Anonymous(36-45)+1 yHaha, I feel like that was more of a rant than a question. With your attitude, of course a relationship won't work... But whatever floats your boat. There are women who feel the same way as you do. I don't think it's necessarily a gender thing. I think that some people prefer relationships for a few reasons... In no particular order:
a) They want to trust whomever they're sleeping with, and "know where that's been." If you're not sleeping around, but are consistently with the same person, then your risk of any diseases is much lower.
b) Sex is better with someone you care about. It just is.
c) If you do really care about someone, you don't want to share them.
d) Sure, sometimes relationships end and someone's left heart-broken. But that doesn't mean that you didn't have an amazing time while you were together. And if you don't open up and actually take the time to get close to people, then how are you supposed to know what's best for you when you do find it?
e) People are so proud and excited to be seeing someone they feel is so special that they want to announce it to the world, but giving each other boyfriend/girlfriend titles.
f) You're not going to be that intimate with someone (physically and emotionally) if you barely know them. Sure, you can stick it in whoever you want, but meaningless sex really does get boring after a while. When you connect with someone on other levels, you're going to be happier with the outcome.
g) It's nice to have someone to go to the movies with, etc. instead of being the third wheel when you hang out with your friends and their better halves.
... Etc.
Personally, I enjoy being single. But if the right person comes along, I don't object to taking a chance. Some of my happiest moments have been with people I was dating, and even though those relationships are over, I don't regret them. :)73 Reply- +1 y
i wasn't always like this regardless of what you and others may think. I was able to make my relationship work for a year and 2 months so obviously I did something right. shouldn't make assumptions about people. iam like this because I had a knife put in my back so whatever think whatever the f*** you want really
Opinion Owner+1 yI didn't mean that you CAN'T make relationships work, or that you haven't in the past. I'm just curious as to why you're so bitter and dead-set against them. If you were in a relationship for that long, then you obviously didn't hate it for the first 12 months or so. People are going to be d***s, you just have to get over it :/ This wasn't meant to be a personal stab at you. You asked why people like being in a relationship, and I answered you.

lol you just said I can't make relationships work in your second sentence. iam bitter because I was betrayed. so iam pretty much convinced the human race just wants to f*** each other anyway. its just people go on trying to be noble about it or try to hide it.

Girls get attached weather they say they won't or not it's just in our nature during the mating proccess and can't be stopped, it's jsut in our genetic make-up, my friend who used to have a lot of one night stands said a part of her felt attached when she slept with someone, I know what she means because I have had a few flings too, not been like her it just randomly happened and I did feel slightly attached, the attachment level depends on the good of a job you did in bed, there is one guy who I'm friends with and we like each other, we have fooled around a few times, of course he's back in scotland while I moved back to england again and I got really attached to him because he did better than any guy I've messed around with, it was amazing every time. Since we all the child bearers it is just instinctive, of course the more stronger the attachment the more the women feels is right to share their dna with them, it fasinates me how our own bodies have their way of telling who is worthy enough of us. It is not our faults though, it's why most guys only do it with us once then move onto another girl because if were sex buddies it also gives us a chance to get familiar and more comfortable with you.

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yI feel your pain; it seemed to me that all girls that talked to me for 10-15 minutes thought I was their boyfriend!
It was annoying as hell.
But girls are hardwired that way, and we are hardwired the other way - so the only thing to do, which I did, was to sleep with the ones I wanted to, and made it crystal clear to them that sex was their only option; that they would never get me in a relationship and they would have to take it or leave it. Most of the accepted it.

Because girls want to feel as if they are valued and that the guy they are with is worthy of their talents, if you can't show a girl commitment, then your not going to get much sex, because guys who use women for sex, will end up with a reputation most girls won't touch with a flag pole, so be prepared to end up a very lonely boy, good luck.

863 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. That's not true. My best friend right now is having casual sex with no intention and no wanting to be in a relationship with anyone.
Hookers don't want to be with every one of their clients.
Most of the people staring in p*rn are probably not in relationships.
A day to day girl just wants the security and knowing there's someone there to talk to and offload and to meet their needs emotionally.
There are girls out there who don't want it.

i don't know really, I just don't believe in love. I believe in attraction that's it really then people just usually get bored of each other and break up. so what's the point in getting hurt?
well you sound like your upset now but eventually you will calm down and realize that relationships aren't that bad... yeah maybe your one of those guys who don't want to do the whole relationship and marriage thing but most people just want to fall in love and do all that stuff. Yeah there are some people who hook up but girls have strong emotions and tend to bond during sex. It is all science based stuff. Anyway I't has to do with having someone to rely on when women have sex were really varnable so we are putting trust in a guy who is doing us lol. We want support and to feel safe these thing come with being in a relationship.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yIf you don't want a relationship, then its fine. Just make sure to tell the girl what you want and that you don't have any intention of a relationship. Either you get bitch slapped or you get what you want. But if you don't do it, you would have to put up with a girl who un-fortunally has feelings for you.
Dont need to be such a jerk about it.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. You just move on.

