5- You can build wealth
5.你可以积累财富

Staying single means not being forced into buying a 10,000-megawatt diamond ring (so your fiance can impress her friends with the huge price tag) or any of the other bloodsucking financial drains that marriage entails, for that matter.
坚持单身，意味着你不必硬着头皮去买天价钻石（以便你的未婚妻在朋友面前炫耀），也免得被婚姻慢慢榨干血汗钱。

And you won't be stuck having to regularly shell out for the flowers, more jewelry and the other gifts that a wife demands (it's like paying maintenance fees on a condo).
你也无需在鲜花、珠宝或是其他女人感兴趣的玩意儿上面砸钱（那些就好比给房子支付维护费用）。

By staying single, you're not legally or financially obligated to anyone but yourself. But once you John Hancock the dotted line on that marriage contract, she has you by the balls forever.
坚持单身，金钱和法律方面你只需对自己负责。而一旦在那张白纸上签下黑字，她这辈子都靠你养了。

You can take this money (that somehow spontaneously becomes "hers" once you get married) and invest it in important things like sex-drenched singles' cruises, buying cool cars or building equity in a house.
你可以用那些钱（一旦结婚，这些钱无条件转入她的帐下）做一些有意义的事情，比如参加疯狂的单身派对，买好车，购好房。

6- You can enjoy serenity
6.你可以享受宁静

Another reason for staying single is that being alone means peace and quiet. When you don't live with a woman, you're not subjected to her never-ending mood swings and emotional storms, or her blaming you for everything that she screws up in her life.
另一个单身理由是，你可以享受到宁静。和女人生活，你就得接受女人的喜怒无常，女人的火山爆发，女人做错事情却让你跪搓衣板。

And, of course, no fights. As long as you keep her as a casual girlfriend and not a wife, if she gets too uppity you can simply walk away, free and clear.
此外，没有爆发战争的危险。只要她是你普通的女友而不是妻子，一旦她让你不爽，分手就是了，一清二白。

7- You can keep your toys
7.你可以留着那些玩具

When you're single, you can hang on to all your fun toys -- that classic Mustang, the speedboat, the Harley -- all of which seem to magically disappear overnight once you get married.
保持单身，你可以留着那些有趣的玩具——野马车、哈雷机车、模型赛艇——一旦结婚，那些玩意仿佛一下子就不见踪影。

Your wife won't want you to have these things because they take the focus off her and she feels it's her money that she could be better spending on clothes and shoes.
你的妻子不会希望你留着它们，因为她认为，那些东西会让你减少对自己的关注，同时，她会觉得那是她的钱，花在衣服和鞋子上才更合适。

8- You don't have to compromise
8.你无须妥协

Being single means you don't have to constantly find a "middle ground" -- meaning, doing what she wants to do (whether you like it or not). This includes being forced to see chick flicks or suffer antique fairs and dinner with her friends. And you'd better toe the line buddy, or you'll have hell to pay and no more sex for you.
保持单身，意味着你不必老是唯唯诺诺，做那些不论你喜不喜欢都得做的事情，包括：欣赏你爱我我爱你的言情片，看那些老得掉渣的展览，和她的女伴们共进晚餐。你若不从，老婆很生气，后果很严重，有床也没法上。
