Lester, Margot (2004) “The marrying man” MSN.MATCH.COM, 12/28.

Most men are married by 30 and wait until 27 or so to get married. 20% will never marry. More than half the marriages are ones where they lived together first. Best choice is mail who cohabited once, not non-cohabitants or multiple cohabitants.

Men now want to be settled in their job, own a home, and can afford a “nice” wedding.
Those that don’t marry mistrust women from past experience.
