An analysis of today’s
society will reveal that more
people are taking their time
before shredding the cocoon
of singlehood. Men
especially, seem to be in no
hurry of sorts to become
attached for various
reasons, some of which
include:

ECONOMY

It is no longer news that
women get jobs faster than
men. As expected, men find it
convenient to delay
marriage, so that they can
be financially capable of
taking care of the new family.


PROLONGED ADOLESCENCE


As much as one chooses not
to judge the lifestyle of some
men, it is hard to ignore the
fact that unless a woman is
willing to put up with a man’s
‘necessary tendencies’, one
should be comfortable with
the refusal to tie the knot
just yet.


AVAILABLE DIVIDENDS OF MARRIAGE


Cohabitation, premarital sex,
willing and abundant ‘baby
mamas’, and other factors
which should be available
‘strictly’ within marriage
settings are now readily
available and less frowned
upon by society. As a result,
it is only natural that a man
wonders why he needs to
rush into legalising the union.


THE PORNOGRAPHIC OPTION

The popularisation and
cheap availability of
pornographic materials is
also not helping matters, as
the option seems a safe and
convenient excuse for some
men to remain lonely.

FEAR OF COMMITMENT

Increased divorce and
separation rates in society
also contribute to why men
choose to delay marriage.
Some men refuse to accept
that not all women are the
same, especially if they have
been hurt or have hurt
women repeatedly. Also,
others who have not been
hurt, focus on the failed
examples available in their
folks and close friends and
believe that the situation is
the same in all cases.

INFERIORITY COMPLEX/
INDECISION


It is especially saddening
when a man decides to sit by
and let his dreams of
marrying a particular lady go
by. It is equally disheartening
that a lot of women refuse to
make the first move. Some
men find it hard to walk up to
a woman, much less strike up
a conversation for reasons
that bother on fear of
refusal, wooing an ‘attached’
woman, sounding ridiculous,
etc.


FEWER SHOTGUN
MARRAIGES


Once upon a time, it was
taboo to impregnate a lady
outside marriage, else the
man was automatically
whisked to the altar.
However, the trend of single
motherhood and increased
use of birth control
measures has reversed the
shotgun trend. As such, men
find it easier to evade the
marriage tag.

FINDING THE 'RIGHT' PERSON

Men usually focus on finding
the ‘right’ woman, rather
than being the ‘right’ man. As
such, since no individual is
perfect, the problem of
settling arises.
‘RIDICULOUS’
EXPECTATIONS OF WOMEN

From costly weddings,
perfect honeymoon locations,
number of children, to
allowances for relatives,
shoe and wedding gown
styles, there is the tendency
for men to become easily
stressed with these
demands. As a result, they
may take cue from other
men’s experiences and
decide to take things easy.

SMALLER FAMILIES

The growing inclination
towards building smaller
families is also a contributing
factor to why men delay
marriage. Since men
sometimes want few children,
they see no reason to rush
into marriage, claiming they
have all the time in the world
to drag their feet.
