i totally agree with this. however now a days, i know many friends of mine who are caught in a paradox : career vs. comitment (settling down) ALL before you get too old to mary. and its a cultural thing as well, depends where you are raised and what values are inserted in you. Some women who are better settled in their lives, feel that is the ultimate completion, to be comitted to the one you believe are in love with. I guess, it is part of their genes. Security in life for a woman is a must, but most women jump on ANY opportunity until they realize that they've made a mistake. I- for one will be very sure before i jump into any kind of commitment with anyone.
