Woman are relatively smart. They don't normally believe that we are afraid to commit. They say the words to get a response. I know of two types of women who use this line.
The first type of women tends to be insecure. She wants to be married and feel good about herself. She needs you to give her some type of reassurance that the relationship is going in the right direction.
The second type of woman tends to be controlling. She is rarely direct, but tends to hint at what she wants. She is trying to steer you in the direction of getting married. She also wants you to believe it was your idea to get married in the first place.
If you don't think it's in your best interest to get married, you probably shouldn't. Someday you may meet someone who will change your mind about marriage. Until then, good luck!

what do you mean by "it's not in [your] best interest". Typically it is assumed that if you tell a girl you don't want to get married then you have commitment issues. Marriage really is a commitment, so it makes sense to assume that someone who doesn't want to get married doesn't want to commit. It can happen to girls too. I think it mostly matters when you reach a certain age. That thing about women maturing faster than guys is for the most part true. We get older and realize we want to get married and have kids and all that.We just realized that faster than guys do. So we're all waiting to commit and the guys haven't reached the stage/part of their life where they are ready to make the commitment and everything that comes with it. Of course some people have other reasons for not getting married, but usually it stems from fear of commitment.

I don't assume it, but speaking generally, marriage IS a committment. If you don't want to get married then you don't want to commit to something more serious than permanently dating. Also, generally speaking, people don't want to commit are afraid to for many reasons...usually, it's about a fear of losing their freedom. Women have different view points about committment and don't always understand or accept that a guy doesn't want to commit to her and guys don't always understand why girls want to get married. It goes both ways. I say, fine, I will find someone who IS willing to commit and there are a lot of you out there.

Well it hurts less to assume that the man is "scared" of commitment then to think that he just don't want it cause it feels to good to be free :)

I don't know that i have the correct answer to this problem, but it is sure common among women to believe this.
When women make up their minds what they want they get very impatient. I don't know why they do it, i guess if i figured that out i'd be "Rich" as i'd have figured out women in general.
