Why are men choosing not to marry anymore?

8. Some men don't want to grow up. And if women are going back to "being taken care of"...

They feel they have to "grow up" or take more responsibility than they want to. Same with some women. It's all fun and games until someone gets serious or pregnant.

Before anyone bites my head off, I said "Some Men".
And my BIL is a prime example. He and my SIL live in a Southern state, and he only got married when he got an minor executive position because that's expected.
He's just fine being married to my SIL (they're going on 15 years) so long as there's no kids he has to take second place to. He's well off. They can go travel - fly to New York for a dinner and a show three or four times a year, or go fly fishing in Wyoming, etc, etc... He always has to have the newest toys.
She works, so she can keep her own account for her own spending, and if she wants really, really wants kids, she's just enough of a "good wife" (they're SBC) not to complain that he doesn't want any competition for his fun.
I suspect it comes from being 4th of six children, mostly boys, in a poor rural family - he sometimes complains that all he had were hand me downs at the worn out stage that were always ready to break. Right now, life for him is good.
