Everywhere from TV shows to movies a major theme is the man "winning" some woman’s approval and convincing her to marry him. Let’s not forget that most women’s magazines are about weddings, fashion (to get his attention), and full of "how to marry mr. right" articles. Most religions also constantly peddle the "get married and live happily ever after" message to men.
The truth is marriage in any Westernized/Feminazi country is a scam whereby the man gives up ALL his freedoms and most of his money for one woman’s security, on HER terms. After the wedding she is in complete control of the relationship and is free to do whatever she wants (gain weight, cheat, cut off sex), the 800-pound gorilla aka the government backs her every decision via the family court.
This is why getting married in a Western country is such a bad deal for men. Marriage only works when the government is not involved rewarding females for their bad behavior (and thus encouraging it). Marriage is stil alive and well in most 2nd/3rd world countries simply because the government stays out of people’s family affairs, and the cultures also shame women who cheat or otherwise walk out on their marriages. So ladies, if marriage is so great, why is constant propoganda needed to fool men into marrying?
BTW, if you are a man reading this, DON’T GET MARRIED! If you absolutely must get married, at least find a good foreign/non-Westernized woman who will stick around for the long term as opposed to leaving you and taking 50% of your assets/children because she was "bored". Western women are crap, they have an entitlement mentality, are 120% materialistic, and they do not value commitment.
Actually, I’ve never been married. I am just amazed at all the propoganda men are fed telling them to get married.
I have some good friends who were screwed by Western women in one way or another.
I like how women immediately start shaming when confronted with facts "oh you’re bitter" "stop being angry" LOL
Love is a flower which turns into fruit at marriage.

I have been playing “tag” with Mosuba, a Western Lowland Gorilla at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska for years but I have never gotten to see what it looks like. I made a couple of videos today since there weren’t as many visitors as usual. In the background you can see Rosie sitting, watching, and Bambio (Mo’s and Rosie’s grand-daughter) playing on the vines. At the very end you can see Timu, Bambio’s mom, and the worlds first test-tube gorilla, walk in from the right. She is the daughter of Rosie and Mo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpXA-gY6Z_4 Shows a longer version of this video
This video shows the large canine teeth and huge mouth and jaw muscles of the male silverback gorilla.
The longer video shows gorilla fights. The second one begins when a large silverback grabbed and attacked a young gorilla. Although female gorillas are depicted as submissive to males, this is not the case. In this instance the females attacked the male and rescued the young one. They continued screaming and chasing him. Such a male would probably not be a group silverback in the wild for very long. The gorillas screaming sounds almost exactly like human screams.
Although many videos of gorilla fights are of juveniles play wrestling, this was a real fight involving adults seriously fighting and a serious attack on a young animal.
The other portions show other gorilla fights. Gibbons howling can be heard in the background.
One of the female gorillas is Colo, who is the world’s first gorilla born in captivity and the oldest known gorilla. She is an amazing world record holder for many additional reasons. Colo gave birth to Emmy, the first second-generation gorilla born in captivity and became a grandmother when Cora, the first third-generation gorilla, was captive born. In addition, for ten years, Colo’s grandsons, Mosuba and Macombo II, were the only gorilla twins born in the western hemisphere! Colo is also the great grandmother of Timu, the first surviving gorilla conceived by artificial insemination.
**These are western lowland gorillas (gorilla gorilla). The adult males are very colorful with silver backs and red top hair. The gorilla (gorilla gorilla) is the largest of all living primates. These African apes are divided into two species and 4 or 5 subspecies. Their DNA is 97-98% identical to that of humans and they are considered the next closest relative after the chimpanzee. Gorillas can be over 6 feet tall and weight over 500 lbs. They are highly intelligent. Some such as Koko have been taught a subset of sign language. They use tools for a number of purposes.
Gorillas are normally peaceful vegetarians, but they defend their babies. In this case a whole group of females chastised the male. No one was hurt.
