Marriage? Oh c’mon!
I remember telling my best friend that I couldn’t see myself as a wife material. Probably it’s because I’m just 18, too young to take it seriously, too overwhelmed to plan about it, and too scared to think that I’m gonna be imprisoned by a contract of some sort “til death do us part.” I mean, I couldn’t even hold a good relationship together for a couple of months. And marriage? It’s like forever, right?
I remember joking about entering a convent to preserve singlehood. But nah, it’s not my thing to be a nun. Really, I know myself as a person who would avoid long term commitments, escape permanence, and do anything to live with no rules and limitations. Marriage means taking away my freedom.
So, I found this article on AskMen.com and I quite agree with it, with a bit of changes from the female perspective. 
Top 10: Reasons Not To Get Married
10 - Marriage will make her let herself go
Women gain weight because of child birth, but a recent study from the University of Queensland in Australia confirms that even women that don’t have a kid end up gaining a substantial amount of weight in wedded bliss. According to the findings, a woman will gain up to 15 pounds if she had a partner but no baby in the first 10 years of marriage. The study goes on to explain that there aremetabolic changes over that time so the weight gain can only be attributed to altered behavior. The altered behavior is not putting in the time and effort in their fitness routines and eating habits. Men are just as guilty for letting themselves evolve into a chubby hubby and this gives women a get-out-of-dieting-free card. She might look good now, but add at least 10 pounds to her frame after the wedding ring slides on the finger.
9 - Marriage is the end of options
Variety is the spice of life. Spice is also the name of the stripper dancing on your lap and slipping you her cell number. No more of that Mr. Married. Settling down with one woman eliminates the wide selection of women and the thrill of the chase. No more flings with a coworker, gym pickups, one-night stands, and no more crazy chicks. Crazy chicks make dating so much fun! Plus, watch what happens the minute you get hitched. Not only do a ton of potential bed buddies come crawling out of the woodwork like carpenter ants, but all the women in your life that you could have scored with start admitting a sexual interest, but say: “Too bad you’re getting married.” Yes. Too bad indeed.
8 - Marriage is expensive
Facts and figures released each year by the wedding industries prove that weddings are getting out of control when it comes to price. Last year, Americans spent $71 billion dollars on weddings, with each ceremony averaging $28,704. Most marital issues are rooted in problems with money (usually a lack of it), so it’s probably not the best idea to kick-start a marriage choking on debt from a wedding cake and a band that ignored all the songs on your “don’t play” list. Sure you’ve got two incomes, but now the questions about how, where and why you spend your money start to creep into the conversation. You have to explain why you spend the money you make like your mom is asking where all your allowance goes. When is marriage the most expensive? When it ends in divorce.
7 - Marriage is just paperwork
It’s perfectly acceptable to be in a monogamous relationship with someone you love and care for, but why do you need a piece of paper from the state or church? Marriage certificates are an unnecessary and potentially expensive formality just to share health insurance. If the two of you are happy with the current agreement, why rock the boat? Is it because of family pressures and the constant “when are you getting married?” questions from all the miserable people stuck in a marriage and looking to suck you into their black hole ofdepression? That’s so sweet of them.
6 - Marriage is the end of spontaneity
Married couples love to tell people they are still spontaneous. It’s like when people tell you they don’t take crap or that they are not someone you want to mess with. They are full of crap. Spontaneous people don’t talk about how spontaneous they are because they are too busy going places and living a full life. Married people have a diluted and compromised idea of spontaneity. They have spontaneous ideas that then involve months of planning, calendar juggling and last minute cancellations that become “we will do that soon”. They’d love to hop a flight for a weekend trip to Vegas, but that money would be better spent on the bills or putting money into buying a bigger house. Spontaneity also leads to a ton of compromise. Compromise sucks.
5 - Marriage is constant compromise
Life is meant to be lived — to experience everything before the long dirt nap. Hard to accomplish everything when you spend half the time doing the things she wants to do. Well, you did get to pick the activity last week. You wanted to go to go white water rafting and now she wants to catch a Nicholas Sparks marathon on Lifetime and needs you around to watch her cry and restock her tissue supply. Compromise isn’t just associated with small decisions. You’re going to have to come to an agreement on where you live, where your money goes and a million other choices you make just to make her happy.
4 - Marriage is the end of sex
There is still sex — occasionally. Those occasions are usually holidays, birthdays and every time she feels like you might be considering tipping your donkey in the community pond. It’s as bland as a sugar-free cookie. It’s always in the same location, boring position and ends the same way every time. Want to try something new? Not tonight. Not ever, if we are being honest. Sure, some women will experiment, but it won’t be a long-term move added to the routine. Those early days of screwing longer than a cordless screwdriver are long over.
3 - Marriage often fails
Would you risk your life on the flip of a coin? Heads you live, tails you die. You do have a 50-50 chance, but are those really good odds for even giving it a shot? Not as drastic or life threatening, but over 50% of marriages end in divorce. Even people, who are truly in love with each other and the idea of spending the rest of their lives with one person find themselves in divorce. If you fall right in the middle on the idea of marriage (obviously, you have concerns; you’re reading this article), how can you make it work when people who want to get married can’t even stay together?
2 - Marriage is the end of taking risks
Life involves risks – some that work out and some that crack you in the face and knock you back to the beginning. So what do you do? Take a risk and try all over again. This is fine — so long as you’re the only person who suffers from the setbacks. You can’t take chances when another person’s life, money, health, and future are in your hands. That would be a pretty selfish thing to do. Marriage means you’re keeping the best interests of two people in mind during every decision. Sure, it might keep you from making the leap into some pretty dumb moves, but it might also hold you back from pulling the trigger on an idea that will make your life better forever.
