Honestly, a ring for some women is just a bonus challenge.

Come on, just read the confessions thread.

I think I get jealous of Ken's computer and TWW. He is fixing this shit squat and that is where he spends quite a few of his nights during the week.

If you love this place, a thank you pm to him might be nice.

How bout we thank you for not being a nagging wife, too?

But when you get married, you aren't part of the single guy team anymore.

Married guys can't just go do single guy stuff anymore. When part of a group going to AC for example, they need other married guys also in the group so they can go do married guy stuff while the single guys are hunting poon.

I'm not married, but I don't get the whole "take the ring off" thing. I figure I'll probably wear mine all the time. Why would my friends give a shit about my ring? Why would I take it off unless I was looking to cheat?

BTW - If I ever get married, my wedding band is going to be kick-ass. Graphite w/ inlaid flaming skulls and mud-flap chicks.

just wanna throw something out there with the texting girlfriends on guys night

while some girls are crazy texters... sometimes its the guy initiating the texts and furthermore, responding

its one thing to text and ask a legit question but end the conversation there. if the guys are responding to the texts, they're just perpetuating their own problem and its hard to feel sorry for them.

there is always another side to the coin and girls always get the bad rap. some girls deserve it but guys also hide behind "the crazy" gf a lot more than they lead on

^3 One of my best friends used to date a guy who would literally text her ALL. THE. TIME. And by all the time I mean we went out for dinner one night and within that hour span I think she had more than 10 texts. He was freaking out because she didn't respond.


Granted, he was a psychopath...

I dated one of these guys. If I didn't pick up the phone when he called or immediately respond to a text (god forbid I'm at the gym or in a meeting or busy with a client), he would FREAK OUT.

Some people are just really insecure and selfish and expect attention 24/7. Try to avoid dating these people.

my best friend is married

he usually just does whatever and gets in trouble for it later...like coming to get me to go to the gym at 10 am on a saturday and instead drinking until about 9 on a day when his wife had asked him specifically to "not bail on [her] all day long"

she had only asked that because it had happened the previous 2 weekends

I think the point about taking the ring off is that it is sort of bonding. It's kind of like how at the bachelor party there should be something(s) that everyone has to lie about to the bride. Sure it's awesome if the wife is cool with titty bars/drugs/murder but the point is to do something for his friends that proves his allegiance because everyone knows where his allegiance lies the other 99.9% of the time. A ring is symbolic, wearing it or not isn't going to have any effect on who the person is or how they act. I'm married btw and my wife would probably flip if I went on a guy trip and didn't wear my ring (and she found out). I'd trust my friends not to tell her if they insisted I take my ring off because they are just that, my friends..

2/4/2010 11:17:42 AM

The taking off the ring thing is fucking stupid, by the way, and you must be out of your mind to expect your married friends to take off their rings

Yeah, I'm not totally sure on this. I feel like it probably has something to do with different hormones. It's nature vs. nurture, but I have a hard time believing that women are more emotional and less funny for purely cultural reasons.

In any case, every single guy knows that many of the things said in this thread are true. Relationships/marriages siphon the life out of men that were previously fun to hang out with. The process where that happens is a mysterious one. There are exceptions, but most girls are not fun to hang out with. Men will, however, laugh at your stupid jokes if there's a possibility of hooking up.

2/4/2010 11:19:12 AM

taking off your ring is just asking for trouble

(ie, losing the damn thing)

The strip club thing to me is a problem because of the money, and it definitely goes both ways.

If both parties are irresponsible with money or financially well-to-do, then no biggie.

But if one party is more wasteful than the other, it can create a problem.

Like, I can't imagine being married with children, following budgets and shit, and then have a dude just run off and blow hundreds of dollars in a night or two. It's bad enough if he's running up hundred dollar bar tabs on drinks with the boys, but to know that he just handed that money over to some woman who plied him with alcohol and bare breasts? And there's rarely an equivalent for women...strip clubs don't do male revues that often...I wonder how guys would feel if we just went down to a college campus, found some boys, and started throwing money at them to swing their dicks around...and then served tomato soup for two weeks because we blew our grocery budget on young cock.

the WORST for me is when a conversation goes like this:

ME: hey man, what are you doing tonight?

HIM: nothing much

ME: you wanna meet me at the bar?

HIM: sure, we'll be there in a minute

i have female friends i don't sleep with who i don't have any designs on. so this is not it, but you're welcome to pretend I'm some huge pig if you'd like

It's moreso the presence of a person that's going to end the night early, say a bunch of unfunny things, get offended a lot, and generally ruin the dynamic

2/4/2010 11:34:10 AM

look, danger

I will never be a cougar. I like older men.

Your best bet is to wait ten years and then get in a time machine and go back to 2006 and holla at a sista.

I'm not hating on strippers or any woman who manages to make money off her boobies/her "companionship."

Let's also be clear that men get money for being companions, too. Women have been quietly supporting their invariably unemployed husbands/boyfriends for decades, and if you look at rates of college enrollment and employment, I suspect conditions will only get worse for some men.
