why do some people think that sex is overrated? (dating, guy, children)

What if A is willing to pay $100 for a romp, and B is willing to pay $1000 for that same romp...

That's dumb.

Most women are willing to give it to you for free.

Doesn't matter. Just b/c something can be had for free, doesn't mean that it's not worth something. you can forage for nuts & berries for free, doesn't mean that buying groceries is overrated.

1. sex is not overrated
2. people marry too young
3. people think that there is someone out there that is much more sexually interesting than their current partner.
4. the premise of #3 is false
5. People need to date well into their late 20s or early 30s.
6. When people do #5, they will realize that #3 is false
7. People realize that, when they are older, sex is an artifact of love and is mutually reinforcing.
8. Sex and love become intertwined, to a certain extent, with a mutual understanding of give and take. This is not possible at a younger age, as most young men are testosterone driven.
9. With age, one comes to understand that love is not always involved with sex, and vice versa.
10. Choose wisely. Women always look good when they are young
11. Crazy only gets worse as women get older
12. All women age
13. If you really love someone, aging is okay (keep in mind that males age at the same rate)
14. I love my wife a little more each day from the time we were married.
15. Marrying someone with no faith is a gamble; if they have no faith in anything, chances are that they will have no faith in you (this is from a former atheist who married a devout Catholic and now understands faith in God much more clearly).

When it is with a person that you are actually attracted to physically and emotionally, it it not overrated

When it is scripted, done under the influence or used as a tool.... it is overrated

Misery loves company. I've found that most people who consider sex overrated can't get it or aren't "allowed" to have it.

I have found that "people" who accuse others of not getting any are the real ones not getting laid themselves...

And NO, rape does not count, like your occupy wall st friends...

I think people make too much of a big deal about it, but i'm sure it's awesome.

Wrong use of ellipsis, O college educated one.

Anyway, why are you assuming that OWS folk endorse rape? Do you endorse abortions because you're a conservative? See how ridiculous that is.

Sex being overrated is a subjective matter. I think you would know that, wouldn't you?

For some people it is overrated. I've known a few women--youngish ones, too--who freely admitted it meant very little to them. Probably a few men are like that, too.

They aint doing it right.

When you stop and consider how many people/careers/empires have tumbled because of sex, it's easier to see how it gets such a high rating.

Now that I am older my libido isn't the driving force in my life anymore. Pretty girls still catch my eye, but those are just residual sensations; like those phantom limb sensations amputees feel.
