What would happen if there stopped being relationships between men and women?

Now, the answer to that question is very obvious, but everybody would give a different answer. I know what it is, but since we are all different, we ain't all going to respond the same way and we may add our own thoughts to the idea. I asked my mother this and she said...

'The human species would die.'

I say, 'the human race would die out.'

What would you say?

Exactly ...and even if they hate us they love babies. We can give them babies. Come on gals ...take advantage of us.
 
Well......all you guys can say and do what you want but this guy isn't switching teams. Lmao

Well um.. in my confused days, I have tried being on the same team before.... :whistling: But it just wasn't for me. lol However looking at the way things have been now.. maybe I should try again!!! :yum:
 
Some of the best sex I've had has been without commitment or a relationship. Just sex for the pure pleasure of having down and dirty, squeaky, squishy, juicy sex! She agreed, and we will forever have those memories.

Sadly, most women want this "I have to love you to crawl in the sack and ride your baloney pony" mentality, so it makes it hard to just find. Fuck buddy who just want sex and nothing more.

As for swinging the door the other way, it just ain't gonna happen. I'm just not wired for that shit.
 
I'm confused by the ambiguity of the question.

Are we talking about relationships in the sense of sexual relationships? Or are we talking about relationships in the sense of commitments.

The former will always happen. Period! Has nothing to do with promotion of the human species.

As to the latter, we are so narcissist and into ourselves any more. Which pretty much includes most relationships today. Almost no one actually makes a solemn commitment and keeps it. Two minutes, two nights, two months,,,, two years, twenty years, and it's on to the next mate. In terms of strong well bonded intimate relationships,,, I would suggest it likely that we are already degrading them to a level just above/below friendship.

Not a scold but an observation.

In any sexual copulation, there is a moment when each partner thinks only of themselves. It happens virtually every time. Normal, healthy, and acceptable, for physical sex.

In emotional bonding, I believe it should never happen.

Thanks. I was lucky. And have spent the last 46 years of my life with my best friend.

But I've seen so much pain in other relationships.

What I have been fortunate to learn is that it takes two to TANGO. But the dance is more rewarding if your commitment is to make your partner have the best time and she feels the same about your experience.

Hard to do for a long time but worth the effort. One can always find sex. At 68 it is hard to make new friends.
 
Relationships are complex. I can't say anything about them, really, because I have no experience with them, but I do know they ain't as simple as many think. Human beings have lots of ups and downs. They tend to play many different parts in relationships, for better, or worse.

If there stopped being relationships, men and women would drift apart and end up falling into really deep depressions. There are two genders for a good reason and that is to make sure men know the comfort and care of women, and women, the strength of men, not just physically, but emotionally and morally. One without the other lack the determination to push forward.

I almost died at my own hand because I was without a girlfriend. Had I had one, I'd never have made the attempt. She'd have given me reason not to without ever having to say a word. I couldn't have even thought of leaving her behind. She wasn't the only reason - there were many, but if a girl had been in my life, I'd never have let my anguish won over me.

Earlier this week during conversation with a casual acquaintance she asked how we had managed to stay together
for 46 years. The answer was and is really simple: if you married for the right reasons in the first place it's a lot easier
to work through the inevitable hard times that every relationship encounters. On the other hand if people marry
to get away from family, or for presumed security, or to "get it regular", or any of a dozen other truly bad reasons, that
marriage will fail when the bad times come, if not sooner. Dragonfly Lady and I have had some trying times but we
agreed before our honeymoon trip was over to do two things: never go to bed angry, and never keep anything bottled up
to fester into poison. The first thing cost us a few completely sleepless nights and the second, which was much, much
harder, taught us how to truly communicate.

I feel truly sorry for couples that marry for all the wrong reasons, but even more for those who marry for the right
reasons but don't set up rules, even informally, to handle those times when TSHTF ... as we all know it will. Their lack of
foresight has no doubt ended what otherwise might have been a solid, long-lasting relationship.


P.S. Franc, IMO it wasn't luck that kept you and Cathy together for 46 years! :thumb:

Nice of you to share this with us. Examples of relationships are useful to everyone who's willing to read and reason. I quite agree with your philosiphy. :smile:

I never said it was luck which kept us together. But it was luck that I met someone who was as committed to a successful "relationship" as I was.

I did not find her in a search, we just bumped into each other and knew within minutes. For me it was mostly hormones. For her it was perhaps a momentary act of Christmas kindness. We met Christmas day over the CB radio. Her boyfriend had one, my brother just got one for Christmas. Luck is the only explanation.

But I will agree with your assessment about SHTF. In a 50/50 relationship, there will impassable moments of disagreement. We found it best to allocate by subject, which of us has the tie breaking vote. And swore, like it or not, to live by the outcomes.

She decides the daily BS stuff like paying bills, financing a new car, paying taxes. I get the more important stuff like who should be President and what we should do about ISIS or immigration.

Seems to work out so far.

We never keep things bottled up. Instead, no matter what, we start each new day as though it were the first of our honeymoon. Constantly striving to know the new person who is the other half of our existence. That also seems to work well.

A friend of mine recently got dumped by his GF. Yesterday, he met her and she asked him something truly outrageous: to apologize and admit it was his fault that their relationship broke down.

Now, he can't do that because she was cheating on him for three months, sleeping around with other guys, one of whom was a friend of his. She'd been continuing the relationship like nothing was going on and then he found out about it.

Worse, one of his friends said he was taking her actions the wrong way. No friend does that to anyone. It's out of order.

So, in some cases, there shouldn't be relationships between men and women because one of them is a bitch or a bastard and can do more harm than good.
 
I would become Welsh,buy a sheep and have a leg of Lamb in the oven after having my leg over, wellies are needed i must get wellies.:yum::yum::yum:

What a stupid thread.
 
Life would become lonlier and lonlier if the event of this thread came to pass. Man ain't a species that clones itself. It's got two sexes for a good reason. Men offer strength, support and savvy. Women offer empathy, care and drive.

Plus, both, or at least the healthy members of both genders, believe in setting goals and accomplishing them and having fun along the way. Life wouldn't be the same with only one of them.
