Depends on what kind you find,

Is having a girlfriend overrated? Yes.
Is finding your soulmate overrated? Not one bit.

This. Am I in a more or less traditional boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? No. But I do have someone who is very, very close to me that is a girl that I've known for seven years. I get a lot more happiness simply talking to her than spending all that time and money on any other girl that I've actually dated.

Consistent consensual sex with someone you respect, find attractive and have some level of feelings/attachment to.
Not overated.

When you meet the right one, it's never overrated. If it's the wrong one it's overrated.

Solved.

You hear people making these statements and see them writing blogs about it?? Bitter people who are going through rough patches with their significant other or just recently broke up may blog about that shit...

sharing your life with someone else is always a good thing. friends are great, but there is a level of intimacy you can never achieve with them. besides, eventually you want to get married, right?

This. It's like finding the other half of you.

Some people want a girl for the sake of it, that's bad in my view

It's a good excuse and an easy way to become extremely close to someone and learn a lot about yourself as well as human interaction. I like most aspects of it. If you're in a shitty relationship just gtfo.

Maybe it is. If you had asked me this awhile ago, I would have said !(@(* love it's a stupid, useless concept, and everyone cheats anyway right?, but I love my girlfriend and she is also my best friend. (It sounds cheesy, I know, but that's really how I feel)

I'm not saying it's all sunshine, we fight all the times, and on some days I feel like utter crap due to how I feel about her, but that high that it can provide is completely irreplaceable and needs to be chased, imo.

.. not that you NEED someone to be happy.(several people who are this way have already expressed their opinion) I'm just saying that for *some* people, it IS a huge boon to their happiness.

Having a partner just means finding someone equally ugly as yourself.

I was always amazed at how it seem on TL that it was so cool to have a gf. It's an insecurity thing i guess.
Where I live it's more of a choice than anything else, and wether or not you have found the someone you like.

I think that the people who say it's overrated are the ones who haven't been in a relationship or have been in bad relationships in the past. Finding that special person out there really adds something to your life that you won't be able to appreciate unless you have experienced it so I say it's not overrated.
