oceangrl Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 This question is kinda for the guys i guess.....would you want to get married to get your girl "off the market" in the dating world? Kinda like marking your territory so that other guys see a ring on her finger and refrain from pursuing her? Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I don't think too many men get married for this reason. If I didn't love a woman why would I care if she is off the market or not. Link to post Share on other sites

Author oceangrl Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I don't think too many men get married for this reason. If I didn't love a woman why would I care if she is off the market or not. What if you did love her, and she was attractive, would you want to put ring on her finger before someone else does? a lot of men actually target married women because they can have unattached relationships with them. so a ring will not discourage the guys who men should worry about. Yeah, true....i guess you really have to trust a girl with those type of men. Thanks guys, i appreciate your input! Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 If I did love her then yes I might want to put a ring on her finger but it is not some competition with other men. Like eclipse said a ring does not insure that a woman would be faithful anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Enema Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I don't think it's a very common reason at all. I got married to shut her parents up (and maybe her, though she won't admit it). I think marriage is a crock. Link to post Share on other sites
Lauriebell82 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I don't know about that, I think (hope) men would want to get married because they love their girlfriend. I guess if the guy was insecure about the relationship and wanted to make sure she wouldn't go out with anyone else, then yeah maybe. To agree with what Eclipse said, a ring does not ensure that a partner will be faithful. Link to post Share on other sites
Vegas777 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I won't lie, its crossed my mind. My girlfriend is super attractive, confident, intelligent and just about the complete package. It kills me to think about her with another guy. Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda like marking your territory so that other guys see a ring on her finger and refrain from pursuing her? It would be my feeling that of all the possible reasons in the world for getting married, the above would be about the goofiest. I can't imagine going through life with a woman simply because I wanted to "take her off the market." That is so bizarre! BTW, I usually mark my territory by pissing on something.

carhill Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 IME, it's a pretty common practice of territorial males to inseminate (have orgasmic sex with) their females to mark their territory. The more insecure the man, the more likely he is to do this. It imprints his male dominance into the female mind as well as affects her body chemistry so she smells different and less "available" to other males. Pretty primitive stuff but it's still around. I've seen (and smelled) it happen with some female friends whose SO's/BF's found me to be a threat, even though I wasn't. If there was a least important and most unlikely reason for me to marry, the OP would be it Link to post Share on other sites
