I think you're right. It's not insecurity on his part. It's practically a LJBF.

So, I would marry you = LJBF?

Let me guess….you’re single.

it’s not quite LJBF but still not what some guys want to hear, as the author said.

It’s not AT ALL LJBF. It’s “I love you and all the ways you are so much I want to build and spend the rest of my life with you!”

Come on! Are some men really this dense that they manage to mangle such a meaningful and powerful declaration of commitment into an insult! This is mind blowing.

It sounded more like "I rode the cock carrousel until I burned out my ability to bond with a man. Now my plan is to marry a dull guy with money, pop out a few kids and 'divorce rape' him."

I think the original post said it perfectly well. I’m not going to rehash it.

Hmm. I'm a guy (60s now, but believe it not, I was once 28) and I don't see that as anything BUT a compliment. Only a very insecure guy could see it otherwise. There is more here, though. If after 2.5 years of steady dating, if this statement is enough to rethink the entire relationship, it was already on the rocks, and this sentence didn't put it there.

Only a cuck and a pussy would say something like that. I am in my 60's too and if any girl had told me that I'd take it for what it was . Grow a set wimpy.

She paid him a compliment and you read *several* things into it that she did not say. You ignored the important parts in the second part of the post.

I thought it showed that she TRUSTS him. Which is a massive compliment.

The question boils down if this girl is the type to have one night stands and FWB.

If she isn't that type, then this really is a complement.

If she's a bit of slut, then I would question what she was trying to say.

And if she if a whore, why has this guy been with her for 2.5 years.

I've rejected potentials for less.
