.

Or F) massive sex 4x a day until you're married, then immediately stopping but presenting a long demand list only to divorce him later and take half of what he has.

@Livingwell yes!!!! i am a christian, so i guess im supposed to believe in no sex till marriage. but there is a HUGE something to be said for having to work for it. we wonder why men cheat..it is bc marriage is a largely disney princess fantasy for the girl..and a built-in slave for the guy.

@foldedunfolding Having been married a few times, I can say there are few if any slaves. Lots of pushy women. People with low self esteem are easy targets though for abusive men. I've personally helped several women escape an abusive man. It all starts with family isolation and jealousy.

As for working for it, I say that a man must prove his worth to a woman to receive that special gift. As for why men cheat, it could be because of menopause, other interests of the wife, lack of attention, a power play by the wife, and receiving attention not received at home. Relationships are hard and require work. The "love is all you need" is a fools dream. Like anything, you get out what you put in. That goes for both sides.
