Are interactions, dating and relationships with the opposite gender overrated? Or are they actually worth it?

[AlienParasite]

Any type of relationship can be worth it, with any gender, same or opposite. However relationships are always going to have flaws, because we all are humans and humans are flawed. It's up to us to decide if a relationship bring us more good or bad to our lives, and so if it's worth it.

I don't think relationships with the opposite gender are necessarily overrated, but when it comes to romantic love we can hold unrealistic expectancies about it, and we can end up upset when we are unable to find relationship that fit that impossible fantasy we have chosen to believe.

No. They are not. If interacting with the right person. Like any relationship it depends on who one associates with. Only a fool would say rapports with the same sex are 100% perfect.

The problem for you is you are a prime example of someone who couldn't pick the right person from the opposite sex to interact with if you were dropped onto an island full of women. Mostly because you've serious problems. And rather than get them dealt with you keep digging yourself a hole.

They are neither overrated nor underrated. In a similar logic, is sleep overrated? You can do without sleep like Randy Gardner but love isn't on the same level of necessity as sleep is.

You, the reader, decide for yourself. I personally want love, sex and a relationship with a good woman. I like giving a kind woman the touches, back scratches and massages (but I like receiving those more 😍)

Personally no but then I have money to make so I'd rather keep flying solo but not from a financial standpoint but also a time one... relationships need time, a resource I lack more than money

[EllieEmma99]

depends on your own sexuality and the person you wish to be involved with... if you aren't sexually intrested in the opposite sex or are asexual then you woulsnt want to be romantically involved anyway...
But people are diffrent generally, just because one relationship fails, doesn't mean the next relationship won't work

They’re 100% worth it.
(Assuming they’re with the right people... I’m sure you’re fully aware of how far too many people can go through the motions of looking like they’re in a loving relationship when in reality, they’re manipulative and selfish af.)

Interactions are absolutely worth it regardless of sex. Dating not so much. A lot of it in my opinion is a waste of time if you are doing it for the status, or because you your lonely. Unless you're genuinely serious and take the time to get to know someone and accept some of thier natural human flaws your not ready. Relationships and interactions are beneficial to growth as a person I feel though.

Aren't you the guy who wrote "I'm blocking all the people on this question unless you give me a reason not to. You got one hour to write your reason. I'm done with all of you, especially those I respect. You have only one person to thank for that."? If so, who is the 'one person' that I should thank?

Depends entirely on your life goals. What you pursue, value, and how you identify yourself.

[juliaanita]

For me relationships are not optional. Haven't you noticed how men and women are attracted to each other like magnets? ignoring that uh... sexual attraction-for me anyway-is like pretending gravity doesn't exist.

[JSmuve]

They're worth it until they're not. Then you just have to cut bait and find another who's worth it. Or not.

[thehorriblesheikh]

Dating and relationships are quite over rated, in my opinion.

Depends on what you value, depends on who it's with, depends on what circumstances they happen in.

You can stay antisocial or create social life up to u

Dude--sex with a chick like the one in that pic is an experience not to be missed in this lifetime!

[Anonymous]

They are worth it because you give them your worth.
Why are you so bitter?
Why can't you appreciate the women and men who care for you?

[Slim57]

Good ones are worth it they say but I wouldn't know

[Madmegalomaniac]

Biologically they're necessities for the survival of the species.

[edgykid19]

I think they’re worth it 100%

[sheikalana]

If you're a straight person it's also worth it.

[MrsCM]

Worth, for both good and bad experiences

[DavidHart]

Worth it even if the relationship is momentarily.

[In_Trance]

That depends on your sense of value

Depends on the person
