AskMen.com cranks the douchebag to 11 with anti-marriage list

The Daily Beast recently linked to an article from AskMen.com that gave readers 10 Reasons Not To Get Married. As a young married woman this instantly piqued my curiosity.

There are certainly thousands of reasons why someone should or should not get married. It is a serious commitment. This list, however, seems to be more of an adult-adolescent's guide to why being a dude is awesome and how chicks are totally there to be played with and tossed aside when finished. While most may read this as comically misogynistic as an entire issue of Blender, I still have things to say.

Here are their conclusions for why Men should not tie the knot:

Marriage is Forever
Here's the thing -- everyone knows that! Sure, people may regret it afterwards, but it's not like that whole "Death do us part" line is ambiguous.

Marriage is the End of Taking Risks
Committing to someone is an incredible risk, a risk of being exposed as the person you really are, lousy personality and all. If you really think taking risks only means jumping out of airplanes or running off to Paris at a moment’s notice then you’re missing the point.

Marriage Often Fails
Ask yourself this question: Am I getting married for other people's reasons? Am I getting married because my friends are? Am I getting married because I’m scared of being alone? These are things to think about, not put you off the whole marriage business altogether.

Marriage is the End of Sex
Are you getting this nugget of wisdom from clinical studies or Jay Leno's monologue?

Marriage is a Constant Compromise
Wow. Are you really that selfish? Then yeah, it's better for everyone if you stay single.

Marriage is the End of Spontaneity
Okay, first off not everyone has a desire to be spontaneous. Nor should they. Second, there’s a time and season for everything. If you want to have offspring then you probably will lose a lot of your spontaneity. It’s called growing up.

Marriage is Just Paperwork
Well, that piece of paper comes in handy when you or your wife is in the emergency room.

Marriage is Expensive
Weddings are notoriously expensive, but it's not a requirement. Expectations vs. Reality vs. Honesty = Compromise. Oh, wait, you said you never want to compromise...

Marriage is the End of Options
Options =  Uncommitted sex. You’re right; if you want to bang any chick that crosses your path,

Marriage Will Make Her Let Herself Go
Oh no, and here you are, a beacon of health. Listen buddy, see if you can do ten sit-ups before you start worrying about this. And if you can, and you're really that worried, maybe you can learn how to cook.
