Here is a great piece written by tiredofit from the Don't Get Married Board. It will also get a bookmark.
Young men shouldn't marry... because they have their talents, dreams, and future to utilize. Women will marry young men as a sort of "down payment", a future retirement plan.
Old men shouldn't marry... because of their assets and wealth to be taken, and older women resemble mummies. Young women marry old men for the money when he dies.
Poor men shouldn't marry... because they will forever remain a wage slave, working, working, working, until the day he dies or retires in his sixties. If she divorces, he is enslaved to child support payments and often kicked out of his own house.
Rich men shouldn't marry... because most of the women will be gold diggers. During the marriage, she will siphon off much assets and wealth her way. If a divorce comes, she will take off with a good chunk of the cash.
Men with dreams shouldn't marry... because the wife will stomp on those dreams and say that your purpose on Earth is to please her. You should either be pleasing her or making money for her to spend. Dreams are for children, dear.
Men without dreams shouldn't marry... because all the pleasures you take in life, be it fishing, hunting, gaming, motorcycling, or football, will be diminished greatly if not removed entirely. Your hobbies become 'guilt trips' while your wife's hobbies become 'quality time'.
Religious men shouldn't marry... because marriage has nothing at all to do with being religious. Jesus didn't marry. Monks don't marry. Churches are not men's friends. Every church allows tons of divorces including Catholic Churches (under the skyrocketing annulments).
Non-religious men shouldn't marry... because you are getting married to the government. If you say, "That is absurd! Married to the government? Ho ho! I am married to my woman!" then watch how the State falls upon your head when a divorce comes. "But I will never become divorced!" Then you get to remain in the Government sanctioned sex program that is called "Marriage". What! You don't think it is a government program? Try having sex outside of marriage. You may get away with it for a while... until a child appears and you get slammed with child support. You could co-habitate, yes, but the state will declare you two married and then you become "institutionalized" into marriage. Threats to the government sex program, i.e. marriage, such as prostitution is attacked and removed at every point. And the reason why the "free sex" exists out there in the first place is for the women, not the men, which is why media and even men say that getting laid is 'getting lucky' as if women have bestowed a favor on the guy.
What does all this mean?
It means DO NOT MARRY. It is not because women have a self-interest in regards to marriage. It is because male interests in marriage have been legislated out of existence. In Church, male interests have been moralized out of existence (while her interests are extolled).
Culturally, you will always be seen as a loser. Despite the gain of fame or wealth, you still remain a loser... only a USEFUL loser. Society will re-configure itself so that women are right... always... and forever... If a law says women should go to jail for murder... well, the courts will say, "She was distressed. It could not have been her fault," and behold how the woman goes free. If a woman is in an argument, society and everyone will shift so the woman, in question, is right. If religion contradicts women, those parts of the religion will be left out. If history contradicts women then history will be re-edited so women are right. If Nature contradicts women (STDs, cervical cancer, can't have children when 40), it is declared a "social crisis" and scientists are set to task of "fixing" the problem.
Not marrying won't make you free and happy. But it will keep you from the shackles. You may think being lonely and single is misery, but it is paradise compared to the TRUE MISERY of marriage.
