marrying someone based on money, or social status.

[En_Route]

I will amend my grandmother's saying to say "The hardest way to get sex is to marry for it."  Seriously, anyone who would marry for the sex has obviously never been married.  

Other than my wife of course.

I never really understood what is so special about social status. I don't like wearing ties, I don't like cocktail parties and I don't I like any of that jazzy, crappy muzak that they love in these fancy social status circuits.

I'm very difficult to get to wear a tie - even for a work-related presentation. In most cases, I'd quit my job before agreeing to it. A wedding or a funeral that demanded a dress- or otherwise looks-code I dislike, I'd simply not attend.

With you on this one, but probably in a somewhat more extreme way.

My thoughts exactly !!!!

I don't understand ties.  Who decided that tying a piece of cloth around a man's neck made him look respectable?

Tie-wearing ultraconservative snobs..?

Just guessing...

It just seems bizarre to the point of comical.  I realize I shouldn't laugh because women are the queens of nonsensical fashion, but the idea of someone going "What this outfit really needs is a random piece of cloth hanging from the neck..." seems soooo silly.

I think pants make any man look good, LOL.

But social statua b.s is the worst. Someone can know a person for a year, get married and be more respected than a loving couple who has been together 6 years, and chose not to be married mutually.

I hate people who think just because someone doesn't want to get married, they are not commited to their spouse. Ugh..whatever.  

Or they have contests "for married couples only" . I find that very discriminating.

A scarf is ok in proper climate, but not everybody makes one look good.

I can't do scarves.  Or hats!  I've yet to ever find a hat that didn't look ridiculous on me.

My head is small and most adult hats are huge on me. ;;

I tried pants once and while I'm but a pudding, never quite a man, yet still I'm sure this sentence had a purpose when I started it.

I am ROLLING laughing.

Lol I don't mind ties at all. I actually like to wear them on occasions, such as school dances or anything else like that. And I also love to wear my old cap now and then

[Asmodean]

I tend to wear t-shirts, amply decorated with skulls, hoodies and a bunch of facial piercings. If someone disapproves, it's ther problem. I've yet to find myself in a situation where I actually need somebody who insists on me looking differently from what I do.
