Protip: Don't even think about planning a wedding when your fiancée is studying for the bar exam. Worst. Timing. Ever.

When my partner is ok with me sleeping around, spending my money how I want, letting me watch sports all the time, not going to family events with her, and so on. Basically when being married has all of the benefits of being single.

When hell freezes over I might consider it again. Short of Universal Armageddon, nothing comes to mind. It took me a long time to get my head on straight after my last marriage. I like being sane and calm.

I do not plan to get married, it's not at all on my daily radar.

That's not to say I refuse to get married; if I meet a woman that I think I'll still want to be with in 60 years, I'm open to the idea.

Maybe there should be a separate thread for us divorced guys. When seem to have a biased opinion.

Just curious... what are you waiting for? when do you plan to get married?

I'm not anti-marriage, but I also don't see any reason for me to get hitched right now. I have no real desire to have kids which is really the only thing that would absolutely make me want to get married. My current girlfriend seems like she has real long-term potential, but we only met this past February so why rush?

I also recently bought my first house, and let me tell you I LOVED the fact that I didn't have to compromise or negotiate with another person on what I was looking for. Location, house size, features, etc were all what I wanted.

I thought we had a Love & Relationship forum.
And I also thought this question was answered in a thread there recently.

it's like any other investment. you have to decide if you can afford/tolerate the down side.

This.

I am not looking for it, nor am I completely against it. I have not found a good reason to yet, and until I do I don't see the point. I see many more negatives to marriage than positives, but that's not to say I won't do it. There are a few things for me personally that have to happen before marriage is even an option though (like graduating college, a steady job, etc).

Not planning to get married necessarily, but if I did, it would be with a woman I've dated for a few years, lived with and am sexually compatible with. We would both need to be out of full-time school and working.

Also, I would look to see whether her parents are married or divorced...if it's the latter, I would think twice.

I'm looking for a woman that is young and pretty with a good personality ... and incredibly rich.
