Overrated , anything in this world can be overrated it depends on who we are what we have been through what we have learned what is important to us what is not. When things are overrated it's because I've a Feeling or something that we have been through I watch the other people go through After a while we might become numb to things and that's when they become overrated so if you think about it life is overrated we are all different we are all feel different things when things emotionally happens to us I'm not saying that I'm right or that I'm wrong I just see things in a different light than most people There are things that I truly care about. There are things that are out of my control and I accept that. I love relationships I think they're hot they're sexy they're meaningful their powerful But there's another person involved so that means it's a 50/50 deal And we can only control our 50% that we have to put into it and be the best that we can be and accept that if that person can't get there 50% then we have to make a choice and we have to accept that choice And depending on if that person decides to take their 50% and give it to somebody else we have to accept that move on there's nothing we can do about it and there should be nothing that you want to do about it because you want don't want to force anybody to love you because you're it's fake it's false and not real So for me a relationship can be one of the most beautiful things in this world most powerful things in this world the most meaningful things in this world when it's real and when two people work it to make it work And at the same time sometimes we get played and sometimes it's just a big lie and sometimes it's just overrated

I wouldn't be... certain... I haven't ever had one, but I know that sometimes I do change my personal views on how much I desire a relationship and the desire changes from a large amount, that being valuing having a person in my life who loves me and only me and believing it is a extremely important thing for me to have something like that to another time believing there is no need for me to ever have such a thing if I can have so many caring friends then my heart doesn't need it.
I think... Relationship value is dependent on the place and the person, some places treat relationships very importantly within families, if it is a religion based scenario it is even more important for them with the tradition, as for describing the person, I mean this in that each personality in someone has values and they categorise them in different orders and maybe some don't even like to categorise them, maybe some don't even have values, my point is that everyone will have different levels of priorities when it comes to a relationship, while a relationship will likely be in that ladder of priorities, where exactly is not always going to be in the same place as where yours is and that is the tricky part.
At the moment I would put relationships priority on my ladder of 10th step down where everything above is more important, currently those things have not been overcome for years and that is why I finally decided to bump relationship priority down and focus on more important subjects than having a partner.
They're VERY overrated! And no, I'm not just saying that because I'm eternally single.
Nowadays people are pressured to be in relationships, get married, and settle down. Your friends, family, and of course social media, pressures people into feeling like they have to be in a relationship to be happy. Even if it means settling for less than you deserve, or being in a relationship just for the sake of saying you're with someone.
How about some of y'all focus on being happy with yourselves first instead of caring what others think? Relationships are great!!! If it's with the right person. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.
To be honest, I never really thought of myself being in a relationship... mainly because I like my space.
Also in the past seeing what it can do to certain people just makes it seem more trouble than what it's worth. I mean there's a few out gems there can make it work of course. But our current era does make it more difficult.
Fairytales make it seem like relationships don’t take work, don’t face rough times, or don’t press you to let go of your insecurities (if you have them). When we learn this as kids, we subconsciously analyze relationships through a fairytale lense. When this occurs and relationships get tough (like normal), you question whether the relationship is good or not. You then constantly search for a close-to-perfect picture that will never happen. Long answer short, it is overrated when looking at the surface level connection, but it’s worth it in the long run. Formula of the day- Hard work > Life alone
The main reason people see relationships as overrated is their expectations have disillusioned them. People enter relationships expecting the other to conform and meet their ideal. They also fail to share their expectations with the other and expect the other to read their mind. Anything can be overrated when we are unrealistic and fail to prioritize clear, open, honest communication.
If you want to be happy in a relationship, make sure you choose wisely. Know up front what you are seeking and the reasons you are seeking those things. Find out what any potential partner's expectations are and then clearly share your expectations with that person. The tendency is people want to be in a relationship, so they'll say whatever they believe the other wants to hear. If you say your favorite meal is fried slugs and Jerusalem crickets a la mode, you'll probably hear them say "Me too." Therefore, show interest in understanding the other before expecting them to listen to your list of expectations.
You can influence slight change, but never expect others to make significant change... especially if you are providing pressure to make sure it happens. If you don't like what you see, don't settle just to be in a relationship. You'll be happier alone than with the wrong partner for you.
That's like saying isn't life overated? Everything is relative and has its place. Everything is where it's supposed to be except when your standards, your perception and your applications are not up to par when everything doesn't seem could be better and you're always question why isn't it working out the way it's supposed to
in my opinion, nothing can beat a great relationship, and they're worth the extra effort and the sacrifices that you have to make at times. Unfortunately, it's hard to find someone who values relationships today, not to mention someone you have genuine long-term compatibility with.
Most people today want everything their way, and even if they get it, it rarely makes them truly happy. The happiest people I know are in relationships, and have to make compromises and sacrifices and make an effort, but they also get so much out of their relationships that it makes those other things seem pretty trivial and unimportant. But you have to get into that mind-set first, and that's where most people fail.
Not if you like sex. It's fun to have someone to hang out and do things with, to go on adventures, to hold hands and kiss, to have sex with. Relationships also help us to learn about ourselves and about other people and human nature. Relationships are part of gaining experience and growing up.
But I think some people make a mistake of thinking that a "relationship" is a full commitment like marriage. I look at relationships like going steady. You're trying it out to see if it works. You give yourself completely, but you aren't required to stay in a relationship if it's not working out. Just because you fuck somebody doesn't mean that you have to spend the rest of your life with them.
Relationships are a two way street, with both sides having to pull equal weight in order to work. They also evolve over time. I don't see it as overrated but I do see how it isn't appealing to others.
My wife and I have been together 14 years, and where we are at today is nothing compared to when we first met. In that time we've lost children, had some wicked spats, and even became poly. However we built a solid foundation based off of trust and communication, which over time has helped strengthen our relationship. Is it perfect, no not by any means but it works. We both pull our weight equally, and that's what make it work.
Because it’s just two people sitting in unhappiness pretending to be happy because they don’t want to come to terms that they are better off single. Been there, done this. It’s not worth it. I wasted a lot of time with someone I should’ve broke it off after being with them for 6 months but I waited another year
I think there’s many reasons. I think a common problem is social media attention. They want to be the next viral couple or want to be seen as the most adorable , but then don’t realize the only positive thing about their relationship is the pictures they take. Another factor can definitely be loneliness
yes, people think being in a relationship will make them happier and more fulfilled then they are when they are single, it might work for a couple of months but then you'll feel the same as you did before
Firstly, relationships actually have to exist to be overrated lol. There are almost no real relationship these days, only hookup culture, friends with benefits, to fill the inner void of desperation, testing and experimenting sex skills and just superficial dating. Majority don't date for love these days. They date for benefits, ego boost, validation showing off, using the other partner and just to satiate their lust.
Yes relationships are overrated but I know for sure if I married a a woman who would happen to be on the same income as me her amount of money would be lowered while mine would stay the same it's better off for a couple in this situation is to remain single

