That's why you can't compare it to a actual job, where it 99% of the times the other way around.

Yeah but you don't have to throw money at your job hoping you make it happy. TEEHEEE!!!

I agree with what another guy said on page 1...
girlfriend = overrated
soulmate = yes please

yeah, and she is less appreciative when you start looking for a new job because your current pay sucks.

Posts like these make me sick, although it was probably ment ironic one should not say those things. I am well aware that we are not living in the flower paradise but seriously, are you willingly living together with someone and reducing it to that ?

Maybe you should not look at threads you don't want to read, you are the worst type of forum troll, adding nothing to the current discussion but being absolutely rude.

on another note, i think having a significant other is very important to us instinctively, we are social creatures after all.

Good one. Agreed.
But what if you finally meet one you don't need to argue and understand each other ?

What sad outlooks on relationships. Its more than just sex. In a HEALTHY relationship it is a companion who makes you a better person, and you make her a better person. Its also a best friend, who's there to support you and love you. Its someone you can physically and emotionally open yourself up to. It is someone to sleep next, someone to hold you, someone to call you out out on your bullshit, and someone to catch you when you fall and pick you back up again.

Having relationships make you a better person, end of story. I'm going to venture a guess that most of you who say things like its just sex or its just arguing have never truly been in a healthy relationship/ are bitter about lost love/ have never gotten into a relationship and throw up mindless banter in a pathetic defense mechanism.

Theres no sense in getting into a relationship, if you don't plan on being committed. That being said, having a gf is only as overrated as you want it to be. If you don't plan on dealing with all of the things that come with a relationship, then don't be in one. Also, everyone wants someone sooner or later regardless of who they may be, people search for intimacy wether they realize it or not.

Everything is overrated, right? So in the most basic sense, yes.
BUT.
The real question is "is having a girlfriend worth the emotional, financial, and time investment?" Which isn't something that has a simple yes/no answer.
Basically, it depends on the person you're with, how much you enjoy their company, how much spare time you have, etc. There's no way to know until you go out there and find out.

Mods, please. What are you guys doing letting a troll (Telsh, not firehand101) like this stay ?

EDIT: I meant firehand101 not Telsh. I'm terribly sorry Telsh, for the confusion.

Hmm, its a difficult question and I would say more it depends on the age and maturity of both of you. If you are below 21, I have a 95% confidence in saying yes having a girlfriend is overrated. I still think its important to have a few up until you are 21 to learn how to deal with rejection and to get confidence in yourself, but actually having one is vastly overrated. In the mid 20s though I can say that having a girlfriend isn't overrated, its nice to have someone to look after and vice versa.

Overrated compared to sitting alone home everynight, playing WoW and stuffing your face with chips and candy? Not overrated at all

Overrated to a active social life, meeting girls "casually" as in **** buddies? No not at all.


The girlfriend experience only seems overwhelmingly awesome if you are the first type, but if you have a good social life and nice set of girls it can be a downgrade depending on the girl.

This topic is kind of confusing, but I'll just go ahead and say "no" to the original question.

A lot of people have pretty retarded views on relationships around here it seems. A girlfriend is like paying for sex? Really? I've never viewed a single relationship like that, and I don't feel any of my girlfriends have either. If sex were all I wanted, I wouldn't go out and look for a girlfriend; I'd just buy a hooker.

Companionship is something that is never overrated. I'm not afraid to admit that I need a woman in my life if I want to be optimally happy. If I don't have a girlfriend I can be content with how everything's going, and of course enjoy my time with friends, but I'd really rather just have somebody close to me.
