Why women enter relationships

You don't have to be Einstein to work out why women want a serious, long term relationship. In contrast to men, women are programmed to form a nest and raise a family. If men and women weren't programmed this way and sex wasn't so enjoyable (I hear!), then we Homo Sapiens wouldn't last too long! Of course, nowadays with all the jabs you can get, finding a man isn't strictly necessary for having a baby! However, skipping the most enjoyable part, the first few minutes of old fashioned conception, is such a shame!

Sure, not every woman wants kids - just the overwhelming majority. Some women feel safer with a more powerful male taking care of her. Others, like men, enter relationships for the companionship, the nookie or because of social pressure. The latter tends to be more pronounced for women as their prime child bearing years are her twenties and thirties. Men can still produce the goods well into their 80s, although why they'd want to at that age is another question! If the woman hasn't made inroads into finding a man by the time she hits 30, the pressure can be quite intense, especially from her family. This can lead to unions made for the wrong reason (or indeed arranged unions). Not the best basis for a relationship going forward.
