Even if Secret Agent Man had a terrible divorce, it doesn’t make his statement less true. Young men live in an era of free milk. Set aside religion/morality for a moment. Why should a man get married? Why should he pay for what some woman had been giving away free to other men? If you think there are many virgin brides walking down the aisle you’re kidding yourself.
What exactly does marriage offer a man that single life does not? All I can think of is the family/children/leaving a legacy angle. That’s nice. But it’s also risky. Because society and other women are screaming at wives saying, you deserve more. And any moment a wife can give her husband the I’M NOT HAPPY EXCUSE and end the marriage. 70% of divorces are initiated by women.
I thought it was higher than that, but you are probably right.