1 - Marriage is forever
Think about the person you were a few years ago. Now think back a few years before that, and consider how different it seems from life now. Now ponder the person you will be 10 years from now; you’re likely slightly similar but with many new tastes, feelings, emotions, and at a much different place in life. Is it really possible to think, or want, another human to come along for that crazy ride? No more risks, no more weekend trips to anywhere and all that compromise, money wasted and lack of sex for the rest of your days on earth. Until death do you part. You may now kiss the bride. Hopefully it’s “goodbye”.

10 Things guys should never tell their girlfriends
- never tell her that you watch porn, most especially if you’re having sex with her. it’s like a slap in the face. it would drive her to think that she’s not enough to feed your fantasies.
- never tell her how many times you masturbate in a week, for the same reasons stated in #1.
- never tell her about your past girlfriends, flings, or hookups, unless she asks for it. it would make her think that she’s being compared. whether those stories were supposed to make her feel good or otherwise, it doesn’t matter. bottomline is women don’t want their boyfriends to remember anything about the past. and oh, another thing, she might know some things about your past that you don’t want her to know, so be careful.
- never tell her that someone’s hot, beautiful, or sexy. it would intimidate or humiliate her. whether it’s an actress you’re drooling over or your closest cousin, she doesn’t care. she doesn’t want you to think of other women when you’re with her.
- never tell a green joke or a dirty anecdote to her. it’s for your guy friends to hear. most women are not turned on or humored by those things, so what’s the point?
- never talk about marriage if it’s still a decade away. if you’re not absolutely sure about that certain commitment, so neither is she. you’re just scaring her off or letting her hopes up by talking about it. the thing is, either way is a bad thing, especially if you’re uncertain about the marriage stuff.
- never tell her she’s pretty if you both know that she’s stressed out and having a bad hair day. she’ll just think you’re jerking around. the next time you tell her she’s pretty, she would not believe you even if you effin mean in and it’s effin true.
- never tell her how many fights you’ve won or how many people you’ve beaten the hell out of. it would scare the crap out of her. it might be a boast to your guy buddies but not for women. knowing that you know some karate or self defense would do, really.
- never compliment her outfit too much. it would sound too trying or too gay.
- never talk about things that doesn’t interest her. women try so hard not to talk about fashion, so please do the same about sports. if you can’t, find a girlfriend who adores the NBA and those sports stuff.
Ten reasons why most of my friends are boys :)
1. They don’t carry around as much drama, & if they do, it’s normally at a minimum. Plus, they tend to want to stay out & away from it anyway.
2. You can talk to them about almost anything & you can trust them with more personal things, & best believe they judge a LOT less harshly than girls tend to do about other girls.
3. They tend to listen a little better when you vent. Sometimes, they even give you a little better advice, because they see things from a guys point of view, not the point of view from “the bestfriend of the victim.”
4. They really do know the sweetest ways to cheer a girl up & make her smile, especially if they’re a bestfriend/brother type figure.
5. They won’t bother sharing your secrets with other girls, because they know it’s your personal business & they’d rather not get in the middle of it anyway.
6. They’ll be completely honest, & they’ll love & protect you like a little sister. & if some jerk ever decides to play you or break your heart, they won’t just tell you “He’s a dick, forget about him.” Best believe they’ll kick his freakin’ ass to back it up.
7. If you & some other girl are having an argument, even if you hate each other; he won’t take sides. He’ll still treat you both equally, despite what he’s heard.
8. They’re always down to just kick it, & they have the most interesting stories about relationships & embarrassing moments. Trust. (x Not to mention:
Boy’s point of view = great relationship advice.
9. They won’t over-analyze what you say & turn it into some ridiculously bitchy-sounding comment when that’s not what it was supposed to be to begin with.
10. They can take a freaking joke.

creative writing
Tips and tricks for beginners
- Do some short exercises to stretch your writing muscles – if you’re short of ideas, read the Daily Writing Tips article on writing bursts. Many new creative writers find that doing the washing up or weeding the garden suddenly looks appealing, compared to the effort of sitting down and putting words onto the page. Force yourself to get through these early doubts, and it really will get easier. Try to get into the habit of writing every day, even if it’s just for ten minutes.
- If you’re stuck for ideas, carry a notebook everywhere and write down your observations. You’ll get some great lines of dialogue by keeping your ears open on the bus or in cafes, and an unusual phrase may be prompted by something you see or smell.
- Work out the time of day when you’re at your most creative. For many writers, this is first thing in the morning – before all the demands of the day jostle for attention. Others write well late at night, after the rest of the family have gone to bed. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
- Don’t agonize over getting it right. All writers have to revise and edit their work – it’s rare that a story, scene or even a sentence comes out perfectly the first time. Once you’ve completed the initial draft, leave the piece for a few days – then come back to it fresh, with a red pen in hand. If you know there are problems with your story but can’t pinpoint them, ask a fellow writer to read through it and give feedback.
- HAVE FUN! Sometimes, we writers can end up feeling that our writing is a chore, something that “must” be done, or something to procrastinate over for as long as possible. If your plot seems wildly far-fetched, your characters bore you to tears and you’re convinced that a five-year old with a crayon could write better prose … take a break. Start a completely new project, something which is purely for fun. Write a poem or a 60-word “mini saga”. Just completing a small finished piece can help if you’re bogged down in a longer story.
