I would say today’s men (and women, for that matter) in general are more like rats. They only push a lever so they can get the food. If the reward doesn’t come rather instantly, or in the way they expect or demand, then they won’t run the maze.
Men, on the other hand, run the maze for the personal challenge and growth that it gives them. Men and real women enter marriage not to directly address their own benefits, but to create a family which is more than just the sum of its parts (whether or not that family has children). After hard work (and smart work) the family can be a success, and benefits rain down on the parties involved.
IMHO, rats run the rat race, while men and women deal in humanity.
