My first 2 marriages were because of ultimatums. I DID NOT want to get married either time, but I am a very worry-free, footloose and optimistic personality, so I always trusted that things would work out. They did not. Ce la vie.
I agree that a lot of guys find themselves in this situation. Women don't appreciate getting strung along for years - understandably - and by then, the guy is usually at the point of no return = its too painful and difficult to break up a multi-year relationship.
Now, a lot of guys have little or no hope of landing anything remotely attractive or worthwhile, so they marry at the first opportunity. I see this as a pitfall of a guy in his 20's or 30's with limited earning capacity and therefore, self confidence. Once the do-re-mi starts rolling in and the guy gets some game, the confidence builds and he can become a bit smarter about his choices.
Of course, if you're rocking white sunglasses and skinny jeans, none of the above applies. You're fighting them off from a very early age.
