Wow Flagpole. A lot of people really don’t like you here. There are a ton of downvotes on a stupid thread. Some time for reflection and reevaluation before posting again?
Meh. Not all correct opinions are popular ones. I was a tad surprised that I was pushed this story by media outlets (because I don't request such celebrity news), so I commented and also gave a correct opinion about the two of them (he being a fool for being interested in her, she being someone that no one should ever consider becoming serious with based on her past behavior).
I am now not as surprised as I see a lot of people here defending both of them. I see that those who are doing that hold celebrities up as idols. That's not how I roll.
I NEVER post here so that people here will like me. I don't care one bit about that. I have too many friends today as it is. I weeded out a couple during Trump's presidency. There are a couple of others who need to straighten their ships or they will be on the outs too.
No one is defending them. People are downvoting your smugness and making judgements about others who are not doing you any harm with their life decisions. Stop spending all of your time judging others and just live your own life.
Moreover, your attitude is misogynistic. Would you say a man is gross if he had been married 3 times?

Not misogynistic at all. I have called Donald Trump gross for being married 3 times, so yes. Barking up the wrong tree with me there, brother. You absolutely CAN be critical of a particular woman without being a misogynist.

This does bring up a question though. What do you mean by gross? Do you mean her privates would be repugnant to you? Please elucidate.
You know that’s not what marriage means in our country. It means two consenting adults decided to enter into a legal union with one another.
Serious question: did your handle get hijacked?
That it is a legal contract doesn't ALSO mean it isn't the other thing. "Till death do us part" is the most common thing said in marriage vows, and it IS what is expected when people marry.
I am pro marriage (for ALL adults, regardless of sexuality). I am anti-frivolity. No, my handle was not hijacked.
The expectations are set by the parties entering into the agreement. There is no legal requirement for a couple to promise "till death do us part". It's just convention and people are free to establish their own conditions for the marriage that may not conform to your "standards".

Of course. You can say whatever you want, but still, the overwhelming norm is that marriage is supposed to be forever. In fact, if a celebrity ever got married and they went into it with the agreement with each other that it wasn't going to be forever, they would announce that (because that's the kind of thing celebrities like to do).
Marriage has a meaning. It doesn't mean you are going out to dinner. It doesn't mean you're going to buy a car together. It doesn't mean you are going to a baseball game. These are not MY standards. That is THE standard of what marriage means as a custom in our part of the world.
She has had three failed ones so far and two others that didn't happen. He's a fool for entering into a marriage with her, and she's a fool also because it is clear she isn't equipped for it. They are just setting themselves up for potential heartache and lawyer interaction. There is no way she defined marriage in her other three that it wasn't to be forever.
Thrust upon me today is the news that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are engaged.
Jennifer Lopez is a train wreck. She's only 52 and she has been married 3 times (divorced each time) and engaged who knows how many other times.
What the hell is Ben Affleck thinking? Not sure if they will end up getting married, but no way is this a "till death do we part" situation. What a fool.
So just how does this affect the cost of tea in China? I'm sorry you had to endure such a horrible attack of grossness by the media. I hope the people in Ukraine aren't subjected to view such gross things.
I thought this thread would be based on BA opting for J Lo over Ana De Armas, who is scintillatingly hot and in her prime. J Lo is exceptional for a woman her age, but ADA has twenty great years ahead of her. Go young for the second marriage.

Interesting that you are responding to this thread in the middle of night. It sounds like you think that Lopez is now damaged goods and no man should ever become involved with her again. She should be forced to wear a scarlet letter for life. She is not deserving of the love or even the friendship of another human being. She should live out her days as a social pariah because an internet troll has made his judgement and deemed her as GROSS.
You have no idea why Affleck is marrying her or what he sees in her that apparently you do not. Maybe she is kind and caring. I would place some who is kind and caring and married 3 times over someone who is cruel and vicious and never been divorced. Maybe they will get divorced, but not everyone views their life only in terms of risk avoidance the way you do. And why do you get so much satisfaction over judging others? Does it make you feel better about yourself?
Anyway, carry on with your safe, bland, middle-class life where you can feel smug and superior to all the people who are divorced and did not save money or make such wise choices with their lives as you did.

And this impacts you how exactly? What business is it of anyone else's?
I see that 7 people so far have downvoted my initial post. Assuming you are all men, would YOU ever enter into a serious relationship with Jennifer Lopez at this point after 3 divorces, a recent engagement to Alex Rodriguez that went from her spewing how happy and in love she was to calling it off? Really? Wow...she's a nutbar, and she should recognize that about herself and never get married again.
I might...imagine dating her and getting to meet all those famous people!

A person can't have an opinion about something unless it rises to the level of an unjust war in Ukraine? That's silly.

Man, after all of these years of posting here, you people still don't understand me at all.
Damaged goods? Scarlet letter? I would never say that or even think that about a woman. The criticism is about her getting MARRIED. She clearly isn't good at that. Doesn't matter if she's kind and caring.
They will either end up not getting married, or if they do get married, they will (if they both live as long as their natural life span would take them, so no accidental death or suicide) either get divorced or have the marriage annulled. Without question. They both have a sketchy track record, but hers is worse. SUPER foolish of Affleck to do this. She is also a fool.
What if Mrs. Flagpole meets someone who sweeps her off her feet and ends up dumping you no matter how well you treated her. She divorces you. You find someone you think is Mrs. Right but she is instead a whore (a gold digger your words) and ends up running off with a really rich guy. She divorces you but no fault of your own. You are getting close to 60 and don't want to live your waning years alone. So you meet a wonderful lady and you decide that this is the lady you want to spend the rest of your years. You have a fabulous courtship and then get married. Are you gross for getting married a third time?

You said a woman (often with kids and seeking a better life for her kids) is a whore for going after a man who can offer her and her kids a secure life. A whore. You have called those women whores many times even though they are simply seeking a better life for her kids.
