Why date at all?

morgaine816

I have been married and divorced more times than I can count and only once did I do the divorcing. With the gigs and parties that I want to do that actually help me I never have the energy to do the dates they want to keep them happy. Other than having a rank on the couple board I have not seen a benefit of being a steady couple. Am I missing something?

No, you're not. It can be a big hassle. When I have the energy for it, I like the silly little rush of dating a GC friend who's looking good, though. For me, it's just an added little bit of fun when I feel like it... No big deal.

I'm on my second marriage, but have had multiple boyfriends... the only rewards I can think of are the daily energy & money you get from your spouse, and the rewards when you hit a certain level in your relationship, and the experience points you get during dates... that's really it. I don't move much on the couple's ranking. Been #48 for a while. I totally saved a ton of money being single. But I'll go on a date if its 1 or 2 hrs and I can do it real quick at Oak or if I have full energy and have a free date in Dubai or the Hamptons...

Yeah, I thought that was going to be great but since a pet can give you energy and money every 4 hours and a spouse only once per day it seems like another way he is a self absorbed drain on my busy lifestyle.

I got second married just in time for v day update but it didn't last very long. I'm trying to do my comeback I need energy for parties. The guys in this game are so silly, my first husband broke up with me because we were 'practically strangers' - like, you're in all of my houses. And my shop. And always waiting for me by that bicycle. Don't think so chummy. If dating got us fans I'd be more interested, but yeah I kind of agree with you.

Thinking of getting divorced in the game. Who can deal with the constant whining for a daily date? :O

Or the output of energy bolts...when they could be used for earning money instead...

I agree with your sentiment 100%. I *hate* forced dating with a passion. I'm engaged now, but I think I'll stay engaged indefinitely as obligatory dates are only once a day, lol. Play the field, Morgaine, break some hearts. My current fiancée is a GC player, so I have fun seeing the new outfits she wears. She's completed this event, for example.

Today is a good example. I should be spending my (real) time and the game energy bolts on parties, for the event. Instead, I am checking in every so often in order to fill up one date with the game spouse.

It's really annoying.

I declined my husband tonight. He needs to understand how busy I am... I don't have time to take him out. He should be taking me out!

Dating is fun for me. It's nice going home and seeing a handsome guy just standing there. It doesn't matter if it's my 4th time being married. I don't know. I don't look at it as inconvenient but it cost money that you might find annoying to spend.

But after a while, spending 650 on a date isn't so terrible if you're getting hundreds of dollars per gig anyway

Well marriage is hard work and our little starlet should learn that
But yeah essentially there's no point to it.

Currently divorced but IDK, I kind of miss all the excitment of getting married so I'm back to dating again. This weekend though, I've hadn't time to date so I hope my current guy doesn't want to breakup due to neglect. I missed day with my last boyfriend and he broke up with me fast, sheezh
