I also believe that the human male is the nest builder in our little courtship ritual of life. With the exception of those few who are content with mooching off a woman, most guys want to build a secure environment that will attract the right one. The type of nest we build will determine the type of women attracted. Sometime all it takes is the right car or style of dress (of course then you get what you pay for), but most guys, I think, believe it is the quality of career and prestige of position that matters most. I find it all very interesting and wonder if some of us spend too much time trying to get the nest perfect. For most of us there is no such thing, there will always be something lacking, not yet achieved, in a career or a paycheck. And a woman of quality will look more to a man’s potential and sincerity than his job title or the square footage of his domicile. It would be interesting to know how long Adam and his girlfriend have been together and if he has considered whether he could better achieve his goals with her than without. Sometimes the best nest are built by two.

Keep up the good work,

I can’t help but wonder how long Adam and his girlfriend have been together. Also what plan is he putting in motion to improve his financial situation, career, etc., so that they will no longer be barriers?

If Adam gets all his ducks in row with his job and finances, will he marry her? Can Adam answer that question for himself? I can’t help but wonder if his reasons (which are good reasons) are serving as excuses to conceal the real question that he and his girlfriend both have: Does he want to marry HER?
