Can guys emotionally commit and love someone for a lifetime? ?

Question

I know I've seen it, time and time again................. in the movies. But it seems it kind of hard to believe guys have feelings this day and age, or a feeling with dedicated love and commitment Give me your input guys! I know you guys can love and all, but it sounds almost foreign to me now.

Answer 1

LOL its rare but they are out there. I don't like to share my feelings but I do care about people.

Answer 2

I think its Very very difficult for the masculine gender to do that ..

its all in the movies .... nothing true ....

Wish it were true, but sadly its not !!

They might do it by force, jus coz they are married ...

and the percentage is very poor , even in that case !!

Answer 3

I think the problem today is that too many young kids are experiencing s*x. At one time couples waited until they got married before they did this and usually they were both virgins at the time, certainly the girl was anyway as her future husband would not have her if she had been with another man.

This kinda put them together in an emotional way as well as a physical and practical way. Women had their role in a marriage and that was to raise kids and keep "house" whilst the men provided the means to do this by going to work.

It worked this way for centuries, my mum and dad were married for 57 years before my dad passed away and they were not unique.

Its different today, men are kinda redundant in a lot of ways, as women today can have kids, get a mortgage, hold down a full time job, and still have time for fun and they dont need a man to do any of this, a woman can be artificially inseminated to get pregnant so there is no emotional tie to a man there either.

I think also that women have become the aggressor and now can chose who they want to have s*x with, its lost its meaning, it means nothing its the new "can I kiss you goodnight".

Women at one time relied on men, today they dont.

I believe in love as I have found it after many personal tragedies in my life, I never slept around and I never did casual s*x. I think a lot of young people are becoming celibate as they realise that sleeping with numerous partners before you get married causes problems emotionally and sometimes medically too.

Dont give up on love and security, there is someone out there for you that is your soul mate and when you find that person you will know that this is the one that you have been waiting for all your life and suddenly everything makes sense to you.

Dont sleep around, everyone is doing it and because of that it loses its true meaning which is to share yourself body and soul with your partner for life.

Answer 4

It has nothing to do with movies or stories.

Here's a real answer - some guys can commit and some can't. Some guys think they can and really cannot. Some guys are scared to commit or to offer love. Some guys have never been cared for, so they cannot care for others. Some guys have learned how to love from a stable and loving family, so they can love someone well. Some guys try to and fail. Some guys never try. Some guys try to and succeeed, then their partner fails. Some guys would like to, but they never get the opportunity. Some guys would like to, but they don't know where to start. Some guys get everything right, including who they choose to love, and they have other problems, like their car gets stolen. Some guys think love is not so important, and they go for big business and money. Some guys wait for it to happen, and it never does. Some guys don't wait, but they try with the wrong person. Some guys get almost everything right, but the girl blames them for the few things they get wrong. Some guys ask for advice, others do it on their own. Some guys rely on other guys for advice, and other guys can't figure out if they want to care for anyone at all. Some guys wait until after they get an education, and other start too young. Some guys think that in this day and age, love is dead, old fashioned or just plain boring. But the truth is love has always existed and some guys would just love to know how to get going. Some guys think they know it all, and lose the girl out of arrogance. Other guys are too slow and polite and the girl thinks they are a bit too tepid and disinterested.

Thing is... there are a million kind of guys and you can't put them all into one category like all guys are the SAME. Are all girls the same? You know very well they are not.

Good luck.

Answer 5

First you watch to many movies playing into a woman's idea of a perfect man and relationship.

yes guys can  guys emotionally commit for life.  Sad but true.  Real men who got it all going for them usually play around even with  emotionally committed guys.

Answer 6

i know its possible. its VERY rare that a marriage will last till one of them does of old age.

i personaly am not capable of that. its just who i am

Answer 7

There are guys out there who can commit just rare. I'm only 19 and have been lucky to found a guy who I know would never cheat on me. He talks about marrying me and having kids with me already! It takes time to find the one who can actually commit to you. The key is not to look too hard when finding the right one. When you stop trying to look, you end up finding a lifetime partner.  

Answer 8

Yes.

I know lots of guys who are committed..

Girls have a harder time committing in my opinion. Lots of my girl friends just want to have a good time until they are done with school...

Answer 9

yes its very possible. i just hopes she likes me back
