John Galt, I'm not even getting into this with you any more because you seem to have a terminal disposition to skim-reading posts and then launching into counterpoints for points that never existed in the first place. For example:
Quote:Quote:
You don't think it's fucked up to tell a woman you love her and want an LTR when you know in your head that you would never marry her or want kids?
Say what?
If you are inferring that cohabiting with a woman is an unspoken contract regarding future marriage then you might want to take it over to the white knight thread. Women benefit far more from cohabitation than men so they're not being robbed of anything, and if they choose to go into a denial bubble about the endgame then that's their own fault.
The specific quote of mine you posted was not a counterpoint or rebuttal it was simply a question.
Also, I never said that cohabitation was an unspoken contract for future marriage. I said that entering into an LTR with a girl (referring to her as your girlfriend and allowing her to refer to you as her boyfriend) is an unspoken contract that you are at least considering committing to her long term. If you enter into an LTR knowing full well that you will eventually dump the girl, I think that is a bit of a dick move (assuming this is a nice, non-slutty girl we're talking about.
By the way, this is why we have the institution of marriage in the first place. It was assumed that a man who privately promised a woman love and commitment could not be trusted. That is why we have a public marriage ceremony with witnesses. That way, if the guy tries to leave and claims he never promised the girl anything, there are many witnesses proving him wrong, and the girl's father and brothers can go beat the shit out of the guy.
If you think I'm "skim-reading" and missing the point to what you're saying, please point out at least one instance in which I did that. Don't use the same quote of mine you posted above, because I just told you that was not a rebuttal to anything you said, it was just a question I was asking you.
Also, I understand if you don't want to continue this argument/debate, but saying "I'm not going to get into this with you because you're so (whatever)..." is a common leftist tactic to avoid actually having to rebut someone's arguments.
