I can't answer your poll because you've chosen (again) biased answers.
There's no option for 'Yes I'm married and no I don't cheat.'
I've been married twice and I didn't cheat on my wife in either marriage.
I think this is the last of your polls I'll bother to answer; so far your choices of answers seem to be skewed to reflect what you want to hear rather than what people have experienced. If you just want people to agree with whatever odd notion's struck you this week (e.g.: women only want money; men are all X; the sun rises in the east, etc), say so from the start.

I could never cheat, because my first girlfriend cheated on me.

I believe in marriage, but it is likely that I would co-habitate with my soulmate (when I find her) before then.

Maybe. I'm not the sort of person to cheat.

It doesn't make sense to plan to get married before you've even met the person you'd like to marry.

It's a headspace thing. Some people want to get married, so they spend time and energy looking for potential mates. Other people have no interest in getting married, so they don't spend the time looking. (I fall into the latter category myself.)

I don't want to get married, period. If the marriage ends in divorce, half of my assets will get taken away, and I'll get stuck with making alimony payments every month. No way, no way, no way.

Unlikely.

First I have to find someone i'm head over heels for. (small %)
Secondly they have to fall head over heels for me (even smaller %)
Thirdly I juct CBF, and I'm a child in the mind and in the heart. I'll probably never grow up.

I truly hope I get married. It's a goal.
Step 1) Establish a successful social life, aka, make new friends (friends I didn't make about 7 years ago)
Step 2) With the social life, get the girlfriend.
Step 3) Get married.

Notice I used the, implying that I want to find the girl for me, not a girl for me.

"The" girlfriend. That is an excellent way of putting it! That's how I feel as well.

Despite myself seeming very perfectly suited for marriage, i chose no. Mainly because the idea of marriage doesn't appeal to me. I haven't got a problem with commitment, and could probably stay in a relationship for quite along time and be completely faithful in doing so. It may be partially because of the whole public thing and partially because i would prefer to stay away from religion (I believe marriage is a religious thing).
