I have been asking myself this question lately and I don't seem to find any strong reasons for wanting to be in relationship. I am 33, single, no children, I have a couple female friends who are, lets say a bit more than just friends and if I ever need a date, I invite one of them, we go out, do everything like couples do and it works out just great. I travel at least once every 2 weeks, and when I want to travel by myself, I can go, have a good time like I did 3 weeks ago, without having to hear any BS or nagging from any woman. What would be the advantages of being in a relationship?

If you're so happy doing what you do, why do you care about the advantages of a relationship or not? Some people actually want a relationship, some don't. It's not for everyone.
I do find it interesting the ones who ask or b*tch about this type of issue are the ones who secretly wish they were in a relationship.......just sayin'.
The most obvious answer is that a casual relationship that includes sex can often become much more important to a couple if they have deep feelings about each other and they begin thinking about the future and the fact that they don't want to lose what they have. Your OP seems to suggest that your female friends aren't all that important to you and can easily be replaced. I also doubt if they know about each other. I guess it depends on what is important to a person. If the concept of falling in love and really having someone there for you ever becomes more appealing you may find that your priorities could change.

You have friends with benefits and from your point of view theres currently none. When these women move on bc they do have an interest in an exclusive relationship, whats the game plan...finding other friends with benefits?
We dont all nag or spout BS, you might be running with the wrong women?
It is not just that, it the whole idea of having to report to the other person everything you do and why you are doing it. I can understand why a person who is in a relationship would want to know what the other person is doing but I get so tired of it sometimes.
My last relationship, sometimes, I would make plans for the weekend, when Fri night came, she would be like, I am sorry but I am not feeling well, etc, then I would have to spend my entire weekend in misery. Also, it sucks when you need to get something done and your partner is just not a reliable person.

I dont have to report to my SO, but then again, he is over 800 miles away.
Seriously though, if the partner is unreliable, the the lines of communication need to be opened, and matters discussed in a mature manner.
Just a for instance, I mentioned to my SO a couple of weeks ago that I needed to get copies of my birth certificate and divorce records when I go home to see him in August.
Lo and behold, certified copies showed up in the mail this afternoon, I didnt ask him to get them, he went and did it for me....but then again, it could have been because I am only going to be in Missouri for 2 weeks, and he didnt want to have to go to the courthouse with me.....
Just an example of what a REAL relationship is like, I know I can always depend on him.
Also, I don't know many people who are extremely happy in their current relationships, especially the ones who are married and have children.
Most men end up marrying and having children because the woman pressures them into doing it, and because they are weak-minded and many can't get anything else, they end up giving in.
I don't know many single men who would beg their girlfriends to marry them, except some real losers.

Why? Because she is getting what she wants at least once a day and so am I!LOL..... I also need someone for companionship and love that my friends cannot provide.
