15) Dealing With Ultimatums correct answer = d
Why does a man get married? Answer: To keep a woman happy so her emotions are kept at bay. There are really no incentives for a man to get married unless he is so in love with a woman that he simply must give her everything she wants. Financially, a man has everything to lose. It has been said that a woman has a financial incentive to destroy a marriage, and yet men still go kicking, screaming and dragged to the alter. Men spend years and years building up their investment portfolios, growing their companies and so on. A woman then feels she has the right to insist on a marriage proposal by throwing out an ultimatum. What she is saying is this: "Marry me or you will not see me again". This is usually a bluff because when a woman is so invested emotionally in a man, walking away is unbelievably hard for her. But a man will pander to her wishes because he wants to make her happy. But why is HIS happiness so apparently not important to her? If a man is not ready to marry but a woman needs to be, the man must clearly be honest and throw out some reverse psychology. "I am not ready to marry you and if you insist on this further I suggest we go our separate ways". Be strong, be the man, decide when YOU are good and ready. After all, YOU have everything to lose, she has everything to gain.
