Everytime I read these kinds of things, I score myself.
Wedding: well, yeah, I want that. Over the past ten years the whole girly dream wedding had devolved into going to Vegas, party the night before (including strip clubs) I go to a spa the next morning (to look pretty) and get married by Elvis in the evening, top off with ride in that rollercoaster over the strip, good steak dinner, followed by more party until bedtime (which better be sexytime unless there's been too much alcohol consumption)
So, I'm not sure how much of that counts as a hassle. Yes, expensive and items of total girly tripping (I don't much care if it's an actual "wedding dress" but white and pretty) but strip club, Elvis, steak and booze (oh, and sex) are enjoyed by most guys.
Living together:
Silence... well, not all the time. When I'm reading, mostly. I like music or TV on other times.
Food... Yes, food is good. There will be food. I might lose points here because I tend to get territorial over stuff like bacon, cheetos, meat and pickles.
Beer... I like beer. I like rum. I don't drink that much. I wouldn't marry a guy that drank too much. So, I lose no points here, because if he wants beer, then beer is in the fridge and I mostly wouldn't drink more then a few bottles at a time.
Entertainment... I don't do sports. That I will say. Watchng sports is boring. If he must, I'll be out or reading in a corner somewhere. Please, keep it down to a reasonable noise level. Negitive points.
Bathroom. Negitive points. I already know that. I also am not sure how I'm not bald, even when it's not shedding season.
And I do have a lot of bottles and pots and brushes and potions and such. After Dad complained about the slip factor in the tub, I started just pouring a few cups of this purple industrial power degreaser in the tub adter my showers and then letting the hot water run for a couple minutes.
Talking... I like to talk and have conversations. I like to listin as well. I'll make a deal. He doesn't talk to me while I'm reading or engrossed in TV/movie I'll leave him be when he needs his quiet time. The point value here could go either way.
Events:
I'm not a social person. This will be the other way around in most cases. I also have neve dragged a boyfriend to an event. I have been dragged to events (i got told to dress up and make myself up pretty, too, which I did)
If my maternal family has an event, though, you be he's going, but my maternal family is crazy, so those (even the funerals) tend to be pretty funny.
Shopping? Not even most of the time, unless it's a joint purchase. I don't like shopping most of the time, I'm picky about shopping with people and most of the time, I know what I want and I go in, get it and get the hell out. Unless he's actually fun to shop with (and enjoys it) he's not even invited.
Also, I'm on time, if not early, for events. Again, I've waited on boyfriends more then they've waited for me.
I think I earn points here.
TV
I don't watch any of those shows (occasionally America's got talent as background noise, but only as last resort)
My two contestent shows are So You Think You Can Dance and Last Comic Standing (which I sometimes skip because I can't take *expletive deleted*ing rosanne)
I do watch a lot of TV, but most of the drama's and such, I get on DVD (Grimm, Sparticus, Vikings, House, SCRUBS)
I also watch a lot of movies, mostly action and scfi stuff, with a generous dose of chick flicks, real drama's, kids movies and a few comedys.
Of all the guys I've dated, the only thing I fail on is I hate horror movies, and occasionally I can do those with alcohol. Usually, I bring more "guy" movies/tv then they do.
So, I'm getting more points on this one.
Rings. Negitive points. I don't care much for wearing rings either, but symbolic value trumps sausage fingers. I'm willing to branch out on symbolic gifts, though. We each get rings and we each get
a guns is fine by me.
Devoirce. A guy would have to really piss me off for me to go for his finachial gut on spousal support. Like cheated and gave me an STD type piss me off. Child support? You bet, even steven and that's for the kid. (my father didn't pay, because he thought my mom would spend it on herself, which mostly she would have. OTOH, I wish he had paid anyway, because she's happier with what she wants and I had to live with her. I have issues on this subject)
Rather not get devoirced, though.
No clue how the points lie on this.
Sleeping with other people... He cheats, he may be a dead man. Cheating and lieing are a no go. There are other things, that based on my posting history, most could probably figure out that I'm possibly earning points on this one, and we leave it at that.
BJs. I get points, enough said.
Freedom... Meh. On one hand, my attitude is "I'm stuck here too." On the other, I like doing my own thing.
I don't think I lose points, but i'm not sure I earn any.
Sterotypes are sterotypes. Sometimes there is some truth in them, but the induvidial is more of a thing. I look at the successful marriages around me and, well, all of them have some elements of the sterotypes and all of them have some major diffrences, and the same and the diffrences are across the board. I would say that the marriage with all those collected sterotypes is probably doomed. The rest have give and take and a sense of humor about the rest.
