Well, that's unexpected. I am not an American, so I am not really sure about the American culture in real life, but isn't it usually women who want to get married and men who don't want commitment? Many American TV shows I have watched depicted dating like that.

Tons on men want to get married. The media is not honest. I had a guy essentially propose and I had no idea he had been that serious. He wrote a letter saying he was ready to settle down etc... Great guy. but not right for me. I like very fit men and my husband of 32 years is extremely fit.

In my experience, when younger, men actually want to be married more than when they get older; whereas, a lot of women want to be married eventually but don't start getting really desperate until their late 20's/early 30's if they haven't locked a guy down yet. I always chalked this up to younger women having a slew of options that slowly dissipate into mostly undesirable options the older they get.

American TV shows don't reflect real life at all. I think it all depends on the person. A lot of men really look forwarding to securing for themselves a wife to start a family with, and the "selection" is best in younger years. A lot of women look forward to marriage as well. If I had to subdivide everyone into two groups, it wouldn't be between males and females; it would be between those who are conservative both morally and sexually and those that are not. The second group likes to pollute the first group though--- that's for sure.
