Most men marry because society tells them to.  Being single doesn't
mean you don't get regular sex.

No, it's men.  It's amazing how much more frequent sex is before the
wedding.

You're consulting the wrong manual.  Most eligible bachelors don't want
for female attention.  Hell, most maried men could easily have sex with
numerous women.

No problem with that, but don't blame men when the demographics shift
and they're not in your favor.

Gee, this huge divorce rate?  Didn't it come along at about the same
time no-fault divorce came into play?  When women discovered they could
walk away with everything in their favor?  It must be, because your
little fantasy about why women divorce just doesn't hold up to even
mild scrutiny.

For sexists/racists getting their own way, it usually is.  The good
news is it doesn't last.  :)
