I think you may have misunderstood my original and subsequent statements. Marriage and long-term commitment/companionship/bonding/etc. are different concepts, the latter of which can be attributed to behavioral genetics. My comment was a generalization that heterosexual women are naturally marriage-conscious, again, whether in the grand ceremony or long-term mutually-exclusive sense, and you merely assumed I meant the former when I had used two examples of clearly short-term relationships for a heterosexual male and even after I mentioned the role of genetics.
It all seems a bit pedantic and I'm not sure why I have to explain in great detail a ribbing comment that was clearly intended for someone other than you, but then I believe you're (French?) Canadian so I'll just assume that explains it.
I give your study F, too many grandiloquent claims. I like how you see two possibilities; being obsessed by marriage and "free love of the 70s". As for the "genetics" thing, WTF does that even mean, you saw any married chimps lately? Marriage is relevent to anthropology not genetics...
