eh I think most of you are programmed because you get in relationships too early in life, I was a late bloomer; so I see it different.
I have a GF now. But I was single for a loooong time. But with lots of friends and lots of girls.
If you have alot of friends, a solid social life, and the ability to make sex happens whenever. then relationships can be...a sacrifice by comparison.
because I now have to split my time between my friends and my GF. sometimes I combine them all in one group, but sometimes I want my time with them alone...and now I have to split my time between two things. You end up spending less time with friends IMO.
and sex wise...sorry It just reveals to me that I was getting laid more than most dudes when single. There is immense fun in new conquests and new situations in sex, it's a big part of the fun in life. That's gone, unless you cheat.
I feel like most humans just like constant companionship and like secure sex, and they're extroverts, thus they are a bit more emotional than me, and thats why so many gravitate towards relationships. but they kinda lie to themselves...because the sex life eventually slows down a step or is non existent for most people (not the case for me but still) or they start cheating. humans just lie to themselves.
