Sometimes, the 'nicer' ladies, in order to have mercy on the rich guy, prefer to be mistresses. That way, there won't be any talk of alimony.




yes, they "prefer " to be mistresses, not that the man put them there.

in any case, stop lying.

una too get low self esteem.

EmoBoy: Let me me tell you a fact.

90 percent of the pornogràphy the world watches comes from america.

That shows a lot about the level of morality in the society.

I'm outta here...

Of course there is high level of immorality in US! Very high.

But at the end of the day, their men still seek decent girls to marry. That's what I'm trying to say.

How many 20 smth year old virgins can you count in Nigeria? But there are many of them in the US. Trust me. You find the baddest biitches and the most innocent angels in America.

That's only if she didn't contribute when buying the house otherwise one of you would have buy the other out inorder to own the house or you'll sell the house and share the proceeds according to the percentage that each party contributed. Women are contributing financially now so it's a different ball game except maybe she's a full time housewive

There's no problem if it's done logically like you described above, the problem is in the U.S the court rulings are usually highly irrational and mostly in favor of the women.

As you said in the case of the house, we should each be looking to recoup our initial investments as opposed to the whole house being given to the woman for whatever reason.

You often see stars paying some crazy amount on child support also, I heard of one paying child support of $25,000. I wonder what child needs $25,000 a month for upkeep and the funny thing is, it is mostly paid to the woman not the child directly.

So in essence the man ends up paying both alimony and child support to the woman to use for her new boyfriend support. Just doesn't seem fair!

But madam, if there's a high level of immorality, then there will be definitely be a low number of available virgins. Don't you think so?

In many US states, the wealth is shared almost equally, regardless of whether one of the spouses contributed money in buying the properties.

As I posted earlier, once two people are legally married here in the US, their finances become one. They file taxes jointly. For instance if the wife earned $500, and the husband earned $700 last year; the federal and/or state income tax will be levied on the total sum of $1200.

NEW YORK, April 6, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new survey claims that over 70% of young teens in the US have lost their virginity by the age of 14.

The survey of 2,311 youth was conducted in the city of Baltimore by Dr. Danielle Ompad and colleagues for The New York Academy of Medicine and published in the most recent issue of The Archives of Sexual Behavior. “I don’t think other cities would be too different,” Dr. Ompad told the New York Daily News.

The study group found that 42 percent of the youth surveyed had engaged in vaginal intercourse by the age of 14 – a 9 percent increase over 1995 figures reported by the US Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. The average age for initiating vaginal intercourse was 14.8 years.

Dr. Ompad said the findings raise concerns over the potential for a spike in sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancies.

UchihaMadara:

Exactly!


"If you aint no punk, holla we want prenup! We want prenup!!"

"It's something that you need to have, cause when she leave ur a.s.s she gon leave with half"


If I ever get married in the U.S, I'd have to get that. Some girls do find it weird though and some responses I've heard on the issue from women is like, "If you love me, you won't ask for prenup, are you expecting the marriage to fail?", but my response would be "If you love me, you would get a prenup to prove to me that you love me for me and not my money", simples!

Even with a pre-nup, the lady still has to get a percentage of your wealth. The pre-nup agreement has to benefit both parties.

I believe the Virgin one because unlike what obtains in Nigeria the religious fold over there are very serious with it. Most of the dedicated Christian boys and girls take a vow of chasity and they even wear the ring or necklace as a symbol. The good thing about Americans is that they are not hypocrites unlike us. If they are religious that are very serious with it in all aspects unlike here that Pastor will be sleeping with choir member cry

50calibre: This is nonsense to say the least, it has as much credibility as a tissue paper. Only a fool fool will swallow this shi*t hook line and sinker.

You don't need to be an American to know this is a joke, it's full of so many loose statements, half-truths and generalisations, which makes me wonder where the OP gathered these ridiculous statistics from.

Straight American guys hate gays (a blatant lie by the way)

Guys prefer virgins

Loooool did the OP conduct a survey? Blogs & forums are not a credible statistical tool, first not everyone visits blogs or forums, (as a matter of fact, the majority don't) second, people write anything online, which may or may not be true representation of their real personalities.

America has a population of close to 350 million, which is far larger than the largest African country. So I see no basis for comparison here, it's only normal that America has the greater numbers in some of these things.

This is a classic case of personal opinions/observations being passed as fact. Bound to mislead only the gullible & ill-informed.

You of all people!

Do you need me to download the oxford dictionary here so you can see the difference between percentage and actual number?

It is pertinent to note that some states/cities have higher risks and numbers of certain things than others. In the US, apart from some certain traditions, no two states are the same when it comes to their ways of life.
