“However, getting married is mostly up to women, because women are the ones who choose whether a relationship starts in the first place.”

This is in reverse. Men choose if a relationship starts. Women choose if sex happens.

Totally agree--what I meant was in reference to the woman choosing to date an older man, OR finding her dark horse, because that's a decision she would have to make. Maybe I should edit that to make it more clear :)

Fair enough; that makes sense based on what you said after.

Also, the odds of divorce are higher for couples who live together before marriage, especially if you look more than 5 years out. IFS has written plenty on this; recommend you check it out.
