Every guy who's ever been laid without using protection knows that...!!!:p:

I would sooner move to the UK and claim political asylum than deal with that...

Anyway, it is my understanding that they can only take what is fair - so if you are reasonable wealthy, they would not have the right to take half of your stuff.

Either way, it's not a problem if you don't have children! :D

I'm not a dad who has had to deal with the CSA, but nah - it doesn't work that way.

Depending on the number of kids under 18, they come for a proportion of your wage. If you're on a million-dollar salary, the proportion doesn't change - so the payout is bigger.

And there are reciprocal arrangements with other countries - so you can't get away.

Let's get back to this thread on "How to choose a partner"

You have no idea............CSA and fairness not in my lifetime .:banghead::banghead:
 
How do you choose wisely? People change. The only factor I have seen that seems to have any impact, is living in the city Vs country areas. ie - temptation.

CSA = a fathers worst nightmare, (pro mothers). Your best decision can still not stop it getting to this. A woman wants to leave she can. You still want your job? keep it. Mother doesn't want to work? She doesn't have to. 50/50 care you still pay, their calc based on income levels.

Stay single and grow some balls, thinking you need a partner is pathetic.

Want to choose to have kids in a relationship? Always plan short term and love your kids always.

Think it takes a lifetime to find good one.....
 
CSA aka Commonwealth Suicide Assistance. If the woman want to buy her new BF a tattoo it is ok by CSA you have no say in how the money is spend.
It has nothing to do with supporting the kids It is a way of the feds not having o support kids.

Ay..Wise and True advice there Kennas


I believe it was myself who provided Mr Burns with some of his original criteria.

If you want to stay married a long time, imo, a lot comes down to how you behave when "fighting" as this is when relationships break down.

So if you examine why partners fight badly, it is commonly over those fundamental issues, conditioned by personality and upbringing.

imo, kindness is the mark of a man, and the reverse, cruelty, is so perverse to the nurturing nature of womanhood, that I find it utterly repellant. A total gamebreaker

As you are yoked together in unison, you must work as a team, so the ability to communicate well on an intellectual level goes a long way to short-circuiting those idiotic,tense situations that tend to develop
.

With respect to "spending/saving" and sex drive matching, I think most could identify that these are obvious and recurring points of potential conflict.

If there is a significant mismatch in expectations from the start in these areas, in my observation, things do not go well.

I think one should nurture and encourage ones partner, and recognise some difference in male and female thought and behaviour.

Must admit it probably does help that even absurdly young guys still go to water at the sight of my Mrs.

I agree. It is probably the most practical advice so far on this thread on selecting a female partner. A woman with thick ankles will probably have poor circulation, a bad temper and her feet will be cold in bed.

Check the ankles before you lift your gaze to the breast and face.

But seriously AWG - never a truer statement made here, so do expand on this all you can (with no further references to young Turks gawking at your missus).

Yes good post, but what about cruelty in a woman, just steer clear if it isnt too late ?
 
In answer to Mr Burns..yes that is the most important thing for me...even more than ankle diameter.

I hope this doesnt sound too sexist, but women are designed to nurture babies, which normally requires a great selflessness, and this will extend further if all is well.

However, for various reasons to do with genetics, personality, upbringing, IMO, can lead to some dysfunction.

Cruelty is for the weak, if I see signs in man or woman, avoid.
I do not think it can be eradicated, unless they are very insightful

Kindness and Courage go hand-in hand.

If your partner is not kind enough they will not have it in them to nurture you when the chips are down..and to be sure they will be down sometimes...so this can be a marriage wrecker.

Unfortunately, it is not so easy I think to identify such traits at a young age, but all I can say is that even when I was very young, I had the same attitude

In my personal situation I was always attracted to females of high intellect, even though I cannot pull the wool over their eyes, and get my ear chewed, I see this as a far more favorable long-term arrangement than what I have seen in couples where one or the other is intellectually dominant (normally fatal if woman is much smarter).

Know your own flaws realistically. Lets face it, how fkd up are you !

Oh yes...develop good "fight" resolution methods...I fight hard but fair when needed and compromise when I must.

This is where the cruelty stuff comes up, cruel individuals fight dirty, stupid and relentless, and once an insult is said, it can never be unsaid.

A dysfunctional relationship with parents seems to me to be associated with this.

I am talking stuff to avoid here, as relationships are fun & easy when the going is good. As an earlier poster said, this stuff is complex




This bit is sexist, so look away easily offended ones

I once worked at a joint with many beautiful, intelligent women, and not many men. A very attractive & naughty young lady became enamoured of a newish fellow and he turned to me for some honest advice.

Would you .... her he asked ?
No was my reply
Was it because of the ankles he asked
Yes i replied

ps, he later asked me about another lady, and I said I thought she was very nice, he is now happily married to her ( she was slender, so I was not required for ankle advice)

Excellent posts of yours awg, you have confirmed my thinking on cruelty and/or hardness, you must look for it, you can tell, little signs and you have to take your eyes off her other attributes, not be distracted, and act on those signs before it's too late.

I think running her past your friends is also a good move, they see what you don't

Yes, unfortunately, many very attractive people tend to have developed a streak of selfishness/cruelty, for many reasons, including for females in particular to shied themselves from the onslaught of broken male hearts etc.
Hard to undo later. Like the Princess mentality, or if someone has beeen abused etc

I would look for definite evidence to support where an individual lies on the spectrum.
How have they treated past individuals?
What demonstrable acts have they done either way ?
Can they discuss this highly intellectual topic in a rational manner ?

I have met several individuals who seemed to me highly conflicted, displaying both great kindness and cruelty at different times.

These can be the worst imo, very hard to figure out, and very beguiling at times

maybe I should have kept my mouth shut on that one :)

But when I said guys go to water, she has a manner that is at once both so compassionate and courageous that men are unable to resist.

Even though she works completely on her own at times with guys having terrible criminal records, I do not fear for her safety.

She once assailed a group of teenage thugs and humiliated them publicly.
Witnesses state they could not believe the way she verbally shredded the young guys bravado

Good stuff AWG - can understand why you're on top of the world.
 
This man is out of his depths:

Former swimming champion Grant Hackett has confirmed that his five-year marriage to Candice Alley is over.

"I can confirm media speculation this morning that Candice and I have separated,'' Hackett said in a statement.

"I want to be dignified in my approach to everything and ensure the children's needs are paramount and put first.

"I wish Candice every success.

"It is my hope that everybody can respect the process and be kind to all parties involved as it is a very difficult time."

Alley and Hacket, who is part of the Nine Network's London Olympic commentary team, married in 2007 and have two children, Charlize and Jagger..
