Marriage for citizenship is valid

No I was more talking about marriage is not giving any benefits to women as you claimed to be but Undine proved you wrong 😜

If you can guarantee to walk away with 50% after marrying a wealthy man— Are you kidding me? Abso fucking lutely. The marriage still comes with all the negatives that they normally do, but it’s low risk for her. Too bad it’s the rare exception and not the rule

yo nano, i be honest u need to change location and get back to the city or near nature, money doesnt make u happy plus as a dev myself, i think coding is garbage because u becoming an angry femcell who hates man for wtv reason,

Speak for yourself. Money does buy happiness to a certain extent. Personally I am a lot happier with money than I am without money. Buying things make me happy. Travel makes me happy. Not having to check my bank account to make sure there is enough money makes me happy. And I don’t even code 😟
click to expand

Money makes me happy too. I think I'll take money over women anyday to be honest with you. Not that I'm a woman hater I just love my money more. Money and women come hand in hand. Women don't want no broke man. Dude must be don't like money or something. A username with a catchphrase like "FUCKTHISLIFE" might be pretty obvious he feel that way about money too..."FUCKTHISMONEY".

Of course I'm just saying. I'm not trying to instigate anything.
click to expand

I'm a middle class and i earn good money, but peace of mind is real happiness. doing a thread antimale while u earn good money, it's just pretty cringe and a cry for help, but its just my opinion. like u said i shouldnt instigate anything
“doing a thread antimale while u earn good money..”

What do those two things have to do with each other exactly?

You’re defaulting to the predicable “femcel” argument and saying I need dating coaching and calling me empty and this and that. But. You are wrong. You are way off with your assumptions. I’m quite literally in the best relationship I’ve been in for a long time so all of these things you are saying about me is not my reality

Read the post and read the thread. You said you didn’t read the thread, it was too long. Maybe do take the time to read it so you can know what you’re talking about.

click to expand
u def empty and im not interessed fr, but it's ok tho lol

You are interested because you’re still here, you’ve been in this thread more than almost anyone else.
click to expand

i'm not interessed by you and your life, its the other people i'm interessed. thats why my answer are short with u xd ?
click to expand



For someone who’s supposedly not interested in my life, you sure made a lot of assumptions about it. Which were wrong.

Only goofs weigh in on threads they don’t bother reading

For men, marriage has clear HEALTH BENEFITS, since married men live in average LONGER than unmarried ones! This is not the case for women.


For women, marriage may have financial benefits when there are children to raise, but only with men that are stable and responsible (aka have skills that guarantee a good income and future promotions, save money without being stingy, spend little on clothes and gadgets for themself, and have no costly hobbies or addictions).


For both, living together saves costs (bills and possibly taxes). Like Saturn, marriage may bring stability to those with impulsive tendencies, keeping them in place when they would otherwise run for the hills at the first hurdle.





Yea I didn’t even get into lifespan of married couples vs not, good point.



The financials of having a child(ren) makes total sense, and splitting cost within the marriage too. But what about when it ends? Marriage makes sense from a family perspective, but people desire children less now, and statistically it’s still going to likely end in divorce regardless.


I am a childless woman who is financially independent and doesn't care about traditions, religion, what other people think, etc. Yet I married twice (first time a few days after my college degree; second time, a few days ago).


Apart from finding love and a compatible man, I believe there has to be at least another good reason for a woman like me to get hitched!


First time, I wouldn't have gained permission to live and work in his country, if we just "lived together". When I eventually got a job, I earned more than him. Second time around, I married a man who earns more than me, has accumulated wealth and is now buying an expensive home (of my choice) mortgage-free. I couldn't have afforded such a home on my own, and being married makes gives me 50% ownership, without having spent a penny.

May I ask how marriage determines you get 50% ownership no matter what? Is it a law in the country? And if so, what country? Was there a prenup involved?
click to expand



No prenup. We are in the UK.

I checked and it says that "if you have been living in the property since the inception of your marriage, the property is legally yours even if your name is not on the title register. If you purchased the property after you were married, that property is generally considered to belong to both of you by law."

