If you had the option to choose any mate you wanted:

[Sufi]

Would you rather choose (and this will be until you pass away):

1) One-night stands.

or

2) One mate.


Really think about this one, you can choose whoever you want but once you agree to the terms, you can't bend them. So if you wanted one-night stands, if you find a mate you'd stay with, you can't after one night.

Whereas if you choose one mate, that's who you'll die with.

Having children is up to you but do understand that things can be different under multiple parents as opposed to two. So that's up to you to decide and it's only applicable if you actually want children.

Please choose your gender correctly. I know I'm not including the shemale gender in the list, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Commence.

Mate as in partner? If so, then definitely the mate.

[Sufi]

Haha, yes that's what I meant.

I forgot some of you guys in Europe use that as a term referring to a dude lol.

I didn't want to say spouse because there are gays that can't get married...I didn't want to use girl/woman because that'd be sexist.

So mate was the only thing I could think of.

EDIT: So far we have two people choosing a life-long mate. Maybe I shouldn't have made it public lol.

God I make the worst threads...

Significant Other.

Also your options skew the answer. Few people would be willing to deal with 1 night stands for the rest of their lives.(various reasons)

The alternative option to a lifelong significant other, should have been medium to long term relationships with the opposite sex, but no marriage is allowed. Children would be allowed. it would be up to the individual if they wanted to be with a SO for several years, or have a new relationship every year or so for example.

[-Kwesnoth-]

A lifelong partner.

But I already got that.

[Kuro]

One mate to cherish forever

That's exactly what I was thinking when I made the thread except one small difference:

At first, I wanted to ask if they choose anyone for long-term relationships without marriage of course or be with one partner their whole life.

I suck basically, I ruined it lol. I don't know how to change the polls either lol.

[wesmore24]

I'm kinda young, but I say mate. Im too emotional at times, so if i had a one night stand i'd find myself missing the girl I did it with.

[Sufi]

Alright, let me change the rules then. What if you could be with her for as long as you wanted but couldn't marry her for obvious reasons.

The reason why I actually came up with this thread is because recently I've been thinking that while we have monogamous feelings, I don't think that we were programmed to be that way, I think we control ourselves to be that way...because we are taught that it's the better thing to do and generally it is the better thing but it's something to think about.

What if, you could have the best time of your life with many partners in your life for as long as you wanted but you couldn't settle down with one...

Would you prefer that or just being married to one partner for the rest of your life?

[jj03]

Already married. Played the field from aged 15 to 29. Married now. Couldn't be happier...

Married here for two years now. Didn't really do the single thing all that much, but I'd still want that one person who'll always be there for you

Would you do it then?

Sure. Why not. Have as many partners at once as you please and they all love you.

[x6Teen]

lol i accidentally chose the one-night stand but yea, i choose a life-long partner.

I would still rather be married to one partner for the rest of my life.

I ultimately want one-mate, no children, but I don't want one-mate now. I'm still new to the whole relationship thing. I wanna observe and see how that works out for me.

Same here! Well, im especially new. I experienced love in my second relationship, depending on the person it can be the greatest thing ever experienced, the worst, or both, depending on what/how it happened. So now im just experimenting, if thats the word.

[mooninites]

I would go for the life long mate.
