I despise "romantic" intimacy, nonsensical rant

Out of all the human drives, the drive to find a mate and have an emotional intimacy with that mate. Is absolutely the most annoying thing EVAR!!!
Its like all the other drives I understand. Sex drive... yeah that's no problem we's got ta make babies!! There is a distinct difference between sexual desire and this emotional intimacy craving. Hunger... yeah I need to eat. The urge for friendship. The drive for social status. Yeah... you get the point.
I hate wanting "romantic" intimacy. Ya know life partner emotional connection bullshit.
I don't understand where this drive comes from. It seems unneccessary to me on a biological continuation of life level. Does it come from culture or is it a very real/natural human condition? It feels real to me.
I wish I was cool with being single forever, but that fucking urge to find something more then a fuck buddy comes in. It's annoying.I consider it to be my biggest flaw as a person. I care too much. HAha! ahh.... this shit is fucked yo. Anyone found a way to kill the urge for a mate permenantely? I've considered castration, but that's when I thought that it was the sex drive, which it might be a part of, but is definently different then the sex drive....... plus I'd probaly miss my balls.
Or is this shit all in my mind?
I mean it's all in my mind of course, but surely I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I really just don't want to be pissed off/sad about it anymore, that's all. Not having a partner to share life with, I mean. I just want peace with it, but i'm not sure I understand it. Yah.... basically I don't want to care at all. Sometimes I don't, but how do I get there all the time? Because it seems like it comes back with a vengence when I ignore it.

Are you old enough to be a member here?
Seriously, you don't know how wanting a partner is advantageous in an evolutionary sense? It's to help raise babies.

Ay man, I did say it was nonsensical. Your fault for taking it seriously buddy.
So what age would this "biological" drive go away then? Because obviously there are optimum times to breed and raise children for men and women. Also it feels different then just wanting a partner for biologies sake. It's more about the emotional aspect of partner wanting. I'm not sure you understood what I was trying to say.
Gay people want "romantic"/emotional intimacy. You cannot possibly say that is to help raise babies.

No you're not the only one. That shit is a pain in the ass and it makes people act like crazed fools sometimes. Part of being an animal I guess.
I found heavy opiate use greatly supressed those feelings but then you have a whole new set of problems. I never thought of it but I think evading the whole romance thing was a big reason I started getting high in the first place.

It makes my head spin...

Men have nipples, but we are still unable to feed babies with them. Some traits just come in the genetic package, even if they're not needed by the individual.

I don't understand where this drive comes from.
As Doc_T stated: it helps to raise the babies. But there are conflicting traits. Apart from romantic lovers, there are also players, rapists, adulterers, etc. It's the combination of those traits that have helped us to be successful as a species. But given the widespread popularity of romantic love, it's apparently an element of a successful survival strategy. Which isn't very odd, given the fact that our spawn tends to be practically unable to survive on its own for several years, and apparently it helps if there is more than one parent about. Although granted, there are sufficient examples of one parent being enough, so apparently, the utility of romantic love is limited.

Results speak for themselves- humans are the dominant species on this planet. Whatever we are doing, it must be working out ok. And romantic love is part of that.

I would respond to that by arguing that we are doing just well enough to beat the rest of the species. That doesn't mean we're doing well; just that we're doing better than others.
Btw, don't forget the ants. They're pretty successful too.

Ants aren't at the top of the food chain- I am.
While it's true we're just barely better than some other species, there's millions of species. And in historic time, many millions of species that we have outcompeted. Which makes us the best of the best of the best, so to speak.

I agree. For now. Until we are outcompeted by other species.

Every living species on the planet has survived until now. Being at the top of the food chain doesn't mean we are "winning". It's not a race. It's about passing on your genes.
Everyone is winning currently except maybe Pandas.

Hey, and besides, how would you feel like if a dozen of biologists is looking over your shoulder when you're about to fuck a woman huh?
Sorry, forgot about your epic gangbang thread for a moment
