It can be anything from physical to  emotional, she could have a bad history of flinging around, or even have conceived a kid. It really takes alot of effort to commit into a relationship nowadays.&lt;br /&gt;Being part of the aging Gen-Y kids, we have our own share of Gen-y problems growing up. I guess thats the price tag for promoting the liberal culture. But hey, it's a good thing right? I mean this kind of problem only happens to the more developed and affluent countries... Would u rather fret over putting food on ur table or worry about the meaning of life? lol..&lt;br /&gt;So how does a guy commit to a relationship?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A chicken was &lt;strong&gt;involved&lt;/strong&gt; in producing the egg, but the cow has &lt;strong&gt;commited&lt;/strong&gt; by dying to put beef on the table."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that every successful relationship involves commitment. But how does one commit with so many social problems hard-wired fundamentally into us? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im enjoying the care-free single life. But memories of ex-girlfriends pouring her sorrows still haunts me. When u have a girlfriend it's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Problems X2&lt;br /&gt;2. Expenses X2&lt;br /&gt;3. Net Worth /2&lt;br /&gt;4. Time /2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So at the age of 23, im finding lesser and lesser reasons to commit. U could be dating for 1 year, giving ur full commitment but than suddenly she throws u a baggage and the whole relationship could blow up straight in ur face. &lt;br /&gt;In the rhetorics of the "Cow," us dudes have already sliced the "prime rib eye" meat off, just to have it thrown to the dustbin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that really puts me in a "The Glass Is Half Empty" position. A pessimist? Or am i a pragmatic realist? hmm~ u decide... My persona is but a figment of ur perception, a cloud of ideas formulated by ur history of experience and exposure to me.
