Please elaborate. How is this mob or herd mentality? Do you know what the term

means? What evidence is there that CBers are influencing each other to act emotionally and irrationally by giving POTDs to this?

Herd mentality

Herd mentality, mob mentality and pack mentality, also lesser known as gang mentality, describes how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis. When individuals are affected by mob mentality, they may make different decisions than they would have individually.

To be clear, coming to CB for advice was the best decision of your life right?

You got married after 4 months of knowing her? I guess when you know, you know

I don't think so. I'd say average is closer to 6 months. Real stats would be

JuicyJam

Hey...I did all I could to bring that average up. HCBW and I knew each other

I proposed after 2 months. Married six months later.

I find this extremely hard to believe. I know some get married quick, but average less than four months just seems like

Plenty of that same story from BYU

Same boat. Just celebrated 20 years last December.

He is engaged, not married. Also, per his post and original thread he has known her longer than that.

Moissonite perhaps?

Could be. That's what I would advise people to buy.

That’s fantastic. So happy for both of you.

Lol I'm getting married May 29th! Love it man.

The real test is...when is the wedding?

He's learned his lesson. It will be sometime between February and the end of Aug

Now, every time your wife wants to skip a football game, she’ll remind you

k-ace

2/22/21 9:23am

Lollll. We missed the game, came back, and watched it on the DVR w/o commercials

McConkatroid

2/22/21 9:30am

It’s a slippery slope.

k-ace

2/22/21 10:59am

So here's the real question. How many games did she watch with you?

TailgateU

2/22/21 9:32am

Every single one. Plus I've already converted her to the Jazz as well:)

Congrats! She seems like a keeper!

2/22/21 10:43am

Not a Jazz fan (yet), but that is solid work right there. A tip of the cap to you, sir.

SoBlueitHurts

2/22/21 10:56am

Congratulations! That's great. Make sure you establish boundaries quickly.

2/22/21 9:32am

I expected law of chastity talk here. Not football scheduling. Hahahaha

McConkatroid

2/22/21 9:36am

There's another category for that. You're the one that posted it in the football category

It's true. My wife used to roll her eyes at every CB mention. Now she regularly prompts me to ask the board for advice.

39? Try 79. This guy's about to make magic happen off the field. If you only knew what that was like, you'd POTD too.
