Just when you think the world is full of love and sunshine and rainbows, yet another study comes along and smacks you in the face to prove otherwise. Turns out that a lot of men don’t enter into commitments like marriage out of a genuine bond toward a woman — they seem to do it just because. Let’s explore, shall we?

The new Match.com Singles in America study found that 25 percent of men will agree to commit to a woman even if they aren’t romantically or sexually attracted to her. According to the study, it seems that both single men and women — although men more so — are looking for companionship, rather than completion. So forget about that scene in Jerry Maguire and accept that you may never hear those words: “You complete me.” You’re more likely to hear, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Here are some reasons men walk down the aisle even if they’re not feelin’ it.

    This list is true. Unfortunately, I hear more men say that they are married to someone they aren’t in love with, but that she’s a “good woman.” Sounds like many men are looking for a 2nd mother rather than a wife.

  • Nope

    Nagging is a very, very powerful weapon. Being unhappily married is the less of two evils between being nagged about getting married forever, lol.

    • lol

      you say it like only 2 alternatives exist in such a situation, how about just leaving?

        For men and women alike, stay single.

          And celibate, right? You keep pushing the single life, but if people use others for s e x, then what is that? Just asking

          • lol

            you asked the best damn question!

    First you read an article that men don’t want to get married, then you read one like this. Which is it? Furthermore, these are some dumb reasons…all of them. Laundry? I mean really..laundry?!

  • Hello_Kitty81

    If any man doesn’t know how to do his own laundry by at least 18 years, they need to be single FOR LIFE!!!

    • diggy.p

      LOL! My SO doesn’t do his laundry. Where he is from they had servants do the laundry. And now he takes it to the laundromat. I think it’s funny!

      18 is generous because a child could do their own laundry at at least 9-years-old.

    And you wonder why the divorce rate is so high? I want a person to marry me because he wants to be with me not for those reasons indicated. It will come out in the wash sooner or later. People SHOULD NOT GET MARRIED JUST FOR THOSE REASONS.
