Well, this seems reasonable. I'm not a guy but that last point was probably the closest I'd ever get to understanding a guys situation.

Maybe he doesn't want to marry because if the marriage fails he gets the chance to be financially destroyed by her and his children stripped from him. Just a consideration. I have no desire to get married much less have kids with a woman for these reasons alone. Why set myself up for such a thing? The vast majority of divorces are initiated by women... surprise surprise... so again, why bother taking that risk? There's absolutely no incentive for a man to get married... PLENTY of incentive for a woman to get married, however.... and that incentive is the opportunity to destroy the man she decides to collecy child support from (even if it's not his kid... and yes, this has happened before... several times.)

As a man, if I proposed to my girlfriend of two years, just to see her in a bikini in Aruba....I think that would be for the wrong reasons, you know? A lot of my friends who haven't proposed are not mature enough to be married (and they're near 30!), and forcing them into anything would inevitably become a disastrous situation. I do agree on the proposal thought, however, as many men hear their girlfriends talk about the "perfect" proposal, and feel like it's a competition amongst women.

ummm...you forgot the biggest one of all... If you are used up, damaged goods, then he won't waste his time committing to you. I know I will be attacked for speaking the truth, but it is just that and attacking me won't change it.

Lisa, the first poster, hit the nail squarely on the head. The reason most men don't propose is simply because they don't NEED to anymore. Every other woman in this country is willing to spread her legs after a $30 meal. There is no chase, no courtship, no mystique. Truly a case of "why buy the cow when the milk is free."

Men are sick of being fleeced in divorce court. It's as simple as that.

men don't propose because they have everything to lose financially and nothing to gain. For a woman if it works out, it's great and if it doesn't she gets to "take him for all he's worth!" For a guy if it works out it's great, but if it doesn't he loses everything. If a man has anything it is too much of a risk.

The only thing she got correct was that men like to be prepared to raise a family which is often the reason for marrying at a fairly young age (20s). Now and days, men and women are going to grad school and traveling in their 20s and they end up looking for the marriage route in their 30s. If a guy isn't getting married by 40 at least once chances are he/she isn't needing the committment to be fulfilled in life.

WHY ARE ALL THE YAHOO! COVER STORIES ABOUT "UNDERSTANDING THE MAN", "DISCOVERING HOW A MAN SPEAKS", and "WHY HE WON"T CALL YOU BACK". THIS IS SO BIASED. HAVE SOME ARTICLES ABOUT UNDERSTANDING WOMEN, THEY ARE THE HUMAN VERSION OF A PUZZLE!!

This comment is from a guy too. Some women are really naive. One reason that he won't propose is that he's still looking. He's adicted to the relationship but he still hopes that there is something better out there for him. Or he just knows that the marriage will never last. It is really not marriage in general. The bottom line is that he just does not want to get married to her.
