I'm curious about why it's so appealing.
I've never had the slightest urge to "Date" or engage in any sort of intimate activity with the opposite sex.
Or anybody, for that matter.
Basically, why do people feel a need to pick a single person of the opposite sex and marry them and live together through thick and thin?
To me, that sounds more like a good friend than a husband/wife.
And why does it have to be the opposite sex?
I'm not insinuating gay behavior, but personally I think I get along just as good with my friends who are guys as my friends who are girls.
There's nothing remarkable about one or the other, we're just friends.
And if I were to pick a mate, someone to be with in my life, why not pick my best guy friend?
Isn't it the same as being "close as brothers"?
All in all, my essay is to argue that current age social bonds are too stereotypical for everyone's own good.
Tradition = Peer Pressure.
Huh this is a very interesting point.
For me personally, I see people as the people themselves, not by any physical characteristics, but who they are. I have some people that I would consider as brothers and sisters definitely. But some of my best friends that are women; I'm not friends because of any physical characteristics they have, but because I really like them as people and they accept me as a person and who I really am. By their acceptance of my existence, I feel I can express myself more to those people regardless of being a guy or girl.
*sighs
Sorry that was deep, basically they would be my important people if you know what I mean.

Exactly.
To tell you the truth, when I was young I didn't have anyone like that. I was alone. But I didn't mind it that much because I was creative and got along well with myself. But when I moved and I found people who accepted me, it filled a gap that I had for a long time.
Yep that's enough of the sob story, the only problem with being alone is that it really makes you into a cold person, and I shudder when I think about those times. I thought perfection would cure myself, but in the end perfection was out of reach. I wasn't emo or anything, just a bit lonely.
Anyways I am kind of glad that happened to me because I'm unusually calm and patient. and not provoked easily.

I can relate, I'm pretty much a hermit.
It's not like I live mile away from civilization, but my town is very much not my type and when I leave the house I leave this area.
I wouldn't describe myself as cold or cruel, or even antisocial, I just tend to be very direct and straightforward.
Those who live in todays world are mostly run by emotions and drama, rather than decisive thinking;
Hot tempered, filled to the brim with hip phrases, and extremely ignorant.
Countless times I've stated a fact to someone, only to have them blow up for being rude.
Again, the doings of modern society.
Back on topic, I pick all my friends and use them as resources, not mindless entertainment.
Sure, I'll go to the movies or do some fun activity, it's embedded into the human DNA to seek thrills and chills, kicks and giggles, but I'm always weary that the people I'm with are not simply idle minds.
I always enforce that my actions contribute to the expansion of knowledge, or a goal of the future, setting aside my anime, otherwise it's a waste of my time, and therefor my life.
I'd rather be lonely than in bad company. - Chabitsku Ryoma : Just now

Same here, and definitely agree with the last sentence

This is because all creatures in existence, from the tiniest microbe, to the biggest whales, are born into this world with one objective to accomplish before they die: Pass on their seed. In short, we exist for the purpose of procreation. All creatures have a deep instinctive, almost carnal, desire to mate and create young to carry on their legacy. I think that the feeling of "love" is merely a tool that leads to said procreation.
I must be an exception, because I never feel that way. Though actually I never rely totally on my feelings, I think not feel for most of the time. I think though you are somewhat right, but I think I kind of banished those kind of feelings a while ago.

Yeah so then you're like me, you don't need to be labeled as girlfriend and boyfriend to be close to someone whose company you enjoy.
no one needs to be labelled gf/bf to be close to someone, everyone excepts that. and near enough everyone has a friend there close to and enjoy there company, its not uncommon.
although i couldnt for the life of me be a hermit, i need company, ppl to talk to or i get quite lonely

i don't know if other people might think this is weird but i really don't look at gender at all XD if the person works well with me and all that then i just talk to them. but this gave me many troubles.... because of this there are times that other people label me as "cold hearted". and reason is that, "she's a girl you should be more nice to her" XD i'm very direct person i don't go around the bush at all. if i see something not right then i tell them and that gives me trouble XD i know people get hurt when the truth is bad but i think it's better for that person in a long run.
"she's a girl you should be more nice to her"
i probably will never get married.
It really irritates me when people say stuff like that. i view it as some form of sexism. i mean o wow she is female that means even if she a bitch or being means you sahould still be ncie to her. i think not. i mean the idea works but should be used on everybody not just women. Men and women are the equal and the same (not in gender ofcourse) or atleast should be.
