Relationships are tricky. I would even call them stupid. Yet, everyone is on this constant journey to find the perfect partner.
People have this idea of the perfect partner that will drop whatever he or she is doing to come over and comfort you.
He or she will blow off friends to watch a movie with his or her “babe.” He or she will do just about anything, all in the hopes of “getting it on” sometime in the future.
Relationships are a waste of time. Everyone is just looking for one thing: sex.
What do relationships really do for us? They steal our money, our free time, our grades and sometimes our friends.
Doing all this for sex seems to be a bit extreme. So why don’t you just do the logical thing, find someone who wants to have sex with you without the stress of being in a relationship?
In other words, find a friend with benefits.
After watching the movie “No Strings Attached” this weekend, I now think a sex buddy is 10 times greater than a girlfriend or boyfriend.
It has all the benefits of being in a relationship minus the jealousy, crazy exes and money spent to make a good impression.
You use the other person for your needs, and let them use you for theirs. It’s a win-win scenario.
Of course, ground rules would have to be set up so both parties know what they are getting into. And an eject button must be close at hand, in case things get too serious.
Let’s be honest. We’re in college. How many of us are actually looking for a husband or wife?
We’re young; we have plenty of time to find our soul mate.
But in the meantime, for some reason we find it necessary to jump from relationship to relationship in order to fill this void of loneliness and boredom.
We’re here to get an education and to start a career that will take us somewhere in life.
Relationships distract us from that, and as bad as it might sound, I’m too selfish to sacrifice my free time to spend with someone who is going to be out of my life in a matter of months.
I’m not saying that I think people should sleep around the whole time they are in college; just don’t be so childish as to think that you have to be in a relationship to be happy.
If we are old enough to live on our own, pay bills and make our own rules, then are old enough to have a casual sex relationship with another person and not fall head over heels in love.
As stated in “No Strings Attached,” “monogamy goes against our basic nature.”
