[ . . And I find sex to be much hotter when you're doing it with the girl you love rather than a girl in the club, but that's just me.

No it's not ! :D

Sex is 10x better when involved in a relationship ! :yesyes:

Who needs marriage when we're talking about relationship ? :p :D
 
Can there be both? How about an open relationship. I'll take that one. I get the love, romance and companionship without any strings attatched. :D
 
Relationship. Trying to find someone that you're compatible with and putting up with their misgivings takes a lot no matter how hot the sex is.
 

Rattrap

Doesn't feed trolls and would appreciate it if you
What about multiple relationships? Polyamory's the direction I've been taking for a short while now, but I'm discovering it to be vastly satisfying. See The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Catherinee Liszt.
 
Relationship lol.
the one i am in now is the greatest ever, but we have dated twice previously and we have known each other for like 5 years :p

Ash - Have you been in a meaningful 1 on 1 relationship ?

If not, it is magical. The "attached strings" only seem to enhance the experience, it's difficult to put into words. :o

However, when the shit hits the proverbial fan and the relationship goes south, it's hell !
You got me on that front.



Single: any advantages?? Dinner alone - again!! :(

Yea, wait 'till they've advanced past their twenties and they still haven't found a mate . . it's not so cool being single after all, huh ? :tongue: :1orglaugh

What's the difference between polyamory and swinging?
 
Relationship, was single for years off and on, fun, but no thanks not for me anymore
 
I'd better vote soon...or else be kicked out...and then Single??:1orglaugh
 
There's a period, after you go through, and then get over the initial hurt of a breakup, where being single is great. It's a blast. But for me, that feeling never lasts.

I hate being single for too long. The casual stuff just isn't for me.
 
This is the best way I can summarize how I see things:

being in a great relationship>>>>>>>>being single>>being in an descent/"average" relationship>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>being in a bad relationship

Being in a really good relationship has some really good upsides to it. For the somewhat small percentage of people who can keep a good relationship going on for a long time, congrats to you.

To me, the freedom of being single outweighs the baggage of a relationship that is anything less than a really good one. Of course, it is hard to quantify exactly what makes a awesome/great/good/descent/average relationship. It just comes down to how you feel in your heart.

But being in a bad relationship, oh man, let's just say I could have filled the screen with those > signs, but I didn't want to be a jerk about it.

I believe that the greatest problem lies in the fact that most relationships start out high on the good side of the scale, but by the time they become bad, if they do, leaving the relationship may be difficult, and the damage done can be extensive. My:2 cents:

I've been married for so long, I don't know what a relationship is anymore. Seriously, my wife is my everything. We never fight, rarely argue, usually disagree, and have transcended the whole drama thing. We learn alot from each other, and have experienced almost everything together. I would not want to go through life without her. We both know how really lucky we got with life. I voted relationship.
