There is no reason whatsoever why a man should be afraid of making a long-term commitment to marriage after two years with someone, unless he's in his early twenties and has little to no prior relationship experience. A man in his mid-20s and older shouldn't be scared to the point of running for the hills if his long-term girlfriend brings up the topic of marriage, and if he's not interested in getting married he shouldn't get himself involved in a long-term relationship to begin with.
Two things:

Think this attitude might contribute to the 50% divorce rate?

It's always a slippery slope when you make declarations about all men (or all women, for that matter). Maybe it's true for you, but unless you're God (or you've done a statistical survey of every male human) you have no idea that there is 'no reason whatsoever' to be afraid of making a commitment to marriage after two years.
