I don’t know that there’s a difference here between men and women in not wanting to get married. The original article mentioned the “extended adolescence” of both men and women. Neither was willing to settle down right away. The author talked, in different articles, of what young men and women do with their time in their 20s and 30s. She suggests that men look less mature in what they do during this period than women do. That may be, but I don’t see that men are primarily to blame for lots of women not wanting to get married when they are young.
