are so gullible to allow themselves to be the victims of "marriage trapping"?

arent woman some what the same way

define marriage trapping

guys are just misled down the wrong road

yes but I can't speak for women as I am male

cause we get tired of the woman hinting they want to get married so we foolishly break down and ask the question.

cuz they think with their wedding tackle, that's why. i call it "p#ssy stupidity"- they're gettin' it (nightly, in some cases), which results in a distinct lack of blood going to the brain. when the marriage thing is brought up, common sense goes out the window and the fella will foolishly reply "why yes... yes i DO wanna get married!...". the result? the fool is walking down the aisle some several months later with a shotgun firmly pointed at his back.

the trap has therefore been set.

it defines itself, to be trapped into a marriage

I think, for me, it was a response to the almost entirely-subliminal pressure to conform with the "norm" -- i.e., there's a kind of expectation that a "normal" guy will get married, have kids, blah blah blah --

Going into the marriage, I had all kinds of qualms and bad feelings about it, but I pushed them aside, thinking "Maybe this is exactly what I need, to settle down, to be more stable" -- this after years of frivolous, short-term fun flings....

Well, I learned -- you do something stupid, you pay for it, eventually -- and I would never do it again. If anything, the experience taught me how totally unsuited I am for any sort of traditional relationship arrangement....

Because we let the little head make the decision.

she asked me...i said yes

Hi is that true because that happened to me and the guy backed out after 4 years and now is marrying a ugh girkl

Not true for everyone, nothing is.

Man, I was married 26 years but I never asked her to marry me

so i guess me asking any of you to marry me is out of the ?????

I will never make that mistake again

I know a couple that decided they were married after the insurance company told them they'd get a discount on their car insurance.

oh gawd i have the real challenge.... my bf never has been married... and hes 43

i say after 4 1/2 yrs and 18 months apart... and its still there for some ungawdly reason... he best be trapped soon

For the same reason we start buying our fish, instead of going fishing
