A short monologue exploring why some men pretend to love their partners. The speaker attributes this behavior to social pressure from male peers (including research noting men whose friend groups are married are three times more likely to marry), status/ego motives (pecking-order, proving masculinity via marriage and children), and limited emotional capacity or misunderstanding of 'true love.' The piece mixes anecdotal tone with a cited-sounding statistic.
