    The power of pu**y has taken too many good dudes out. It's broken up homes, caused financial ruin, and made otherwise rational men lose their mind. We've all fell victim to it at one point or another. Eventually you have to learn that it has no magical powers, and stop allowing it to influence decision making. Hopefully this lesson is learned early before the pu**y takes too much of a toll on your life.

      Re: Why are men afraid of commitment/marriage?

      Most marriages fail because of financial reasons. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/10/bu...se&oref=slogin

      Most people in relationships have sexual relationships with other people - no link but come on. Most relationships I know have a lot of peripheral lovin....I am backdoor man.

      My conclusion. I don't "commit" because I have met very few people that have the same views about finances that I do (I don't really care about money or material things too much). So what is the point of getting married when 95% of it is a financial/legal arrangement.

      The power of the *****? Well mostly a lot of men think they are supposed to do things a certain way. Society is still in the 1800's when it comes to marriage and relationships....christ watch a sitcom....all about gender roles.

        I am not afraid of getting married. I'm afraid of becoming unmarried and losing half my stuff.
        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

          I'm terrified of this ish, man.

          I'm still young (18), and I'm getting pretty serious with a girl, but since going to University I find myself glancing way more often than not. I'm working a lot, too, and have tons of other things to take care of (basketball, sports writing stuff around campus, etc.) and I am already getting these guilt trips for not spending time with said chick. Like Ehh said, she's like a puppy, waiting around for me to finish with my business so I can tend to her. She's not in school, not working, or anything, and I just don't have the time or patience to deal with it. She's a great girl, though, very caring and considerate.. Nice looking, too.

          But damnit man.. Commitment scares the hell out of me.

            It's a stereotype.

            If I could get married to my gf right now... I would.

              Well that's you man! I'd say it's a pretty fair stereotype just like the one where "women are all crazy". I'm a firm believer they are and until one of them proves me different I'll change my mind.

                It may be a semi-correct stereotype but stereotypes are still something that you shouldn't follow on a daily basis, because you're just going to pre-judge people and end up causing yourself to miss out on things.

                Oh, if anyone cares, I'm 20, and I've been with my GF for over 3 years. And I can't wait to make her my wife.

                  Don't take this the wrong way...Is it because you love her or is it because you can't do better?

                  I think that's why some guys get suckered in to marriage, they feel this is their one SHOT and might as well be married then to be "THAT GUY" and we all know who that guy is.

                    Tell her to get a damn job or do something with her life! Eventually she'll get bored with doing nothing and that's not a good thing. She needs to be occupied. You just have to tell her that it's not a fantasy world, you want to be with her but if she can't pull her own weight, you can't be with her.

                    Too many times I've seen guys get back with their girls because they let their whole heart make up their minds. You have to think and feel your way through it. Using just your head or just your heart will doom you to keep failing.

                    I think the stereotype should be "all people are crazy." I know just as many crazy guys as crazy girls. I've read plenty of stories on here about guys getting screwed over by their woman, but the part we don't hear about is their own shortcomings. Sometimes it's all one person's fault but it is often both people's fault too.

                    You just have to find the people who are the least crazy and stick with them. Can't assume someone is going to be perfect for you because it's just not realistic. If that was the case, life would be too bland. As much as people hate all the drama of life, I think they secretly embrace it all. If everything was all figured out, what fun would that be?

                      Can't say I was afraid of commitment or marriage.

                      My wife and I lived together for about 4 years before I proposed. Being married didn't really change anything except that I now call her my wife, and the relationship is perhaps a little more cemented. But really nothing much has changed at all.

                        Aww, that's cute...all I'm saying is, if she's a good one, keep her. However, you're only 20 so if you can upgrade, do it.

                                20 years old? You're just a baby right now. I'm not saying that she can't be the one, but don't rush anything.
