Maybe it is true for some single,but some are looking for the right person to have the rest life.Marrage bond with commotment,it is necessary to think twice.

I don't believe that to be true at all. There are many reasons for remaining single, and being afraid of commitment isn't the only reason. Some reasons are losing their insurance (which I've seen happen when older people marry a first, or second, time), along with other sound financial reasons for remaining single. I've also seen people lose their pensions from a first marriage when they got married a second time and decided to end their single status once more. I'm single right now, and I've been proposed to twice in the past 5 years (different people.) I chose to remain single, and it has nothing to do with fear of commitment. Some of us singles like our single life, and are quite happy. Also, you can be single and still be in a committed relationship; committed to each other doesn't always mean committed with matrimony. Anyhow, that's how I see it lol...

No, I don't believe that's true. Maybe in some cases, but there are loads of people who are single for other reasons that have nothing to do with being afraid of commitment. Maybe someone, like me, is single because they ONLY want commitment, and thus I've shunned young men who I don't believe are looking for a serious relationship like I am.

That could be one of the reason why they are still being single.. I am single and I was my sister's children-she is a single mother- babysitter for a few years and I told you what it seems that I am having and need to take care of my own family. Asked me to get married and need to face the same situation like that in such at my age now which I don't think I need to think about it yet, I will say no I would love to stay single like I am now..So I could say that I am not ready to carry the responsibility and have a commitment to it yet.Plus it is such a hard decision to made as we hope it just happen once it our life. So we need to choose the right choice~(^^)

This is an example of the reasoning fallacy called hasty generalization which draws a conclusion about a class based on a few or typical examples. The rebuttal of this kind of argument is easy considering that it violates the sufficiency criterion. No reasons adequate in number, weight , and kind are provided to support the conclusion. The premise that all single persons are afraid of commitments is really baseless. First of all, there are many reasons attributed to singleness or why some choose to remain single when they have the options to marry. Some people choose to remain unmarried because they are or have devoted themselves to a certain activity (or career) which they consider very important and that marriage would affect their efficiency in discharging the function needed. Think of Florence Nightingale and you would get my point. It would be absurd to think that she is afraid of commitment when she actually lived a life full of noble commitments. Economic factors are reason for some singles because although they want to marry their finances prevent them aside from other responsibilities they have. Others are not yet able to find a suitable marriage mate and until such time they decide to remain single. For them, it would be better to be single than to be in a marriage they consider not fit for them. There are many reasons and I would be creating a wall of text here stating them, But then, the point is being afraid of commitment is not just the reason why some choose to remain single.

i disagree if they are afraid to commit is because the are afraid hurt, or horning. ot lastly they are just not ready as yet.
