There's a lot of conflicting advice out there about dating, relationships and marriage. The latest book on this subject to cause a bit of a buzz is by American author Lori Gottlieb. She advises women that putting all their hopes into finding The One is a bad strategy. They should settle for someone merely adequate instead.

This seems like sensible advice. However, even if women take it, there's still not a big pool of men out there who are interested in marriage. Huge social changes over the last few decades have made the benefits that accrue to married men comparatively small. And there are all those horror stories about them being heavily ripped off in divorces. Men - wary of being hitched at the best of times - are even more so today. It's quite an unfortunate situation, really.
