Final answer:
The decision to marry or not to marry is influenced by various factors, and it cannot be generalized that men would rather remain single. Cohabitation has become more acceptable, and the median age for marriage is increasing for both men and women.
Step-by-step explanation:
The decision to marry or not to marry is influenced by a variety of factors such as religion and cultural expectations. It is not accurate to generalize that men would rather remain single or that they have to be "trapped" into marriage. The choice to marry or stay single varies from individual to individual and cannot be generalized based on gender. In recent years, there has been a trend of more young people choosing to delay or opt out of marriage, and cohabitation (when a couple shares a residence but not a marriage) has become more acceptable. This may contribute to the decrease in motivation to get married. The median age for marriage is also increasing, with both men and women delaying marriage compared to earlier generations.
