Why should I get married?

Modhu when are you getting married? this is FAQ in ever body's manual of life.
Most of them asking this are either married or about to get married, i guess they want me also to get into ditch ;-).(Just kidding guys!) I am not sure why I should get married or rather I don't know and don't want to (wish i could try it ha ha ha ha). Most famous reasons that have been used and re-used for generations and all sexes & race.(I wish Software engineering was like this,modular and portable ha ha ha ha ha)
1.This is the right age
2.You are getting good offer, you will miss them (yeah like it is end of year sale)
3.You cant live alone
4.You and your family can settle down, while you are still young.
5.You need some one to take care and love you. :-D
6.We all did this (like goats :-))
7.What will you do staying alone.
8.You will loose your mental balance, maybe turn out to be mad man
9.Get married for the happiness of your parent x-(
10.Your education qualifications are less than the girls.
11.Astrologers all over India have said that after first issue you will flourish like anything.
12.Because of you we are getting humiliated.
13.What will you read at this age, you are 28; get married and you can do what ever you want.
14.Maybe some of your friends are asking you to live like this.
and so on, well i remember these repeated again and again.
Well I don't think I should get married because the above reasons are grave and are of high importance just like whether India should attack Pakistan or not now.
Here people are getting married because somebody thinks that you have to get married. Like that is more important thing to do in life, like there is no life without marriage, like its the end of the world.Because of society said you have to get married. Even if you decide to get married you marry to whims and fancy of the society....prrrrrrrrrrr.I dont know if I will ever get married, but I will when I can say "You Complete me!!"

Hey Modhu,
I have also deliberated on this matter and have finally conceded. In my case the things that you have listed have played important role and probably make the majority. But I think there is one basic scientific (may be too scientific) reason behind it that you have glossed over. That reason alone was important some millions of years ago for finding the partner (now don't try to guess it yet, I know what you are thinking ;-)). Formation of society by the humankind has given it a more formal name and rules calling it marriage.

Let me not waste any more of ur time, the reason is Reproduction and Evolution. For any species existent on this earth they have only 2 basic req. (or specs) to meet i.e. to adapt to the environment as best possible and then pass on the information gathered in this pursuit, to their offsprings. The best method of sharing and propagating the suitable genetical traits is, by natural selection, heterosexual reproduction (though there are many species still existent with other type of reproductions). The humankind has also embraced the very same technique (otherwise I would have married you, darling :-0). Since humans developed the societies and rules around them to facilitate mutual co-operation and understanding, this reproduction and partnering business had to be limited between only 2 partners (terrible twist in the story! this ideology is still being questioned and fought against till date by few religions or sects). Over the time it is being called as MARRIAGE.

So if you support this very basic scientific reasoning (and humble cause) behind marriage then you can as well fall prey to it. The other contemporary (and temporary) reasons are only effects and not the cause.

Now stop booing, comment against it if you feel so or contribute to EVOLUTION.

Hail Darwin!!

Its really a straight from the heart comment reflecting a typical bachelor who has not been swept by the love bug :). But I would still advise you to keep on your track till you actually find someone really interesting to take the journey together otherwise you would only end up on a ship wreck. Being true to urself is a virtue and continue the same.
