Mark11 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 It's mostly at work, all I hear is from other people is "my girlfriend this, my boyfriend that, yatta yatta, yatta, blah, blah, blah". That's all they talk about. I don't care, and their relationship biz isn't something they have to broadcast to everyone at work. It's also unprofessional. Anybody else have this experience?
thatone Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 you two are getting along great together, maybe you should try going gay.
PhillyDude Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah it gets very annoying hearing about someone's personal life at work. It's even more annoying when someone askes about my personal life which is usually a woman. Men don't talk about their personal life it's the woman who do it
Star Gazer Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Wow, work would be really boring and be missing camaraderie entirely if you ONLY talked about work all day. 1
Darren Taylor Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah it gets very annoying hearing about someone's personal life at work. It's even more annoying when someone askes about my personal life which is usually a woman. Men don't talk about their personal life it's the woman who do it I'm at the point where I refuse to discuss whether I'm single or not. If anyone asks(especially if it's at work), I just say that I don't share personal details.
Star Gazer Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Y'all should actually get hitched and then talk about it openly at work - particularly to your boss. Married men earn substantially more than their single counterparts.

Married men earn substantially more than their single counterparts. Between my new construction job, cutting hair, and part-time modeling, I make more than most married men.
Star Gazer Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Between my new construction job, cutting hair, and part-time modeling, I make more than most married men. And to think if you were married, you'd likely only need to work ONE job to make as much as you do now!
Darren Taylor Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 And to think if you were married, you'd likely only need to work ONE job to make as much as you do now! I could live comfortably on the construction job alone. I work the other two to meet people, network, and to stay out of the house because staying home is boring. Of course, the extra dough certainly doesn't hurt.

Darren Taylor Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7121199/Married-men-earn-more.html "It is show married men feel less satisfied with their financial situation as compared to their single counterparts. These results indicate that a lower level of pay satisfaction induce married men to put more effort into their work, which leads to higher wages." And despite earning more, married men are less satisfied with their situation.
Star Gazer Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 And despite earning more, married men are less satisfied with their FINANCIAL/PAY situation. There, fixed it for ya.
Darren Taylor Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 There, fixed it for ya. And it still doesn't favor married men. Single men are more satisfied with their pay. No incentive to get married.
anne1707 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 And it still doesn't favor married men. Single men are more satisfied with their pay. No incentive to get married. No incentive? How about living longer? http://www.abc.net.au/health/talkinghealth/factbuster/stories/2008/09/03/2354566.htm

Star Gazer Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 As long as I take care of myself, my life span is not going to differ much from someone that's married. I'm single, and even I know that's not true.
Darren Taylor Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I'm single, and even I know that's not true. How old are you? My aunt never married and lived to 88. My uncle is 51 and has no health issues. I don't believe these "surveys" anymore.
anne1707 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Men who are married are nine times more likely to die by suicide than men who have never been married too. Marriage is a total loser's proposition for a man. Look at the behavior of these women right here on this forum and that's enough to convince any rational man to never get involved too deeply with a woman personally (much less marry her lol). Have you got a link to support this as I understand single men have a higher suicide rate than married men http://family.jrank.org/pages/1659/Suicide-Marital-Status-Family.html

So what you see on here, which only has a couple thousand members is what you portray real life to be? No wonder you found this place.

Pyro Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I shall post some, just as soon as you post some "proof" that married guys live longer. I posted "proof" below for something else, and nobody paid it any attention, but just kept insulting me. I'm sure I could skew some data to "prove" that prison inmates lived longer than the people outside of prison if I wanted to get creative like the authors of your article. It wouldn't "prove" anything to anyone with a modicum of intelligence. Do married men live longer? No, they do not. Not that it matters. Marriage is a living hell for men. All my married friends and family members attest to that, not to mention the male victims of marriage on this forum... there are hundreds of pretty harrowing stories here, ya know? Watching the women here denigrate and debase their husbands, present and past, is educational too. Why would any man want this sort of chaos in his life? I don't have anything to prove. All I did was ask for proof of your beliefs. The fact that you are biased in the matter makes your opinions skewed. You obviously don't have an open mind about things so therefore there is no point in debating with you as you have already made up your mind about things. All my married friends are happy, so that makes your opinion no better or worse than mine. This is a forum for people who have relationship problems. More men are on here because more men are afraid to talk to anyone in real life about their issues so they come to an anonymous board. Women on the other hand are more comfortable talking to people in real life about their relationship issues.
