Who is more averse to the institution of marriage--men or women?
The General Social Survey asked 164 white never-married respondents ages 18-49 would they want to get married if the right person came along. Twenty-eight percent of men said no, while only 13 percent of women said the same. The difference is statistically significant.

Many men have to learn this the hard way, unfortunately.
I personally think this all part of the plan of soft genocide and race replacement in the West. Cause disunion amongst the sexes: the birth rate goes down for everyone except the high fertility immigrants and proles supported by everyone else. Divide and conquer.
Quality of men hasn't fallen as much as the quality of women, so no surprise fewer men are interested in making a huge commitment to these low quality women when he can have several for no commitment.

ReplyDelete"Seven years ago the CDC conducted a study on people and their desire to get married. Do you know which gender agreed more with the statement, "It is better to get married than to go through life being single"? The men. Even among conservative protestants, the breakdown was roughly 68% men vs. 59% women."
The study is here.
