Pressure to commit increases with time

There are crunch times in every relationship when deciding whether or not to take it to the next level. However, women tend to hurry this along a tad quicker than the average bloke would like! This is understandable from a biological point of view, but that doesn't make it any nicer for guys, who are generally happy to fester in the current arrangement! After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

The graph above shows that the longer a man is in a relationship, the more the pressure for him to commit intensifies. In the early days of the romance before the couple have become really comfortable with each other, the man will be on a long leash. Make the most of these happy days, gentlemen, because they will not last! The woman will not risk turned the screw too early in the relationship, in case the man does a runner. However, once she has her claws into you, prepare for the gradual and inexorable drawing in of the leash. It's a slippery slope, my friend and before you know it, you'll be tethered to her and unable even to fart without her permission!
