When men find the right woman, they can't commit fast enough. The woman who's a firecracker in bed AND is nice, sweet, and intelligent is the fish they don't want to get away.

You're still assuming that all men have no interest in marriage. There are plenty of men who want a loving LTR. Take for example that new member here who posted that all his friends in LA were already married and had kids by their late 20's. How does that figure into your "wise man's" theory? What about where Jet Jockey lives, where she's considered over the hill in her late 20's, because most women her age are married? If the women are married, they're married....TO somebody, a guy. I guess you think the wedding announcements page of all the local newspapers around the country are faked?
I never said "all men" don't have interest in marriage. I said most men don't, especially in 2012.
Part of the reason they wanted to get married in the first place was because of all the benefits marriage entails. Once men figured out they didn't NEED to put a ring on a womans finger for any of those benefits then it was a wrap.
Not all women will have sex before marriage, or live with him before marriage, or even have his child before marriage. But there's so many women now who will it offsets all the ones who won't. Thus decreasing what you can demand

yes the ones that will do anything to get a man ruin it for the ones of us that wouldn't. but hey, that's the way it is now. nothing can be done about it besides change yourself to fit what others want or stay or yourself and be alone, date less then others or however you want to phrase it.
Your links don't discuss the drop in marriage rate as having anything to do with men's preferences, they just state that people are getting married later. That doesn't prove anything. Women are getting married later because education and career opportunities have opened up for them so much. So what? What's any of it got to do with your theory that men aren't getting married because they're getting all the goodies without marriage? These articles don't relate to your theory at all. Try again.
No, not at all. Have standards (that dont pertain to status) and stick to them. Yes you may date less, but those you do date will be of higher quality. Its only high status guys who are.banging all of these women. If you are on a date and the guy is hotter than usual, or richer than usual, you are probably about to get.played.
I've never dated a 'hot' guy, or a rich guy. The men I've dated have been decidedly average or below average, and I've only dated one man who made more money than me. Those guys are still players and still have ridiculously high demands.
Hmm, by this theory, I would not have ever been married. I was madly attracted to my husband. Took us a year of just looking at each other, before we really "went out". We went out for ice cream. That cone was the best cone I ever had...and it lasted forever. We walked home, he said night to me, and went back to his place across campus.
He did not ask me to his room, and I am pretty sure he was attracted to me. I did not invite him in either...ah..the wonderful time of dating 40 years ago. It was so much simpler back then.
