What's wrong with you being wrong with me

I received a few, somewhat "odd" and offensive (imo) questions recently. Let it be the age, the season, lack of judgment and/or ignorance, or the actual care, but I realized I don't like to be asked:

So... When are you getting married?

It's like, seriously, what's WRONG with you?! Do you see that I have any signs that hint you I want to be married? Do I look like I want or am preparing to get married?

I mean, no offense to those who already are married, I think marriage is a wonderful thing, and I'm very happy there are a few good friends of mine who are married: Aya & Laurent, Gri, Lancy, Jennifer (who's also expecting a baby next year), and Drew (engaged). They are living the best times of their lives and I cannot be more proud of them. But there is such fact that, sometimes marriage might not be suited for everyone. Having the right candidate, the right timing, the proper financial fund and the deep, clear acknowledgment of what marriage offers are key factors to evaluate if the person is prepared to live with someone else for the rest of their lives or not.

Let me clarify this: I love weddings. I love ATTENDING weddings.
But that doesn't equal to 'me getting married'.
I enjoy seeing people getting married and live happily ever after doesn't mean I see the same things on me.
Having friends getting married doesn't mean that I have to tag along the bandwagon, ok? There are chances in the future (cross fingers), just not now. Not at the age of 25, uhm, I mean 18.

In any case, now that we're at this issue, let me point out a few things that I look for in a guy:
-has to love and respect my family and friends
-has to love animals
-has to stand me kissing him after kissing my dog(s)
-honest
-fun, sometimes spontaneous
-witty and articulate
-broad knowledge of many different topics
-be able to talk at random things at random times
-enjoy cuddling with me and dog(s)
-cannot be shorter and/or lighter than me (sorry, cannot avoid my shallowness here, plus, this is for the own good of the guy)
-living abroad experience strongly preferred

If you qualified the prerequisites mentioned above and are a cutie/hottie, let me know. LOL.

PS. Oh, and how I answer to this wrong question? If I'm in a good mood, I'll laugh it off, but if you catch me during mood swings, run before I bite your arm off.
