Sell Me Marriage.

We have a deep (and a very deliberate) split on this issue on MRP. The /u/TheFamilyAlpha guys claim it CAN work, and they are correct.

Most guys like me agree it CAN work...but it is also true you CAN fall 100 stories from the World Trade Center and land safely on a puff of air. You CAN fall from a plane and land safely at terminal velocity. It might even be exciting to follow that path. It is just not recommended.

Some other guys swear by the Philippines/Eastern Europe thing where you get a nice, sweet 3rd world bride who you eagerly care for and sweetly love and who is forever grateful to be rescued from the hellhole that was her home. That apparently has a much better chance of working because you are likely to find a virgin (or whatever approximates virginity these days).

Some claim there are pockets of actual feminine women suitable for marriage in some strict churches in America (especially Latin Masses in the Catholic church and some extremely conservative denominations like Church of Christ or Southern Baptist) although the latter is nearly gone as a viable option as feminism continues to conquer the churches and complete it's Long March through all Western social institutions.

I think the BEST option today if you want a monogom-ish relationship is to have a small "wedding" ceremony. Invite her kids. Invite your kids. Have a party. Dance. Get up there in front of God and everybody and say the vows.....Then simply refuse to sign the marriage certificate. Don't file it with the State. Keep all of your property in your name. She keeps all of her property in her name. Keep 3 bank accounts. 1 for each of you and fund the 3rd just enough to pay the bills and expenses. Laws vary by State and this will completely protect you (financially) in some, not so much in others.

Thanks for the quality response. I'm reading FamilyAlpha stuff now. He's very... gungy. Or like a personal trainer. But I suspect he's right.

Raising my chances for success on a risky bet is exactly what I'm looking at. And I suppose I did want some free drinks and a buffet to entice me. Or a card counter. Anyway, I like this idea of doing the non-marriage marriage. My only concern threading the needle. The woman will want it and if she's traditional will be adamant. If she's just a shlub then she won't care of course. And she'll have a ton of kids to invite. Triangling the bank accounts is a solid safety tip as well. Good stuff.

he's a salty sailor, as am I. It's the culture of it.

Omg this is brilliant. Just refuse to sign. If only I had thought of that.

But I did think to set up three bank accounts and it works great to make sure bills get paid on time (via my actions) and we each can do whatever we want with the individual accounts. (No kids though and not having any.) I had to be careful not to put any flexible spending in the joint account or she'd be unable to keep track and I'd have to deal with delusional expectations. We have no debit card or checks for the joint account, all bills paid electronically and when she started to nag about why not have checks and debit cards etc... all I had to say was "we don't need them" and even she understood that.
