Women probably should

| My advice is this: Settle! That�s right. Don�t worry about passion or intense connection. Don�t nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling �Bravo!� in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It�s hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who�s changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.) |
Men probably shouldn't

This is how you come to the Eligible-Bachelor Paradox, which is no longer so paradoxical. The pool of appealing men shrinks as many are married off and taken out of the game, leaving a disproportionate number of men who are notably imperfect (perhaps they are short, socially awkward, underemployed). And at the same time, you get a pool of women weighted toward the attractive, desirable "strong bidders."
Where have all the most appealing men gone? Married young, most of them�and sometimes to women whose most salient characteristic was not their beauty, or passion, or intellect, but their decisiveness. |
It is good to be male. |
