And women wonder why men avoid commitment ...

Yeah, that puts it all into perspective.

The members of http://marriedguys.sportsjournalists.com have no idea why their souls were suddenly and mercilessly crushed.

As a single guy, I found that both funny and horrifying at the same time.
Yep, I'm staying single. [/talkinglikeIhaveanyotherchoice]

 

[The Big Ragu]

That made me laugh...

90 percent of the people I know are living that exact reality--stick figure drawing by stick figure drawing. The sad thing, though, is that the 10 percent of the rest of us have an even MORE depressing stick-figure story.

I went through that stage. Thank God, I saw the light.

"You will turn the basement into a rec room with a bar.
Sadly, this will be pointless because you will rarely see your friends any more."

 

[gretchd]

I think it's worth noting that this pattern is also horrifying to some single women.

 

[imjustagirl]

That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

 

[OTD]

That movie's totally false! I don't have a basement! Hah!

 

[imjustagirl]

And I would never have a treadmill.

Obviously a crock.

"You will turn the basement into a rec room with a bar.

My brother-in-law has a very nice basement and bar. It's where I stay when I visit the hometown. It's always free because he doesn't use it. And, sadly, I can't play bumper pool anymore. My niece's and nephew's toys are on the table.

I dated a gal for two years who was happy to be on this path.

Thankfully, I saw the light. Actually, I heard it.

After a night of drinking, she gets on the phone. I'm in another room but I still hear her end of the conversation: "I can raise a baby on my own. All I need to do is stop taking my pill."

I dumped her when we sobered up the next day.

Quite funny an amusing! Though we do travel the world and see and experience other cultures, our two kids in tow.

Thankfully there is no basement or a deck, but rather a nice patio.

 

[farmerjerome]

OMG, that is my relationship up to first house part! Down to the camping and timeline and everything.

However, I'm all for the basement -- we already have tons of bar-type stuff to put in it. The kids will have their own rooms to put their crap in. Plus THERE WILL BE A POOL!

Oh yeah, and Dr. J and I are still 'tarded for each other.

 

[zeke12]

That's really, really funny.

 

[NoOneLikesUs]

I'm in the process of starting a long-distance relationship and this film just scared the crap out of me.

 

[Pete Incaviglia]

I'm glad my wife is NOT one of those 90 percent.

I can't tell you how many of my friends have wives just as that cartoon depicted. And I can't tell you how many of my friends say "I wish my wife was as cool as yours."

I feel lucky.

And I feel sorry for my friends who are living that life.

 

[spaceman]

go ahead, kids, deny all you want.

BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

That was hilarious. I feel lucky that doesn't match my life (though being able to afford property would be nice).

I have a brother whose life that perfectly describes. He and his wife are completely uninteresting and live life just like that video: doing things they think they're suppoosed to be doing at each certain point in their lives, while also making sure to be as loud as possible about each development and openly question those who are not doing the exact same thing.

These are the type of people who have by-the-numbers, predictable weddings (you can practically recite the readings from memory if they're Catholic), buy a certain brand of small camcorder, recommended by their buddies, to record the birth of their children and name their kids after the grandparents, even if they have horrible names and the combination will cause the child to refuse to admit their middle name later in life.

Sports-wise, these are the yuppie types who can't wait to put their kids in T-Ball (where they will, of course, be one of the dads who coach), and listen to the club coach who starts telling them to "get that kid in club as soon as possible so they can get a scholarship!" And of course, daddy plays beer-league softball once a week - largely just to get the hell out of the house - and discusses the details of the game ad infinitum afterwards before slouching back home to the wife, who barely says hello because she has her eyes glued to Gray's Anatomy. Which, like all TV shows, they of course do not watch together, because they don't really like spending time with each other.

Wow. I think I extrapolated too much from that video. I'll send it out to a few people I know who won't get the point.

 

[Tom Petty]

i found a lotta humor in that.

 

[Pete Incaviglia]

Preg-tember is the best part about that video.
