About This Quote

When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment. In this quote, this author is highlighting the differences between men and women when they are looking for relationships. Women are often able to sustain relationships despite the fact they want to be single.

However, if a woman is very single or not ready to commit she will hold off until she is ready. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to be afraid of committing to one woman. They often think that if they marry they will never be able to leave their wives and they may lose all of their freedom.
