Female





I think nowadays it's largely personal, as most sex differences show a vague trend rather than a clear trend - but it's certainly more socially acceptable - or expected? - for a girl to be obessed with marriage than a guy.





In the past - again, I think the difference wasn't as clear cut as people think. Girls needed to be ';married off';, guys needed to marry to carry on their familly name, etc. Girls certainly had less freedom till they married, that would be a good motivation to marry. But it might also have been caused by people's obsession with marrying off their daughters (father's especially, as they would stand to gain the most from the son-in-law - i.e. in buisness and politics if they were influence, help and work if not etc.)Which gender (today and during the past centuries) is/tends to be more obsess with marriage?

The environment (it麓s in Spain) in which I move seem that the men are more interested than the women. But when I talk with other different groups of persons about this interest it seems similar between them (more or less, perhaps, probably, the girls a bit more but it麓s changing) between men and women.





Among my group of friends, the women don麓t seem very interested in marriage, no. While the boys are talking about ... ';to stabilize'; the relations. We (the ';girls';, the women) talked more about to reach a proper job, about personal balance in the life too and about to be happy with the our love today (about to have children as well, sometimes), step by step with our couple, ';living today and looking ahead';. But without to consider (we, the women) that the marriage should be necessary for this.





At this moment I see that they (the men) are demanding more to have '; the things in order'; to my friends (girls) but the truth is that the men respect with fewer insistence than when a girl does it, the decision of delay of the women.





A greeting.
I am female.





My answer:





Probaby female.
