Summary

This quote suggests that men often marry due to a sense of weariness or exhaustion from being single and a curiosity to explore relationships with women. However, it also implies that both parties ultimately end up disappointed because expectations may not be met or the reasons for getting married may not have been fully thought through. It highlights the potential for dissatisfaction in marriages that are based on superficial reasons rather than genuine love and compatibility.
