There is a book out there titled "The Great Female Con". Talks about marriage and why marriage is not a 'plus' for men and how women subconciously and some conciously just get married to get on to a term that is called "the program"
Lot of views shared may sound chauvanistic but I know alot of friends that have been burned by the GREAT FEMALE CON and I think this book can be the beginnings of a great discussion here.
I remember that the link to the book's website used to be advertised on this website. I checked out the website but have not bought the book yet, but definitely a great topic for discussion.
