Why have a girlfriend?

[Hugh]

After reading Chases article on what to look for in a wife, it made me think, why would you have a girlfriend if you don't plan on marrying her? I understand it would give you experience on how to control and lead relationships, but in the time you have a girlfriend you could be meeting other potential wife material women. I see this as an easy way for a man to get lazy and wind up settling with a girl he would of otherwise not settled with. So why why date a girl you don't plan on marrying? I feel like the downside is greater than the upside. Would like to here what others think.

Thanks,
Hugh

Depend on what you want.

Having a girlfriend for example is more socially acceptable than just sleeping with girls and not having any steady relationships.

Also, being unmarried entails a level of commitment many people are comfortable with. Marriage on the other hand is a much greater commitment and some people are not ready/comfortable with that.

hugh,

yes. scientist says marriage is delusion. im sure most will be pissed by what i say. does this mean marriage is bad? no. some people just like each other's energy and it last them long enough it is considered a 'lifetime".

In my opinion you'll learn a few different things being in a relationship than you will in cold approach. It allows you to focus on different things regarding women. I think it's important to do at least once to have a different perspective.

Why eat ice cream?
Why watch a movie?
Why read a book?

...The reason is simple. All these things bring pleasure to your life. None of them last forever. That doesn't mean they're not worth doing. Plus, with a GF, you get the added benefit of improving as a man (probably) and learning things about yourself which you would never have known otherwise.

Don't get me wrong...if you're in a phase of your life wherein you're looking to find a wife and settle down, then yeah...having relationships you know lead no where are probably not worth it for you. But if you're younger and have no intention of getting married anytime soon, a "just for fun" type of relationship can definitely be worth it
