No, there are reasons guy's don't want it, like the drama a lot of women "create", marriage turning into divorce (never good for the guy, and can literally ruin the rest of his life financially - would you take that risk?). I mean, "fears" with GOOD reasons. Plus when it comes to marriage, I personally don't believe it's necessary to "prove" commitment. It doesn't "prove" anything. But also in general, women say it's hard to find a good trustworthy guy, well honestly it's the same back. I think even harder for us? Finding a "good" woman that isn't using us for whatever personal reason or gain. Bottom line, it's takes time to build trust and I thing guys are slower to get there than women generally speaking.

I doubt that I'll be in a committed relationship again. It's not because I'm scared of commitment, my thought process has always leaned heavily on the logical side. Since emotions are a large part of relationships I can have issues with a large portion of how they work. About the only part of a relationship I fear is once again repeating the mistakes my mother made, getting involved with someone that has serious issues. Logically the best way to ensure I don't repeat that mistake again is to be single and closed off. So that I what I'm doing.

Are there some men afraid of commitment, sure. Then again there are some women who are also afraid of it. It realistically boils down to the individual.

I'll say this much, if I was afraid of commitment, I wouldn't have been married almost 13 years.

I am not afraid of commitment at all... just ask my bank, they have me for at least 10 more years now

DarkWinterNights · Answer

Fear commitment as in marriage? Nope. I’ve wanted it all my life. However, what I do fear is statistics, divorce horror stories and losing everything.

Depends on what do you mean by commitment. For marriage - yeah, that's a huge commitment. For a long term relationship - not at all. Relationships are cool.

Men don't have a hive mind. Each are individuals with individual traits. Some men fear commitment. Some men do not.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Some of them, sure. But when 80% of divorces are filed by women, I don't think it's men collectively who have trouble with commitment.
