    Not so much. If we choose wisely, we can predict with a high degree of accuracy that the person is unlikely to take the easy way out. If we don't choose wisely, and simply run with hormones irregardless of red flags, we have only ourselves to blame.

    I don't believe that for a second. Sure, plenty of 35 year old singles might say they're not into marriage .. but the reality is altogether different.

    I think it's men who are demanding better. So all those 'not quite good enough' gals who would once have had no trouble finding a mate, are out of the game. They're still aiming high, but those 'high' guys are no longer aiming low.

    And of course, the more there is an apparent shortage of decent men, the more such men can be as fussy as they like.

    It's the other way around, now. Women need to start aiming lower, if they're serious about marriage.

    Plenty of twenty somethings aren’t Into marriage. Why do you suppose more and more are CHOOSING not to marry? They prefer living together in huge numbers.

    It maybe seem high to some people but it's actually pretty low when considering the standards men used in the past.
