Why are men afraid of commitment?

I guess its cos they're afraid to get tied down & loose their freedom. But really the truth is if you find the right person you dont feel any fear at all. All you want is to be with that person whatever it takes. So in a way if your man doesnt seem to be willing to commit it shows the depth of his feelings for u.

Well, most guys feel they are threatened by someone smarter than them. Plus when they try to get some, they feel they might not be able too, because you aren't some stupid chick willing to do anything.

Women have this thing of wanting to believe the man will change and they can work things out because they want it to work so badly whereas men have the right thing in mind...They know that they would never be able to trust the woman and that it would bother them forever and it's an ego thing for men so they are able to walk away.\nWomen won't let things be over until they say it's over.

Some people do that because they may be afraid of committment. Others because they have a trust problem. They had bad relationships in the past. So they have a hard time trust their spouse. Or because they are stupid.

men have huge pride and authority issues. If they show their feelings, to them, it's like showing a weakness. Just because they don't say it doesn't mean they don't feel it. they just don't like to show their weaknesses, because then they're not manly anymore.

I think the main reason that people can't or don't commit to relationships is immaturity and selfishness.  They often want to keep playing the field or go out and play the field.  There is also the fear of being hurt and the fear of what a commitment to a lifelong relationship entails.  I think another problem is their not knowing what they want or what is best for both of them.  I had one friend who dated a girl for about 8 years until he felt that God wanted him to marry the girl.  That girl was frustrated beyond belief.  She had 4 other roommates in the house, including my future wife, and all of them met and married guys after the two of them had started dating.  It really is a tough thing to do since the onus seems to be placed upon the male to ask the lady if she wants to marry them.  Heck, it is hard enough asking a woman to dance with the fear of rejection!!! ;)

Men actually want commitment, love, and permanence every bit as much as women do, but they often act as if they don't because of "feelings of threat to their masculinity." Clinical psychologist Weinberg (Self Creation) explains that men, forced by a macho culture to hide their feelings until they lose touch with them, often cannot recognize or articulate them, and that it may be the woman's job to identify inchoate feelings dangerous to the relationship (his "gut reactions") and alter her behavior. He discusses what women might unconsciously do to trigger those feelings, including over-estimate their man's strength and fortitude, or compare him to other men. Men, Weinberg maintains, have four basic needs: to feel special, to "travel light," to know their partners are loyal and to "be close emotionally."

You're fears are justified.\nWith such changes in ones life, many guards are down.\nexciting new environment, peer pressure, other stresses.\nIf opportunity arises what would stop a person?\nHe may have all the good intentions to stay faithful to you.\nOther pressures may get the better of him.\nSo you have choices to make about how you will react etc...\nso don't leave the power to him\nyou are a strong independant woman.\nMake choices for yourself\nyou GO GIRL!

I agree with landoflook........fear of rejection. They are content, intrigued, but not enough to go out on a limb and complicate things. I think I'll just wait myself........these men may really be on to something.

Some guys will,but others are too "shy" to do so. They are afraid of rejection or seeming weak because they admitted their feelings. It makes them vulnerable and they don't like it.

Trust me it happens with older women as well, and not surprisingly there are some men who experience settling for second best instead of being patient. The root of the problem is while we want to have a successful career, money in the bank, a big fine house, and the 2.0 children, we don't want to wait until the right person comes along who feels the same way about certain things in life as we do. Therefore, we settle for someone far less mature and serious about life than what we had intended because we don't want to be alone. We hate being alone, we hate spending time with ourselves, we can't stand the quiet. For some reason we believe that it is easier to be with anybody than with nobody.

It's the thrill of the Hunt that drives most men.\n\nIt's like that feeling you get at the beginning of a relationship where everything is new and undiscovered. There's no bigger rush.\n\nIt's a shame men feel they have to lie though. A lot of lasses I know would happily go along with a fun night out and a bit of 'pash' at the end of it. Perhaps it's their fragile egos.

Men are not afraid of change. They just don't want to do it and you should not ask them too. Accept them for who they are and if you do not like it then find someone else.
