Aside from what Jariel and HumbleNinja said, which really covers a lot of ground...
First off, no way is better. You can serially date girls all your life if you want. If people look down on you for it, I would say they are being haters. You don't have to commit to women because its the emotionally legit, NewJack-approved wisdom on Life.
But the main reason guys become interested in deep bonds with women is....
Depth of experience. Some experiences are shallow, the feelings in them are small, their ability to rock your world is small. Other experiences are very deep.
When people don't deeply commit, or if their dating life is an ongoing series of experiments and sex-adventures, the one thing you can generally be sure of is that those experiences won't contain a lot of emotional depth.
One of the reasons for this is just sheer anxiety. Its possible to date 47 different women in 3 years, and never have really gotten past the 'awkward getting to know each other stage' with any of them. You could even have banged all 47 of these girls (ok that would never happen, but to make a point), and the sex would be, for the most part, that 'awkward getting to know each other sex'. Sometimes it would be amazing but mostly it would just be awkward.
Why? The reason is anxiety. Where there is trust, people are relaxed. When they are relaxed, they enjoy themselves more. The potential for deeper experience is there. But when a guy is hopping from girl to girl, never committing, never bonding, he is never really relaxed. He may learn to fake it, but he can never relax. How can you relax around a person you don't know/trust but are intimate with?
The same posters who I see with the most intricate mental machinery for 'Performing Experiments in The Dating Science', are the guys who communicate between the lines of their posts that they just can't relax in these areas.
Commitment and connection and heart-alignment and all that good stuff is mostly so that YOU can one day relax. Its a fortunate byproduct of this that the woman will also relax.
And why do you want to relax more? So you can have deeper orgasms, longer-lasting lovemaking, deeper ongoing enjoyment of life, enjoyment of being around your partner, less stress in many regards, and lots more stuff that I am too distracted with work to be able to list here. So those are some thoughts to chew on.
[edit: sorry to trivialize the subject matter by listing deeper orgasms as item #1. I can't really make the whole case for why an emotionally connected existence trumps an emotionally disconnected existence within one comment, given that I ought to be working now anyway. But yeah, DEEPER ORGASMS baby! why not?]
I'll try and address the core of your question, without getting lost in clever specifics or trying to convince.1. Why should any man commit 100% to ONE woman and not spin plates in 2013?
2. How does a man benefit LONG-TERM from forming a deep faggish "bond" with a woman in 2013?
