   I never thought it very healthy how so many people make finding a SO a priority. Many of them hoping from one relationship to the next.

   I have spent most of my life single. Being in a relationship was an exception I enter in reluctantly with women I fall meaningfully and deeply in love with in a mutually enriching and rewarding way.

   I think many people just aren't happy alone and that is a failing we are all best to overcome if we can.

     @freemo One who can't maintain a healthy relationship with himself has no hope to be able to establish one with someone else.

     @freemo I find people with problems start looking for relationships in order to have something to rely on and to drive away their sadness. That is valid in a way, but I also find that the ones that look at relationships as a way of escapism instead of mutual growth very rarely get over their issues.

     @johnlitt yea id agree, the irony is that at least to me, people who "secured a mate" if anything I have an opposite bias (though perhaps a bias i should work against". Usually if i see a marred person my first thought is "wow, they were so desperate not to be alone they had to marry them!"
