You keep arguing for the sake of arguing.
Nothing in my post was an assumption or a generalization, it was an example of a differing viewpoint.
Sex to you is more enjoyable with someone you respect and admire(love) as opposed to just a short spurt of sexual enjoyment(multiple partners, one night stands).
I have had many partners throughout my life of different sexes and backgrounds. I am currently in a monogamous relationship and I prefer that type of sexual relationship. I like having my best friend as my sexual partner. I like spending and sharing our life together. That's me, how you are or what you enjoy is your thing. I don't know what your sexual or emotional life is like, and frankly I do not care. My point is that for many people having multiple sexual relationships all the time is pointless from a sexual and emotional level.
How so?
Ahh, I get it now. You're the only one qualified to determine the truth in other people's experiences.

How isn't it? Seriously, that's a better question. Obligation is stifling. Why would I eat Lasagna every night forever? Sounds a lot like prison.

Jeez I'm not god. I'm not the only one qualified, but it would appear that I'm the only one qualified within this thread. Yes. You're finally catching on, trust me, and become more objective, you'll see wisdom in my words.

Arguing about a point that was never made is like arguing with an imaginary friend and pretending he stole your sandwich when it was you who ate it.

You are confusing being extroverted with confidence. The two are not mutually exclusive as has been said in this thread time and time again. It isn't I or anyone else that is wrong here it is you. At some point your married friends were confident enough in themselves to talk to another human being and engage in social behavior. Just like my own shy introverted husband did. Being quiet and reserved have zero impact on your level of confidence.

yeah right, exactly what I'd expect a married person to say in a public forum. Everyone knows married people are miserable, this is no secret, stop playing games. Grow up.

...if you weren't so monogamous you'd possibly learn to see how amazing so many people are. And you might stop assuming things like just because relationships are short that they are somehow disrespectful?

I made out with a very cute girl last night. She has a BF. Sure ain't the first time I've been in that situation. Judge she and I all you want, but I'm trying to teach you the truth here. Societies ideas of love and relationships are sick. They drive people to lie and do hurtful things. Think about it, by not making our relationship "serious" this young lady and I can be completely open and honest about ourselves with ourselves. Who wouldn't want that?
Should I be worried about a girl who has a BF, and is there a moral issue there? Who cares. I'm a human my motivation is new experiences everything else falls away, and just because someone has done something silly like believe in the idea of a significant other, that's not my problem. Why should I cut myself off from amazing experiences simply because someone else made a bad investment.

Put your "love" of arguing aside for one second, take a deep breath, and go back and read what you just wrote. Your whole mentality and approach to society is what is wrong with society.
Is there a moral issue with making out with another girls guy ? Well that depends on how low one's moral's are, and also depends if the BF knew and agreed to it happening. If its agreed by all parties, then no moral problem at all. If its going behind someone's back, then again it comes down to how low your moral's are. People who act in this way, more often than not have the "me,me,me" mentality and personality. Its all about them and what they want and can get. They are usually very good at telling their target exactly what they want to hear so "me,me,me" can get what they want. And THAT, is what is sick about society, and those that willingly contribute to it are spreading the sickness.

Everyone in society has a me me me attitude, I just win more. If you think you don't it's just one more thing that you're lying to yourself about. I'm the honest one here, don't forget that....apparently no one else is.
It's not my concern whether she has a BF, I mean with all the stuff I've seen and heard who can take "relationships" seriously? It's a bad investment, with no real pay off. You'll eventually be burned by making fear based decisions and/or letting your emotions run wild.
en.wikipedia.org...(ethology)
In social animals, the alpha is the individual in the community with the highest rank. Male or female individuals or both can be alphas, depending on their species. Where one male and one female fulfill this role, they are referred to as the alpha pair. Other animals in the same social group may exhibit deference or other symbolic signs of respect particular to their species towards the alpha or alphas.
In hierarchal social animals, alphas usually gain preferential access to food and other desirable items or activities, though the extent of this social effect varies widely by species. Male and/or female alphas may gain preferential access to sex or mates, and in some species only alphas or an alpha pair is permitted to reproduce.
Alphas may achieve their status by means of superior physical prowess and/or through social efforts and building alliances within the group.[1]
The position of alpha also changes in some species, usually through a physical fight between a dominate and subordinate animal. Such fights may or may not be to the death, with relevant behavior varying between circumstance and species.
Social animals in a hierarchic community are assigned ranks for the purpose of scientific study. Six of these ranks have attracted special attention in ethology and been given applicable names: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, and omega.[citation needed][original research?]
Beta animals often act as second-in-command to the reigning alpha or alphas and will act as new alpha animals if an alpha dies or is otherwise no longer considered an alpha.[original research?] In some species of birds, males pair up in twos when courting, the beta male aiding the alpha male. The beta male is not generally allowed to mate with the female birds, but if the old alpha is removed or dies, he takes over the alpha's females, becoming the new alpha.[citation needed] It has been found that the social context of the animals has a significant impact on courtship behaviour and the overall reproductive success of that animal.[2]
Omega (usually rendered ω) is an antonym used to refer to the lowest caste of the hierarchical society. Omega animals are subordinate to all others in the community, and are expected by others in the group to remain submissive to everyone. Omega animals may also be used as communal scapegoats or outlets for frustration, or given the lowest priority when distributing food.
