I think in order for a man to get married in America, and perhaps any advanced western country, he had better be very clear about why he wants to do this. There are a lot of ways to risk financial difficulty, but one good way for someone with considerable assets is marriage. It's like climbing on a saddleless horse with no bridle. No real way of forecasting the outcome.
It's pretty much the opposite of the usual belt and suspenders attitude to risk found on this forum,
If a woman wants to be married, and you aren't playing ball, she will likely move on. Emotionally difficult, but at least no lawyers are involved. Also, last I looked there is no shortage of single women in America. Chance alone makes it very likely that at least some of them will be more to your liking than the lady you took a pass on, and not al of them will be seeking marriage.
