Shortage of Single Ladies? Men Quicker to Put a Ring on it

Posted by 4Dena on September 19, 2010 at 10:13pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

During a new study of metropolitan areas in America, in places where the number of single ladies is smaller, wedding bells ring sooner for women researchers reported August 4 in the journal Evolutionary Psychology. Girls are basically getting proposed to earlier because guys want to have a certain girl before someone else gets her. Slightly pathetic? Perhaps. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

all the single ladies!! i dont know how i feel about this.. either its a nice thing that the guy doesnt want someone else to take his or girl.. or hes being selfish? idk.. but this doesnt surprise me. ive been to a lot of weddings this summer and all the couples have been quite young. around 20-23

thats kinda cute!! if you think about it! but kinda sad cause if something happens then you have been with the same guy forever.

thats good that people are getting married quick, but there is a chance of them being divorced. I agree with chelsea as well, don't rush into things.

aw...thats kinda sweet. stupid, and probably not the smartist choice in some (or lots of) cases, but romantic.
too bad its probably not very long-lived.

  'probably'? funny thing is that mostly girls are commenting to this

I also agree with Chels. 'Putting a ring on it' early now these days can lead to a short term marriage. Not a happy ending.. And it is just a tad bit pathetic.

I doubt there relationships last long because they rush into thing before they know what they really want.

women can do things perfectly fine with out a guy, but it things are right....say yes! ;) if you've been together long enough, and you've worked through problems, things will be fine. :)
