I guess this's a kinda of stupid post... but I've read that in NY people are not perticularly looking for a serious relationship because there're too many choices for everyone. is that true?

can NY men 25-35 post here do you want a serious relationship? thanks.

not sure what's the use of this poll... just confused why people are different just because they're in NY?

This is a generalization!! I know many men in that age range who are married, engaged, or who are in serious relationships that may lead to marriage.

Yes, there are many options in NY (in any large city); yes, many people are career focused here, so they may marry later. But again, in my personal experience, most of my guy friends who are all FROM NY or lived in NY for a LOOOOOONG time are engaged, married, or in a serious relationship.

There are millions of people here. We aren't all the same. ;-)

There is some truth to that although I'd skew younger (20-25, 20-30).

But generally I believe, if I a guy says he doesn't want a relationship, he just doesn't want it with you. 9 times out of 10, if it's the right girl, he's down.

ITA. I have seen some men who were complete players CHANGE completely when it was the right girl.

And I don't think it's completely a NY thing, but a male thing. Younger men (20-25) don't really want to settle down. Though, most women that age don't want to settle down at that age either. I'm 24 and want to get married to my man and many of my girl friends think I'm crazy to want to settle down and get married that young.

You want one, or you wouldn't mind one? There's a difference.

I'd like one, but obviously I'm not going to jump into one. those things develop over the course of time with the right person, sorry if I wasn't clear on that.

Well, it's not that he's lying though.. although sometimes I'm sure they are.. sometimes we just don't want a relationship until a girl comes along and changes our minds; showing us that they're worth the relationship. Girls do the same thing too.
