There are many reasons a person may have for turning down a marriage proposal but some stand out among the rest.
The First and perhaps most obvious one is that you may not even like this person. They aren't "the one" or the "perfect man". Obviously you have some sort of attraction to them to be dating them but that's as far as it goes. You can't quite put your finger on it but there's juts something about him that throws you off. Whether it's his style, personality, or outlook on life there's just no connection there.
Second would be that you two don't get along, AT ALL. He gets up too early, she never cleans up after herself, he never puts the seat down, she leaves her clothes all over the bedroom. What's the point of getting married if you can't get along when you aren't. Nearly half of all marriages, in Canada, end in divorce before the 30th anniversary. Why waste time and money on lawyers and court dates that you don't need. Just don't get married in the first place.
The Third reason, and my favorite, is that they don't have enough money. Many people marry for money and often if you can't support her lifestyle you're kicked to the curb. It's not his fault that he doesn't have the money to fulfill her "needs". Face it, women can be very high maintenance, me included, and we just want someone who can take care of the check and bill and anything else that's thrown at us. Face it, if you have money then your chances of getting the girl are much higher than if you were broke. Of course there are the old movies of the poor guy winning over the rich girls heart but in reality that's not very likely. However, you can always keep your hopes up that if they married a much older rich man then he may die soon and you can snag the girl before another man gets to her; but that's also not likely.
The reasons for turning down a marriage proposal are infinite and these are just my top 3. You're reasons may be different and everyones opinion is unique to them.
In most cases, these reason's for not getting married are true. I like how you gave examples of each main reason, as when you talked about not getting along. It's true about how guys do leave the seat up and how girls leave their clothes all around the room. Those reason are very true and specific. I also like how you refered back to how its seen in the movies and gave how most of it won't happen or isn't true. One thing I would have liked to read more is some statistics about marriage, but overall, nice job!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good topic to write about. I agree with most of them, but sometimes being "perfect" isn't always everything.
ReplyDeleteI think if people like each other, it wouldn't matter if they're rich or not. There's always going to be fights and arguements in a relationship, but that's normal.
