I'm not sure why it would be considered reasonable unless one thought Jesus was supposed to be generic or assumed that everyone was married/dating back then.

Jesus did live the life of a human so there are no doubts regarding that.

However, the life of a human is not necessarily tied to the notion of love, romance, or sex.

Those aren't even requirements in our day so not sure why it would be for a time where men could have more than one wife and marriages were routinely arranged.

And to be clear, I'm not saying that Jesus wouldn't be involved in romantic endeavors, only the notion that he likely was or should be involved is a silly assumption to make and especially since any relationship would be temporary.

Jesus was human, part of being human is romantic attachment, it seems to me that it is more likely he engaged in romantic attachement than he did not.

I disagree that the life of a human is not fundamentally tied to love, romance or sex, those things are a fundamental part of our nature.

There are those humans who do not engage in such things, but they are a very small percentage of the total.

But then, what would be the point of doing this? Wasn't the whole idea of jesus that he came to experience human life? Isn't that largely invalidated if the life he chose to live was an strongly abnormal one?