If the system does ever work out in the women's favor (very rare), who is to stop men from threatening and bullying behind the scenes to get their way?
what I see happening among local young moms (usually unmarried to the dad) is that they'd rather beg on GoFundMe than dare inconvenience the dad with a child support summons. that's why I'm glad to see anytime women take that risk of displeasing him and take him to court- I don't wanna pay for that kid, I have no sperm. my Pisces ex was never taken to court by his Taurus bm but he willingly gave her a $ 2.5k/month allowance in efforts to buy her love (not that much all the time, but a lot). then he'd complain to me about it and I figured he should just go through the court because they'd ask for less of him, but he likes being a martyr so win-win. their son is 20 now but she still gets that allowance. she's also 2 years older than him, unfaithful, a 6 and has Leo moon. I mean its maddening but slay

I think the Pisces ex was wildly generous. It’s basically unheard of that a man would support a woman this way consistently of his own volition outside of a legal system, even if she had his kids. How was he otherwise?
click to expand

Sexy, extreme conspiracy theorist, flat earther, anti-vaxxer, emotionally/sexually abusive tendencies (fairly mild on the physical end). He forced that Taurus to have 2 abortions when they were in their teens causing serious reproductive issues for her. Great worker and friend, but im sure many would call him a “bad guy”. Horrible temper but mines similar. Functioning substance abuser except his livers shot, along with his kidneys and prostate lol. I love his ass. But to further illustrate his abusive tendencies— his son won’t talk to him and hasn’t for 2+ years. He admitted to using physical force on his son as punishment. This Pisces has Pisces Mercury, Aqua Venus and Scorpio Mars. He hooks up with barely legals and besides me, the only other girl besides his bm who he was exclusive with was a disadvantaged Gemini 14 years younger than him


I really do love his ass but he’s a complex person


Wow

😯

Where’s his moon?

Either Aries or Pisces. I lean toward Aries. He doesn’t have his birth time nor would he tell me a general idea lol

I found out my double Pisces might actually be a Pisces/Aries moon đŸ˜© they don’t give birth times in Australia. And on the Aries cusp too. So you’re still involved with him??

Marriage is pretty good financially if you're on a median wage. Two people put their wage together and save some money + both have some inheritance they can get a mortgage faster and get into their own home, then they're both not paying rent they are paying mortgage. The value of their property is also increasing. Ofc you don't have to get married to do that, but this is what young married couples have done and some of them even own two houses now which is pretty slick. There's no way ether of those couples would own even one house by themselves. The advantage is getting onto the property ladder sooner and then you're golden and can easily get a mortgage on a second house.

This is a pretty normal thing. Its a financial advantage for both sides. It sucks the economy is rigged and an average wage can't do that on their own when they should be able to, but that's just reality.

How long were you with him?

He only officially “claims” me for a few days at a time before getting mad about something. But safe to say we would mutually count the year between June 2021-22 as being together, then 6 months in 2016. We almost bought a house together but it’s hard to answer that question since I’m his doormat and whether he loves me and wants a future with me or not depends on the day

You can split bills with a roommate/housemate too. Entering into a legally binding contract just so I can have a better deal on the internet bill seems outrageous lol.

I've heard that sometimes people like each other so much that they get feelings and want to be with them all the time. Idk though seems sus to me.

I answered this a bit more in a response to nano. Haven’t seen him in a year- I dated Cap in that time while he reconciled with Taurus, now caps left me and Taurus cheated on him and he has stated intentions to see me, but I think both of us are also trying to make those other failed relationships work. I’m just here waiting lol. But as long as I’m single if Pisces is too drunk to make it home and needs my house as a safe crash spot that’s always open to him

In the US, assets are not split 50/50 but split “equitably”, as decided by the court. Well we’ve all seen both sides how that can go. I see financial benefit during, but after is a wild card. And usually favors men because they like to put everything in their name, which becomes a determinant it seems. In all my dads marriages, it’s the one common factor. Houses, cars, all in his name. He ended up spending all his retirement on women, it’s gone. But in the divorces, he’s always in a much better spot. One of them ended up with no place to live and not even a car to drive to work

I hope the UK is less biased than courts in the US in determining “equitable” ownership. Not that I am saying you’re getting divorced! The loopholes for these kinds of things is just insane and usually boils down to who has the better lawyer to manipulate words and semantics of the laws.

