So in that scope it makes perfect sense that men are reluctant to commit to marriage. For a young man, marriage has a hard time competing with the scenario of keeping a woman as his girlfriend for as long as possible. And for some woman, the same choice applies. Stay free! But one day you may find that time waits for no one, and that you missed that boat called having a family sanctified by marriage. Granted, it’s a boat that many people no longer wish to sail, but it’s also one that the laws have made less intriguing and desireable for those who wish to.
Can marriage come back, and with it the readiness of men to be more ready to commit? Of course, but probably not until the balance of power is addressed. Not in favor of men, but in favor of fairness.

I disagree w Moxie on two points. One, I think if one wants to get married, then she should look for “marriageable” men. Any of my girlfriends who ended up marrying had boyfriends who were “marriageable” from the get go. Examples are they didnt move the relationship at a snail’s pace, didn’t take too long to hit relationship milestones, plus the dudes themselves brought up the idea of marriage pretty early on in the relationship. i also disagree about the good luck some people have. sometimes it is just the randomness o0f the universe as to why one woman finds an amazing partner who also wants to get married and another woman doesn’t. I think the real problem is that many women see the guy for the commitmentphobe that he is and make excuses and waste their own time.
