      Fine to have v conservative views abt marriage & sex but I suspect calling women 'semen receptacles' reduces your chance of achieving either

      Views based on opinions are worthless, they pervert ppl's thinking & actions. Now we have assholes bullying & forcing their views on others.

      Well, they're how we decide how we want our own marriages to work. That is rather important.

      Decisions about marriage are best when based upon facts. Making life decisions using opinions or instinct are what serial abusers rely on.

      But when of those facts needs to be whether I love someone enough to want to spend the rest of life cohabiting with them.

          Emotion = fantasy trap. Gullible ppl are tricked everyday by convincing con-artists who trick ppl using fantasy. Use reason & facts instead.

          What facts and reason will tell me if I love someone enough to live with them? I'm financially independent so probably better to be alone.

          Haha, are you preoccupied or too busy to think? Emotional attraction evolved to inform us with whom to mate, not to make life decisions.

          But some of my life-decisions involve my emotional life. My marriage wld be part of my emotional life. I don't *need* a husband for anything

          All aspects of our life involve emotion, yet results of ppl using instinct/emotion for life choices can be found in a federal penitentiary.

          But how does this relate to deciding who you want to marry or whether you want to have children? Those are emotional choices now.

          I don't need a husband to provide for me or children to run my farm or care for me in my old age. I just want ppl I love in my life.

          Of course you do. Because humans are a social pair bonded species. Inform the Borg ;)
