lets translate some some terms:

1. They can get sex without marriage more easily than in times past "Modern women are easy."

2. They can enjoy the benefits of having a wife by cohabiting rather than marrying. "My live in girlfriend will do the laundry and clean the apartment."

3. They want to avoid divorce and its financial risks "Modern women don't respect marriage why should I?"

4. They want to wait until they are older to have children
"Children are expensive."

5. They fear that marriage will require too many changes and compromises "Modern women are nags who will nit pick my life and desires but insiste I be supportive of their mood swings."

6. They are waiting for the perfect soul mate and she hasn’t yet appeared
"So many women to test drive."

7. They face few social pressures to marry
"Sex, is available. My live in does the cleaning"

8. They are reluctant to marry a woman who already has children "Men want to raise their own children, not her and some other idiots mistakes."

9. They want to own a house before they get a wife
"Have a house before marriage as protection in case of divorce. My house my rules"

10. They want to enjoy single life as long as they can
"Enjoy single life as long as you want. There is noooo rush it ends when you feeeeel like it."

Bottom line:
Men reap benefits of not committing from women's movement. Modern women repel men from commitment. Takes two to tango even if it is for one dance.

Men can achieve their primary objective without marriage. How stupid can women be?

That's pretty true biologically. Sex does drive guys emotions and motives. It's the way we're built. However, that's only half the equation. A roommate is not a wife, even if she's a very "accommodating" roommate. You can't make a "home" with a roommate. You need the defined and understood continuity that comes with marriage.

Believe it or not, the best way for a women to corral a reluctant-to-commit guy is to get him involved with kids (niece, nephews, Little League, etc.). He'll either realize what the secret ingredient to "home" is (wive+kids), and want some of that immediately, or he'll flee like a scalded dog. Which is OK, because women shouldn't date scalded dogs.

Men can achieve their primary objective without marriage.

If you think that the primary objective of men is meaningless dalliances, you completely misunderstand the nature of manhood. What you say applies to the sleazy minority, not to the noble majority.

Yep. Men can achieve their primary objective without marriage. How stupid can women be?

You might be talking about sex. A real man's primary objective is a stable family life. Smart women use to be able to offer this in exchange for her sexual regulation. I'm affraid this offer is no longer available. Where are the men? In the bars.
