[quote=LONELYJOURNEY,401310]"In 2005, 51 percent of women said they were living without a spouse, up from 35 percent in 1950 and 49 percent in 2000.”---New York Times.

"Blind date TV shows are becoming particularly popular in China, and many TV series about marriage or relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have also received extremely high ratings. However, a large number of youth are afraid of marriage, and this marriage phobia is spreading in society.”---People’s Daily

People in the US and China seem to have the same problem---suffering from marriage phobic. Are you marriage phobic? If so, why are you afraid of getting married?

Here are some guy’s reasons.

No. 1 I am enjoying my freedom. 
"Marriage means that there will be another person who interferes in your life. You have to report everything to her and your life will be controlled by her. I’ve been out of my mother’s control for a while. Why should I shackle myself with marriage?”---A guy who has stable income and good friends said.

No.2 I am enjoying love but I don’t want to get married. 
"I have a boyfriend. We both enjoy love but we are so afraid that such wonderful life will disappear after we get married.”---Lily said.

"Marriage is not your and your lover’s business. It is about two families. After marriage, you will have to deal with different kinds of relationships. Love might gradually fade.”---A female white collar said.

No.3 Marriage is too complicated.
"Marriage is too complicated. Single life is good. Getting married doesn’t mean that you will live happily. After seeing his friends’ failure in marriage, I’ve made up my mind that I will never get married.”---A man named Mike said.

Analysis: To his understanding, marriage is totally different. He feels unsafe because of marriage uncertainty. Meanwhile, he is unwilling to sacrifice his happy single-life.
