Why men marry some women and not others

Just a random post.
My uncle passed me a book to read and so far, on a sad record, I'm taking about two weeks to read this book.
Not that I didn't like the book, okay, just a little, but I'm not really into motivational, inspirational kind of reading.
The books I read are mainly mystery, murder kind. Where once you start reading, you can't stop till you find out who is the murderer and how he was stopped.
Anyway, back to the post, I'm almost done with the book (cause I'm rushing through it). But I found some interesting, some amusing points to share.

P.S. It doesn't and will not apply to everyone.

The book has 8 chapters;
1. The Marrying Kind
2. First Impressions
3. Women Men Marry
4. The Stages in a Relationship
5. Speaking of Marriage
6. Marrying After Forty
7. Widowed and Divorced Men: Handle with Care
8. Meeting Online

To the end of each chapter, they end off with a statistic summary of their finding.

For the introduction chapter;
If you wish to marry:
1. You must insist on it
2. If you find yourself in a dead-end relationship, move on.
3. Love yourself first.
4. Commit yourself to the idea of getting married.
5. Keep in shape, watch your weight, and take care of your appearance.
6. Time can be your worst enemy.


So far, I find reading chapter 5 most amusing. It elaborates about the different reactions from women when they bring up the topic of marriage and the response they get. And most of the time, the guys (kind of) get a big negative reaction from the women. The common response from men when the topic of marriage is mentioned is 'I'm not ready for it' & 'I haven't really thought about marriage'.
And through the reply, the women in turn felt hurt and read it as 'I don't love you; I don't want any part of you; I don't want to marry you'.

Personally, I found it quite amusing and left me wondering what would I say to my partner if he gave me such a reply. Probably the same dramatic reaction. Probably.

As what my uncle told it, the book is slightly bias as most of the researcher notes were from women, and not barely half were from men. Therefore, it leads to much of a bias point from women, instead of the main focus being from the men's opinion. Especially as how the title goes, it is to question why men marry some women and not others. It would be more beneficial to interview more men and explore the reasons behind it. Like they said, men and women are from different planets. A men's guide to women is plenty, but a women's guide to men are empty. 

But like all books, they serve as a guiding point, and not to follow word from word.
