Are men who never marry or marry late in life afraid of commitment?

Question

Are men who never marry or marry late in life afraid of commitment?

Answer 1

Oh yes and all women who do not have children are immature and selfish. Give me a break. Some men do not find that special someone until later, some prefer a different path in life. In some cases it might have to do with fear of commitment and in other cases it may not. Unless you know the person very well, likely you'll never know. Of course, there is nothing wrong with not wanting to marry, have children or buy that house in the suburbs.

Answer 2

All men are afraid of commitment. The longer they go without it, the scarier the thought of it becomes. Kind of like going to the dentist.

Answer 3

I have a friend that is 38, almost 39 and never married. He is a great guy, just hadn't found the right girl...well until I introduced him to my friend. Granted they aren't married yet but I think they will someday. It has only been three months. I guess sometimes it is a choice, sometimes it isn't. sometimes we make stupid choices and date people we shouldn't for longer than we should, and we miss out on chances. But in the end I am sure it is all good and for the right purpose. The key is to live your life every day no matter what happens because we don't know when our last is. As for some guys I am sure some are afraid of commitment, but those ones you can usually tell who they are. It just all depends on the situation and the person.

Answer 4

I think some of them are, and some have just had a difficult time finding a good woman who wants to marry them.

Answer 5

Maybe, maybe not.  Maybe, like myself, they have seen so many bad marriages they don't think they would want to be in one.      

Answer 6

NO  not that important

Answer 7

Probably more afraid of responsibility and having s*x with only one woman. Nothing to do with fear, just pure self-centeredness.

Answer 8

Not always.  Circumstances will always dictate a person's life.  A person may need to take care of family or have a career they want to devote their time to.

Answer 9

It is a 50/50 rule.

Some guys simply like the rebel life and want to keep it.  They don't feel they need someone there for them every night.

However, some of us are just shy and uncomfortable meeting women.  I know I was when I was younger and if she (my wife) did not make the first move, I never would have.  Sometime girl just need to be willing to make the first move or be a bit more obvious that you are interested (when dealing with us shy guys).

Answer 10

Circumstances, timing, always meeting the "wrong types"- women libbers or also afraid to commit types, work, accidents, family issues anchor them down, educational goals,.  A lot had to do with the media and the health scares of  STD's, godly duties, being ruler of the world takes up all of my time, woman!.  

   And then there is the counselling of those who married early and are divorced and it is messy(and there is more than 1 horror story).  Why should I jump into the fire when everybody else is getting burned?
