There is no real point. None whatsoever.
A condensed version of the post I made before it was accidentally deleted is that humans can live for a purpose other than reproduction. In fact, living only to get married and have a child is a pretty pointless existence. It's like people do it simply to keep the human race alive. So many people decide to completely give up their hopes and dreams in order to pursue a life with one person. I don't understand it.
Why should someone need a "special someone", anyway? How does that validate your existence? At the very least, don't friends matter? They genuinely enjoy your company and they don't require an interview. If they didn't enjoy your company, they wouldn't hang around you. People should really learn to keep themselves happy instead of relying on someone else all the time.
I really wish pairing up wasn't treated as such a sacred ritual in our culture. No matter where I look, everything treating it as if it is the holy grail of living. All mediums of art and pop culture do it for instance, starting from children's shows all the way into adulthood. It's emphasized so much in everything that we do that maybe the mindset that we need someone is just conditioned into our way of thinking. That's probably why people put so much emphasis on it.
I just don't understand how some people can't be happy unless they're in a relationship. I understand Love and I understand the concept of being "in love", but there are much much more important things in life. Treating it as a status symbol and tirelessly searching for it and interviewing every possible candidate is pointless. In the time people spend searching for one person to love them (despite having friends and family that love them already), they could be doing so much more for themselves.