Haven’t been for a year and haven’t even seen him in that much time. He says he wants to meet up but I probably have to wait for the Taurus woman to get on worse terms with him -.- it sucks being left on standby anyway bc then I try to develop connections with others, always a process man. As has been said in this thread, moneys better than partners. If it makes you feel better I’m sure we don’t attract the same type of people (x you are openly strong and confident to the degree that I imagine some similar impression is made in person. I give off “shy victim” and that’s why I get these specific fellas. Your Pisces is probably cool if you haven’t seen red flags yet

Yea I think you’re wasting time with this one. There’s too many red flags, but I get the appeal of complicated. I had one of those around for a couple years and it’s hard to let go of them. He didn’t treat me so well either.

You might be surprised to hear my guy is more traditional when it comes to these types of views. Like how did we ever manage to make this work? Lmao. I don’t think it’s even confidence so much as those rigid boundaries I described in your thread a few days ago. I took the opposite end of that trauma spectrum which has a lot of downsides itself

For men, marriage has clear HEALTH BENEFITS, since married men live in average LONGER than unmarried ones! This is not the case for women.

For women, marriage may have financial benefits when there are children to raise, but only with men that are stable and responsible (aka have skills that guarantee a good income and future promotions, save money without being stingy, spend little on clothes and gadgets for themself, and have no costly hobbies or addictions).

For both, living together saves costs (bills and possibly taxes). Like Saturn, marriage may bring stability to those with impulsive tendencies, keeping them in place when they would otherwise run for the hills at the first hurdle.


Yea I didn’t even get into lifespan of married couples vs not, good point.

The financials of having a child(ren) makes total sense, and splitting cost within the marriage too. But what about when it ends? Marriage makes sense from a family perspective, but people desire children less now, and statistically it’s still going to likely end in divorce regardless.

I am a childless woman who is financially independent and doesn't care about traditions, religion, what other people think, etc. Yet I married twice (first time a few days after my college degree; second time, a few days ago).

Apart from finding love and a compatible man, I believe there has to be at least another good reason for a woman like me to get hitched!

First time, I wouldn't have gained permission to live and work in his country, if we just "lived together". When I eventually got a job, I earned more than him. Second time around, I married a man who earns more than me, has accumulated wealth and is now buying an expensive home (of my choice) mortgage-free. I couldn't have afforded such a home on my own, and being married makes gives me 50% ownership, without having spent a penny.

Well I have thought about it too, how getting married makes it easier for some things, such as citizenship. Living and working in another country. From what I can tell though, many countries have visas for “high skilled workers” (I’m talking about Australia specifically) which would eliminate the need for marriage for those reasons. I don’t fully understand it or have researched it yet because I’m not ready for that right now. As a person who wants to move abroad and does date abroad as well, I have done my due diligence to see it as a possibility. It feels bad to marry for the citizenship but for many it is nearly impossible to obtain otherwise

That country made it difficult for Auslanders to come and work there. Even married to a local, there were plenty of hoops to jumps through! I eventually left for the UK.

Now that you mentioned Australia, I am a high skilled worker, unlike my ex husband. His dream was to live in Australia, and I could have easily got us there. He tried, but couldn't persuade me.

Perhaps he married me for a visa, lol?

Marriage is pretty good financially if you're on a median wage. Two people put their wage together and save some money + both have some inheritance they can get a mortgage faster and get into their own home, then they're both not paying rent they are paying mortgage. The value of their property is also increasing. Ofc you don't have to get married to do that, but this is what young married couples have done and some of them even own two houses now which is pretty slick. There's no way ether of those couples would own even one house by themselves. The advantage is getting onto the property ladder sooner and then you're golden and can easily get a mortgage on a second house.

This is a pretty normal thing. Its a financial advantage for both sides. It sucks the economy is rigged and an average wage can't do that on their own when they should be able to, but that's just reality.

