to be clear though i was not talking about hedonism ... i said it clearly - its about risk/reward.
a marriage is more a business relationship for the rearing of healthy societies and children , as opposed to a "female companionship" sentimentalist rag , whatever the hell that emasculated stuff is ...
western women are, mostly, no longer feminine, and nearly all of them have been infected by a century of feminist ideology - and yes there are exceptions but they simply prove the rule.
gamble away if it suits you...
