Why do people feel the need for a partner?
I've just seen a post by Amberlou baby n a similar post by a guy after a woman. It just made me think - why?
Don't get me wrong, we all have urges and what not, but I don't think I've ever sat round thinking "oh I need a woman in my life".
I get up, go to work, go for a pint with my mates, jam with my band (when I'm in one) n if I meet someone I like n things go well we get it on. If things progress fine, if not never mind. But why do people long for someone else in their lives?
See that's what i mean, my hormones say "Nail someone" not "settle with someone". I know it sound harsh but i'm just trying to be honest and figure it out.

Some people are not satisfied with casual sexual encounters and relationships.
I'm a single parent with three kids, and want and need emotional support and intellectual stimulation from a mature adult female, not what I can get from my mates over a pint at the local.

Different people have different needs in their lives. For some people it is very important to have someone that they can share their life with. Other people like you on the other hand don't require someone who is always there to share things with. Some day you may change your mind, but it is your life and your choice about what you want or need.

Humans are a social creature, they desire company. that is how we survived, all the other animals were stronger faster, but when hum,ans unite they can wipe out every living creature on earth ! SO I would say it is a result of natural selection as to why people get lonley if they are alone. All the hermits died off

Horse for courses, what suits you might not suit others.
There is a lot of pressure put on young people to have a boy/girl friend, be thin, be tanned, to dress sexily, to have sex, to drink. If you don't feel that pressure all the better for you, carry on doing what you're doing until you want something more.

People are too scared to be alone. We (most people) need some type of reassurance from someone besides themselves and thats what a mate can do for you. People have the natural desire to love and be loved

It is in our nature to be with someone of the opposite sex and procreate. Also, once you are ready for this and had it at some point, there is a void there. Some people expect to be with someone and have for most of their lives, thus they long to fill this objective...

It's a human's biological instinct to want to find a partner and to reproduce to keep the species alive.
