Yes, that is a possible theological rejoinder, taking worldly as synonymous with earthly.
Still, this is only to point out an advantage of singlehood. Please note that if everybody did this then the bible itself would be a lie... humanity would die out.

Well, only Christians would die out, as only Christians bother to follow the commands of the New Testament, and we know that only a few will follow that path anyway. I am not worried, because not very many Christians even can resist temptation and take that course.
As for the unbelievers, well, things regulate themselves, and that is the entire point. When women get desperate enough for a husband, they will begin to back off some of their more intolerable demands and do what they need to do in order to entice men back to the proposition of marriage. As proud as they are, nobody takes pride to the point of extinction.
