Well it can be one or both. There are also a bunch of other reasons I’ve seen but those two seem to be the most common.

I know. The worst thing is when someone knows that you have a good soul and then they go into your life trying to make you feel like they want you, just to like hurt your feelings

As a man in this age range, let me offer this insight. We are being incentivized not to marry. Not to mention the world is pricing out middle class families from being able to afford anything. It is clear that whoever is pulling the strings wants population to decrease. Men want to get married and have kids but the conditions aren’t right.

Why can’t you get married without having kids? And what is the incentive to have a smaller population?

It is financially infeasible to get married and support a family if you make the median income. Getting married without kids is unattractive to men, because it’s a huge liability with no reward. I believe it’s 54% of marriages end in divorce, so no man wants to get married unless he loves the woman, trusts her, and they want kids together. Just speaking honestly, I’d never get married unless children and having a family were the goal.

You are close, but taxes actually get better when you get married. However, expenses and liabilities typically increase heavily. The average sized wedding typically costs $20k and housing costs $350k for a median income. The median income in the US is $80k but most young people make far less than that. In conclusion, it’s become less viable to be married.
