Why Are Guys So Afraid To Commit? by Diva20(f): 4:42pm On Mar 19, 2010
You say like her, she says she likes you, you both go out. She meets your friends and you meet hers. You both engage in sexual activities, you like it but basically you don't want to put a ring on it. What is the point of dating and then falling in love, then call it quits for some odd reason? What are you afraid of?

Guys like to be able to do the same thing with 20 more females and half the time, they are not really in love.

I agree, but then why waste her time letting her think you're in love? Just let her know what you want up front. If you want sex tell her, you might not get it but at least you're being honest.

A real man will commit if he finds d right woman. . .
Re: Why Are Guys So Afraid To Commit? by Moyola(f): 5:08pm On Mar 19, 2010
Well, a gurl should knw whatzup from d start rather than engaging in all. . . n expect d guy to pop d commitment qweshun later on. . such will only hasten d decision of a guy already suffering from 'commitmentphobia'! tongue

Buh d thing is if yu r d 1 he wanz. . .he'll commit!

Commitment= paying a king's ransom for 'something' another goat would sooner or later 'do' for free. Whats the sense in that?

Show me the one LOYAL female that's worth committing to and i'll put a (diamond) ring on it right away.
Re: Why Are Guys So Afraid To Commit? by omega25red(m): 5:21pm On Mar 19, 2010
dating is just that "dating" you can date fall in love have sex and meet the friends but what else are you doing to make sure the initial mutual intrest stays the same?
honestly though (poor excuse) men are wired to look for the newest and freshest girl because no matter how hot you look no matter how good your bed game is and all the other stuff our mind is always on what the next hot girl can do.

You wouldn't find one with that thinking.

It's more honorable to say you're looking for a friend with benefits than to lead her on.
Re: Why Are Guys So Afraid To Commit? by iice(f): 5:28pm On Mar 19, 2010
I don't see why you have to put a ring on it because you're dating or in love.  Sure it's the usual route but not everyone is lucky to be on that route.  Like ebonyeyes, i prefer to have it laid out.

You shouldn't just be in it for the bed game though . . . that's how you get STDs. Hardly the point though, if you are the type to move on when you feel like like there's nothing new, let her know up front. Often times when guys see a woman "playing hard to get", most times all she's just afraid of being hurt again.

Yeah that's what I said, I'd rather you tell me, I'm only here for the sex and that's it than tell me you love me and later, break up with me for no good reason after you've got it. If you are going to tell me you love me, you have to be committed.

Love is the price a man pays for sex
sex is the price a woman pays for love.

If only all women would collaborate and deny them intimacy, trust me they would put a ring on our fingers grin grin
Re: Why Are Guys So Afraid To Commit? by Girl846(f): 5:46pm On Mar 19, 2010
No offense,
There is a popular saying:
"Why buy the cow when the milk is free?"
Guys sometimes don't see the point of committing to a girl when they can get all the 'milk' they need without committing. They have nothing more to gain by committing to you because you have already given them 'everything'. Committing will only add pressure to them. They like things easy.

Everyone knows that with the way world runs, sex does not equal love.
"giving it up" will never assure you of a man's love. (Its sad but thats just the way it is)

But yes, as many people have already stated, They will commit if you are the 'one'.

Got what? the sex?
Men usually want the sex. . .women want to be loved. Men don't have to say it to get it, women shouldn't let men think they need to say it, to get it.

True or false @ the men. Have you not had the 'Tell me you love' during sex? i scatter laugh after i heard that. . . women are as much the culprits. They feed the men what the men can use on them.

women and their skin deep thinking. Always (subconsciously?) deceitful. So you mean sex is nothing to women? That they only do it reluctantly to satisfy men? What nonsense. So why do they say they want a 'stud'? Why lust after a konk supplier of a thing you claim not to like? Just like me saying ishiewu is bitter but i proceed to order a jumbo mortar! If women want 'love' and not intimacy then impotent men ought to be da bomb for y'all! There're a few impotent men out there, why not get one as a committed lover?

Part of this grand deceit is why you girls feel intimacy should be your only 'contribution' in a relationship, like you dont enjoy it.

**worst of all they'll deny a genuinely committed lover-boy of sex and give it to another ruud boy**

every girl want men to be committed to her. but they never take time to ask them self if they worth it.  commitment is not something u can just do because a man and a woman find them self on top of the bed and satisfied them self. from there they think they have loved each other. so there for they can commit to each other. someone need time to study the parson he or she want to be committed to, so that u will not use ur hand to bring snake into ur house to bite u.
Re: Why Are Guys So Afraid To Commit? by Krissykriss(m): 8:24pm On Mar 19, 2010

I am going to play devil's advocate here.

Why does putting a ring (commitment) have to be part of the package? Why can't it just stay and continue at "You say like her, she says she likes you, you both go out. She meets your friends and you meet hers. You both engage in sexual activities."?
