Its an interesting article.
You're right, the thought of a messy divorce does keep men from marrying. On the other hand, since its not hard to find a willing female to sleep or even live with you, why get married unless you're religious and don't want to live in sin? Guys know (or should know) they have all the time in the world (and the more financialy successful the more options they have).
Finally, I think both sexes have very high physical standards. Blame the media I guess, but if men go through life thinking that young women look like Brittany Spears, they will be disappointed if they can only attract the interest of someone who looks like gosh, who's a girl's next door looking actress Sandra Bullock-- ok she's an order of magnitude too cute, but you know what I mean.
Consequently the don't pay attention to someone they could be very happy once they just got past the merely physical (and I admit I'm as shallow as the next guy).
I imagine women do the same things (though perhaps the criteria isn't looks).
