I forgot to add, “David” above touches on a really key point. Marriage for men has a nice *potential* upside, on a scale of 1 to 10, maybe a plus 3 or 4. But the potential DOWNside is a much bigger absolute number, easily a minus 9 or 10. A really good marriage can make you moderately happier. But a bad marriage is like hell, prison, and war all combined. For single men in America, the RISK of marriage is enormous, the RETURN is fair to middling. Saying no to marriage is like saying no to invading Russia in the winter.
