Why you're not married

[MatureDJ]

Obviously, it's for that same upper 30-something cohort of chicks that complain about being single or give advice to "settle" to avoid being a spinster, etc., but an interesting read nonetheless ...

Because ultimately, marriage is not about getting something -- it's about giving it. Strangely, men understand this more than we do. Probably because for them marriage involves sacrificing their most treasured possession -- a free-agent penis -- and for us, it's the culmination of a princess fantasy so universal, it built Disneyland.

Never been a tattoo guy but I'm tempted to get "Free Agent" tattood on my penis now.

Why isn't "You're fat" in that list of reasons?

I think she gets round this by using this disclaimer in point 6;

"Here is what you need to know: You are enough right this minute. Period. Not understanding this is a major obstacle to getting married"

ergo, there is nothing at all wrong with you, you do not have to change anything, your attitud or lose that stubborn 30-40 lbs

overall though, a fairly honest reflection

Who is stupid enough to take advice from a woman who can get married but has no idea how to stay married? (Oh right: women.) Maybe she doesn't stay married because she made stupid decisions about marrying to begin with.

"Men of character are, by definition, willing to commit."

Fvck you and your fem-universe lingo. Yea, whatever, men of character are willing to just do for women what they ask. Okay. "By definition."

I hate how they give the most generic advice and act like it's gold!

Did you know that not being a complete fvcking mega-b1tch helps you to get married?

I would expect nothing more from the Muffington Post.

It's called a "filler" article. You can find billions of them in tabloids and magazines. I think they have computers spit them out. They say absolutely nothing anyone hasn't read a million times before.

I could write one right now, on a health topic:

How to Avoid Migraines
by Zarky

Lots of people have migraines. They're pretty awful. Here's how to help prevent them.

1) Eat right
2) Try to relax more
3) Exercise regularly
4) Try yoga

These might not completely eliminate migraines, but they will help.

There is so little content in the world, that these articles are needed by large publishing companies. Putting any weight at all in them is a bad idea.

I hope soon i'll be because i am 22 but still unmarried because my parents are looking for a girl for me but i want love marriage so still not married.

I never understood the reason why people get married in the first place.
For what?
If I love her and she loves me, than why should we declare our love to everyone? Why should we sign a contract?
And you can raise children if you are not married too, what the problem?

People who get married are doing the same as the crowd is doing, with no self thinking.
