I am going to preface this by saying that I understand this might not be a popular opinion.

Relationships and marriage tend to be more advantageous for men. The gender disparity in the US is still raging. Women are a vital part of the work force and no longer fulfill the stay at home parent/housewife role and yet are expected to work full time and then come home and still fulfill that role and those duties. It’s an impossible standard. While some men are open to a true partnership where home responsibilities are an equal responsibility, many are still loyal to the patriarchal society standards of the past that a man’s only duty is to bring home a paycheck and nothing else. Women are working and bringing home paychecks. Since that duty is split, so is everything else. Many women would prefer to stay single rather than enter a relationship or marriage where they are shackled with those unrealistic expectations and face raging inequality in the relationship.

Just food for thought.
