Why does everyone crave relationships so much?
Just curious, personally I pretty much stopped caring a while after I lost my virginity.
I used to feel lonely when I was a kid but nowadays I can go months without talking to anyone.
It seems like everyone is putting in so much effort into dating and socializing.
I don't dislike people, not at all, I just find that being social drains a lot of energy.
I don't get why people are in such a hurry in this hook up culture we live in, can someone explain what's going on? Am I weird?

>this hook up culture we live in
Statistically we are hooking up less than our parents, they just didn't have social media to parade it around.
There's nothing wrong with how you feel OP, do you. I personally enjoy friendships, I love good banter and hanging out.
Pretty much feel the same. I don't have many friends and the only friends i really have are close ones (i don't make any effort to make new ones tho). The reason why is i just don't mind being alone and as long as i have a pc im all set. My friends feel different tho and wanna go out and do stuff every other day because they feel bored sitting in their room.
Relationships feel good if done right. Like anything that feels good people want more of it. I personally prefer random pussy to relationships but I like a good relationship as well
in an increasingly desocialised world, people live more in their heads and become very idealistic to the point of being unable to distinguish it from reality
so all the virgins and losers earnestly think everyone that has sex and fun outside their parents' house are only hyper chads and hot sluts, FOMO ensues

That's weird; I lost my virginity a couple months ago and it's hard not to think about my next opportunity to get up in that soft, wet, silky goodness again. I found sex to be a great experience and I can't wait to experience it with someone who actually loves me and wants to commit to me.

I really don't know.
I've only had 2 or 3 really good friends throughout my entire existence on planet earth.
People in general don't seem to be comparable to immediate family.
I can't believe people seriously advocate for the removal of nepotism in society.

Do you intend to be alone all your life?
Without a woman, friends or family?

A part of me doesn't see what's so bad about that.
You primarily hear this from people that have a healthy social life, etc. They need the stability they get from the only life they know.
They fear the unknown.
It's obvious we didn't evolve to be so socially connected. The maximum number for human beings in our brain at any given time is 125.

Face it.
A small group of 30 is all that we're meant to interact with.
I believe that people who can be happy both in or out of a relationship are in the best place emotionally. People craving or obsessed with relationships are so focused on having one, they tend to ignore or miss warning flags about people who are not a good match or just not good people. They can end up making poor choices that they may end up living with for many years if not a lifetime. People who are incapable of maintaining relationships run the risk of a long lonely life. However, the reality is that even people who have relationships that last a long time may lose that at some point or through death of their loved one. Whatever the case they are best positioned to weather the storm and make it on their own.
Bottom line it is because Humans are naturally social creatures we thrive on attention
