Why....?

Lovelyivy, I agree with what you're saying, to an extent. I think that you can value your sexuality while not being in a serious relationship, and I agree that there are many women out there who have a lot of sex but also have low self esteem and are trying to use sex to get other things. That said, there are certainly also women who enjoy a more "wild" sex life who do have good self esteem, and who appreciate sex for what it is and aren't looking for anything more -- granted, these women may be rare, but they do exist.

Here's something else, unrelated, that I was wondering. What if we, as a society, stopped putting so much emphasis on relationships? I think that there is a huge pressure on people to be in relationships, and it seems that this pressure is very strong in the greek system. I have seen so many people here on GC stressed out about finding a date for a date party, or finding someone to do one thing or another with, and why? I understand that one can always take a friend to a date party, but it just seems like so much drama. Why don't organizations start having no-date parties, where everyone goes alone or brings friends? Why don't people who are in relationships stop blowing off their friends who aren't in them -- and I know I've been guilty of this as well. Wouldn't we all be better off if the world suddenly became more "single" friendly?