Since I live in the poors country


I’ve never seen a woman in my building that didn’t live there with a man as the actual owner

yo nano, i be honest u need to change location and get back to the city or near nature, money doesnt make u happy plus as a dev myself, i think coding is garbage because u becoming an angry femcell who hates man for wtv reason,

Speak for yourself. Money does buy happiness to a certain extent. Personally I am a lot happier with money than I am without money. Buying things make me happy. Travel makes me happy. Not having to check my bank account to make sure there is enough money makes me happy. And I don’t even code 😟
click to expand
Money makes me happy too. I think I'll take money over women anyday to be honest with you. Not that I'm a woman hater I just love my money more. Money and women come hand in hand. Women don't want no broke man. Dude must be don't like money or something. A username with a catchphrase like "FUCKTHISLIFE" might be pretty obvious he feel that way about money too..."FUCKTHISMONEY".

Of course I'm just saying. I'm not trying to instigate anything.

I'm a middle class and i earn good money, but peace of mind is real happiness. doing a thread antimale while u earn good money, it's just pretty cringe and a cry for help, but its just my opinion. like u said i shouldnt instigate anything

Middle class and earn big money? Well damn. Let me hold something. You sound big time.

I haven’t seen such visas offered anywhere else before. It’s just a visa you apply for rather than a job sponsorship which I found interesting.

In the US, assets are not split 50/50 but split “equitably”, as decided by the court. Well we’ve all seen both sides how that can go. I see financial benefit during, but after is a wild card. And usually favors men because they like to put everything in their name, which becomes a determinant it seems. In all my dads marriages, it’s the one common factor. Houses, cars, all in his name.

I don't care about your dad.

Say you live in NZs biggest city, and got married in 2012 and bought a house that year with some small down payment like $ 45,000, you're a brick layer and a nurse both 22 years old and your house costs 450k. You get divorced 10 years later and its a clean split because pre nups. House sells for 1.3 million. You've already paid a 3rd of your mortgage off and you both get 650k, you pay the remaining mortgage off and move to another city to buy a cheaper house or buy a baller house and another mortgage. Or even better, you stay together because you've got a family and you still love each other and life's good you made it through your Saturn return, buy a 2 nice houses in another city, have tenants in one passive income, live in your own house. You could even get another mortgage and buy another house, maybe a batch and entirely pay it off with its own rent and it's rent from number 2. You have a bunch of time to raise the kids and mum quits nursing and focus's on the business side of the brick laying business while dad is running 3 crews of brick layers and you're turning over millions of dollars a year in that business now. This is what people do, all over the world. Brickys and nurses making bank together.

That was long time ago... My ultimate destination used to be the US, simply because I believed it offered better prospects for a career in science. UK was a close second, and I eventually moved there.

Nowadays, things have changed and several of my UK colleagues are moving to Australia! Perhaps I would have done it myself if I had little reason to remain in the UK. One last adventure for this triple mutable....sigh, I'm tempted!

click to expand

So that's why you see marriage as this like financial decision and not about love or anything mundane like that


I mean, it's supposed to be "US" not "ME"

Your whole approach is "what is the most beneficial thing for ME?" which is basically guaranteeing you end in divorce because you need trust, sacrifice and all these "together" things to make a marriage work longterm. As long as you are stuck in thinking "ME" then inevitably that will be the breakdown of the whole
click to expand



If you are my age and not thinking about the financial ramifications of marriage and divorce, and just thinking about it from a love and forever and lala land perspective, then you’re probably going to end up like one of the women I’m speaking about in the OP. Marriage being only about eternal love sounds really cute and all. For about 5 years or so.

I’m going to scope it out myself in October. The Pisces aussie is in Brisbane and thinks I’m in for a real treat. He’s come to the US multiple times now and he is not impressed at all 😆 which does not surprise me. I am really done here myself, I have seen enough of what the world has to offer outside this country.

Well I have thought about it too, how getting married makes it easier for some things, such as citizenship. Living and working in another country. From what I can tell though, many countries have visas for “high skilled workers” (I’m talking about Australia specifically) which would eliminate the need for marriage for those reasons. I don’t fully understand it or have researched it yet because I’m not ready for that right now. As a person who wants to move abroad and does date abroad as well, I have done my due diligence to see it as a possibility. It feels bad to marry for the citizenship but for many it is nearly impossible to obtain otherwise
That country made it difficult for Auslanders to come and work there. Even married to a local, there were plenty of hoops to jumps through! I eventually left for the UK.


