So what you're saying is, American males don't see the "incentives" as being worth the effort?

an increasing number of women who feel that marriage is the most important thing in their life

As an aside, there is nothing more scary as a man than being out on a date and realising that with every question a woman is asking you that she is mentally ticking things off on a check list of suitability. Not in the benign, subconscious, get-to-know-each-other way, but in the militant, premeditated, ranked on a scale of 1 to George Clooney, "How soon will he propose, and can I wait that long?" type of way.

Thanks for the reply and the clarification. As a man, albeit Australian, though I think there are strong enough social parallels, I can definitely see that point of view.

My fridge beeps if it's left open for longer than a minute or two. I just swear at it and keep looking for the leftover pizza I know I put in there yesterday. Now, if it gave me an electric shock....

There have to be some legal hurdles to releasing a product specifically designed to shock people. What, if any, hoops did you have to jump through in order to prove the device was safe?
