Guys, Other than feeling lonely, is there any reason to have a relationship with a woman?

I think there's lots of reasons to have a relationship.

Lonely, want family, want connection or affection, you feel there's more to life that you are missing, someone to share life experiences with... like travel, dinner. someone to talk to after work, to plan life with, etc.

I've lived a lot more in a short time with my wife than I would have alone in terms of travel, food, experiences with people, places I've seen, intimacy. As well, my life was a repeating record and getting married has added a lot of new learning and adventures I wouldn't have had otherwise.

A relationship can pull you out of the rut you are in and put you in a new place, maybe a better one. One aspect is you may be challenged to change or perspective moreso than ever.

... the dark side of the force...

A relationship requires work... learning about yourself, the other, your mutual needs, communicating and resolving differences and learning to have more good than bad. It's easy to destroy a house, it's conscious effort to build one. They can go really bad, or they can go really good. I think core values would be at the center of that, but there's wiggle room if the two are flexible. Also plan on evolving because everything changes.

No doubt though, two together, working together, is better than one. One can be ok and do very well. And two together can be awful. You get to make your choices, and do your best.

Yup and but we don’t need women for loneliness because we can get that from our buddies or a dog

[msc545]

I think there is. A relationship removes barriers. It inserts an intimate vulnerability that binds you closer together in a wonderful, words-can't-describe-way. A relationship makes both of you stronger. A relationship minimizes flaws because a well-matched pair will make up for each other. And, relationships are fun. Exclusivity is good for us. A relationship allows you to share in ways that not all acquaintanceships, friendships, FWBships, etc., allow you to do. Relationships allow you to connect. They allow you forever. They allow you room to change and grown and fail and make mistakes and rebuild.

Being lonely is for me no reason to enter a relationship because being lonely could put me in a position where I seem needy towards a woman. If I´m lonely I look for friends instead because they rather have my back in hard times and it also puts me in a less depending position towards a single person. I´d enter a relationship with a woman to find a partner on a deeper and more intimate level than friends could provide.

It feels nice to have the intimacy with someone that you enjoy spending time with and being able to enjoy doing things with. Sex is another part of it, but in the long run it is the company of sharing your life with someone who is about the same things in life as you are.

In theory the woman can contribute to your life with a little extra income, someone to help with the chores, make a good meal from time to time. I’ve honestly lost interest in forming connections with women

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. I enjoy making other people happy. I enjoy providing customer service, and I enjoy hosting and being hospitable. I like putting smiles on other people's faces. So I want a romantic relationship with a woman so I can touch her heart and give her a magical experience. That would give me a lot of personal fulfillment.

To make friends despite most popular beliefs most men and women can actually have good friendship that stays as only friends and not have it turn into something romantic.

I do have at least 101 reasons but...

all of these come from the positive experiences in my personal life, I really doubt others with the quite troubled and problematic, traumatizing experiences could ever relate to it, so...

I was not lonely. I had friends both male and female. If I wanted sex I could probably have found that too. I don't know if it is something that was hardwired into my DNA but I was just ready to get married.
