i feel sorry for the newer generations who get caught up in them even though they know there are alternatives.  i guess in shithole parts of the world you dont really need to be in love, its more about passing the name on and surviving  :-\

they have a WAY lower divorce rate than regular marriage. Why, becaus they are forced, and there is no way out. Still, way lower divorce rate, should make CWalker happy.

Only people from backwards cultures like the Middle East and India would do something like that.

Whatever works.  I'm not down w/forced marriages.

CWalker look up the definition of culture.


I've gotten a lot of offers from fathers/mothers that want to hook me up with their daughters but it's a mutual arrangement.

And I would have to (in a perfect world) get approval from all my relatives back home  :laugh:

I live in San Diego but I'm from Eritrea  http://stevesgallery.com/files/Middle-East-map.gif  and my parents are Christian ;D and don't get it twisted in our culture the girl can have her mother/relatives ask around for certain individuals and then have permission to date  :) morning after the date they ask if you're getting married  ;D

theres these 2 guys at work, one is 26 one is 33, both of pakistan descent

the one who is 26 is married and has 2/3 kids

33 is married and has 3 kids

both nice guys, but i know people who are the white equivilant of these guys and arent married or anything

when i got speaking to them about their wives etc they both gave the same response about how they met

"we met at college, it wasnt arranged"

i could tell they were lying like they were ashamed of that stuff, kinda sad really

the one whos 26 isnt ready for kids and he has 2, he was telling me how hes going on holiday with his 3 cousins and leaving his family at home

the other one is good and ready for kids, hes a really down to earth guy, and u can tell he looks after his family

Wat d'ya mean by Business?

why do people get divorce? why is  marriage divorce all time high?
when they leave the guy, she gets half of what he makes.  Especially when they have kids.
couples tend to cheat too.  THe longer the marriage...the longer they gotta give money to these bitches. ya know what i mean?
i forget what it's called,...but people have to do that when they in marriage.
