It is like saying that, on average, everyone spends 4 weeks in prison. It is statistically right (being an average of the whole population) but it doesn't actually fit most people as most people don't even spend time in prison or, if they do, they spend longer than 4 weeks. this applies especially to things like close relationships as it is one of the most individual parts of someone's life | ||

If it's SEEN, I have no idea, and wouldn't be interested since that's just a public poll. If it's whether or not it actually is...that's not a yes or no question. It varies case by case of course, so how could any answer be helpful? There are way to many factors to consider. At what age? In what society? What kind of relationship is it? How are you judging, or rating having a girlfriend? For something to be overrated there must be, at least seemingly, a general consensus to the value of something, which then when analyzed is actually seen as overemphasizing said value... So who is generating the consensus? I'm not aware of any. As far as i'm concerned, having an attractive, smart, successful, and nice woman as a girlfriend would be great. However, dating someone quite the opposite wouldn't necessary be that great, no? So there seems to be another factor...the girl! These people who answer with other questions like, "is living overrated"? "Is having a job overrated?", have no idea why they are saying that. They are the people who just do things, but don't ask why they are doing them (i.e. they are the people Day[9] tries to get you not to be. You should have a reason for what you're doing. Honestly, the OP is poorly written, poorly defined, purposeless. The responses reflect that. | ||

The reason I say this is because the time and money investment is so large, when I think it's more important to look at your future. There is just this impression that people have that they need to have sex to be happy, and if they don't because they are following other goals they are losers. It's once you have a harsh break-up when you see how fragile everything is, and when you are young the chances of everything failing are so large, in my opinion it's not worth the trouble. If it's sexual desire you're after, you can go party, stuff happens pretty often... A relationship though... I dunno it makes life less lonely, but you sacrifice a lot for it. | ||

I've come to accept that being a lone isn't the worst thing in the world, sure I never get laid anymore but I'd rather wait for someone I really care for then feign and not enjoy a girls presence. Ha this thread makes me a bit sad... | ||

Sex generally is better with a girlfriend/boyfriend because you have the emotional attachment opposed to a fuck buddy or hooker. Also hookers aren't usually a way someone can have a healthy sex life unless they do have a lot of money to spare, as each night would cost a hundred or more dollars. Friend's with benefits, say what you will, are not that easy to find for younger Starcraft people. It becomes more common once you get older, but in high-school it's rare because people are afraid to be called sluts, and usually the drug users are the stuff that participate in stuff like that. Starcraft players mostly smart and avid weed smokers, or more casual party people, or just nerds, regardless it isn't easy finding someone. College and University lots of things change, but at that point you can start looking for someone you want to spend your life with. | ||

Yeah, but even you yourself completely refute the idea that sex is inherently better in a relation. Some people are better at sex than others. A relationship doesn't change that. It feels like these people are desperately trying to justify for themselves why their relationship is better than people who have one-night stands. | ||

If two people like each other, how can this attraction be overrated? what does that even mean? | ||
