why use time on the girlfriend / married race?

[Reverb256]

Because, control dramas.
I instantly and permanently rebel whenever anyone tells me what to do.
I see too much of that infuriating small-minded possessive bullshit, and I will not put up with it.
Ever.

My wife and I met on World of Warcraft, we flew across the country for months until we moved in together and two years later I proposed. We have been married six years now and we are very happy. She is my best friend, my lover, and my ever present gaming partner. Why would I not want this seems to be a better question, I get all the benefits of a relationship, a deep friendship, and I still game as much as when I was single because she games too.

My wife gives exceptional BJs. Like worldclass porno quility. Having that on demand is worth the price of admission, but when you combine that with making like 80K+ a year, being very attractive, having 32D's and most importantly being my best friend too... how can you not sign up for that shit.

FYI we've been together for 10 years and married for 7.

The feeling of genuinely caring about another person, and they caring about you, feels really good.

OP now is the age of the waifu. Keep yourself pure and find yourself a pure 2d maiden. Don't be fooled by the 3DPD!

Because one of the basest instincts a person has is to reproduce.
Beyond, that, though, it's the sense of connection, companionship, and the fact that you have someone to rely on. There aren't many people that will love you in your life, and family is "obligated" to love you. When someone chooses to love you, that's a different thing entirely.
I don't know how to put it exactly, but I feel like my fiancee completes me. I know it's cliche and commonly said, but it's true. I've had other girlfriends in the past, only two of which were serious, and I never felt this kind of connection to them.
In short, because it's simply just nice.

I 'm 26. Single. Had one relationship for about a year when I was 18. I gotta say it was fun at first but then I realized I did not like personality of that girl so we decided to end it ( she didn't want to at first but then agreed )

As years has passed I kinda miss the fun but at the same time I wouldn't want another relationship like that.

I do want a relationship but I have a hard time finding any good people anymore. I just can't stand most people. Their personalities annoy me too much.

[Ishimada]

People say I'm too gentle, and I should be more of an a-hole to find a girlfriend. And more open. I'm not really in hurry, I'm only 21, so I could find one on accident or something like that.

There's this one thing too what's affecting me (not very inspired to find one atm).

Everybody is different, no one can explain to you or tell you anything to change your mind. How you feel is how you feel. Of course people also tend to make up excuses to justify why they don't do something, when it's just to mask the truth of the matter. With all the bad you can name you could easily name a lot of good, and life is all about taking chances. You have to find the right person, and when you do, maybe you'll understand. Sometimes people refuse to see their own faults and make excuses for them. Sometimes a hopeless person will do nothing but focus on how pointless relationships are because they're afraid to have one, or have no hope of being in one when the truth is they desperately want one deep down. We all want to be loved.
