You have a relationship to feel what it is like to be in love with someone and share your life with them.
same as everything in life, to make us as happy as possible :smile:

Like I could just go for a drive, pick a girl up and rape her to have sex.

Plz don't do this.

I believe you do in the end. For a time though you don't.

When you find somebody you really care about you want to experience life with them, and grow with them. I'm in my relationship because I love him and everything about him, and I get to build my life with the man I'm in love with

But I can experience life with my best friends.

You get to find someone who finally understands you and accepts you for who you are and all your qualities:smile: I understand myself better than anyone else will

You look forward to something in life/have motivation to wake up:h: I don't want to always have the same thing to wake up to.

You have someone to talk to about your interests and whenever you or they feel lonely:biggrin: I can do this with my friends

You have someone to admire, your better half allows you to think in new ways and see in new light:colondollar: I don't need to admire anyone other than myself

They make you a better person:h: good people are boring

You can look into their eyes deeply and get completely lost in them and say "I love you" and (hopefully) hear it back:lovedup: I don't get this one.

You can hold hands on walks and just admire their little quirks and qualities:lovehug: enough with the admiring bull.

You can share good and bad times with them:love: I share good and bad times with myself already

You can celebrate valentines day and Id give them flowers and chocolates :biggrin: ew

Thats more than enough for me :smile:

you need someone to tell you that you look pretty on days when you look like **** :colonhash:
I don't need no one to lie to me, bitch I always know what I look like and I always look fab. Unless I don't want to look fabulous and in that case I'm fine.

Assuming you get along and are content with each other, it can make for a safer, cheaper and mentally healthier life.Of course humans are rarely content.
So relationships are about saving money? :P

You shouldn't have sex until you are married. However you don't have to be married to have sex. Like I could just go for a drive, pick a girl up and rape her to have sex. Or just call a whore. So you really don't need a relationship to have sex either.
Dude you have problems. Shut up and get out of this thread.

In a way. But with more cuddles :hugs:
I can't pretend to know what it's like to be in love, but I imagine you just want to be with that person, stick by their side. It ends up going deeper than just wanting someone you find sexually attractive and have chemistry with, it becomes unique to that person. That person is all you want and you just need that close, special connection with them; physically and emotionally.

But hey, what do I know. I'm just a single guy who's never been in love.

I was simply pointing out a fact of reality. That if a man wanted sex he could rape a woman or see a whore. Obviously I am not not going to do such things and support the imprisonment of men who do.

Rape isn't an option for anyone who isn't complete scum.

Indeed.
tax avoidance
gifting
conversing
someone to indulge
idk i don't see the point either unless they're open or w/e as monogamy is an entirely unrealistic expectation for human beings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well somebody needs to do the cooking and cleaning around here :u:

Of course. Wait until you are renting or want to buy a house and you'll know what I mean.

Quite. You could even marry one of them (of either sex), if you wanted. There is no need for sexual relationships unless you want children. Even then, you could adopt with a friend as well.
