Is it normal i find relationships burdensome?

Everyone seems so obsessed with finding a partner and love.
I don't know why it's such a big deal for everyone.
I think having a girlfriend would be a huge burden for me.
I seriously don't see what good could come from it.

    I'm pretty much the same way.

    There is a small minority of men that say that it's cheaper to rent a woman than to own one. Most men would rather have an emotional connection, but let's just say that you'd rather have a prostitute.

    • I have no interest in prostitutes.
      I would only have sex with a girl I wanted as a friend but I wouldn't want a relationship either.

        I see. Lots of women want friends with benefits. You should be in good shape there dude.

        • I used to think that but they usually end up wanting a relationship later on. I have plenty of female friends that I hang out with all the time but most of them are in relationships as well.
          I actually have begun to prefer to simply have women to hang out with than have sex.

          I am also on medication that has practically killed my sex drive. I'm not sure I can even have sex anymore. In a way it was kind of a good thing because it made me realize there are so many more important things that can be accomplished when sex and love are not an issue.

    I agree with you wholeheartedly. I believe in getting as much out of existence as I possibly can. And I intend to improve upon the world as much as my will will allow me.

    The "love" society wants us to believe--settling down--is an encumbrance.

    Love should be something that is happened upon and never sought. It should just come about through life's journey's. When it does happen it should be embraced and experienced fully and allowed to burn out naturally. Not forced, as if trying to return a dying flame to its former brilliance.

    I've been quite preachy lately . . .

    • Makes sense. I've tried relationships in the past but it didn't work out. Both times it just happened and I wasn't wanting a relationship at the time as well.
      It was incredibly difficult to maintain though no matter how well we got along. Maybe we didn't get along as well as it seemed though. I feel more relaxed when I am single and don't like being limited or commited to anything. If I cannot do whatever I want I do not feel satisified.

    If I'm being very honest with myself. . . Love is evolutions way of getting humans to procreate. It causes us to believe that love is the sole, if not highest, priority to our existence. I agree that it is an important life goal but it is a purely selfish one.

    It is part of what forces people in to compalcency and stifles the progress of our species by perpetuating the rationale, "I've got a decent paying job and the love of my life. Life is complete . . ."

    Despite this, love is the salt of life, without which life would be too bland.

    So . . . Yes and no. I guess . . .

    • That's what confuses me about it. It doesn't really accomplish anything but there's always going to be problems dealing with anyone.
      I seem to want very different things out of life than most people. I don't care about money either. It's not like you get to keep any of it in the end anyways.
      What I want out of life is to experience as much of it as I can. Settling down in any way ever sounds like a horrible waste of this existence.

    Don't knock it til you try it. But, I think its normal to feel this way. I didn't care for boyfriends, never sought out one. He just came my way one day.
