readers discretion adviced: this is a long post. get a bowl of popcorn and your glasses. turn off the TV , you don't want to get distracted. if it took me time to write such a lengthy post, I wonder why you should complain about reading it. below are the reasons.

1. We're too different to live together: women love people and relationships, men love objects (like cars, houses, gadgets, game consoles etc), a man's lot is his career, a woman's is marriage (according to the curse after the fall of man), women are indirect, men are always direct, men want sex before they develop feelings for women, women can't have sex without emotional attachment first(unless they r who.res, even if they are who.res lolzzz), a man wants to hv sex, a woman wants to make love (I swear she doesn't even mind just cuddling), men see having dinner as a time to quench hunger, women see having dinner as time for bonding, let me continue? A married man without money feels unfulfilled, a wealthy woman without a man feels similarly, I can go on and on! But no time, my point, you need a lot of patience, tolerance, understanding, endurance, compromise etc to survive in marriage. But life is too short, stay single and be free to be urself or get married and spend the rest of your life struggling to be another person. Continue reading, this is just one of seven.

2. Love doesn't exist: if you intend to stake your future with a woman on an emotion as erratic as love, then you need to have ur head examined. Love is an emotional convulsion which, like other sicknesses, are recovered from with time. Experience has thought me that a woman's love is only skin deep, but you can accentuate it with money. Ohhhh how women react to the smell of cash. Bleep love and go make some muller.

3. You don't need a child: the world will remember you by the kids you left behind. That's a big fat lie!! You don't need a carbon copy of yourself roaming the earth after your demise to ensure your immortality. Instead, the world will remember you by the feats you surmounted! Obama will be remembered not as the father of, I don't even know his child's name and I don't give a fvck bout it! But as the first black US President. Mother Theresa never had a child, Einstein's legacy is not his kids but his discoveries. My point! You are not remembered by the kids you had but the records you set. But if you badly want a kid, adopt one, or get a baby mama and impregnate her but never, never get married just to have kids. marriage is too great a price to pay.

4. There is absolutely nothing new marriage has to offer you: just be honest with yourself. A family? You already belong to one (or do you think you just appeared out of thin air?), love? Your mother loves you like die, trust moi. A woman to manage your home? Get a maid! pay her well and she will manage your home without complications like disrespecting you, PMS, etc. Sex? Gone are the days men marry for sex ooo!!! Sex is damn cheap, you don't need marriage to enjoy it. By the way, what makes you think getting married entitles you to sex when you want it, ie, if at all?? U never jam female Hitler. Continue reading, I'm not even close to the end.

5. Marriage is expensive: a woman's problems end when she gets married (at least on financial level), while a man's problems just begin. Most ladies don't have plans of making money(some stop after getting married). for a woman, after graduating from uni, a husband is top on d list above a job ie, if a job is on the list. Guys, stay alone and worry for one. Apart from financially, marriage drains you emotionally. You have to deal with a partner suffering from PMS five days in a month for life (by the time she reaches menopause, you'd be probably dead) and when she ain't suffering PMS, its worse cos she is pregnant!! Don't forget regular mood swings, test games, among other complicated female emotional ailments. Plus wait till you get divorced before you know how much financially and emotionally expensive marriage could be. That brings us to...

6. It may end up in divorce: possible causes of divorce. She gains weight, sex with one person for years gone stale and boring, the love (or whatever dumb ass name you call it) fades, you want a new woman, (men are polygamous by nature, hard truth. Deal with it), she is no longer the woman you married, (true, women do change after marriage for many reasons, that is story for another day), you cheat on her, she cheats on you, many many more. Don't scar yourself with a painful divorce. Stay single and happy.

7. You get to focus on your dreams without distractions. Like I said earlier, a man's career is his lot (or curse). As s man if you haven't got a successful career, you will probably die unhappy and unproductive. The compromise you have to make to keep her happy will retard you from achieving your dreams to the fullest. Pleasing a woman and pursuing your dreams are mutually exclusive. don't get married.

disclaimer: its ironic when people say honesty is a virtue yet can't bear to hear (or read) the truth.

nota bene: I am not prejudiced towards women. I hate all equally.

