50 Hilarious Reasons Why Women Should Definitely Not Get Married

Happy woman

As a single woman I am constantly told about how AMAZING marriage is and hounded about when am I getting married? Something about time running out. But staying single to me, is the better and far more funner (Yes I know that is not good English) option.
