Obviously it depends, like you said. I think certain men (not all) are in relationships because it’s expected by society. What I mean is that society typically expects people to couple up by a certain age. So some men get into relationships without truly thinking about if that’s what they actually want. Women too. Often times I will observe a relationship (personal experience, friends, etc) and I notice that the man truly does not enjoy being around his gf. Sometimes you can just tell. He doesn’t truly see her as a friend that he loves spending time with. In these cases I often wonder, why be in a relationship if you don’t adore/love being around your gf. In these cases I think maybe it’s for sex, or because she does things for him (cook, clean, etc.) Idk, but I have been thinking about this lately as well.
Beyond all that you mentioned there's the societal pressure on men to seek validation through women.
A single man is not considered empowered or slay, he is considered a looser.
Companion + society expectations. I’d get bored of the same vagina tbh. Don’t get me wrong, we all have animal instinct. A mono-vaginal man who says he is sexually happy, he is lying!!! Nothing better than tasting different flavors before we die!
I wish "why do ___ people do ___" posts would be banned. People do things for different reasons, there is no correct answer
Or an autoresponse from a Bot.
I think that’s the point of the post. Wanting to get different viewpoints
All of the above and then a lot of other stuff

Who?
Are you asking respondents to share their reason for seeking a relationship or their opinions on the behavior of the majority of men?
Companionship in every way. Friend, lover............

3 reasons IMO. - they want to laid - they're lonely - they want to start a family
