"The Myth of the Slippery Bachelor"

Summary:

"The Myth of the Slippery Bachelor" by Belinda Luscombe is about a new study that explains how men aren't as afraid of commitment than women are. The study says, women want to be on their own and want to be independent, men are usually rushing into things like marriage and family. In mens choices of women, different races/religions are not a main factor. But further findings tell a different story, saying the attachment for men and women are the same.

Reaction:

Belinda Luscombe, author of "The Myth of the Slippery Bachelor", quotes, "the mechanisms for attachment for men and women are exactly the same. Just as many men want to get married as women do." (Fisher 52) It's saying that on the topic of marriage and starting a family, men and women are on the same level. It really just depends on the individual person/couple. For example, if you have different experiences with marriage and children, maybe your parents got a divorce. You might want to wait and make sure its the right one.
