Are men more likely to not want to marry someone because their partner doesn’t fit into their preferences?

[Anonymous]

Like for example a guy preferred his partner to be bare down there but she doesn’t like the idea of going bare so she keeps it natural. Does that mean he will break up with her over it since it’s not what he preferred? I think guys are more likely than girls to break up with someone who doesn’t appeal to their preferences because I think most girls don’t mind. To me even if he never fit into my preferences I wouldn’t break up with him but I’m more likely to break up with him if I didn’t fit into his preferences because in the long run he will be very unhappy in the relationship

I can’t speak for all men but as for myself. It depends. You have critical preferences and minor preferences. For many guys if she doesn’t shave down there it would be fine, but for me, it literally turns me off every time. Not something I can get use to or change. Which would then mean we’d have to plan every time we wanna have sex, and I’m sure you can see the problem with that.
But on the other hand, if she likes to walk around the house with messy hair, I may not like it at first but it’s not major, because it doesn’t lead to anything drastic for me🤷🏾‍♂️.
All depends on whether the preferences are critical or not. Not all preferences warrant the end of a relationship.

[Dchrls78104]

I wouldn't date, let alone marry, a girl who doesn't fit my preferences, which are:
1. A nonsmoker who doesn't drink or do drugs.
2. A respectful woman with a good temper who isn't aggressive or controlling.
3. A natural born and fully heterosexual adult female who makes only straight friends.
4. A girl who sees people according to God's Word and is not racist or feminist.
5. A modest women who dresses tastefully and never wears thongs and never tattoos or pierces the body.
6. An honest, faithful, loyal woman who is always transparent with me.
7. Someone who is totally single and has completely gotten over any ex (ideally, a virgin).
8. A simple, down to earth girl who supports me and likes me for who I am and not what (she thinks) I have.
9. A decent, law abiding Christian girl who mixes only with same.
10. A slender girl who is at least 5'0" in height.

Men are so much more unreasonable than women! If only we could all be women!

[slatyb]

No, that's too shallow. But some men will stay in a relationship for years with a woman they know they have no intention of marrying. If you want to be married: 1) when you meet a man tell him you are dating to find a husband. You don't expect to be married in six months but won't wait forever. 2) Don't wait forever. If it's been long enough and he won't, then end it so you can find someone who will.

Yes, standards are important for men and that is a good thinking, after it is the question of love and marriage.

How strict they are with their standards are subjective to each guy. Some men are very strict and will not settle for anyone less than that even if they have to remain single for life.

Some men are flexible with their standards and are willing to make some adjustments, compromises. However, overall yes standards are important for men.

[jackderby_01]

Not at all. At least where I stay it is opposite. Women are the ones who have huge list of preferences like the guys should be tall, he should like dogs, etc. Guys preferences are lile she should be a girl, she should be alive, etc. But generally here men dont have that many preferences. Personally I like someone who is active smart and social and takes care of herself

[Anonymous]

I believe it is not only men who have preferences in regards to the partner but women also have preferences they don’t prefer in men or in their partner as well. The women want men well groomed as well and dress appropriately and stuff. We all try to change each other in someway or another to fit our needs and desires. Why do we go searching for a partner who will match our preferences in life? So we’re happy with the person. If we didn’t want certain things and just go for the first thing or person you see when ready to date I would be with someone instead of still being single and always getting rejected. You both have to compromise and talk about things with the person and help them understand instead and be straightforward with people.

[TheFlak38]

Not true. The bast majority of men today will compromise on nearly everything to get married and avoid loneliness. Even if the woman in question is obviously manipulating him to lock him down using and is definitely not marriage material. Look at the majority of marriages today. It's all beta marriages with idiotic desperate guys picking the worst women possible. A few years later they sit alone in a tiny dark apartment, depressed, thinking about how ruined their life is.

[Floppy2112]

If you're guy is that shallow, it's best to break up. The absolute number one thing guys want from women is for women to be nice to them. That's it. Just be nice. Don't argue, bitch, moan, complain all the time. You can shave your pussy or have a jungle, just be a place of peace for that man and you will keep the good ones.

[Madhatter920]

No, not over something so minor, I don't think. People can be picky, sure, but I think that's something you get over as you get a little older and you realize that no one is perfect and those expectations are unrealistic.

[The_Maphio]

That is most likely never gonna be a reason for a dude to refuse marriage.
Some habits that would be awful on a daily basis or the simple fact taht they might not want such a tight shackle are the most likely reasons.

[FilmGuy93]

No, it's actually been quite well documented, but women are far more likely to reject men for not meeting small preferential things than the other way around.

[Ripper_E]

I don't think so. There is a difference between a preference and what I won't tolerate.
It depends on what it is.
In the case of her being bare or hairy. I would marry her regardless of which she likes.

[Anonymous]

Guys at your age may be picky because they are not serious about long term relationships. Any mature male or female that is so superficial as to reject you is doing you a favour. Long term commitment requires much more tolerance to make it work.

[HugoThe2nd]

I definitely would let go off someone who doesn't fit my preferences.
There are others who will, so why go with someone who doesn't?
Seems silly to me.

[Asker]

But what if he’s the right guy for me wouldn’t it be a waste for me to let go?

[HugoThe2nd]

I mean, someone's grooming habits is stuff you should know about long before knowing whether they are "right" for you, it's basic information.

Of course, if someone I've been dating for a while used to groom but suddenly they have decided to stop shaving knowing I won't like that, that would be a dick move but I wouldn't drop them just because of that.

But if I'm talking to a girl and she already starts going on about how she doesn't want to shave... well yeah, she isn't getting a date out of me.

[Ironic_Method]

I think in any good relationship communication about preferences and what each other likes is important and most of the time compromises can be reached.

[Twalli]

I wouldn't break up with her for something like that. Like I prefer it trimmed or bare down there. My girlfriend had a full bush at the beginning. I didn't mind too much. It is her body and ultimately her choice

[Anonymous]

Dont worry about little stuff. It is more likely that he will break up with her because she is a feminist SJW, Woke or leftist. If he breaks up with her for those reasons then he is doing both of them a favor

[putthefootdown]

I guess it does matter to some men. Not regarding your specific, but only speaking about me, i am a guy like that who has specific wants in a woman, and women can be the same in their own ways. And so yeah, that's my answer.

[RationalMale]

I think bigger preferences matter. Such as if the guy really prefers fit women but the girl is about 40 pounds overweight, that could be a problem.

Going all natural bush vs shaved or trimmed might impact sex life or how often she gets head.

[TheSpaceGnome]

It depends on the specific preferences involved, and which ones, if any, that a person will bend on.

[COMMODOREII]

He shouldn't have gotten that far in the first place.
