Most young men and a bunch of other men are "not ready to get married!"

Mainly they are just not ready to get married to the person that they are saying it to. I don't believe that it works they way you described. Meaning, they don't wake up one day and say "OK, now's the time to think about getting married. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that happens.

Rather, they meet someone - the relationship progresses - they fall in love (or lust) and begin to think that they might have met their soul mate. Or the girl says we need to get married or break-up - take your pick!
Bingo. Most any man is ready to get married, when he meets the right girl.

Agree with post below.
It means :
1) I do not want to marry you ( just hang out / play house while I retain my single status)

2) I never want to marry (again) want roommates with benefits.

3) If I tell you the truth 1 or 2 you will not hang out / play house with me, so will string you along with the "not ready just now" line.

4) When you pull away (s)he realizes you aren't going to stick around while (s)he shops for a husband/wife, after all (s)he is single
Fixt it for ya.

Despite what people intend, God has other plans. Don't write a guy off just because he thinks he doesn't want to get married.

You might be the one that changes that.

Good luck.

Nice wedding photo (my assumption)...

Some of the negativity here neads to be tempered ...

(Well, it needs to be discarded entirely, but it's Polite Day.)

In fact, without knowing the person's age and current attainment, we don't know enough to pronounce intelligently on the statement.

Since it is factually decided that youthful age at marriage is one of the greatest predictors of divorce (along with low income and low education), a wise man not yet established is correct to defer marriage.

It is further a fact that most people marry in their life.

***

Although the post from numbertheorist is good, that is a big risk to take if one is already around 30.

I have had so many male friends say they weren't ever going to get married and then a few months later they are engaged. Same thing with their thoughts on kids.

There is no way for us to know if this guy you are dating is going to be ready to marry in two years or not.

Yeah, usually when men say that, they mean they are not ready to get married to you. I never believed this until I met my boyfriend. At around 3 months of dating, one of his friends who likes to ask inappropriate questions asked us when we were getting engaged. I was like "we've only been dating three months, what kind of a question is that?" I later asked my boyfriend if that freaked him out. He said that being engaged to me would not freak him out at all.

He can also look at his male friends and tell you exactly where each one stands with their current girlfriend. Like the one who is telling the girl what she wants to hear but would dump her in a second if a better one came along. Apparently there are cues that other guys pick up on easily that show their bros true intentions. So his friend's inappropriate question was just an indication that he could tell that my boyfriend was serious about me.

If a man says those words to you, and you are dating looking for marriage, he's not going to marry you before you become frustrated with the wait. Take him at his word and look elsewhere for your husband.
