If they've been together almost 3 years and this is his response to something as innocuous as "I take this relationship seriously" she dodged a bullet.

No wait, the joke is that he understood her phrase as "I'm not really sexually attracted to you, but you feel good enough to settledown"

When she actually meant: "I don't obly want to fuck you but also grow old with you, etc"

Oh I know. I also know guys who misinterpret a relationship maturing as it dying and I'm just saying that if she's seeing it mature and he just thinks it's all about jumping bones, then there's some really serious lack of communication there.

A lot of hetero men do not value the last part above the first part. The "chad" who bangs "chicks" every night on his bedframe less bed, is still seen as aspirational, unlike the "beta" house-husband manwife who cooks for his wife, while she shacks up with her personal trainer or something.
