Scarcity of Proposals Faces Men This Leap Year
A Feb 29 leap year prompts debate on marriage trends. Census data show 7.2 million marriageable men versus 6.4 million women aged 20 to 44, suggesting more men to propose. Women’s independence grows, with 17 million working and 5.8 million families led by women, while divorces rise. A New York lunch survey finds most men willing to propose if they feel secure, and a broker notes men typically propose when they like a woman. Leap year origins trace to Julius Caesar and Scottish 1288 law allowing women to propose.
