I'm gonna go back to the first page for a second:



Pain. I can't speak for all but maybe some.

Emotional pain is something we don't know how to deal with well. So the best remedy for that is to shut it out and not put ourselves in the situation to have to maybe deal with it.
wow u r right!!!!
guys can't handle emotional pain... but by protecting urself of pain u r missing the care and the love...


Not so much. By protecting ourselves, we're doing exactly that -- protecting ourselves. When it's all a guy has been shown repeatedly time and time again, he tends to see the pattern. Call it a wall, call it whatever you like, but there's obviously a reason (or several) why that wall was built in the first place.

Women ain't the only ones who get hurt, y'know. Attention is just never paid to the guys who do.

Did you just quote yourself? lol. Guys aren't afraid of commitment. They're are afraid that the girl won't keep it herself. Almost every guy has been burned when they did the right thing and that's why you think they're afraid.



Yes, but almost everyone women has been burned as well. When are we all going to learn, that everyone is an individual, and have the potential to hurt us or make us happy, the same way we have the potential to hurt someone else or make them happy.
It takes two to make a relationship work. When both aren't working at it, it dies.

That's a little too all-inclusive for me.

I don't think it's absolutely true that all men HAVE given up on commitment. I know some who are in very stable, long-term relationships and are doing fine with that.

I would personally love to be in a committed relationship, but I can't find anyone who doesn't want to turn me into a cardboard cutout -- and that just ain't a-gonna work.

For me, it has nothing to do with "fear." It's about the lack of a suitable partner.

That's funny, as I've dated my share of women who had the same problem going on in their almond-sized brains. So it just goes to show that being non-committal is a unisex thing and not something limited to only one of the genders. laugh
