Poll: Girlfriends: Are they worth the effort?

[MiracleOfSound]

2 nights ago, my GF cooked me dinner and then when I was tired and stressed she said 'why don't you go play videogames with your buddies'.

So yes, it is worth it if you can find the right person.

God damn people, get over yourselves.

Having a partner who you love and loves you back just as much in return is pretty much the most awesome thing you'll ever get in life.
My Girlfriend lives in the states, it's been a long two years and we've only met the once but I wouldn't change a thing.

Totally worth the effort.

Two long years of what? I'm sorry and I don't mean to mock, insult you or anything but how exactly is that a romantic relationship? Even if that one time you met, you went like bunnies... My friends brother in a similar position, yet he has NEVER even met his girlfriend, I constantly tell him it is not a relationship. I don't understand how it can be considered such, except by teenagers (young ones, 14) who don't know anything yet anyway.

Um... I don't get how you can consider it NOT a romantic relationship, unless you think relationships are built solely on going at it like bunnies. Surely two people who are incredibly happy together and talk a lot, yet don't get to see each other are in a far more romantic and successful relationship than two bitter, hateful people who see each other every day, yet barely talk or show any affection.

Pretty ignorant and patronizing to dismiss it as not a relationship, except for fourteen year olds who know nothing about it...

I personally don't feel that I need a girlfriend to be happy, so for me its a waste of time.
(although any sex is nice)

But for someone else, I guess its a matter of persistence and finding the right person for you.

I talk to girls, I get compliments from girls, hell, I hang out with girls. Every single time I ask a girl out, she goes and finds some random ass dude and says she like him better. Pisses me off, I think someone started a Rumor that I'm gay, and I'm not, so this getting fucking annoying. So, in short, I don't know what the fuck to tell you.

That is amazing. I have pretty much the same problem with girls. Only, everyone thinks I'm gay. Pretty much cause I'm eccentric, very sociable and have a lot of friends who are girls. Apparently, that's something a girl likes to find in a friend, but not in a partner. It's weird and most will say I'm exaggerating, but don't you ever feel like girls just go straight for the assholes most times?

It depends on what you want out of a relationship and the kind of person you are.

I'm the kind of guy who's fairly capable but unmotivated (I've gotten over the whole "I'm not as good as" High School syndrome.) When I'm single, I just laze about all day and don't accomplish much; the bare minimum for whatever it I'm doing. However, having a girlfriend gives my life structure. I wake up and know that I have a date in a few hours so I ned to get my self together. I know if I don't do my work my girlfriend will be dissapointed in me. This is just the kind of person I am. I want someone in my life to share my experiences with and to keep me motivated. Some people don't need this, I feel I do. If I could give you any advice it would be to find someone who's just like you in most ways. Ask them out on a date and see how it goes.

On the subject of sex, sex is a human need and it's basicly addictive. My girlfriend and I have sex fairly often but I still look up porn frequently when we can't be together. Everyone puts a different level of importance on sex, in their lives and in their relationships. To me, sex is very important in a relationship but not in my life. That is, when I'm with someone, we should be having good sex, otherwise something is wrong. On the other hand, if I was single, I am not going to risk my life just to have sex. However you feel, if you're in a relationship or looking for one, just remember: never underestimate sex.

since i am currently basically poor and can barely afford food my girlfriend buys me a bite to eat when i havent eaten in a while and i can say i am incredibly grateful for that.i love her to death and nothing can changed that

 

[RaikuFA]

HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE MAKE WOMEN DO STUFF FOR YOU?

i cant even get my foot in the door.

 

[Aunel]

Some of them are. Unfortunately, most of the ones I'm surrounded by are prostitutes and/or idiots.

you're a ninja!

and QFT,

not that any girl would want me anyway, all I do is play bass, all I can do is play bass.

 

[Ham_authority95]

I personally prefer being single and having drunken fun in clubs every weekend.

Huzzah for freedom!

Having a relationship is not important in itself, but I think it's pretty important for a number of reasons:

1. Having a good gf gives you a support system that everyone needs
2. masturbating does not compare to the intimacy of body-on-body contact. It just doesn't. Rosie Palms is someone that you visit when you're lonely and desperate most of the time.
3. Women aren't always the troublesome nags that people often complain about. A girlfriend can be the most wonderful thing to happen to your self-esteem, feelings of self worth, relaxation, comfort, and overall well-being. The only trouble is finding ones that are compatible.
4. Love is just as blissful and beautiful as it can be painful. For many, it's well worth it.

Not having a gf this far in your life is nothing to be ashamed of for several reasons. One: you're not alone, I didn't have a gf until I was 20. Two: having a highschool gf is rarely worthwhile because you're still growing and learning about yourself. When you've got that much more maturing to do, anything before adulthood is usually puppy love. Hope that helps!

 

[SoulkeeperX]

Meh, I don't think it's worth it, you go through the effort to find one, and she'll eventually dump you anyway, leaving you worse off than you were before, meaning you take a step forward, and two steps back. So I'm gonna say no.

 

[Brandon237]

I'm not actively searching but haven't yet given up on getting a relationship to quote a person much earlier on this thread. Every girl I have been interested in has definitely been the wrong one for me. I wouldn't go out with most of the girls who I have felt a chemical attraction to so yeah, single.

I'll wait for a girl who I am good friends with first. At least if they are your friends you know you get along with them a bit.

 

[klaynexas3]

girls are all i live for. i'm not talking like a player type thing, but someone to love, and who loves you back. and please, never, ever use emo like that again, that really offends me, cause i have a lot of friends that are emo, hell, one of them is the only one that cares about me, so don't do it again. also, i can be classified as emo. look, i don't have a girlfriend, but i'd give anything to have someone i'm in love with and that is also in love with me. just keep trying.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Well if you find a good girl it's great. My girlfriend never nags and loves to play xbox, so it's a win win. And OP, once you have a "romantic relationship" you'll realize what you've been missing. I lost my virginity a year ago (at 17). Don't worry, you've still got time.

Um... I'm 28, so yeah...

I realize, that explaining this love thing to someone like me is like trying to describe a colour to a blind person, but at the moment it sounds to me like it's a nice to have thing but actually persuing a relationship is too damn hard (for me). Like, you know, playing 20 hrs of FF13 just to get to the slightly better parts. No, damn it, I don't think so. Going back to my booze now...

The first step to get a girlfriend at 28 years old is to not use analogies from Mass Effect in conversation.

 

[Warwelde]

I would love having a girlfriend, just the idea of being close to someone you really love sounds like heaven.

But, but... Mass Effect is freakin' awesome. Shame over any girls who dismiss it.

Girlfriends are as much worth the effort as boyfriends are, and it really varies from person to person; not every girlfriend is going to be worth it, but some absolutely will be.
