Men retreat from 'hassle' of loving relationships

I agree with the author.
But I think men can't say "please marry me." to women easily bacause recently mens' income is getting less. So they are hard if they get married. I think men can't keep money for date from a little salary if they use money for hobby. So men is getting to be not interested in women.
