Two incomes very often puts you in a higher tax bracket. What's so great about that?
That's an assumption but silly never the less. You can also assume you have the option of lower expenses per person sharing a studio or efficiency, discount on car insurance, easier and often cheaper to cook for two vs one, health insurance coverage through an employer that covers a spouse at a reduced cost or not cost vs two individuals carrying their own coverage

No. The supposed breaks and deals you mention aren't worth much. Even if they were, no.

That said, I think not every girl is eligible to marry for money, rich men like hot and pretty girls, at the same time they are looking for intelligence, that remove most women from the pot.
I said if you do have this chance of a very wealthy man wants to know marry you, i wouldn't put money as a top reason, it will be one of the major reasons.
OP, you're only looking at the good side. What about all the negative things that happen in life that can hurt financially? Illness, accidents, job losses, lawsuits, etc. You're legally tied to that person without the emotional tie that would make you want to help them through bad times.
Very good point. There is also the chance that the other person will lose a job, leave you, and you'll end up paying spousal support.

And there are some who will be alone forever because they are too picky.

I'm thinking of a platonic friend that you get get together and think -- if we share most living expenses we can both come out ahead. A business deal like any other.
You can share living expenses without getting married.
My answer to OP's question is NO. I can ONLY answer for myself. Back in the the early '70's I was asked by my parent's Why aren't you interested in "So-n-So"?.. He loves you dearly and is a good MAN" My answer was simple.. I also loved him dearly, BUT it would be like marrying my brother!! So life moved on and yep.. So did he, got married..as did I. BUT, OUR bond of friendship and respect never wained!! We kept in touch and communicated about our family and kids!!
I guess, in hindsight I would have had a grand life with a wonderful man.. but there's the not knowing the future when you are a young adult!! Also, have zero regrets really because we had a wonderful ( soulmate type understanding) and still respect each other to this day!!
