What are your thoughts on marriage? Would you / are you married? Why or why not?

It's a life imprisonment or a massive fine. Especially for a man.

I would never marry. I want peace of mind. I like the person I am. I don't want to change myself for any future spouse. How can you live with yourself with another person in your life without fearing prejudice from them? Especially as a guy formerly who used to always put on an image in front of women.... as a means to impress them. How can you live with them? At some point you have to let your hair down?

I don't think I can trust anyone in this world.... who is not my blood relative. Especially if its a spouse you want to impress.... how can you relax in bed.... how can you go to the bathroom? How can you sleep without worrying if your snoring is going to offend and wake up your bae.

It's too much pressure.

I want peace of mind. I want to be a free man.

Besides marriage would give me a lot of pain and attachment... something I might get addicted to and something that I can't live without once I get a taste of it. If she decides to dump you for another.... how can you live with yourself....

.... especially when you are a one-woman man.

There's too much in stake here. She can take away my kids and half my assets. Divorce cases tend to usually favour women. So as a man I think I'll pass on marriage.

I would love to marry if this was a perfect world. BUT not only is this world not perfect.... but it is imperfect and dysfunctional.
