It's about what men say, rather than what they do. The fact is,
there's far less opportunity for men to be gold-diggers compared to
the opportunities available to women, so the survey is pretty
meaningless.

There's tons of ways to interpret any results.

For instance, you could try this reasoning: Men are less faithful,
less interested in love, and less likely to think that marriage is
forever.

In fairness I did read an article in the Economist that reasoned that in our primitive days we were only designed to last about 30 years. So if we got married at 20 we had about ten years before the sabre tooth tiger got us. Yes we are designed to be monogamous, but not for 40-50 years !!

Incidentally the article went on to say that Labour is suffering from this. It's not the economy or Gordon Brown, it's just that we're hard coded to get fed up with the status quo and want a change after 10 years. Makes a kind of sense when you think about it.
