No, because I wasn't buying her. Also no because I don't think I could make it through the conversation without him knowing I don't take him seriously.


I tried my best to maintain my composure when he gave me the "she's my daughter and if you hurt her.." speech at my wedding but I started laughing.

Never even knew it was a thing until relatively recently. Bizarre as gently caress. Most marriage ritual is bizarre as gently caress and it seems like I learn all kinds of things I was "supposed" to have done but never even knew it was a thing.

Did you spend most of your life bumping your helmet against a wall because this poo poo is absolutely 100% common knowledge as you can see by this thread and anything else on the subject

What other perfectly normal and widely referenced marriage customs that come up in every movie, sitcom, novel and conversation about marriage are you saying you didn't know about

uhh im muslim so yes you have to loving ask, not only do you have to ask, you have to pay a dowry based on:

1. how hot she is now, and how hot she is likely to be in the future. 2. her career and how much money she is likely to make. 3. her dads status in the community and how good her family is

so if shes a skank you can expect to pay very little, an average woman 5-10,000 dollars, and more depending on who she is.

i.e. if amal alamuddin were muslim, easily 100k plus dowry.


atheists have it too ez

And thus ends Pon de Bundy's mulsim gimmick

despite the fact that CC is trolling i would like to let all Persian women know that they are welcome in the US at any time

also did not ask permission, possibly because I'd already slept over multiple times when she lived at home so i was like, how could it possibly be less morally acceptable to not ask

Well it is a tradition completely made up by DeBeers to inflate the perceived value of diamonds, which at the time weren't considered all that great.

I dunno I mean people might be fibbing about being married or engaged or telling stories about imaginary in-laws for comedy purposes in this thread but I don't think that's the same as you telling insecurity-fueled kiddie-pool porky pies about how you never heard of this thing and don't give a gently caress about it.

I mean, it was the specific quality of "due to my autism I have no clue what real human beings find credible, I guess I'll haul off with something that makes me sound cool" retarded bullshit in your posting that really caught my attention like a big red flashing light, and trying to pass it off as 'lol I was joking' was even worse.

Thanks for at least getting around to admitting it, though. Just, you know, in the future, remember you ain't got to lie to kick it plus you actually suck at it.
