Guys, what are your opinions on this?

That may be true IF the guy wants and intends to marry in the first place (many, including myself, do not) AND if there aren't any outside factors delaying the proposal - such as the cost of the wedding, or children, or medical bills, or an issue with the parents, etc. In other words, it could be true within a certain circle of men (and is definitely true of some of them), but it's outright false outside of that circle.

The big problem people have today - both men and women - is that they get into committed relationships with people they don't really know. They don't take the time or make the effort to talk with their partner about MAJOR things like morals and values, life goals, division of responsibility, marriage, children, careers, retirement plans, etc. And then, down the road when these things come up, they are SHOCKED to discover that their partner has totally different ideas than they do. How can you wait all that time before you find out these things? It's not like you're likely to change your partner's mind at that point, so it's your job to find someone who is ALREADY on the same page as you when you commit to each other.

I can only speak from my own experience. I'm not religious so marriage is just a piece of paper to me, a legally binding government contract to be precise. I only got married because it was important to my wife. It took 8 years for her to convince me to do it. That said we've been married for 12 years now. During our relationship I was never looking for someone better nor did I settle. I knew very early on I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life and didn't need a piece of paper to profess my love for her.

There can be numerous factors as to why a man or woman don't want to marry in the first 3 years. I don't think everyone even has the same feelings about marriage.

Getting married within 3 years isn't a thing, just sounds good because 3 is a good number. If the person loves you just take it for what it is instead of making baseless assumptions. If you really want to know then ask him what his thoughts are on marriage.

All complete and utter hogwash. Simply toss these disgusting non facts based on gender out the window and breathe a sign of relief.

We are varying individuals at varying stages of life, looking for different things.

Disagree. Weddings and marriage as a whole is costly. Most men ( and women) want to have stable jobs and be financially secure before getting married. So holding off on marriage doesn't necessarily means the guy is looking for better options.

[Trolloween]

I don't ever want to be married so if someone thought that then it would be helpful to know. But also I think it's true that married or not girls are always looking for a better option so it's a totally moot point to make

[spartan55]

Too many variables to say that's 100% true. I do agree that after 3 years you should have a clear idea if long term viability is there.

[worldscolide]

No.. I disagree.. He might be saving for a ring, he might be afraid to ask you, might not believe in marriage, he might be trying to make sure you are the right one.

Arbitrary dates and timelines are classic toxic female cancer nonsense.
My opinion is she should fuck off and let him find a sane person to partner with.

Three years of being in a relationship... With him?