Now that you mentioned Australia, I am a high skilled worker, unlike my ex husband. His dream was to live in Australia, and I could have easily got us there. He tried, but couldn't persuade me.


Perhaps he married me for a visa, lol?
I haven’t seen such visas offered anywhere else before. It’s just a visa you apply for rather than a job sponsorship which I found interesting.

Marriage is still probably easier, quicker, less expensive

What was it about Australia that didn’t appeal to you?

That was long time ago... My ultimate destination used to be the US, simply because I believed it offered better prospects for a career in science. UK was a close second, and I eventually moved there.

Nowadays, things have changed and several of my UK colleagues are moving to Australia! Perhaps I would have done it myself if I had little reason to remain in the UK. One last adventure for this triple mutable....sigh, I'm tempted!

I’m going to scope it out myself in October. The Pisces aussie is in Brisbane and thinks I’m in for a real treat. He’s come to the US multiple times now and he is not impressed at all 😆 which does not surprise me. I am really done here myself, I have seen enough of what the world has to offer outside this country.

You go, girl!

Good luck with the double Pisces too. Gemini-Pisces relationships are easygoing.

Marriage is pretty good financially if you're on a median wage. Two people put their wage together and save some money + both have some inheritance they can get a mortgage faster and get into their own home, then they're both not paying rent they are paying mortgage. The value of their property is also increasing. Ofc you don't have to get married to do that, but this is what young married couples have done and some of them even own two houses now which is pretty slick. There's no way ether of those couples would own even one house by themselves. The advantage is getting onto the property ladder sooner and then you're golden and can easily get a mortgage on a second house.

This is a pretty normal thing. Its a financial advantage for both sides. It sucks the economy is rigged and an average wage can't do that on their own when they should be able to, but that's just reality.

In the US, assets are not split 50/50 but split “equitably”, as decided by the court. Well we’ve all seen both sides how that can go. I see financial benefit during, but after is a wild card. And usually favors men because they like to put everything in their name, which becomes a determinant it seems. In all my dads marriages, it’s the one common factor. Houses, cars, all in his name. He ended up spending all his retirement on women, it’s gone. But in the divorces, he’s always in a much better spot. One of them ended up with no place to live and not even a car to drive to work



click to expand
So that's why you see marriage as this like financial decision and not about love or anything mundane like that

I mean, it's supposed to be "US" not "ME"

Your whole approach is "what is the most beneficial thing for ME?" which is basically guaranteeing you end in divorce because you need trust, sacrifice and all these "together" things to make a marriage work longterm. As long as you are stuck in thinking "ME" then inevitably that will be the breakdown of the whole

If you are my age and not thinking about the financial ramifications of marriage and divorce, and just thinking about it from a love and forever and lala land perspective, then you’re probably going to end up like one of the women I’m speaking about in the OP. Marriage being only about eternal love sounds really cute and all. For about 5 years or so.
click to expand

Ha but then its a self-fulfilling prophecy. Marriage can end in divorce but if you go into it with this mindset it's like you're never fully committed. In which case no, there is no point getting married

Realism over idealism

I haven’t decided if I will or not. I always want to have human experiences while minimizing risk

It’s just a more committed long term relationship.

The same reason a person wants a boyfriend/ girlfriend can be transferred to the idea of marriage.

Divorce has become pretty common now so I don’t think people think it’s for a lifetime anymore. Marriages nowadays rarely last past 10 years.

I laughed at marriage and the benefit of a man getting sex, isn’t that the number one thing married men complain about? Not getting it once they get married?

I think marriage benefits both parties financially, it’s just easier sharing the costs of life.

I personally like the idea of being with one person and having them as a partner and best friend. Switching people all the time and getting to know a person all over again gets old quickly for me. So marriage to me just means we are making a commitment to try and do life together.
“I laughed at marriage and the benefit of a man getting sex, isn’t that the number one thing married men complain about? Not getting it once they get married”?



So did I, don’t get married if you want a psssionate sex life lol



That’s what lovers are for 😃

I think that’s the problem in marriage, cheating, so they need to be having sex instead of holding out.

