What I think is that guy's are more hesitant to commit to relationships because they somehow feel more "responsible" for the well being of their partners and providing financial support-- like the saying: it's the men who often "bring home the bacon"; especially in such a patriarchal society.

But I understand that women are also afraid to commit because of fear of losing their "independence". Moreover, when they do commit to a serious relationships, it's often the women who worry more about their partners leaving them (i.e. divorce, etc.) especially that (we) are more emotional. It's women who often feel the pressure to break the stereotypical "house-wife" schema and strive to be successful in a (mostly) patriarchal society.

What do you think? What gender is more hesitant to commit to serious relationships?
