Actually, one of the first "adult level" movies I saw as a kid, was a male-fantasy about a guy not marrying. A Jack Lemon comedy, called "How to Murder Your Wife." it had all the silly ideas, such as that because he HADN'T married, Jack's character could afford to live in a fancy penthouse apartment with a live-in butler, go out every other night carousing and getting plastered, have "girl" after "girl" over for the night (I put "girl" in quotes, because they were in their thirties, as I recall).
