I see so many of these posts on r/dating_advice and other subreddits about women who can't get the guy they've been seeing for a month or longer to commit to a relationship.

As someone in the past who's pushed away girls by seeming like I am looking for them to commit to me, I think this can bring up a good discussion of what it is about these guys that makes women have this desire to get them to settle down. They seem to follow the same routine of dates and intimacy that I've usually followed in the past, so it obviously narrows down to their attitude or presence.

What about it specifically makes them the white whale that women feel so inclined to take down?
