load and be just as fast as the men. >> it's not that we can't carry the weight. we can carry the weight. but it's the pace. you're looking at our size. we have males that are almost 6 foot with longer strides and it's hard to catch up with them and keep one them. >> reporter: they do not think the marines should lower standards for women. on that point there is wide agreement. >> you have to perform. if you can't show up ready to go physically ant mentally we don't just lose a game we don't just not make a sale. lives are at stake. that's why this is so important to the infantry community and the marine corps as a whole for the next 20, 30 years. >> reporter: but the women say few would want these roles. they are doing it so those few will have a chance. >> it takes a special person a special drive, a special mindset to do it. there's not many of us. it's the same for the men. >> it's a sense of pride.

likely to want to marry? >> we think of marriage as something you do to become financially stable and something you do after you're financially stable. it costs a lot of money to get married if want you to do a big event. and i also think that people are wary of joining financing these days before staying together. >> are they having children later, or having fewer children? >> yeah we know that millennials are delaying child rearing along with marriage. so it's very possible that you know, they're cohabitating and dating saying if we're going to have kids maybe we'll get married then. maybe they'll get married later when they decide they're ready for children but that may take a while. >> is it the across -- >> i think we're thinking the geography rule. it seems like people are migrating to big cities. in big stays delaying having

kids especially in new york. >> new york is a place where we know it's less likely that people are going to get married as compared to like denver say. gender plays a huge role. not only in different marriage rates but there's actually marriage rates snowing i were to move from new york denver i'd be less likely to get married. so it's actually changing how i view it. and i think that really goes to show how much social norms play in that role. >> bryce covert thank you for being here. you were first married at 25? 26? i was 26. >> 27. george clooney certainly isn't avoiding married life. >> finally i just said listen i'm 53. it's been all me for about 26. i've got to get get -- i'm going to pull a hip out.
