I would add one other issue into the marrage debate for young men. If you are in your early 20′s, you are highly likely to live long enough to benefit from biotechnological immortality (www.sens.org). Within the next 20-30 years will be a world of unlimited openess and opportunity for those who keep their options open.

This, combined with the extreme financial and personal risk of marrage (risk comparable to venture start-ups or oil wild-catting) make marrage an increasingly unnecessary venture for today’s young men.

The future is open for those who seek to keep it open.
