Creating a di-sectional relationship requires the individual to identify what their needs are from a single partner. And then actively engineering a friendship circle that caters to all of those specific needs. It eliminates the need for a single "life partner" and enables the individual to share themselves with a larger pool of people to form meaningful relationships. Its important to note that the difference between a "di-sectional connection" and a "friend" is fairly minimal... The differentiating factor is that a di-sectional connection is an "investment" in time/effort in order to satisfy a "need". Where as a traditional friendship rarely has a specific need in mind. Although many people do form friendships purely on "shared interests" or "emotional support" etc... people in di-sectional relationships take it to the next level. On the face of it, it may appear as being "manipulative" however the Individual only gets out of the relationship what they put into it... (like all relationships) the fact that someone is on the lookout for a friend to fill a particular need is simply an form of "selection criteria" that ends up catering to a more broad and clearly defined set of needs. The secondary benefit is that if any single friendship ends (for whatever reason), the individual is not left out in the cold, they still have "most of their needs" met within their di-sectional group, and can start seeking out another friend to fill the "missing needs". If you think about it, expecting ALL of the emotional, physical, support, entertainment, shared interests etc... from a single person is a "big ask" ! I expect many people move from one "failed relationship" to another because their expectations of a single person are often "too high", for those people I suspect di-sectional relationships are a good option to consider. I suggest no more than 5-7 people in a di-sectional group, beyond that it is difficult for anyone to find enough time to invest in a quality relationship.
