If men are too predatory, looks like none of us should marry one.

Ha ha. However...men reproduce a lot more quickly than women. Women have to go through a lot in order to reproduce and men don’t have to do much at all. I think it explains women’s relative caution and men’s greater tendency towards reckless abandon.
Traditional marriage was set up in order to civilize men and redirect those predatory impuses towards (hopefully) one woman and towards providing for the family. Traditional marriage will never be perfect, but it’s the best way we have of taming man’s impulse to go forth and multiply as much as possible.
