The title is a reference to 'bigger cages, longer chains' -a concept that has been on my mind lately.
Anyway, I was trying to think of solid reasons to ever be involved in a 'serious relationship' should I ever have that desire in the future. The only thing I could come up with in my 30 min walk this morning was this: guys love awesome beards and hilarious mustaches, girls hate them, or at the very least would rather you not have them. Basically, your chances of meeting a girl with a kick ass beard is pretty slim, but all your guy friends will respect you so much more for the time and dedication that it took -something the fairer gender seems to overlook. BUT, if you get involved in a serious relationship you can have the most awesome beard and all you'll get is an occasional 'please shave that thing off', which is far outweighed by your drunken friends compliments on your sweet stache. Basically, a girl won't leave you because of your facial hair if the rest of you is awesome, but a girl won't get to know you if you look like Charles Manson's slightly cooler brother.
So there you have it, another thing to put on my list of
Reasons to get married:
1. you can both go to the same place in the peace corp
2. food sharing
3. bigger beards, funnier mustaches
4. Always have a partner for World of Warcraft raids.
When we dated, you had a chin strap.
