In todays world with all this selfishness, greedyness and coldness..

Who wants to get hitched really?. Marriages only last as long as the money lasts. Its a bleak view of the world I know sad
Really sad and bitter truth you stated there.Women seldom endure when there is short-fall in money matter.Majority of them though.Its no money,no love,no marriage,divorce to the rescue

Must be an American thing as it gets mentioned so often on Mingle. I don't know anyone who got married cos of money, nor do I know anyone that got divorced because money ran out.
I do know a woman that has to work her @$$ off because her husband has to pay alimony for his kids from his first marriage. If that wasn't the case, she wouldn't have to work so hard. So she has to work her @$$ off because of HIS past! But they have a great marriage, love each other tremendously. And they make it work - together.

Most women that get divorced, end up in financial dire situations, so money really isn't the reason for divorcing. Financially most would've been better off staying married. They don't, cause money isn't all that important, happiness is. So they prefer to have little money and more happiness than the other way round.

Guess this is different in the States.

1. A man will take the plunge when he finds the right woman. In the real world a man has some idea of who he is going out with on a first date. Online dating is like a blind date: never know what she's really like.

2. Men of this generation seem to be a bit pickier than in the past. Just because a woman is female doesn't mean she deserves the best. If she wants the best she better be bringing similar characteristics to the dating table as well.

Higher divorce rates are also due to many more younger marriages.....also stating that "he" is supposed to be working and supporting it all doesn't necessarily comply with modern equality thoughts in many couples for the past couple decades.....I just left a marriage of 23 yrs....and I would marry again....you move on ,leave it behind you (unless children are involved)...and make sure the next one knows that they are who's special....100%....not your past.

That's the key - as long as you don't mislead another...there is a lot of that and it is selfish and unfair. Honesty with yourself and others about who you are and what you are about is rare. Whether you want a commitment or not - hurt before & fear - people are afraid to be themselves. Why hide - the truth always comes out in you eventually.

You're right about that Airfree- misleading each other is selfish and unfair. Honesty is very important to me. Always has been. Wish I could find someone that could see and respect that.

I live in Canada. You are on Mingle enough to know that lots of people marry for money and end up in financial ruin because of that person. Its quite common and not just in North America. The money is gone and guess what??

Single ladies,here are the reasons why some men aint ready to commit.(1)FEAR OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY:Men know that when they commit,they must be ready to take on responsibility such as bringing money home to take care of the family's needs,maintaining & protecting the family.It will interest you to know that some men just dont like to think about the kinds of responsibility that come with getting married to a woman and having children.(2)PAST HURTFUL EXPERIENCES:Some men will like to commit to women,but they find it difficult because they have either been dumped or cheated on by someone they really loved.(3)FEAR OF MISSING OUT ON THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN:Somen men will not commit because they dont want to miss out on the most beautiful woman that is yet to show up.You may be a nice person & beautiful in your own way,but something still tells him that there is someone out there who is more beautiful,nicer & sexier than you.(4)HIGH RATE OF DIVORCE:You all know how women like single motherhood these days.


i like how you present this as fact. nothing more accurate than lumping slightly less than half of the words population into ones misinformed opinion.

there is so much wrong here i don't know where to start so, i'll just assume you were actually trying to help, or you were in some strange way, attempting to appear a lot more in-touch than other people. either way, this is a FAIL.

Interesting how this idea is placed as a generalization for all women. In fact an unfair way to look at it, to place ALL women in the same category. We are all individuals and personally, thinking like this is a huge problem I have been seeing.

I was married for 22 years and we began our relationship with near nothing financially. We had our ups and downs in that, yet remained together through the toughest times. His cheating is what ended the relationship, not the financials because that was NEVER a factor in the relationship. I personally do not care how much money or how many things you have. I want to know you as a human being above all else!!

I can't say I agree! - IMHO Real men have no problem committing and taking responsibility. It's the "boys" who run in the opposite direction for various reasons who cannot be man enough to commit.
This is also not strictly "a boys club" some women are also afraid of commitment - for what reason I cannot say! :)
