Before you marry the daughter, look at the mother.

Poor Craythur · 11-02-2011 4:10pm #1

I've heard this a few times recently. (Oh what a sheltered life I've lived until now.

)

Do men really go by this? It's a bit daft, considering women receive traits from both parents, and sometimes take after their father, or even other rellies more. Plus, you and yer mamma are different people with different personalities which makes a difference.

If their father died young and they have money I will defintely marry them.

Well you can check out her father if you're that way inclined...

The point I'm making inarticulately is we all have to take our chances in this world!

im 26 .. but when i was younger i thought all these sayings like 'look at the mother' ... even other things like 'dont judge a book by its cover' , 'all is fair in love and war' etc etc werent necessary true.

one thing i've learned is over the years.... there is a reason why they caught on. Because they are true. Sure there can be exceptions to the rule but generally they are right.

Some men do. It's a rule of thumb, like "people get fatter after they marry", and "the last blowjob you'll ever get will be on your wedding night".

Unforunately MILFS are few and far between. Stay single lads.

I'm also 26, and wouldn't be bothered by what a boyfriend's Dad looks like!

Thats because men get better looking as they get older. Women get older looking and small.

But surely you can agree with me that alot of famous sayings are generally right. One thing i found out. Of course, as i say, always exceptions.

You WISH that was true.

Most men don't become better-looking. Well, if they have money they do.

PS Men get older looking too. Shocking, I know. And not in a good way.

And I've actually seen perky (real) older breasts and not small ones at that, believe it or not!

No, I genuinely just heard this first for the first time a few months ago, and then a fair few times since.

It's kinda depressing.

don't worry about it, plastic surgery is cheap these days.

If I ever get to the stage of marrying a guy, I'll say I'll do my best to look good but that no-one knows what the future will bring. It's up to him whether he sticks around!

Women age quicker though.

Judging by the state of the people I left school with 10 year ago, that's not true. A lot of the blokes don't look so great (and some of the girls too).

An very old-fashioned view.

And I'd love to know what you're basing that on.

bonerm · 11-02-2011 4:57pm

..... or you could look at the father (to see how worn out and crushed you're gonna be 20 years from now0.

On average male skin ages ten years slower than female skin. Its due to testosterone. Google it.

OK, thanks.

I would have to say though - deal with it!

EDIT: Couldn't find much on Pubmed on the subject.

I'd me more concerned about how she treats her parents/siblings than how much she looks like them.

Let's face it - once they get married, most people have about ten years of being good looking left. Then it's a steep, steep slope down to fugly middle age. You're gonna have to live with your partner once they turn into a minger. You'd better be damn sure you actually like them. If they spend all their time talking smack to their family, you can be damn sure that's how they're going to talk to you in twenty years' time.

Before you marry the daughter, look at the mother.
