Thats really a very narrow minded way of thinking. These days very few couples wait until marriage before having sex so your already getting th "benefits", "milk" or whatever you want to call it. Id say most people today get married because they dont want to have kids out of wedlock, other religious beliefs and for various legal marriage benefits.
But it's true, if I'm getting all those benefits, why would I get married?
The only reason I would is because you(the Girl) put some type of pressure on me and I loved you so much that I didn't want to risk losing you so I bite the bullet
That's happens ALOT in relationships.
Guys wouldn't get married if they could just "play house" with their girlfriend
I don't necessarily think marriage is the end-all be-all. So I wouldn't necessarily hold that over a guy that I was with. But that's only if I see that he's committed to me and only me. I'm not someone who needs a ring or a marriage certificate to have a happy relationship with someone.
Just so you know, "playing house" involves things like appointing health care proxies, setting up a will, sharing finances, etc. It's not just having sex.
I was living with my boyfriend for 3 years when I told him I wanted a ring. It wasn't about getting married for me..I literally just wanted a ring. He must not have been offended by my "request" because he proposed with that ring.

Exactly. "Playing house" makes it sound like it's not real. A long-term relationship, even without an official piece of paper, doesn't mean that you're not involved or committed.
Most women want to get married, a vast majority, let's be real
You stated 95% of women want to get married, yet of the women responding ~ 91% said no. How are you realistically supporting your made up % when an actual percentage of those "polled" shows otherwise.
Lets try facts instead of the world according to Brad. Thats real.
