This should be a research question for some PhD psychology students. But I give my own thoughts on this topic.
PhD always demands more time and girlfriend always want you to spend time with her ! Contradiction starts here! PhD student always think about his research problem and his subconsious brain always work to solve some problems.
Girls want their boyfriend to live in their moment and feel the love and enjoy their company. It is possible to have balance between research and social life but most of the PhD students cannot figure out how to attain such a balance.
Research is not like a day job where you work 8hrs a day. Sometimes I witnessed student coming to their Office @ 10 pm and they start working enthusiastically. Even if a PhD student master all the concepts from ” Men are from Mars and women are from Venus” and have good flirting skills, he may not to upto the girl’s expectation.
What if his girlfriend is also a PhD student? It is like having hot shower in a hot sunny day! Never Works ! So does girlfriend is kinda of distraction to your PhD? ( a good research question for new PhD student). It dont know the answer but distraction is always gonna strecth your PhD. (There is an argument that is going between me & Mr. HITCH now. Mr.HITCH has gotta a girlfriend and infact she understands him very well and Mr.HITCH is hitting milestone with his PHD because of his girlfriend)
Some of the my colleagues dont have a girlfriend and they reckon they shouldn’t. Is this a pattern only occuring among Engineering Post grads or elsewhere?
I will stick to my single status till I find a girl where I can attain the “Balance between my PhD and her”. My girlfriend should understand what I am really upto and ready to walk along with me having her head sliding against my shoulder ! If your girlfriend accepts you and understands your nature of work, I bet …. You are living in HEAVEN and she is an ANGEL.
Give your verdict on this topic?

Girlfriend, a necessity for a “single” guy. It is a GOSPEL TRUTH. But why people are more fancied by this “Girlfriend Concept”. All of my aussie friends ask me the same question ” Do you have a girlfriend?” I took a considerable amount of time investigating about what is the necessity for a girlfriend.
I have signboard on my door saying ” Recruiting Girlfriend. All the straight women can apply” Seems Funny but these things never work. It is very complicated to understand what a girl wants ! This complicacy is the main reason why men are attracted to girls. All the “Single” guys life is full of fun like partying,drinking, hanging out with friends. But sometime they feel alone. Their soul needs a companion. It may be due to social pressures. If some his friends in Facebook update their status to engaged or committed, if make the “Single” guy to feel ashamed. Anyway In my opinion Having a Girlfriend is a good idea. It challenges guy’s ability to make a girl laugh, persuade her, comfort her, do the things which she likes !!
The girlfriend has to be compatible with guy. It is still mysterious how compatibility works out ( since I never lived with a girl together ) but sometimes breakup occurs in their temporary relationship.
From the Indian culture point of view, guy’s girlfriend must be his wife. The first love always comes into picture if you are some other girl. The Western people use this expression “She is my ex girlfriend”. It was really astonishing to see a girl is kissed by lot of boyfriends in her life until she finds her “RIGHT GUY”.
Indians considers kiss & sex are reserved only for their partners and most of girls are follow strict culture when it comes to kissing !
My next edition would be on “How Indians try to get a girlfriend and what is funny about it”
