Why are YOU not married? By Tracy McMillan, Huffington Post

Tracy McMillan has written a bizarre article in the Huffington Post in which she deems her thrice married credentials; first as a teen bride, then a pregnant one and finally an unsuspecting one (her third husband was ‘a liar and a cheater’) as adequate qualification for advising all women who’d like to be married but aren’t that the problem is them, not men.

In her own words:

‘Sure, there are lame men out there, but they’re not really standing in your way. Because the fact is—if whatever you’re doing right now was going to get you married, you’d already have a ring on it. So without further ado, let’s look at the top six reasons why you’re not married.’

Here are her reasons:

You are an angry bitch.

She says:

‘Female anger terrifies men. I know it seems unfair that you have to work around a man’s fear and insecurity in order to get married—but actually, it’s perfect, since working around a man’s fear and insecurity is big part of what you’ll be doing as a wife.’

Which basically means:

Suppress your own anger, no matter how valid, and pussy foot around your man, never confronting him about anything. (What fun for you both!)

You are shallow and not interested in a man’s personality.

She says:

‘If you were looking for a man of character, you would have found one by now. Men of character are, by definition, willing to commit.’

Which basically means:

If he isn’t ready to commit for whatever reason, dump him. He clearly has no personality and you are shallow for even considering being with him.

You’re a slut.

She says:

‘Hooking up with some guy in a hot tub on a rooftop is fine for the ladies of Jersey Shore—but they’re not trying to get married. You are.’

Which basically means:

Best wear a sticker across your forehead saying ‘I am desperate to settle down’ and at all costs avoid jacuzzis. What’s sex got to do with marriage anyway?

You are a bare faced liar.

She says:

‘(Don’t) tell him… you only want to have sex for fun! You love having fun sex! And you don’t want to get in a relationship at all! You swear!’

Which basically means:

As soon as possible tell any man you meet that you are ready for marriage and not that interested in sex.

You are a selfish cow.

She says:

‘A good wife, even a halfway decent one, does not spend most of her day thinking about herself. She has too much s**t to do, especially after having kids. This is why you see a lot of celebrity women getting husbands after they adopt.’

Which basically means:

Seriously consider adopting a kid now as it will increase your chances of getting married.

You have an inferiority complex.

She says:

‘Once the initial high (of marriage) wears off, you’ll just be you, except with twice as much laundry. ‘

‘For them (men) marriage involves sacrificing their most treasured possession—a free-agent penis.’

Which basically means:

When it comes down to it marriage is a commitment whereby a man agrees to have sex only with one woman in return for having his washing done for him.

But fear not, she says:

‘The bottom line is that marriage is just a long-term opportunity to practice loving someone even when they don’t deserve it. Because most of the time, your messy, farting, macaroni-and-cheese eating man will not be doing what you want him to. But as you give him love anyway – because you have made up your mind to transform yourself into a person who is practicing being kind, deep, virtuous, truthful, giving, and most of all, accepting of your own dear self – you will find that you will experience the very thing you wanted all along:
Love.’

Which basically means:

Marry a jerk and be a complete walk over.

WTF?
