The divorce rate is 52%( vast majority filed by women) your risking 50% of your stuff plus possibly alimony and child support irregardless of the conduct of either party in the marriage.

I'd like to see your source for these statistics. And, get rid of "irregardless." It's a bastardization of "regardless," which is a perfectly acceptable English word.

Some people might think they've got the perfect woman but women tend to change radically around 35 their whole hormonal balance and biochemistry radically alters sorry nothing about marriage appeals to me but im about as cynical as they come.

Guess what? Men change too. They get to 40, and some of them decide that momma is bagging and sagging, and the little blonde tart at the office looks pretty good in comparison. Only, these goofballs are bagging and sagging too, and the blonde tart usually needs a daddy (sugar and otherwise). If she marries you, it ain't because you've been going to the gym every day.

I suggest when your head stops spinning, you'll recognize that it's worth going out on a limb for and with another human being.

And, it's the most fun you'll ever have in your life. You don't know joy until you've met someone around and with whom you can be yourself totally and not fear condemnation.

It takes work to get there, and there are ups and downs, but there is nothing else in life quite like being married to your best friend and lover.

I saw the 52% somewhere here on FR( I think somebody was comparing it to the much smaller divorce rate if you marry a girl from India) the 50% I know from my parents divorce 3 years ago.

You got that right! The problem with too many marraiges is that they are T/A formulated. There are people of both sexes who should never get married. Among them are the ones who wake up hung over in the morning wondering who the strange person is lying next to them .
