Do relationships improve or reduce your creativity/productivity?
brooksbp: If you're just looking for ass n' tits, hit up the strip club, get wasted at a frat party and score some bitches, hell - order a hooker.Otherwise, most of the time, viewing a relationship as a hinderance on your productivity is viewing the relationship as an excuse.  There really is no concrete solution to your problem because the problem is all in your head.  Chances are, you just haven't found the right person to be in a relationship with.  And yeah, the good ones are scarce...I have been a single college hacker for quite a while.  I've had my ass n' tits stage.  I'm currently in an amazing relationship, see my girl almost every day, and still have plenty of time on my hands.  She boosts my mental health in most ways I can think of: creativity, happiness, open-mindedness, etc...  About to see how working full-time in the "real world" (vs student) will affect us.Trust yourself and your judgement, and find yourself someone who compliments you.  Otherwise, you're stuck with a mess in your head and seeking advice on HN... which will probably still leave you with a mess in your head ;)
