Because masculinity is defined in the negative, (i.e. masculine = not feminine) I think "men" do this to appear manly. Because women are supposed to be interested in weddings and being married, then men have to automatically NOT be interested in such things or their manhood gets called into question. Dorks. Funny how that doesn't mesh with real life, eh?<BR/><BR/>Hey, I didn't make the rules. Boys who say stupid stuff like this are jerks with a lack of brain cells.

Marriage is great, and you're going to love it!"<BR/><BR/>Also, to Kristen, I would say that I often ask expecting couples if they have any names picked out as a way to make conversation. I'm not asking so they'll tell me -- quite frankly, I totally understand that they won't.<BR/><BR/>I mean, let's be honest: questions are good. It shows that people are interested in you, and they're trying to relate and talk to you about it. Same to the person who said they were irked by, "If you guys decide to have kids... but if you don't that's okay!" I mean, what else would you have people say?<BR/><BR/>Eh. It's funny, reading this I was struck by how things I may have asked out of mere politeness would be taken as rudeness by others.