Depends on what you are looking for. Is a person alone and just wanting to be in a relationship to prevent being alone? Does a person like sex and stay in relationships for sex? Or having found a great match, and happy, staying in a relationship as it works? If it works then I don’t see them being overrated. If it’s to fix or sooth another problem that’s personal choice.. so maybe not overrated either. If hurt and alone and not able to find anyone.. that could stir these thoughts.
The grass is always greener on the other side, for some people. However I would say it’s not just relationships in general. It depends on the relationship. If you are in the right relationship then you don’t have second thoughts.
Media and people hype it up. Relationships aren't bad per se, but the pressure of getting into one may get to your head... Next thing you know you're marrying someone you don't even love
After the first 6 months, there's really not much left. You know each other well enough and there's nothing to talk about anymore. It's pointless other than sex.
Completely! Lol! But then again just tone down the hype and they are actually pretty fantastic. I have to tone down the hype every time I think a girl is attractive.
Depends on the person. It’s not overrated in my opinion

It is VERY overrated Thank god someone asked this question. It crosses my mind often too. It’s also annoying babysitting someone for the sake of a relationship
Never, as long as the woman’s relationship with me is focused on the right part, which is my cock… if it’s me she’s thinking about, I’ve somehow given her entirely the wrong impression…
i dont think so with sexual relationships ya gotta understand em for the cold reality that they are and not the disney movie version you've been conditioned to believe for example relationships are a business/negotation/transaction/sales

Yes, Having a relationship doesn't make anything better unless both parties want to be in it and work together. I have always believed that it is better to be single than be in a relationship with the wrong woman.
