Too bad I can't get a sex slave and for her to do all the chores.

If your rich anything is possible especially a sex slave that does chores

I get asked a lot by the girls if I am married, and when I say no, they all ask, "Why?" Like there is an expectation that everyone should be married by the time they are 30.

I might just print list this out and give it to them.

Now... can any of the married bros come up with a "101 reasons to be married" list? I think not...

It only helps to be single when you're rich.  Otherwise, you'll spend most of your money mongering that your bank is always empty.  hehe

DON'T SHOW THEM THE LIST. Don't tell them the truth about why you are single. Married blokes and maginas will secretly resent you, woman will only gets there backs up, even be openly hostile.

When someone asks why you are still single, the best thing to say is that you had your heart broken and you don't want to put yourself through that pain again. You'll get their sympathy and maybe some sex (from the woman), without them seeing you as a potential partner. Make sure you wear a condom though, if she falls pregnant, you'll be paying for it for the rest of your life.

I don't think so, even if true I would regard it as money well spent.

Marriage to a western woman + 2.4 children + divorce + lawyer costs + alimony + child support = perpetual poverty

Now who's going to come up with the big list of benefits for being married?

Let me start it off:

1. Someone will cook for you.
2. Someone will clean for you.
3. You get guaranteed sex every night for the rest of your life...

Come to think of it, #1 and #2 I can with a maid, and #3 just isn't true!

I should clarify that I am talking about WG's, and I think that no matter what the reason, when I let on I am single there is always a part of their brain that says "potential partner", at least in SE asia. Whatever reason I give doesn't matter that much.

Understood.

Still a good idea to leave the warning up for anyone else thinking along those lines. In this politically correct world, speaking openly about these issues only puts a bullseye on your forehead.

Another reason why the relative anonominity of forums such as this is so important.

Actually #3, if it was true, is a good reason not to get married. I can think of few things more depressing than having sex with the same woman every night for the rest of my life.

Well think of it in a pure economic sense. Average cost of a punt is around 400 RMB, over a year's time that's 254k RMB. Assuming I have 30 years left, that's a saving of RMB7.62 million. In that sense, marriage is well worth it!

In a western world, it's just one partner. After 4-6 years you get sick of the same partner. That's when you might start to cheat.

If you are a Muslim, you can have TWO WIVES.

When you monger, majority are with different girls that are young. This is even true 20 to 30 years later mongering.

Questions on mathematics 254K RMB / 400 per punt = 635 punts a year - ain't that a lot

but anyone on this forum who's already married are cheating
they also know that most of what's on that list is true ...
for those unmarried members they remember that list by heart !!!

Actually under the quran a muslim man is not restricted to a particular number, but if a man has more than one wife, he has to provide separate living accommodation for each of his wives. Also a man must divide his time equally among his wives. He may, for example, spend one night with each wife on a rotating schedule, but he can't enjoy more than one at a time in a threesome/foursome situation for example.

The reality is that if 1 wife is too many. 2 wives is 2x too many.

IIRC...many of the married bros have a good relationship with their wives. Punting only serves as a sexual outlet and nothing else.

Take care how you interpret #76. You could find yourself unknowingly tethered to your girlfriend in what the americans call a common law marriage and what we call here a de-facto relationship, particularly if there are children, so don't trust her when she says she's on the pill.
