https://www.today.com/health/reason-why-men-marry-some-women-not-others-t74671This is an interesting article about why men marry some women and not others. However, the female friend in the article is right. A man doesn't marry a woman simply because of what she does and doesn't do. A man marries a woman because he wants marriage. Sometimes a man picks a good mate, and sometimes he doesn't. ***Whenever I hear men complain about their ex(es), the first thing that comes to my mind is, "You're the one who pursued her and chose her. There were great women but you didn't choose them." Again, men are the pursuers so if they get a sour one then they only have themselves to blame.
Anyways, the link confirms everything our mother, grandmother and aunts have been telling us for years.
- older men who have been bachelors most of their lives are least likely to marry
- men whose been in at least one long-term relationship without marriage is a stringer and least likely to marry
- divorced men are more likely to (re)marry than never before-married men
- there is an age window when a man desires to get married
There are a lot more key points in the article. It doesn't mean that men don't want to have relationships. They do, but they just don't want the full commitment. However, a woman's biological clock is different so they can't allow a man to waste their best years.