For some people, having sex with the same person year after year after year doesn’t hold much appeal

click to expand

I’m wondering if things change after a certain age. I heard that sex isn’t that important once a man can’t get it up anymore in the later years, then the relationship falls more on companionship. So I guess getting married later in life is a better fit 😅

Not really, because women get hornier as they grow older. I do. So dealing with a wet noodle isn't fun.

Marriage is a much better deal for men than women. Married men live longer than single men but single women live longer than married women. Marriage and children literally kill women earlier in life.

die alone then
click to expand



I have a friend whose parents both died alone. They had 11 kids and were divorced at the end of life.

I visited my aunt every week in a retirement home. I made friends with a lot of the residents who had children. Most of them rarely saw their children or received visits from them. Having kids so you don't die alone is a poor excuse to bring children into this world and is very selfish.

Lol wtf are you talking about, women these days can't take care of a home for shit.

I've seen more single men have tidier homes than single women.

Men cook elaborate meals, women can barely boil an egg or simply have "no interest in cooking".

Men take care of themselves physically even after entering a relationship, women fall apart on an average within 8 months.

Lol @ "emotional fulfillment they do not get elsewhere" . You are delusional. All men really need these days are their bros and a Saturday night hookup.

Yes, generalizations, but this has been my experience as a 21th century male with friends of both sexes. Maybe says more about my social circle than men/women, I dunno.

I don’t think men get emotional fulfillment from their bros or Saturday night hookups. Social and sexual fulfillment yes, they are not the same. Men get lonely just as much or more than women do. In society where men are expected to not talk much about their feelings, they often times only do that with a S.O, or a female platonic friend. The latter I think I’ve seen you say in the past was not possible? You got all over me for saying I had a platonic male friend once.
click to expand

You are projecting a woman's definition of "emotional fullfilment". Men are told they ultimately need a woman but aside from babymaking, all the single & mingle guys I know are perfectly happy with the emotional fullfilment from their male friends and sexually hooking up with women. Usually leaving your emotional fullfilment to women is a headache in itself.


Also married life does not guarantee a healthy sex life. Another point to strike off your list.

I don’t know, enfant. While I am sure some men are happy with the bachelor life style 
 these men eventually do settle down into marriage. I know so many lonely men who seem to think romantic companionship is the solution for them
click to expand



To incels it is the solution because they go half their lives unfucked and unwanted so it becomes like the holy grail. "If someone would only fuck me that would solve all my problems!"

I'm willing to bet if you give the same man a lucky streak of 2 years with unlimited supply of attention from women they'd come to the conclusion - if they have a personality - that it's overrated and there are more important and interesting things in life than just the attention of the opposite sex.

As for your 2nd point.. absolutely, men settle down too! Men settle down harder than women. Women will announce you're the love of their life, then change their mind after a few years bc suddenly they are "unhappy" or "unfulfilled". Change is generally a female trait. Or flaw.

Men don't really have those episodes, have you noticed? If men settle down we do it exactly as advertised. We don't change our minds or hearts. Usually the wife will try to change the man she married and when he stays the man he's always been, she will announce she's "unhappy" lol.

Men however don't look for you to make us happy, that's a typically female delusion: "If only I find the right one, I will find happiness!" Failing to realize you'd have to be happy with yourself to begin with.

Granted there are those men - like you said - whose only aspiration in life is having a family and that's his only source of happiness and without it he's no one. I find them weird tbh and don't understand how their wives work up enough vaginal secrete to fuck them.

There's plenty of studies that say married women live longer. There's articles that say single women live longer...

its make no fuckin sense since most of the time guys date younger.
so the argument is ? i want to whole life solo because there is a ramndom stat from a random website say my husband might die 5 years before i die.

I found a study done in Japan that single women in Asia live longer. And the rest in the West say married women live longer.

There's plenty of studies that say married women live longer. There's articles that say single women live longer...

its make no fuckin sense since most of the time guys date younger.

so the argument is ? i want to whole life solo because there is a ramndom stat from a random website say my husband might die 5 years before i die.

ok then die alone

I found a study done in Japan that single women in Asia live longer. And the rest in the West say married women live longer.

Who is even married that long though. Most people aren't, so how do you get the stats.
