Default If a man truly wants you, nothing can keep him away

Do you think that there is truth to this statement? I asked a male friend of mine who has not been in a relationship for over 3 years and is not really interested in committing to any of the women he dates, he said yes it's true, that if he were given the opportunity to be with his ex again he would commit to her with everything going on in his life.

What do you think?

Yes I think it's true. Ask any man and I bet he will tell you the same. I've had several men tell me that.

Like many guys will say, it's not that he doesn't want to commit. He just doesn't want to commit to you.

I think so. A persistent man may also win over a woman while this might've not happened otherwise. Most people are more or less vain, are flattered by enough attention, and are likely to find it endearing eventually even if the person may not be their first choice under normal circumstances.

I would think that statement would be true for both men AND women.

I don't think this is always true, at least not in my experience. When a women decides she wants to move on, she will view you (the dumpie guy) like scum that crusts atop a giant cow turd. No amount of attention, or flattery will change this. Women (many, not all) can be very cold and brutal this way.

A restraining order might help

Sorry, but I'm not going to try too hard to pique someone's interest. If she's not into me I'd rather move on than pester her. I say it's better to invest that effort into someone who feels the same way about you.

No.

A woman can still reject a man.

A man may be truly in love with a woman, but if the woman does not love him back ... if she finds him ugly, repulsive, strange, or if she finds him wholesome, nice, kind, and a truly good person yet has no feelings for him, why would she date him? Why would she become his woman? Out of pity?
