What if there is only an illusion of choice? The article nicely argues about the advantages and drawbacks of a lifestyle centered around collecting experiences. And that way, experience is presented as the alternative to getting married early. But as one of the examples in the article so eloquently points out, marriage might not be among the options offered to you. If your character is too annoying, you'll be shown the door (called One Man's Thrash in the article). If the guys that you would marry don't want to marry you, then "collecting experiences" is your only choice. Which would turn the question into: do you regret having an unpleasant character when you were young?
