Let's experiment with collaborative blogging!
I don't want to say this, but I am feeling old. And some of the satisfying times of my life have been conversations.
One of those conversations I remember is us back in SIS.
We are sitting around in a hut of Lady Maclehose Holiday Village, during a geography trip. It's late at night and we are basically having a sleepover. And like all sleepovers, the topic inevitably drifts to girls.
So, we talk about girlfriends, crushes, relationships of other people...and then you dropped the bomb - something along the lines of "marriage is inefficient. Why would I want to get married?". Oh, and I think we never figured out what Sam's interests were.
7 years on, what's our views? Have they changed?
E:
I think the social landscape has completely changed.
Marriage is restrictive and legal red-tape, outdated in today's dynamic, free society.
Women are generally more interested in long-term high-commitment relationships than men, when a suitable partner is found.
At the least, people in "developed areas" are marrying later in life.
To be continued...
