Why men are not eager to marry?
88301
Women have completed their single lives way before men do. Women usually date more often than men do because it's much easier for them.

We don't. Its just hard to find a man that has those traits. After being screwed over by countless men some women believe that those kind of men are an endangered species.

ahhhhhhhhh. You're going to get reamed for stating this truth, my friend. :) It's MAJORLY politically incorrect. Even though it's the honest truth. \n\nWomen choose a**holes to marry, becaue they crave excitement and mystery. But, the qualities that attract these men to women, make them extremely poor choices for an LTR. but women think they can CHANGE ceratin aspects of the man, thereby having their cake and eating it too. In reality, the male will use the woman for what he will, them leave her when he becomes bored with her. WHY? Because he knows he can easily go find another. The majority of women WANT the personality traits that these individuals possess; confidence, arrogance, bad-boy attitude. And then the women will complain bitterly when they are left high and dry. \n\nNot all women are this way. JUST the majority. Conversely, not all men are a**holes. But the minority in both cases, seems to be getting smaller and smaller every day.

It is not necessarily just wedding bands.. anything that is evident that they are emotionally and physically unavailable. The women who are attracted to such men have deep seated issues that involve trust and commitment. At some point in their life they were either abandoned or were mislead in a direction that caused them to lose a part of their emotional stability to a point that now they avoid any attachment that could possibly become permanent. It is actually a fascinating study to read about, you wouldn't imagine the lengths that some of these women would go to to achieve non-commitment.

I guess its cos they're afraid to get tied down & loose their freedom. But really the truth is if you find the right person you dont feel any fear at all. All you want is to be with that person whatever it takes. So in a way if your man doesnt seem to be willing to commit it shows the depth of his feelings for u.

I think because marriage is the ultimate committment (or its supposed to be!). You're pledging to love and stand by your significant other for the rest of your life...its a big deal and it is something women have been trained to want and dream about!\nPersonally, I have no idea when I'm going to head down the aisle, as I'm currently single. I'm in no rush though, there are so many things that will be harder to do while in a committed relationship!

America has a high rate due to selfishness.  If the other person doesn't do it for you, hit the road, Jack.  Marriage takes commitment, work, and the sacrifice of your wills for the benefit of the other.  In essence, IMHO, if you are not willing to die for your wife, then you are not ready for marriage.  I love my wife so much I would be willing to die in her place.

Well, i'm not a man so i will never have a wife, and i'm not married, so its a dificult one for me, but i can say if i would like to be in a marriage where I make more money than my husband..... \nI suppose that as long as he is not broken because he is a lazy man, you know, the tipical man that never finds the rigth job, so he cannot take that, or maybe the one who is always changing jobs and is not capable to remain someplace, then i would't care about it.

Whatever the emotional reasons may be, the reality of the combination of modern economics and law is that a man is far more likely to suffer an irrecoverable and substantial financial injury if the marriage is terminated by dissolution/divorce.\n\nMost women will not marry if a man requests a premarital agreement waiving the woman's right to the man's property and support, so marriage, to quote a Caliornia appellate court judge, is a "high stakes gamble...", because the vast majority of marriages do not survive the lives of the respective spouses.\n\nUntil such time as the laws surrounding marriage undergo substantial change, marriage will remain an incredibly risky venture for any man, except in the occasional instance where the woman's assets and earning capacity are considerably greater than the man's.\n\nBut, of course, it is a rare event indeed where this last event actually occurs. So, men do have a very good reason to be frightened of marriage.

No. They want a steady man with a good job who will marry them.

Depends on what the man wants to get out of life. Could be that he hasn't found the one he wants to settle down with and in that case, being single for the right reasons would be better than being married for the wrong ones.

For the same reasons women do, they are selfish and unwilling to do the real work of making a marriage work.\n\nThese are not male or female traits, selfish people come in both genders

I saw on GMA about a year or so ago, that there are actually more men who want to get married than women.  Honestly, I don't want to get married.  I have a daughter and don't want any more kids  I'm very independent and really don't need a man for anything.

men dont see the world like women do ,they dont care for emotions much either, its just in their nature to want more

Because sometimes they do not want the guy, but they don't want anyone else to have him either.  Some are interested in him and do not want to admit it.

You can't "Get" a man to marry you until they are ready, or mutually like yourself, think the relationship is ready to take it to the next step. Think about it, would you want to force someone into marrying you now just because your ready only to find out later (after a divorce) that they weren't ready to be married?