Heart-broken guys always think they have an opinion.... the same guys saying on nairaland that they will never get married are still the same people that got heart-broken some few months back after a lady they intend to marry broke their heart,now tell me who is fooling who......marriage is meant for those who are matured enough to handle it...marriage is not meant for every man,marriage is not meant for cry cry babies

as a matter of fact, d good tins marriage has to offer to a man r tins he can enjoy while still single. wot I withheld r more downsides to marriage. my parents r separated n seem happier that way. my friends Dada died of heart attack caused by his wife, look marriage shud be a no go area for a man who intends to live eida happy or long or both.

Why shouldn't anyone have an opinion. Are you saying only some certain people are entitled to have opinions?

Hmm...you sound exactly like me.Women must have shown you hell like they've also shown me.From my personal experience,marriage,women and children are a total waste of time and energy.Married men are slaves to their wives and children.My advice to young men out there is to never ever get married instead,use that energy to build a business or concentrate on better endeavours.Louis Vuitton,Harley Davidson,Steve Jobs even Lipton,these are all men who are dead and gone but their legacies live on.Do you think I'm lying?Pray tell,what is the name of Chinua Achebes' wife/wives?How many child/children does he have?There is no such thing as 'happily married',its an oxymoron.its like saying a person is 'happily dead'.Read the book "The Manipulated Man" by Esther Vilar and learn more

...seriously,are you serious?I am not impress with your junk.it's full of craps.being single can be fun at first,as time goes on aging creeps in. it becomes a problem,a shame.all the time,I try not to impose my opinion,belief and culture on others because I may be wrong.whether married or single,it's all vanity.while u're still young and agile,please do the needful before old age creeps in,and one lives on regrets.

feelme3:
Mtcheeeeew! Some warped opinion.

My parents had a blissful marriage until death came (50 something years together). I grew up in a wonderful home. And above all, the essence of the creation of man and woman was for marriage.

So, I guess the immature minds, who are easily swayed in life will, maybe....just be swayed by this. Oh BTW, I just got married to a woman I dated for 9years

Good-luck to your followers.

Killjoy, I can't blame U for d uptight writeup. Its all abt experience. But lemmy ask, I hope ya staying single is abstaining from fornication? Mother Theresa whom U mentioned never engaged in sexual immorality. I hope U keep her pace. If U want to av a baby wtout a wife, Y not get a surrogate mother to give U a baby, not through sex but through IVF. Then that keeps U automatically away from d involvement of sex.

If only men can let go their ego and let God have His way, then they'll know that marriage is d sweetest union on earth. Understanding, godliness and love, is d essential bedrocks for marriage.

E no easy sha. But with God all things are possible. We can do all things through Christ Jesus DAT strengthens Ussssssssss...........!

duerap:
First of all let me state up front that i am a married man with two kids. That been said, now lets get to the point, i did not read the entire passage but going through some of the first points raised by the OP, i must say i absolutely concour with what the writer has to say.

Marriage is over rated! Don't get me wrong, i am not saying marriage is not good. It is good for those who want it (like me) but it is absolutely over rated. Marriage is more of an act of obedience to nature, not the fulfillment of a glorious fantasy as thought by so many. If you must get married, prepare to discipline yourself and adhere to the reality of the circumstances explained by the OP. It is only on this understanding that it is a responsibility that it can survive.

Keep it real and simple. Don't be forced into it. Get fully convinced that you really want to be in it forever, no matter what, because it is a sacrifice not a bed of roses. That way you'll will not only enjoy the ride but will also be at peace with everything - career, your living environment, your earnings (big or just enough) etc.

Finally, marriage is not a must. If you dont want it, it's okay - it does not make you half a man or less of a man. You can be great without a woman in your life. And it is also a fact that without your own children, your name can aslo be immortalised by your greatness or noble deeds.
So, it's up to you to make a choice. Either way, you can stamp your feet on the indelible sand of time with or without marriage.

Dis is ridiculous,tank God 4 feminist who will bluntly disagree wit u...I tink feminism was created because of rotten ideas like urs,tink u just rubbished womanhood.maybe u forgot dat u were concived by a woman or was it a surrogate mother,I have a lot to say buh wit d ideas u ve created 4 urself it wont sink in so no need.
