To while away the time mainly, like everything,... To socialize, to have a laugh, kind of what you say. To influence the world and being influenced... so not being isolated.
All I know is that I prefer to have them than not to have them, and I don't think there is a single cause for it.
But let me tell you, I rarely would want to spent a long time living with any of my friends. The more you stay together, the more apart you are, the more differences shows, etc. And that's kind of what a girlfriend would be... or maybe not, I'm really ignorant in this, just guessing.
(I'm a weird one, don't feel "pity" or so for me, it's the opposite of what I want, I'm very used to my state... well, I came to this web searching for "social skills" and I've learn about a lot of things but getting a girlfriend. :-)
