Do men marry for love or when they’re ready?

[FallonSamuels]

I have seen a couple of videos on TikTok maintaining that men tend to marry whoever is available when they’re ready to marry and most of the time it isn’t someone they truly love.

Is there any truth to this?

It's not uncommon for both men and women to be triggered by their internal clock, especially when children are desired. When they feel they are running out of time, they are more likely to settle for whatever might be available and open to taking that step.

I wanted kids, yet I didn't want them to be more than 40 years younger than me, as I questioned whether I could keep up with them. My son is a few months shy of being 40 years younger than me. He shared that he was a junior in high school before he felt he could keep up with me.

Yes, I settled to be with his mother, as time was running out, and I wasn't meeting anyone. I saw significant red flags from the start, but I foolishly listened to her words rather than her actions. Her actions never matched her words. Empty promises are so easy to give, yet we see and believe what we want to see and believe.

Unfortunately sometimes people do marry someone they’re not in love with. It happens yes.

People need to have standards though. As well as be looking for love not sex or money etc. But love. People wonder why the divorce rate is so high

I think a lot of men assume all woman are the same and that they don't have to invest too much time into examination before choosing someone. I also know men are obsessed with time and don't want to waste even more than half a year on a dead end relationship.

I definitely married for love but I really was ready.

I'd only ever marry if I know for certain she sees me as end game and is loyal + trustworthy.

I will only marry if/when a woman who is worthy comes into my life. I am ready for that whenever it happens, and am prepared for the very real possibility it may never happen.

Yes, I think most Guys would Marry for love because Marraige isn't usually worth it for any other reason usually.
