Why Men are Afraid of Commitment?

by Ruchi on November 11, 2009

Men and women both have different thinking and feelings towards love. Generally Women are always ready to take responsibilities of any relations and ready to give commitment, but it’s not the case with men. Whenever it comes to commitment men think to escape from that topic and they feel trapped with the thinking of living with a woman for long time. I can’t blame men for that, maybe it is because they feel they are very strong and don’t need anyone in life but the fact is that men become frustrated if they are alone.

commitment thumb Why Men are Afraid of Commitment?

Here are few reasons why men try to run away from commitment:

  1. Fear of being hurt: Men feel that love hurts a lot and they don’t want to get hurt in love. They feel that woman will leave them and she would never be with them for long term. This feeling makes man thinking to stay away from commitment and keep relations moving without any feeling of insecurity.
  2. Fear of not finding perfect mate: Men always want good women for long term relationship, who should be ready to change for him and meet his expectations. Sometimes this feeling becomes scary for guys when they keep searching for perfect one and they don’t get one. They can never commit to a women whom they don’t find perfect and in the search process man forgets that woman are human begins and she also can have negative points .
  3. Fear of trust: Men have tendency that they can never trust others easily. If a woman tells a man to commit in relationship, he will feel as if she is using him. It is difficult for a man to trust anyone easily. Man thinks that woman can easily change the priorities in relationship and might dump him for someone else.
  4. Fear of sacrifice: While thinking about commitment, men often think that if they are committed to one woman they have to scarifies a lot in their life and adjust according to their partner. They feel as if their bachelor life which includes late night parties, staying with their friends or watching sports will be thrown out. This is very common problem, you need to understand that when you are planning to tie in a relation, you both need to adjust and that will increase love between both of you.

I hope this article will help you out when you want to think about commitment in any relation.

While SOME of the above reasons may be true and may apply to SOME men, I think it is little exaggerated to make any general statement like above. If I were you I would have considered keeping the title as “Why SOME Men are Afraid of Commitment?” to avoid being blamed of practicing sexism! ;)

Actually I wrote this post on men because studies shows that the ratio of men is more when it comes to avoid commitments.
Don’t worry , I will write weak points of Women also :) .

Your points are valid, but I agree with Pradeep about a post about “Why Women are Afraid of Commitment?”

I think that will be an interesting read.

Also another topic to cover would be “Why do men and women cheat?”. I’m sure that one would get a few comments ;)

I possibly would not have contemplated this was valuable two or 3 months back, yet it is fascinating how age evolves the manner you react to stuff, thank you for the blog post it really is pleasing to discover something sensible here and there as opposed to the typical rubbish masquerading as blogs and forums over the net. Cheers
