Do anybody now a days want to be in a committed relationship anymore??

Absolutely, trust and commitment with someone i'm attracted to is sexy to me in world where it's valued less and less.
 
Its true OP that this non-commital thing has become more common in recent years. Trend of people focusing more on themselves, it has to do with the economy among other things.
 
It's sad man. Currently trying to build with this woman im seeing now, but she has awful communication skills and doesn't plan on fixing it so im about to fall back something serious. It really takes a toll on the trust i once had for her. I always prepare for disapointment with today's women so im never really disapointed when the bs starts sad to say

I'm somewhat in a similar situation. A girl that I had interest in said that she wasn't trying to get in a relationship at the moment, but is willing to build a friendship, but I felt as though I was putting more effort into the friendship then she was. I honestly felt as if she was reaping the benefits because I honestly didn't gain anything from her in this friendship. I felt as though she gained more from me, but it's cool, I'll just chalk up the "L" and fall back. Some chicks these days play to many games and put up a damn front like thy don't want a man..
 
Ive been out of the dating game for roughly 2 years. I am 24 so the women around my age aren't trying to settle down. Some of the dreams of getting wifed up by men with paper, others want to enjoy the continuous male attention due to their prime years they are in currently. Some (a few in my experience) really want to settle down and skip the promiscuous phase. As men your stock will continue to rise just always keep that in your back pocket.

Another thing i noticed is that people have baggage. People start dating in middle school, on average ill say about 2 serious relationships and many of them end up on bad terms. People are losing themselves because they are giving parts of themselves to people that don't matter. People become jaded but i have no advice fellas. I am trying to avoid the yambs until my mind body and spirit is right.
 
No, never. I think about how I'd regret getting in one asap like always. Then I get out leaving the chick pissed because I really never have a reason.
 
Y'all need to move to Indiana. I swear every 20 year old evangelical girl I know has got engaged in the past year. 
 
Of course this is relative, but I believe the need for instant gratification is one root to this issue. We live in an "I want it now" world, some people don't want to put in the time nor effort to be in committed relationships. So it's easier to be friends with benefits. That leaves room to be able to do what you want with out adhering to expectations.

Maturity is a factor as well. Most people I know are in relationships and are happy. Depends on your circle.

Nobody trusts anybody. No one asks why. It's really sad.

Man this thread applies to me so much right now.

I recently graduated and been home a lot more in the process of looking for a job and what not (I still work). I'm not personally going out my way to avoid settling down but I don't feel financially secure and would like to figure my life out first before adding another to be a part of it.

But maybe another would help complete me idk fam..sometimes I feel like I'm passing up some real solid chicks and I'm only getting older.

You sound exactly like me fresh out of school 5 years ago. Though I wouldn't admit it back then, but looking back it definitely was a confidence thing. I had a bs job, living at home, no car (bc of an accident), no money, and developed a bit of a smoking habit. I didn't like my situation at all and felt that I couldn't make someone else happy until I was happy with myself.

Luckily I had a homegirl I kicked it with during those times and wasn't as hard on me as I was on myself. Going on 3 years strong. She held me down during some struggles man. Love that girl

Did this need it's own thread.

Some people like being tied down and some people are peacocks.. you gotta let em fly!
 
I told a lot of dudes with relationship problems to stop dating american girls, but some listen and some don't. But those who took my advice seriously are much happier now. The typical american woman is overrated and don't offer much compare to the women from foreign countries. If you really want a committed and serious relationship, just consider this option. 
 
way too much opportunity out here to be under a lock and key coming home to same box and stale conversation

that being said im tryna settle down with a shorty right now but she's too good for me

My dillema in your first statement but the p and convo is straight. Sometimes I want to just walk out for an extended period of time (self time) and go ham. Got a wife and 5 kids that keep me from it though.

Stay strong and step ya self worth game up famb. She deserves you not the other way.

This.. Half the people I know are in a relationship. Seems to just be OP's perspective, cause ours don't align.

Yeap, relationships haven't gone out of style. One of the biggest players I know is now wife's up. You may want to expand your network if you think people are wanting to be single.

Although I do think there are a growing few.
