The thing is, even if you think you know her, do you really? The girl I referenced in my last post, the one who popped out Jamal's baby, it was a major red pulling eye opening moment for me. If she ended up being a whore, any woman can be one. It's like gambling. There are no sure things. All you can do is increase your odds of success as much as possible and then let the chips fall where they may. It's why I care so much about red flags. Tattoos or exotic piercings? Red flag Daddy issues or bad relationship with father? Red flag Single mom? Red flag Obsessed with social media and the validation that comes with it? Red flag Drug use(that includes weed)? Red flag Gets plastered when drinking? Red flag There are more of course but those are examples I know what you all will say. "If all those things are red flags to you, you will never find a woman!". That's fine. Nothing says I have to get married. My life will be awesome either way. Why roll the dice on something like marriave when the odds are not in your favor? I'd be better off putting half of my net worth on a hand of blackjack. I'd rather be single my whole life than settle for a woman with red flag(s).
This is great info and everyone should follow.
I just got out of a relationship and I miss her a lot. she was A LOT of fun but that's just it. it was fun for awhile but not sustainable long term.
She recently got a DWI and was completely out of it when it happened. Probably had to do the with Zanny bars she is always popping. It wasn't that big deal to me at the time but if we were married... That's me paying the insurance.. That's me picking up the slack if she loses her job. F that shite.

Too many men pedestalize women to the point where they ignore or rationalize the red flags.
It's one thing if you are just dating or having sex with a woman but if you want to LTR or marry her she needs to be held to a higher standard

She had almost every one of your red flags, but I didn't have any problem with it, because like I said....I'm not insecure.
I was going to break up with her because she was a legitimate nymphomaniac, and it was getting in the way of real life. She stabbed me with some darts, so I had an easy out.
No, I wouldn't have married her. She was cool. I knew her past. Our personalities matched well. That was that.
The girls those guys (and maybe you) aspire for are money/attention whores, and will leave at the drop of a hat

What are the pros and cons? My beautiful fiance (shared pictures yesterday) and I moved in together over a year ago and everything has been smooth. I've been told, however, that living together before marriage leads to a greater chance of divorce but that doesn't make sense logically. It seems like a divorce can happen irrespective of the living situation prior to the marriage. What say you? What was your situation like before marriage and how have things worked out?
From an old dude that was raised by the Good Book and all that implies.
If you don't live together first you are an absolute idiot. You can't even imagine how different people are until you live together. No one needs that kind of commitment error!

Passing on such women has nothing to do with me being insecure

Yeah then she ends up getting knocked up.
Ive gotten to the point its not even worth the random sex.
If I could afford it and do it legally I honestly would bang nothing but hookers that don't know my name

its ridiculous to think your life will be awesome without ever having a truly loving relationship with a beautiful woman. You seem very far from being capable of the type of passion it takes to make an amazing woman fall in love with you. Try reading some real literature instead of those self help books.

We lived together for three years before getting married. Been married for five years and still as happy as we were before.
Living together before marriage helps you to get to know each others habits and all better. You'll find out pretty quickly whether you can tolerate them long term and vice versa.
Cons? If you don't pick up after yourself, you will hear about it and this doesn't stop after marriage.

I agree. A woman the other day talking told me we should live together so she can find if it would be good or not. I told her we can find out now. We moving in together. I will post a picture first chance i get.

Doesn't matter if you do it or not.
People change as life changes.
Lean to adapt or move on.
That's your choices.
