The Blacks I hang out with and see, none gangsters, get all gangstered up after work. Its odd they will say they are against it then where the clothes, talk the talk so on. I think to get girls but still. Positive to hear that many are against it. I think the reason it is much more understates in the "blue" you describe is as a collective we would not allow that type of behavior. For sure it is underlying, and some feel how they feel. But I think it is a disservice to not point out that it is at least not welcomed and I would suggest getting smaller with each generation. That being said with Terrorism, and all the media coverage on racism it does it bring more top of mind and I guess it could make a comeback. I hope it continues to be forced into the "darkness" until hopefully someday it goes more or less away. I 100% disagree that "blue tribes" (Democrat/Liberals) are not actively acting openly racist, classist, and misogynistic. Just looking at how people in downtown SF treat blacks and the poor on the streets, the hiring practices by the tech culture in most democrat/urban cities, the emphasis of gentrification on predominantly blue areas, the anti-science vax/gmo haters, etc... The blue tribe has many shit tonnes of open hate against progress. Its just that most blue tribes don't think that their hateful acts are that hateful and use the "at least its not as bad as red tribes" argument. | ||

Does anyone ever stay and party at wherever the reception was planned? | ||

Does anyone ever stay and party at wherever the reception was planned? No, I haven't, and presumably not. In any case, it seems like it would be really weird to attend, and I personally would probably go home. | ||

Plus, the bride/groom who just got humiliated probably wants to end their night drunk as fuck anyway. | ||

Plus, the bride/groom who just got humiliated probably wants to end their night drunk as fuck anyway. You can usually get a refund on the booze. And can probably negotiate some kind of discount with the venue (although it of course depends on the arrangement). The catering, decoration, etc. are of course gone, I agree. But I guess it would depend on whether either the bride or the groom wants to continue, or just grab a bottle of vodka and get shitfaced crying their eyes out in the privacy of their home. | ||

I could totally see and understand doing this if it were an arranged marriage or even were it a very stiff, "traditional," courtship type of a situation. At least for the US and most of Europe I imagine most kids getting married these days though wouldn't have had a structured or rigid social expectation leading towards marriage. | ||

I can't imagine arranged or traditional weddings stopping once the guests arrive, but modern day folks who think of the ceremony as just a ceremony would totally bail. | ||

Then do your absolute best to pick up one of the bridesmaids or family member of the bride. Save your grief stage for later. Only one of the bridesmaids? Why so little ambition? | ||

More traditional couples will force things to work, even when it sucks. Less traditional couples are only staying together because its working. Whether one is better than the other is an argument of contention--most especially when kids are involved. | ||

I think that falls in line with forcing things to work. The reason I don't really want to conclude that that means people won't be happy together is because "rest of your life" is a long ass time. So even if you're unhappy for 20 years of it, it doesn't mean you'll be unhappy the next 20 years of it. Things also get complicated when kids are involved, when property is involved, etc... So sometimes "forcing it to work" is also the financial/easy road to go. Like, imagine if the choice was "Have a 1-10 year lawsuit over who owns the house OR swallow pride and pretend your once a month sex life is fine." Imagine if the choice was "Get divorced so you only get to see your kid half as often as you do now with the hope that having absent parents won't make your child angry with you or the world" etc... In other words, there are lots of reasons to force things to work outside of social pressures and happiness. And I don't necessarily agree that ignoring those other variables is the right way to think about whether people should stay married or not. But I do agree with the conclusion that some people are not happy because they don't deal with small couple problems--I just don't think that's an issue that happens statistically more with traditional over non-traditional couples. | ||