It's genetics. I swear. Some women chose to ignore that part of them and be whores, yes. But that's the primal reaction for 99% of women: To seek a relationship. Take it or leave it, I give you facts.
- +1 y
I think you're completely right. =) Women can be whores, too, as the Question Asker said, but -genetically- and on a far more basic, primal level, it makes sense for me to go impregnate as many women as possible--that way his genes get passed down more frequently. A woman can sleep around to increase her chance of getting impregnated, but her primary goal is to find someone who will care for that baby with her--and that's someone who you're more likely to find in a relationship than casual sex.
- +1 y
Nonsense! All your figures and statistics are not accurate, 99%?
It is a choice. You are in control of your brain and emotions. Women desire a relationship with the one they are sleeping with because they think it's the right thing to do. They don't want to be called names and they don't want to be viewed/used as sex toys or something.
A LOT of men get attached easily too, so what does that tell us? Of course, we can always find a theoretical study, word it beautifully and hide behind it! - +1 y
You, sir, are not a woman. What do you know of the inner-workings of a woman's mentality? Each is entitled to their opinion, and I have stated mine. Take it or leave it.
I like having someone there as my closest friend, with whom I can be sexually intimate but also emotionally intimate. Love is a beautiful and powerful thing. Don't close your heart to it. Yes, it can hurt, but all of that pain is worth it when you find the right person.

i would agree with you. my ex cheated on me, and when she did she came and had sex with me while she was banging this other guy behind my back. made me feel really gross. funny though she made this guy her new boyfriend and I told him that we had sex basically the day after she had sex with her. so what does that make her? dirty filthy f***ing whore, and a thief. he's a thief and an ex con, and apparently there getting married after maybe 2 weeks of knowing each other sometimes I wonder how that panned

As other have said , we're evolutionary required to want relationships. It's not bs it makes a lot of sense if you think about it.

this is a terrible attitude from the asker, just cuz of one "bad woman" doesn't mean you can't find a better woman and a healthy, long lasting relationship in the future-you should always be the nice guy, assholes are the lowest grade of male who only hurts woman and pushes himself away form the good catches. great relationships with a loyal, good woman is worth so much more than a bunch of meaningless sex flings
They don't always want one. From my perspective, I don't want the responsibilities of a relationship but I want to know the person I'm sleeping with isn't sleeping with anyone else (or WANTS to) and thinks I'm a level 12 kind of cool. That's all I want. Why is that so hard to find?

Maybe they don't work because of you, maybe it isn't that they don't work in general? My parents have a rocky relationship,however they're still together after 25 years, and they don't seem to be leaving any time soon. People in general have their own individual reasons for wanting to be in one,some reasons might be similar to others. All relationships end in grief. Whether its because of death or any other reason. if you don't give a sh*t about people, why are you even asking us this loaded question?

Lol,i'm the 'retard', yet I'm not asking a loaded question,or using fallacious arguments.
So, because I made a statement about something that is 'obvious' you believe I deserve an 'ass whooping'. So what, 50% of people today often rush into marriage,or get a divorce because of economic reasons, which is also a well known fact. Why stay around with someone who doesn't have a job and can't support a family,which is the main point behind marriage aside from someone you can trust etc. - +1 y
Everything in life is the 'flip of a coin'. "miracles" do not happen. That is the small chance of success you have in life, or that very unfortunate event that happens to some people. Like having a plane crash into your house, very unlikely to happen, but it has happened to the very few who are unlucky.

The fact you lash out in anger like a child throwing a tantrum over not getting his way or agreement is laughable. Sure, an ass whooping, but who doesn't carry a gun these days or some form of weapon? You have no emotional discipline if that is how you behave in public.

Girls don't always want a relationship. There are a decent amount who just want sex and that's it. If you feel that way about relationships, don't have them. I felt that way for two years and all I did was f*** around. Eventually feel like giving one a go, maybe, and then you can. Don't sit there and think that all girls just want a relationship though, because you're misleading yourself.

nobody can really know if somebody loves them, I thought my ex loved me but I was dead wrong. honestly I care more about myself then anyone else besides my family and a few of my close friends. I want sex that's it, nothing else. that's the only kind of connection I feel like making with women. most women I know in my town are shallow whores anyway
I think... to affirm themselves of where they stand with you. If you have feelings for someone then you want to be able to say that they're yours. If there is no relationship then there aren't really any boundaries to what you are. Another thing is that it distinguishes you from all the other girls. Being called someone's girlfriend means that out of all the females he associates with, you're the most important, and sometimes girls like/want that. If any of that makes sense at all...

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yIt's genetic. When girls have sex, a hormone called oxytocin is released, which causes them to become attached to the other person. And if you were as cold hearted as you make yourself out to be, no girls would be falling in love with you.

according to your logic, if I had sex with them they would
Opinion Owner+1 yI said 'attached', not 'fall in love'. It's in our genetic makeup. Falling in love is different, it's all about the person. And you're right, there is a difference between infatuation and love, and a lot of girls get confused between the two. But if you really want to have no strings attached one night stands, you need to make it very very clear to the girl, and not show any signs of liking her. If you want just sex, that's all you have to do.
