Men have often been stereotyped as commitment-phobic and wary of marriage, such as famous playboys James Bond or Stiffler from American Pie.
However, the cause of the wedding fright might be attributed to how men are raised.
A survey released by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University found that one-fifth of men aged 25 to 34 are "hardcore marriage avoiders" - or, men who have no wish to marry.
The survey also found that a man's upbringing affected how he views marriage. Men interested in marriage were more likely to have had an involved father versus men who did not want to marry.
While some experts debate the findings of the survey, it does again emphasize how important it is for a father to be involved in his child's life.
As college-aged men prepare to marry and have a family, they need to make sure they are fully aware of the responsiblity that comes with having children.
Fathers have been to known to affect their children's emotions.
A 2000 Webmd.com article said surveys showed children who had father figures involved in their lives had a higher level of self-worth and did better academically.
The new study reveals how much deeper a father's involvement goes, though.
