There is no exact number, only educated guesses, because size of human in terms of mass can change the number drastically. Like 50Kg woman vs 150Kg man.

~30 trillion cells in the average human ~72Kg. Perhaps they all have souls too, if they are not sentient/self aware on an individual level. ;)

There are estimates that around 8000 different species of bacteria live within the human digestive tract, unclear if that is the norm or each person gets a small slice of the 8K viable possibilities.

During the life time of a human, 75 years on average, how many quadrillions of viral, bacterial and fungal infections/counts does a human body hold host to (skin has a whole colony of fungus/bacteria and microscopic life forms e.g. mites, in addition), not to speak of larger multi-cellular parasites (worms in intestinal tract etc).

Humans, like all living creatures on this planet are an environment for an entire ecosystem of life, a mobile host/colony.

Just like all the life within, on and outside of a human, a human creates more copies of itself, because life span is limited. A partner is required for that, as humans can not replicate via parthenogenesis.

After shelter, food/drink, medicine; a partner is the next most important thing. All BS aside, the short form of it might be surmised as instinct.

The real question is why "life" does all of this, does it start at a level lower than virus or does it start at virus level, if we are nothing more than complex series of seemingly accidental and co-incidental chemical reactions (biology as a sub-set of chemistry as a sub set of physics as a sub set of maths), then yes indeed you have a good question, since simply being alive for a day is succeeding for others already, not just yourself.

Even if you don't feel amazing, your continued existence is, all things considered, especially with how fragile life is. Outer space lethal to life, planet core lethal to life, we all stuck on a tiny slither of existence, even if Earth seems massive compared to a human (all the lifeforms within the bio-sphere being plentiful, both in count and species, whales/trees down to virus size), its nothing more than a grain of sand in an ocean, in the grand scheme of things.

If I have a point, enjoy your life as best you can, don't concern yourself what others are doing or not doing.

probably because they haven't had a relationship yet

doubtless to make their ex jealous

ikr, with all the egirls around, who needs a partner?

The illusion of paid companionship will be replaced by AI / machines highly personalized and custom made. In sort the more tech advances the more humanity is going to self isolate and create a tailor made "world" for themselves, which is dystopian to think about.

and on pain companionship, i find it to be so sad and pathetic if u have to pay for someone to like u or have ♥♥♥ with u. like imagine thats all u hve in life. "something better than nothing" but really, i feel like i rather just die than have to pay for basic connection LOL

That's probably because you're not a man
Plenty of men would.

its also kinda funny cuz it becomes a loop, if you think about it .

>Man craves connection
>Man buys connection because he cannot achieve by non-monetary means
>Women look down on Man because he has to buy and cannot achieve connection without monetary means
>Man can only achieve connection through monetary means.

Well it's just another symptom of a broken system that's just there to exploit one the many weakest link among humanity, lonely people. Other would be the "beauty" industry which exploits self-conscious people about unrealistic beauty standards, other would be the housing sector which exploit the fear of tenants to be homeless, etc.

Yeah, I get you. For plenty of men the only viable option for "physical intimacy" is by using their wallet and most women wouldn't want a man who can't get said intimacy without paying for it in the first place. Women don't really have this problem, no matter what you look like or what your personality is like, you could easily find guys who are willing and wanting.

So true!
also the plastic surgery industry which now is speculating that fillers and injections cause cancer! becaues theyre actually really new procecdures.

Some people are curious about what it feels like to be accepted and loved by another person.

It feels like it's a perfect example of "it seemed like a good idea at the time."

So I guess the future will also have a huge spike in cancer patients, while the plastic surgery industry will still make billions of dollars profit wise year per year as if nothing has happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
