67. I understand that you feel that way...
...but many people don't.

Many people, including myself, find the richness, depth and satisfaction
from a real, honest relationship to be more important than screwing around
with multiple partners.

In fact, the thought of multiple partners, dating--and all of that jazz, seems
like child's play to me--compared to what I have now.

I agree that monogamy may be more difficult when you're younger--because of biology
and hormones. However, richer experiences await as a person ages.
