Not all men run for the hills the moment you call you and he 'us'. There are a few however, who are visibly irked when we give them a key to our flat or turn into Quasimodo when they hear wedding bells. Here real men confess why they won't commit...

Yeah right, I don't suppose the real reason there are countless thousands of single childless women going to be left on the shelf forever, who will never procreate, is because fifty percent of marriages end in divorce and the man has no rights at all then.
He doesn't just lose a marriage, he loses his house and home, his property, his savings are either taken up with legal fees (if he has any), or awarded to the woman. He loses his pension and worst of all of course, he loses his children and the woman can then draft in her new boyfriend denying not just the father but the paternal grandparents access to their loved ones (which around half of women do to some or a total extent).
She can do this with no fear of being jailed for contempt of court because she will be backed by the man hating media and women's magazines to the hilt if that happened, as they converge vulture like on her, synthetically protective and screaming about the rights of the children to see their mother.
Oh yes, and despite her laying claim to the kids like this as if they were her own personal property, (as far as the law is concerned they are) she then demands that he pays huge amounts of money to her and uses the children as leverage to get it. He is then hounded from pillar to post if he tries to avoid her taking what's left of him, demonised by the man hating media as a 'dead beat dad', until in many cases, he then ends his own life. And he'll probably be demonised for that too.
The man hating media have a lot to answer for but then that's what women want. They don't deseve children anymore. Finally, no I haven't been married, or 'hurt'. I'm just a sensible guy, who like so many others is protecting his assets, his future and his sanity.

Hold on!
The knife cuts both ways here.
How many women are commitment shy, but also want everything their own way.
Scenario 1.
A woman decides that she wants to have children.
Not an issue. However, this is with the caveat that mating partner (which is the only way it can be described from her point of view) is not sterile, has a well paid job and can get "paternity" leave.
Woman has baby #1: it is not what she wanted, (say a girl, but wanted, a boy instead).
Partners try for another baby and successfully woman acheives what she wants- a boy. Having now got what she wants, makes up all sorts of reasons to leave including heartbreaking statements about the "abuse" she has been subjected to in order to have children, and then on to Court in order to secure an Order of Jurisdiction for the Children and sue the man for rape. Ironically in law, there is no rape in marriage. This may account for the number of women who prefer to have children outside matrimonial bounds in order to avoid this little loop-hole.
Scenario 2:
Woman has had exactly what she has wanted out of the marriage, whether it be the 2.2 Children, or feels that the husband/boyfriend is actually now worth divorcing because of all the lovely pensions (most of which she has never earned in her own name), and more to the point the amount of money she will receive in the form of renumation for the upkeep of her off-spring, when clearly she only wanted the man's ejacualte.
Scenario 3.
Bored woman: who has now has had everything she has wanted out of the relationship, but can no longer be bothered with the children, because "they get in the way of her career". Again she is more interested in what she can get out of the marriage break up, particularly if there is a house at stake, and will do all she can to get what she wants. That may include perjury if it comes to it, and crying in the dock when it comes to the reply and defence from the male.
Senario 4: Bored woman, but unsuccessfull with it; but has had children:
This is the most dangerous of all. She will be upset that she has not been able to get back in to work, and accuse all employers of Sex Discrimination; yet wanting special terms as well(which is why she has not been employed). She will expect that she can come and go as she pleases, have extensive private phone calls and yet cry discrimination if she feels that will kindle sympathy: this is an even greater danger in larger companies when the majority of staff managers' are female; those who are male feel obliged to follow suit otherwise they are "sexist Barstds".
Ironically if a man tried any of the above stunts he would not last very long in the company.
Because she feels that she hase been "restrained" by her employers and husband will then make up all sorts of stories about discrimiation, leading to divorce. Accusing husband of abuse in front of the children, in some cases sexual abuse- the latter being most difficult to prove but easy to assert.
Husband is usually arrested and either imprisoned for child abuse (which was unproven, but because mummy cried enough in the Witness box to the (usually) female Judge/Arbitrator/ mixed Jury, was given "the benefit of the doubt")
Scenario 5:
Wife having avoided recourses 3&4 and decided to walk away from the relationship altogether, usually without informing the male, dissapearing overnight. Boyfriend/mating partner/husband just comes home to a note " I've gone back to mummy", or worse: "I've gone back to stay with Stan".
At best this can be on the realms of I don't need a man anymore- I can look after myself.
Six months later, mother then discovers that being a single mother is not quite such a laugh afterall and returns home and expects natural father to running back with lots of huggs, kisses and tears, and expecting him to say how much he mas missed her etc. etc.
Scenairio 6: The final and most disastrous .
Mother decides that being a single mum is not such a laugh after all, comes back to matrimonial or fathers new home and just dumps baby in to mating party's hands and tells him to get on with it. Perhaps of note here ladies is that if man did this to woman he would be swarmed upon and ravaged. But its OK if you are a woman because (suddenly) you are so fragile and at risk; when two hours ago you were little miss superwoman!
Having seen two friends go through Scenario 6 I can understand fully why men will no longer commit.
Incidentally in one of the cases of scenario 6, little woman who went running back to Court to get jurisdiction of the child which she (quite literally) dumped on her (former) husband's front door step a year before came in for a nasty shock.
In this case, the father Counter-claimed for jurisduction on the grounds that the child was in a stable enviroment as they had their own area in his parents' house which effectively became a flat. The boy was now about to start Infant School, and had a network of child friends which he had made at play-school. Some of those children were going to the same main-stream school/class, as their son.
The Judge (a female) adjudicated that as the boy was settled, and although the father was working shifts, which were not always compliant with the child's sleep pattern, nonetheless, the child had full protection of the Grand-parents (who were both retired) and it could quite clearly be seen that there was no risk to the child.
On the basis of scenario 6 of this commentary alone, this has made me very wary of women when it comes to marriage, let alone when children are involved. I love children their great fun, even when the "terrible two's and teens'" stages are reached, but as for commitment to a particular woman; unless she was VERY special, then I would rather be Uncle Chris than daddy on his own; indeed my feelings would be the same if I found that my child was without mummy and that she had abonded the child.
Believe me the situations outlined above exist and continue to do so. I have had to deal with so many both proffessionally when dealing with the "carve up" of estates; and through more personal experiences with friends of mine.
No wonder there is a drop in the birth and marriage rates, and fewer men wanting to enter long term relationships. It is not a question of commintment, it is probably a preconceived persecution complex that men have.

This is very sad to read. Unfortunately there are women out there like that, who have ruined mens' view of women in general, but there are also women like myself who value a partner first and foremost, whether that brings children or not, who have integrity and do not subscribe to the money-driven culture we live in, even though this makes life more of a struggle.
I am one of the 'single, childless women likely to be left on the shelf' (I should add, attractive and intelligent!)out of choice, because I prefer to choose to be with someone rather than be legally bound and I have seen the amounts of money friends have wasted on vitriolic divorces.
Life is happer if you are true to yourself, give each other freedom and don't be swayed by the masses.
